Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 97%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of
U.S. issuers. The Fund deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if (i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange,
NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) it (alone or through its consolidated subsidiaries) derives 50% or more of its
annual revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services performed in the U.S.; (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has
a principal office in, the U.S.; or (iv) its “country of risk” is the U.S. as determined by a third party service provider
such as Bloomberg. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid- and large-capitalization issuers. The principal type of equity
security in which the Fund invests is common stock.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund’s
portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers.
The
Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in emerging markets
countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The
Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a greater percentage
of its assets in a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
The
Fund’s investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser),
uses a bottom-up stock selection process designed to seek alpha (return on investments in excess of the Russell 1000®
Growth Index), as well as a disciplined portfolio construction process designed to manage risk. The Adviser uses a holistic approach that
closely examines company fundamentals, including detailed modeling of a company’s financial statements and discussions with company
management teams, suppliers, distributors, competitors, and customers. The Adviser uses a variety of valuation techniques based on the
company in question, the industry in which the company operates, the stage of the company’s business cycle, and other factors that
best reflect a company’s value. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies with attractive growth outlooks at compelling valuation
levels.
The
Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when a company
is deemed to be overvalued, a company’s fundamentals deteriorate, the catalysts for growth are no longer present or reflected in
the stock price or if the company is displaced by a more attractive investment opportunity.

American Franchise Fund
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk. Mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable
to changing market conditions and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources
than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies,
and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market.
Growth
Investing Risk. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price
fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline
sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than
larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or
investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor
during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are
unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than
other securities because of investor speculation.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater
extent
on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if
conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and
more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets
may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Such countries’
economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies
in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing
and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about
such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law
and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to
bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions
on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such
as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign
entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments
in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures,
and lack of timely information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or
any single issuer than a diversified fund can. A change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the
value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.

all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the

broker-dealer
or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or
financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the
Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers. The Fund deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if (i) its principal
securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) it (alone or through
its consolidated subsidiaries) derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services performed
in the U.S.; (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, the U.S.; or (iv) its “country of risk”
is the U.S. as determined by a third party service provider such as Bloomberg. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-
and large-capitalization issuers. The principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a large-capitalization issuer if it has a
market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized companies included in the Russell
1000®
Growth Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end
data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market
capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Midcap®
Growth Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities that are considered by the Fund’s
portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers.
The
Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in emerging markets
countries. Emerging markets countries are those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles.

In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic
4 Invesco
American Franchise Fund
activity
across many industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally
and cause general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics)
at the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk. Investing in securities of mid-capitalization companies
involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. Securities of mid-capitalization
companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced
management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid
than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities
market.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more
difficult
to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor
speculation.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions,
government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries
and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the SEC.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing
and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information
about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies.
The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank,
depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country
or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to
time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater
risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities
risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such
foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange
rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance,
currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence
of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating
in emerging markets may have greater concentration in a few industries resulting in greater vulnerability to regional and global trade
conditions and also may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Unexpected
market closures may also affect investments in emerging markets. Settlement procedures may differ from those of more established securities
markets, and settlement delays may result in the inability to invest assets or dispose of portfolio securities in a timely manner. As
a result there could be subsequent declines in value of the portfolio security, a decrease in the level of liquidity of the portfolio,
or, if there is a contract to sell the security, a possible liability to the purchaser.

American Franchise Fund
Such
countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries
or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Emerging market countries may also have higher rates of inflation
and more rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates and greater sensitivity to interest rate changes. Further, companies in emerging
market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping
standards than companies in more developed countries and, as a result, the nature and quality of such information may vary. Information
about such companies may be less available and reliable and, therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in emerging markets
may be limited which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. In addition, certain emerging market countries have
material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which hinder the ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating in certain emerging
markets; therefore, there is no guarantee that the quality of financial reporting or the audits conducted by audit firms of emerging market
issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Securities
law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled.
Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder
rights may change quickly and unpredictably. Emerging market countries also may have less developed legal systems allowing for enforcement
of private property rights and/or redress for injuries to private property (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation,
nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking). Certain governments may require approval for the repatriation
of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. The ability to bring and enforce actions in
emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may
be difficult or impossible to pursue. In addition, the taxation systems at the federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries
may be less transparent and inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change.
Emerging
market countries may have a higher degree of corruption and fraud
than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources. The governments in some emerging market countries have been engaged in programs to sell all or part of their interests
in government-owned or controlled enterprises. However, in certain emerging market countries, the ability of foreign entities to participate
in privatization programs may be limited by local law. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be successful.
Other
risks of investing in emerging market securities may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Non-Diversification
Risk . The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it can invest
a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified
fund can. Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers, a change in the value
of one or a few issuers’ securities will affect the value of the Fund more than would occur in a diversified fund.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available
to the
Adviser in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.57% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio
Managers
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾
Ronald
J.
Zibelli, Jr., CFA (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2022 and has been associated with Invesco
and/or its affiliates since 2019. From 2006 to 2019, Mr. Zibelli was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm.
◾
Ido
Cohen, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2010 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2010.
◾
Erik
Voss, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2010 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2010.
Effective
on or about June 30, 2023, Mr. Voss will no longer serve as a Portfolio
Manager of the Fund.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all
aspects of the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction
techniques, portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which
a lead or co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers'
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.

Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

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

9 Invesco
American Franchise Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund

not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾

◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾

registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and

Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.

Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint

Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the Fund or the transfer agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily

Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

redemption transactions.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.

Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:

or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following

of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 70%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund mainly invests in common stocks of “growth companies.” Growth companies are companies that the portfolio managers expect
to have above-average growth rates. Currently, the Fund intends, under normal circumstances, to focus primarily on companies that are
similar in size to companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund invests primarily in U.S. companies but may also purchase securities
of issuers in any country, including developed countries and emerging markets. The Fund has no limits on the amount of its assets that
can be invested in foreign securities. The portfolio managers look for growth companies with stock prices that they believe are reasonable
in relation to overall stock market valuations. In seeking to invest across a variety of industries and market sectors, the portfolio
managers focus on a number of factors that may vary in particular cases and over time. Currently, the portfolio managers look for:
◾
companies
in business areas that have above-average growth potential
◾
companies
with growth rates that the portfolio managers believe are sustainable over time
◾
stocks
with reasonable valuations relative to their growth potential.
The
Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a greater percentage
of its assets in a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
The
Fund may sell the stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe
no longer meet the above criteria, but is not required to do so.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in
1 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Growth
Investing Risk. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price
fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline
sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than
larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or
investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor
during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are
unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than
other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and
more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets
may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Such countries’
economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies
in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing
and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about
such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law
and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to
bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions
on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such
as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign
entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market countries may be limited by local law. Investments
in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures,
and lack of timely information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or
any single issuer than a diversified fund can. A change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the
value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the
performance of the
2 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
Oppenheimer
Capital Appreciation Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund, which was consummated
after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced
operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The
performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance
and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.
The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares
of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund after
the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different
from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance for Class A shares has been restated to reflect
the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of
at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related

companies
may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing
the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund mainly invests in common stocks of “growth companies.” Growth
companies are companies that the portfolio managers expect to have above-average growth rates. Currently, the Fund intends, under normal
circumstances, to focus primarily on companies that are similar in size to companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund invests
primarily in U.S. companies but may also purchase securities of issuers in any country, including developed countries and emerging markets.
The Fund has no limits on the amount of its assets that can be invested in foreign securities. Foreign securities are those of issuers
that are organized under the laws of a foreign country or that have a substantial portion of their operations or assets in a foreign country
or countries, or that derive a substantial portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales outside of the United
States.
While
the Fund mainly invests in common stock, it may also invest in other
equity securities, such as preferred stock, rights, warrants and securities convertible into common stock. The portfolio managers look
for growth companies that the portfolio managers expect to have above-average growth rates. In seeking to invest across a variety of industries
and market sectors, the portfolio managers focus on a number of factors that may vary in particular cases and over time. Currently, the
portfolio managers look for:
◾
companies
in business areas that have above-average growth potential
◾
companies
with growth rates that the portfolio managers believe are sustainable over time
◾
stocks
with reasonable valuations relative to their growth potential.
The
Fund is non-diversified, which means it can invest a greater percentage
of its assets in a small group of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
The
Fund may sell the stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe
no longer meet the above criteria, but is not required to do so.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or
section
of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market
conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes
in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse
investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual
issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition,
natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism or other
events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy
generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy.
During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can
be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may
4 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
have unexpected
negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move
in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks
may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It
may
take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all. The
relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the Fund is not required to sell the securities
of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and
other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may
be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Rights and warrants may be purchased directly
or acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period
of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to, and is generally more volatile than, the price of the underlying
security. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early,
resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly
by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the
underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions,
government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries
and there is increased risk that the Fund
5 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
will
lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. Information about the Fund’s investment
in a market sector or group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form
N-PORT filed with the SEC.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing
and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information
about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies.
The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank,
depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country
or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to
time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater
risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities
risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such
foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange
rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance,
currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence
of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating
in emerging markets may have greater concentration in a few industries resulting in greater vulnerability to regional and global trade
conditions and also may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Unexpected
market closures may also affect investments in emerging markets. Settlement procedures may differ from those of more established securities
markets, and settlement delays may result in the inability to invest assets or dispose of portfolio securities in a timely manner. As
a result there could be subsequent declines in value of the portfolio security, a decrease in the level of liquidity of the portfolio,
or, if there is a contract to sell the security, a possible liability to the purchaser.
Such
countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries
or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Emerging market countries may also have higher rates of inflation
and more rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates and greater sensitivity to interest rate changes. Further, companies in emerging
market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping
standards than companies in more developed countries and, as a result, the nature and quality of such information may vary. Information
about such companies may be less available and reliable and, therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in emerging markets
may be limited which can
impede
the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. In addition, certain emerging market countries have material limitations on Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities, which hinder the ability
to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating in certain emerging markets; therefore, there
is no guarantee that the quality of financial reporting or the audits conducted by audit firms of emerging market issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Securities
law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled.
Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder
rights may change quickly and unpredictably. Emerging market countries also may have less developed legal systems allowing for enforcement
of private property rights and/or redress for injuries to private property (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation,
nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking). Certain governments may require approval for the repatriation
of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. The ability to bring and enforce actions in
emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may
be difficult or impossible to pursue. In addition, the taxation systems at the federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries
may be less transparent and inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change.
Emerging
market countries may have a higher degree of corruption and fraud
than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources. The governments in some emerging market countries have been engaged in programs to sell all or part of their interests
in government-owned or controlled enterprises. However, in certain emerging market countries, the ability of foreign entities to participate
in privatization programs may be limited by local law. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be successful.
Other
risks of investing in emerging market securities may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Non-Diversification
Risk . The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it can invest
a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified
fund can. Because a large percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers, a change in the value
of one or a few issuers’ securities will affect the value of the Fund more than would occur in a diversified fund.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
6 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other
investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance
of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser,
as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments
to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers)
without shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing
such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory
fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory
agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.58% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the
administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio
Managers
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾
Ronald
J. Zibelli, Jr., CFA (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with
Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2019. From 2006 to 2019, Mr. Zibelli was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management
firm.
◾
Ash
Shah, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2019. From 2006 to 2019, Mr. Shah was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all
aspects of the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction
techniques, portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which
a lead or co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers'
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments,
the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
7 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
The
financial highlights information presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized
into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s
financial history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the Fund or
predecessor fund or class of Fund or predecessor fund shares. The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s
and the predecessor fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information
for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available
upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor.

8 Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.

Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”

For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow
are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below and to Invesco funds that offer the share class(es)
to which the arrangements relate. Please contact your financial intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information
with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, and
share class eligibility requirements and other special arrangements. Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts,
investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility
requirements
and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums,
minimum account balances and other special arrangements and that you are placed in the proper share class for which you are eligible through
your financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s
financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or
discounts or other financial intermediary-specific arrangements as disclosed herein. Please contact your financial intermediary for more
information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, share class eligibility requirements

Edward
D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:

Invesco
Distributors or its designee has the discretion to accept orders on behalf of clients for lesser amounts.
The
minimum investments for Class R5 and R6 shares are as follows:
There
is no minimum initial investment for an Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plan investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts where the intermediary:
◾
generally
charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus; and
◾
maintains
Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
A
financial intermediary may impose different investment minimums than
those set forth above. The Fund is not responsible for any investment minimums imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders
of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific
Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific investment minimums. Please consult with your financial intermediary
if you have any questions regarding their policies.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your
broker or financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling
redemption transactions.
|
Through
a Financial
Adviser
or Financial
Intermediary*
|
Contact
your financial adviser or financial intermediary. The Funds’
transfer
agent must receive your financial adviser’s or financial
intermediary’s
call before the Funds’ net asset value determination
(as
defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption
at
that day’s net asset value. Please contact your financial adviser or
financial
intermediary with respect to reporting of cost basis and
available
elections for your account. |
|
Send
a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent which includes: |
|
▪ Original
signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
▪ The
dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
▪ The
name of the Fund(s) and your account number;
▪ The
cost basis method or specific shares you wish to redeem for
tax
reporting purposes, if different than the method already on
record;
and |
|
▪ Signature
guarantees, if necessary (see below).
The
Funds’ transfer agent may require that you provide additional
documentation,
or information, such as corporate resolutions or
powers
of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from a
Retirement
and Benefit Plan, you must complete the appropriate
distribution
form. |
|
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be
allowed
to redeem by telephone if:
▪ Your
redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on
record
(and there has been no change in your address of record
within
the last 15 days) or transferred electronically to a
pre-authorized
checking account;
▪ You
can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ You
have not previously declined the telephone redemption
privilege.
|
|
You
may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an
Invesco
IRA by telephone. Redemptions from Employer Sponsored
Retirement
and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be
initiated
only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate
distribution
form, as well as employer authorization. You must call the
Funds’
transfer agent before the Funds’ net asset value
determination
(as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect
the
redemption at that day’s net asset value. |
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent’s 24-hour Automated Investor Line at

▪ You
have already provided proper bank information.
Redemptions
from Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans
and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be initiated only in writing
and
require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as
well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the
Adviser) has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and certain items discussed
in the SAI) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.75%, 1.50%, 1.00%, 0.50%, 0.50% and 0.50%, respectively,
of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it
will terminate on December
31, 2023. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits without
approval of the Board of Trustees.
Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee
Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 321%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income
securities and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The
Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities generally
represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the benchmark index). The principal types of fixed-income securities in which
the Fund invests are corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency securities, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may
invest up to 20% of its net assets in debt securities rated below investment grade. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred
to as junk bonds.
The
Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in foreign debt securities,
including debt securities of issuers located in emerging market
countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of
their industrial cycles. The Fund may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets in currencies and securities, including foreign
currency derivatives, denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The
Fund may purchase mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such
as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded securities. The Fund may also
invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
The
Fund may purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may
also include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and pay-in-kind securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, which means that the Fund buys or sells a security
1 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
with payment
and delivery taking place in the future. The Fund may also engage in “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are transactions
in which a fund buys or sells mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. The Fund may engage in short sales of TBA mortgages,
including short sales of TBA mortgages the Fund does not own.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including swap contracts, options,
futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.
The
Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge
or adjust its exposure to interest rates. The Fund can also use swap contracts, including credit default swaps, to create long or short
exposure to corporate or sovereign debt securities. The Fund can further use swap contracts, including: credit default index swaps, to
hedge credit risk or take a position on a basket of credit entities; total return swaps, to gain exposure to a reference asset; and volatility
swaps to adjust the volatility profile of the Fund.
The
Fund can use options, including currency options, to seek alpha (return
on investments in excess of the benchmark index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies
in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund can also use credit default swap options to gain the right to enter into a credit
default swap at a specified future date. The Fund can further use swaptions (options on swaps) to manage interest rate risk; and options
on bond or rate futures to manage interest rate exposure.
The
Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures, to increase
or reduce its exposure to interest rate changes. The Fund can also use currency futures to increase or decrease its exposure to foreign
currencies.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
(i.e., for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign
currency contracts to gain or mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure.
The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in equity interests and/or
debt obligations issued by Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
The
Fund utilizes active duration (i.e., making investments to reduce or increase
the sensitivity of the Fund’s portfolio to interest rate changes) and yield curve positioning (i.e., making investments that allow
the Fund to benefit from varying interest rates) for risk management and for generating alpha (return on investments in excess of the
benchmark index). Duration is a measure of volatility expressed in years and represents the anticipated percent change in a bond’s
price at a single point in time for a 1% change in yield. As duration increases, volatility increases as applicable interest rates change.
The
portfolio managers utilize the benchmark index as a reference in structuring
the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to
the benchmark index. The portfolio managers then determine appropriate position sizes to reflect desired risk positioning. In doing so,
the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund
to generate alpha.
The
portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists
for trade execution and for assistance in determining efficient ways (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement
those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility
for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes.
Specialists
employ a bottom-up approach to recommend larger or smaller exposure
to specific risk factors. In general, specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the
Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers consider the recommendations of these market-specific specialists in adjusting
the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology.
Decisions
to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value
considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations
and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro
risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to
a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The credit research
process utilized by the Fund to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective considers factors that may include,
but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations.
Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity
to an issuer. The
Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers or types of investments held by the Fund. In addition,
not all issuers or investments in the Fund may undergo a credit quality analysis that considers ESG factors, and not all investments held
by the Fund will rate strongly on ESG criteria.
The
Fund will attempt to maintain (i) a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity
of between three and 10 years; and (ii) a duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of within +/- two
years of the benchmark index. The foregoing maturity and duration targets are not guaranteed and the Adviser may deviate from such targets
in its discretion.
In
attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription
and redemption requests, the Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes
in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security
may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in
buying a
2 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
debt security
at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies
and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial
support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Mortgage-
and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities,
including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the
risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans.
This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund's income. Mortgage-
and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce
the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly
high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could
result in losses to the Fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types
of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires. During periods of market stress or
high redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell these securities at significantly reduced prices, resulting in losses. Liquid privately-issued
mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. Privately-issued mortgage-related
securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity guarantees and,
therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately-issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk, liquidity
risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. The
Fund may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or
with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Liquidity risk is even greater for mortgage pools that include
subprime mortgages.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible
to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities
tend to be very volatile.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. Regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify alternative
reference
rates
(“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with the transition, on March
5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator
that oversees LIBOR, announced
that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Consequently,
the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021,
but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly
transition away from these rates. Additionally,
key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease
entering into new contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings
after December 31,
2021,
subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition
and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example, there can be no assurance that the composition
or characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the
same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators
have generally prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue
to exist, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered
into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments
when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held
by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Foreign
Government Debt Risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities
(sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt
securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling
to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event
of a default against the defaulting government. Without the approval of debt holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been
able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and
more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets
may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Such countries’
economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly
3 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
vulnerable
to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure,
financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information,
including financial information, about such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to
evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly
and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization
of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country,
protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be
limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging market
countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays
in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Collateralized
Loan Obligations Risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial
losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may
also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion
to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers
or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorb losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are
subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid
during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become
illiquid,
the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The market for
Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded
securities. Rule 144A and other exempt securities, which are also known as privately issued securities, carry the risk that their liquidity
may become impaired and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities
may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There
can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher
for restricted securities and such securities may be difficult to value and may have significant volatility.
Municipal
Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends
on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest
payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal
securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates,
and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than
other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit
risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
When-Issued,
Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Risks.
When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund
to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available
when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction.
These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to
pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
TBA
Transactions Risk. TBA transactions involve the risk of loss if
the securities received are less favorable than what was anticipated by the Fund when entering into the TBA transaction, or if the counterparty
fails to deliver the securities. When the Fund enters into a short sale of a TBA mortgage it does not own, the Fund may have to purchase
deliverable mortgages to settle the short sale at a higher price than anticipated, thereby causing a loss. As there is no limit on how
much the price of mortgage securities can increase, the Fund’s exposure is unlimited. The Fund may not always be able to purchase
mortgage securities to close out the short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. In addition, taking short positions
results in a form of leverage, which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Fund's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment,
and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The incorporation of ESG factors as part of a credit analysis
may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not
4 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
work as
intended. Information used to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers
and issuers. There is no guarantee that the incorporation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than larger
companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real
estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate;
and economic or regulatory changes.
Active
Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result
in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence
and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s
operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes
in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a
broad-based/style-specific securities market benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies
similar to those of the Fund (in that order).
The
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.

Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement,
such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement
account may be taxed when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective
may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to such securities.
The
Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities generally
represented by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the benchmark index). The principal types of fixed-income securities in which
the Fund invests are corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency securities, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may
invest up to 20% of its net assets in debt securities rated below investment grade. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred
to as junk bonds. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
(S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined
by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase.
The
Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in foreign debt securities,
including debt securities of issuers located in emerging market
countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of
their industrial cycles. The Fund may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets in currencies and securities, including foreign
currency derivatives, denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
The
Fund may purchase mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such
as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), collateralized loan
obligations
(CLOs) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded securities. The Fund may also
invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
The
Fund may purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may
also include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and pay-in-kind securities. Zero coupon
securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date
when the securities begin paying current interest. Pay-in-kind securities are debt securities that pay interest through the issuance of
additional securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, which means that the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation
and the interest rate are fixed at the time the Fund enters into the commitment. No income accrues on such securities until the date the
Fund actually takes delivery of the securities. The Fund may also engage in “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are
transactions in which a fund buys or sells mortgage-backed securities on a forward commitment basis. A TBA transaction typically does
not designate the actual security to be delivered and only includes an approximate principal amount at the time the Fund enters into the
TBA transaction. The Fund may also engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales of TBA mortgages the Fund does not own.
Generally, the Fund will sell a TBA mortgage short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in mortgage valuations or (2) to hedge
against the potential underperformance of the mortgage sector.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including swap contracts, options,
futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.
A
swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which
the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference
to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The notional amount of a swap is based on
the nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is
not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments
between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge or adjust its exposure
to interest rates. The Fund can also use swap contracts, including credit default swaps, to create long or short exposure to corporate
or sovereign debt securities. The Fund can further use swap contracts, including: credit default index swaps, to hedge credit risk or
take a position on a basket of credit entities; total return swaps, to gain exposure to a reference asset; and volatility swaps to adjust
the volatility profile of the Fund.
An
option is a derivative financial instrument that reflects a contract between
two parties for a future transaction on an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation,
to engage in that transaction, while the seller incurs the corresponding obligation to fulfill the transaction. The price of an option
derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset (commonly a stock, a bond, a currency or
a futures contract) plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. Other types of options exist, and options
can in principle be created for any type of valuable asset. The Fund can use options, including currency options, to seek alpha (return
on investments in excess of the benchmark index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies
in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund can also use credit default swap options to gain the right to enter into a credit
default swap at a specified future date. The Fund can further use swaptions (options on swaps) to manage interest rate risk; and options
on bond or rate futures to manage interest rate exposure.
6 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures, to increase or reduce
its exposure to interest rate changes. The Fund can also use currency futures to increase or decrease its exposure to foreign currencies.
Currency futures contracts are traded on exchanges and have standard contract sizes and delivery dates. Most currency futures contracts
call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
(i.e., for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign
currency contracts to gain or mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure. Spot contracts allow for prompt delivery and settlement
at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties
to exchange a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. Forward foreign currency contracts are used
to protect against uncertainty in the level of future currency exchange rates or to gain or modify exposure to a particular currency.
The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in equity interests and/or
debt obligations issued by REITs.
The
Fund utilizes active duration (i.e., making investments to reduce or increase
the sensitivity of the Fund’s portfolio to interest rate changes) and yield curve positioning (i.e., making investments that allow
the Fund to benefit from varying interest rates) for risk management and for generating alpha (return on investments in excess of the
benchmark index). Duration is a measure of volatility expressed in years and represents the anticipated percent change in a bond’s
price at a single point in time for a 1% change in yield. As duration increases, volatility increases as applicable interest rates change.
The
portfolio managers utilize the benchmark index as a reference in structuring
the portfolio. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to
the benchmark index. The portfolio managers then determine appropriate position sizes to reflect desired risk positioning. In doing so,
the portfolio managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of specialist decision makers in positioning the Fund
to generate alpha.
The
portfolio managers generally rely upon a team of market-specific specialists
for trade execution and for assistance in determining efficient ways (in terms of cost-efficiency and security selection) to implement
those recommendations. Although a variety of specialists provide input in the management of the Fund, the portfolio managers retain responsibility
for ensuring the Fund is positioned appropriately in terms of risk exposures and position sizes.
Specialists
employ a bottom-up approach to recommend larger or smaller exposure
to specific risk factors. In general, specialists will look for attractive risk-reward opportunities and securities that best enable the
Fund to pursue those opportunities. The portfolio managers consider the recommendations of these market-specific specialists in adjusting
the Fund’s risk exposures and security selection on a real-time basis using proprietary communication technology.
Decisions
to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value
considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations
and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro
risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a
need
to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general
liquidity needs of the Fund. The credit research process utilized by the Fund to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment
objective considers factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and ESG considerations.
Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity
to an issuer. The Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers or types of investments held by the
Fund. In addition, not all issuers or investments in the Fund may undergo a credit quality analysis that considers ESG factors, and not
all investments held by the Fund will rate strongly on ESG criteria.
The
Fund will attempt to maintain (i) a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity
of between three and 10 years; and (ii) a duration (the Fund’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates) of within +/- two
years of the benchmark index. The foregoing maturity and duration targets are not guaranteed and the Adviser may deviate from such targets
in its discretion.
In
attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription
and redemption requests, the Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe
7 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
negative
effects on regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty.
The negative impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take
additional countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial
markets. The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in
a negative impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund
may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest
or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s
perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s
credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to
sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal
funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes
to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income
markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities.
It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in
central bank policies
could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders,
which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies
and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be
given
that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Mortgage-
and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities,
including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, differ from conventional debt securities because principal
is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or
call risk, which is the risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates
on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments
at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund's income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk.
An unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments and extend the life of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities,
causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall and would make the mortgage- and
asset-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage
pool will adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and will result in losses to the Fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed
securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities
at the time or price it desires. During periods of market stress or high redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell these securities
at significantly reduced prices, resulting in losses. Liquid privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities can
become illiquid during periods of market stress. Privately-issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting
requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have government or government-sponsored
entity guarantees. As a result, the mortgage loans underlying privately-issued mortgage-related securities may, and frequently do, have
less favorable collateral, credit risk, liquidity risk or other underwriting characteristics than government or government-sponsored mortgage-related
securities and have wider variances in a number of terms including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics. The
Fund may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages, which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or
with lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Liquidity risk is even greater for mortgage pools that include
subprime mortgages.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. In the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the integrity of LIBOR was increasingly questioned because several banks contributing
to its calculation were accused of rate manipulation and because of a general contraction in the unsecured interbank lending market. As
a result, regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify
alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with
the transition, on March 5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA),
8 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
the
regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative
on January 1, 2022. Consequently, the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR
rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly transition away from these rates. Additionally, key regulators
have instructed banking institutions to cease entering into new contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021,
subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR
transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example,
there can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics
of any ARRs or financial instruments
in
which the Fund
invests that
utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic
equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators have generally
prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist,
there remains
uncertainty and risks relating to certain
“legacy”
USD LIBOR
instruments that were issued or entered into before December
31,
2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will
be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR
is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to
the Fund.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing
and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information
about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies.
The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank,
depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country
or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to
time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater
risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities
risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such
foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange
rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance,
currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Foreign
Government Debt Risk. Investments in foreign government debt securities
(sometimes referred to as sovereign debt securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign securities or debt
securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling
to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such debt, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event
of a default against the
defaulting
government. A foreign government debtor’s willingness or ability to repay principal and pay interest in a timely manner may be affected
by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign
exchange, the relative size of the debt burden, the foreign government debtor’s policy toward its principal international lenders
and local political constraints. Certain issuers of foreign government debt may be dependent on disbursements from foreign governments,
multinational agencies and other entities to reduce principal and interest arrearages on their debt. Without the approval of debt holders,
some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence
of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating
in emerging markets may have greater concentration in a few industries resulting in greater vulnerability to regional and global trade
conditions and also may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Unexpected
market closures may also affect investments in emerging markets. Settlement procedures may differ from those of more established securities
markets, and settlement delays may result in the inability to invest assets or dispose of portfolio securities in a timely manner. As
a result there could be subsequent declines in value of the portfolio security, a decrease in the level of liquidity of the portfolio,
or, if there is a contract to sell the security, a possible liability to the purchaser.
Such
countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries
or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Emerging market countries may also have higher rates of inflation
and more rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates and greater sensitivity to interest rate changes. Further, companies in emerging
market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping
standards than companies in more developed countries and, as a result, the nature and quality of such information may vary. Information
about such companies may be less available and reliable and, therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in emerging markets
may be limited which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. In addition, certain emerging market countries have
material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which hinder the ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating in certain emerging
markets; therefore, there is no guarantee that the quality of financial reporting or the audits conducted by audit firms of emerging market
issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Securities
law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled.
Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder
rights may change quickly and unpredictably. Emerging market countries also may have less developed legal systems allowing for enforcement
of private property rights and/or redress for injuries to private property (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation,
nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking). Certain governments may require approval for the repatriation
of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. The ability to bring and enforce actions in
emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may
be difficult or impossible to pursue. In addition, the taxation systems at the federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries
may be less transparent and inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change.
9 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
Emerging
market countries may have a higher degree of corruption and fraud
than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources. The governments in some emerging market countries have been engaged in programs to sell all or part of their interests
in government-owned or controlled enterprises. However, in certain emerging market countries, the ability of foreign entities to participate
in privatization programs may be limited by local law. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be successful.
Other
risks of investing in emerging market securities may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Collateralized
Loan Obligations Risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial
losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may
also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion
to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers
or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorb losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are
subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative
instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts Risk. Forward foreign currency contracts
are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency or protect against possible losses from changes
in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency. They are subject to the risk that anticipated currency movements
will not be accurately predicted or do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the fund's holdings, which could result in
losses and additional transaction costs. The use of forward contracts could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency
prices. A contract to sell a foreign currency would limit any potential gain that might be realized if the value of the currency increases.
A forward foreign currency contract may also result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Options
Risk. If the Fund sells a put option, there is a risk that the
Fund may be required to buy the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option, there is a risk that
the Fund may be required to sell the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option on an investment
that the Fund owns (a “covered call”) and the investment has increased in value when the option is exercised, the Fund will
be required to sell the investment at the call price and will not be able to realize any of the investment’s value above the call
price. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater price volatility than other investments.
◾
Swap
Transactions Risk. Under U.S. financial reform legislation enacted
in 2010, certain types of swaps are required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central clearing house counterparty,
which may entail further risks and costs for the Fund. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may
be entered into as a bilateral contract or may be centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the
swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing to a central clearing house counterparty, and the Fund faces the central
clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures commission merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in
10 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may
limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which could make the
investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies may not
always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular
market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of the instrument
being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There is also the
risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all.
The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies,
or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value
if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or
group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the
SEC.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to
a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise
restricted from trading. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s
securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly
reduced prices.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The Fund may
invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities are also known as privately issued securities, and typically may be resold
only to qualified institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited
quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Although
such securities may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, if there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular
time, the Fund may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable time or price. As a result, the Fund’s investment in such
securities may be subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A securities may require their qualified institutional
buyers (such as the Fund) to keep certain offering information confidential, which could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to sell
such securities.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities
may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There
can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher
for restricted securities. Also, restricted securities may be difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available,
and the securities may have significant volatility. In addition, the Fund may get only limited
information
about the issuer of a restricted security and therefore may be less able to predict a loss.
Municipal
Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends
on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest
payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades
or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not
backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular project or entity for which the bonds
were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal
securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind
securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably
rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive
to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying
securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities
at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest
prior to maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise.
The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with
such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential
variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments
and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities,
such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
When-Issued,
Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Risks.
When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market
risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on securities
when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may
be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may result in the Fund missing the opportunity
of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund
commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s
overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase
prior to the time delivery of the securities is made.
TBA
Transactions Risk. TBA transactions involve the risk that the securities
received may be less favorable than what was anticipated by the Fund when entering into the TBA transaction. TBA transactions also involve
the risk that the counterparty will fail to deliver the securities, exposing the Fund to further losses. Whether or not the Fund takes
delivery of the securities at the termination date of a TBA transaction, the Fund will nonetheless be exposed to changes in the value
of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement. If the Fund sells short TBA mortgages that it does not own and the mortgages
increase in value, the Fund may be required to pay a higher price than anticipated to purchase the
11 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
deliverable
mortgages to settle the short sale and thereby incur a loss. A short position in TBA mortgages poses more risk than holding the same TBA
mortgages long. It is possible that the market value of the mortgage securities the Fund holds in long positions will decline at the same
time that the market value of the mortgage securities the Fund has sold short increases, thereby magnifying any losses. The more the Fund
pays to purchase the mortgage securities sold short, the more it will lose on the transaction, which adversely affects its share price.
The loss on a long position is limited to what the Fund originally paid for the TBA mortgage, together with any transaction costs. In
short transactions, there is no limit on how much the price of a security can increase, thus the Fund’s exposure is theoretically
unlimited. The Fund normally closes a short sale of TBA mortgages that it does not own by purchasing mortgage securities on the open market
and delivering them to the broker. The Fund may not always be able to complete or “close out” the short position by purchasing
mortgage securities at a particular time or at an acceptable price. The Fund incurs a loss if the Fund is required to buy the deliverable
mortgage securities at a time when they have appreciated in value from the date of the short sale. The Fund will incur increased transaction
costs associated with selling TBA mortgages short. In addition, taking short positions results in a form of leverage. As a result, changes
in the value of a Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Fund's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
may vary, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated
for ESG considerations. The incorporation of ESG factors as part of a credit analysis may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain
issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Fund may underperform other funds that do not incorporate ESG factors or that
use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. Information used to evaluate such factors may not be readily available,
complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic, which could negatively
impact the ability to accurately assess credit quality, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee
that the incorporation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small- and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile
and less liquid than larger companies. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management,
the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate
insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund,
the Fund may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and
selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
Active
Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result
in high brokerage costs, which may lower the Fund’s actual return. Active trading also may increase the proportion of the Fund’s
gains that are short term, which are taxed at a higher rate than long term gains.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad, changes to the monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or other
regulatory actions, the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan or other
legislation aimed at addressing financial or economic conditions, the threat of a federal government shutdown, and threats not to increase
or suspend the federal
government’s
debt limit, may affect investor and consumer confidence, increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant
degree, result in higher interest rates, and even raise concerns about the U.S. government’s credit rating and ability to service
its debt. Such changes and events may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E. Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund's SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets.
The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or
this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.36% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of
12 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
the Fund is available
in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.
Portfolio

Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

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

15 Invesco
Core Plus Bond Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A

The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers

not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):

◾

at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾

current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.

Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.

shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;

purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and

Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
◾

◾
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)

to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The

Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the Fund or the transfer agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily
redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem their shares.

Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 84%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio managers believe have favorable growth prospects. The Fund emphasizes
stocks of small-capitalization (or “small-cap”) companies.
The Fund considers a small-capitalization company to be one that
has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of market capitalizations of the Russell 2000 Growth Index
during the
most recent
11-month period
(based on month-end data)
plus the most recent data during the current month.
A company’s “market capitalization”
is the value of its outstanding common stock.
The
portfolio managers look for companies with high growth potential. This
approach includes fundamental analyses of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s
operations and product development, as well as its position in its industry. The portfolio managers also evaluate research on particular
industries, market trends and general economic conditions.
The
portfolio managers currently seek companies with proven management
records that are able to handle rapid growth, companies with innovative products or services, and companies that have above average growth
profiles and have what the portfolio managers believe are sustainable growth rates. These criteria can vary.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all.
Growth
Investing Risk. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price
fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline
sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than
larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or
investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor
during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are
unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than
other securities because of investor speculation.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the
attractiveness,
relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience
losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management
of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Discovery Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the
Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization,
the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year
to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad
measure of market performance and additional indices with characteristics relevant to the Fund.
The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares
of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund after
the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different
from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance for Class A shares has been restated to reflect
the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Updated
performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.
Annual
Total Returns
The
bar chart does not reflect sales loads. If it did, the annual total returns shown would be lower.

Performance shown prior to the inception
date is that of the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable
to that class. Although invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R5 shares' returns of the Fund will be different from Class
A shares' returns of the Fund and the predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
After-tax
returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state

billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit
Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that
the portfolio managers believe have favorable growth prospects. The Fund emphasizes stocks of small-capitalization (or “small-cap”)
companies. The
Fund considers a small-capitalization company to be one that has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of
market capitalizations of the Russell 2000 Growth Index
during the
most recent
11-month period
(based on month-end data)
plus the most recent data during the current month.
A company’s “market capitalization”
is
the value of its outstanding common stock.
The
portfolio managers look for companies with high growth potential. This
approach includes fundamental analyses of a company’s financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s
operations and product development, as well as its position in its industry. The portfolio managers also evaluate research on particular
industries, market trends and general economic conditions.
The
portfolio managers currently seek companies with proven management
records that are able to handle rapid growth, companies with innovative products or services, and companies that have above average growth
profiles and have what the portfolio managers believe are sustainable growth rates. These criteria can vary.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different
investment
strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance
and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks
locally
or globally and cause general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics
or pandemics) at the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on
the Fund’s performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the
Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to
increase
as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth
companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks
may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions,
government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries
and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the SEC.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other
investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance
of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser,
as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice,
and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments
to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers)
without shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing
such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory
fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory
agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps
markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies
or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.59% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the
administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio
Managers
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾
Ronald
J. Zibelli, Jr., CFA (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with
Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2019. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Mr. Zibelli managed the predecessor
fund since 2006 and was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm, since 2006.
◾
Ash
Shah, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2019. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Mr. Shah managed the predecessor fund since 2014 and was associated
with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm, since 2006.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all
aspects of the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases
and
sales of individual securities, portfolio construction techniques, portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in
accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which a lead or co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these
functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers'
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments,
the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
Limited
Fund Offering
The
Fund is closed to new investors. Investors should note that the Fund reserves the right to refuse any order that might disrupt the efficient
management of the Fund. Investors who were invested in the Fund on May 24, 2019, may continue to make additional purchases in their accounts.
Any Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or its affiliated plans may continue to make additional purchases of Fund shares and
may add new accounts at the plan level that may purchase Fund shares if the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or its affiliated
plan had invested in the Fund as of May 24, 2019. New Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans or its affiliated plans authorized
prior to May 24, 2019 had until December 31, 2019 to fund the account. Existing registered investment advisor (RIA) and bank trust firms
that have an investment allocation to the Fund in a fee-based, wrap or advisory account, can continue to add new clients, purchase shares,
and exchange into the Fund. The Fund will not be available to new RIA and bank trust firms. The Fund may also accept investments by 529
college savings plans managed by the Adviser during this limited offering. The Fund may resume sale of shares to new investors on a future
date if the Adviser determines it is appropriate. During this limited offering, the Fund reserves the right, in its
discretion,
to accept purchases: from certain investors which may include, among others, corporations, endowments, foundations and insurance companies;
from RIA or bank trust firms with eligible assets described above that launch a new offering platform or move assets from an existing
platform to a new platform, and in other limited circumstances after a determination by the Adviser that such action is not detrimental
to the Fund and its shareholders. The Fund reserves the right to change this policy at any time.
The
financial highlights information presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized
into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s
financial history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the Fund or
predecessor fund or class of Fund or predecessor fund shares. The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s
and the predecessor fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information
for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available
upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor.

Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial

◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or

and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
◾

load discounts available at Edward Jones: Breakpoints, Rights of Accumulation & Letters of Intent
◾
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾

Stifel,
Nicolaus & Company (“Stifel”)

purchasing Fund shares through a Stifel
platform or account will be eligible only for the following front-end sales charge waivers and discounts, which may differ from those
disclosed elsewhere in this Fund’s prospectus or SAI.
◾
Front-end
Sales Load Waivers on Class A Shares available at Stifel: Breakpoints, Rights of Accumulation & Letters of Intent
◾
Breakpoints
as described in this prospectus;
◾
Rights
of Accumulation (ROA) which entitle shareholders to breakpoint discounts as described in the Fund’s prospectus will be automatically
calculated based on the aggregated holding of fund family assets held by accounts within the purchaser’s household at Stifel. Eligible
fund family assets not held at Stifel may be included in the ROA calculation only if the shareholder notifies his or her financial advisor
about such assets; and
◾
Letters
of Intent (LOI) which allow for breakpoint discounts based on anticipated purchases within a fund family, through Stifel, over a 13-month
period of time (if applicable).
◾

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
◾
Class
A shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio

Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your

Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.

Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.

Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.

An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, all, or substantially all, of its net assets in common stocks represented in the S&P 500®
Equal Weight Index (the Underlying Index), and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such
securities. The Underlying Index is an equal-weighted version of the S&P 500®
Index, which measures the performance of equity securities of larger U.S. companies.
“Equal weighting”
means that, unlike the S&P 500®
Index, which employs a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted methodology, the Underlying Index assigns each component security
the same weight.
In
seeking to track the investment results
(before fees and expenses) of the Underlying Index, the portfolio managers primarily utilize a “full replication” methodology,
pursuant to which the Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings
in the Underlying Index.
The
Underlying Index is typically rebalanced quarterly and constituent changes
are incorporated in the Underlying Index as and when they are made to the S&P 500®
Index. The Fund is generally rebalanced in accordance with the Underlying Index. Constituent changes are generally incorporated in the
Fund as and when they are made to the Underlying Index.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
The
Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to seek exposure
to certain equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in
1 Invesco
Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize
an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security
unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.
Additionally, the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the
Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Non-Correlation
Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying
Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs
in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing and reconstituting the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes
in the composition of the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation
differences
and differences
between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes
in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that
of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment
objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund (in that order). The
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million
in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial
adviser
to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s
website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective
may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, all, or substantially all, of
its net assets in common stocks represented in the Underlying Index, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to such securities. The Underlying Index is an equal-weighted version of the S&P 500®
Index, which measures the performance of equity securities of larger U.S. companies.
“Equal weighting”
means that, unlike the S&P 500®
Index, which employs a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted methodology, the Underlying Index assigns each component security
the same weight.
In
seeking to track the investment results
(before fees and expenses) of
the Underlying Index, the portfolio managers primarily utilize a “full replication” methodology pursuant to which the Fund
generally invests in all of the securities comprising its Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as the weightings of
the securities in the Underlying Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of
those securities in those same weightings. In those circumstances, the portfolio managers may purchase a sample of securities in its Underlying
Index.
A
“sampling” methodology means that the portfolio managers use a quantitative
analysis to select securities from the Underlying Index universe to obtain a representative sample of securities that have, in the aggregate,
investment characteristics similar to the Underlying Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics.
These include industry weightings, market capitalization, return variability, earnings valuation, yield and other financial characteristics
of securities. When employing a sampling methodology, the portfolio managers base the quantity of holdings in the Fund on a number of
factors, including asset size of the Fund, and generally expects the Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the Underlying
Index. However, the portfolio managers reserve the right to invest the Fund in as many securities as they believe necessary to achieve
the Fund’s investment objective.
There
also may be instances in which the Adviser may choose to (i) overweight
or underweight a security in the Underlying Index, (ii) purchase securities not contained in the Underlying Index that the Adviser believes
are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Underlying Index, or (iii) utilize various combinations of other available
investment techniques in seeking to track the Underlying Index.
The
Fund may sell securities included in the Underlying Index in anticipation
of their removal from the Underlying Index, or purchase securities not included in the Underlying Index in anticipation of their addition
to the Underlying Index.
The
Underlying Index is typically rebalanced quarterly, generally after the close
of trading on the third Friday of March, June, September and December. The reference date of closing prices used for the reweighting is
the second Friday of the reweighting month. Constituent changes are incorporated in the Underlying Index as and when they are made to
the S&P 500®
Index. The Fund is generally rebalanced in accordance with the Underlying Index. Constituent changes are generally incorporated in the
Fund as and when they are made to the Underlying Index and components, shares outstanding and investable weightings factors are as of
the reweighting date.
3 Invesco
Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to seek exposure to certain
equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Because the Fund is passively managed, such circumstances may also impact the Fund to a greater
degree than mutual funds with investment advisers that actively manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of or defend against market
events. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there
can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.

including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and
the
value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic
regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many investment companies that are “actively
managed,” the Fund is a “passive” investor and therefore does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in
excess of the Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added to or removed
from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. If a specific security is removed from the
Underlying Index, the Fund may be forced to sell such security at an inopportune time or for a price lower than the security’s current
market value. The Underlying Index may not contain the appropriate mix of securities for any particular economic cycle. Additionally,
the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s
rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule. Further, unlike with an actively
managed fund, the Adviser does not use techniques or defensive strategies designed to lessen the impact of periods of market volatility
or market decline. This means that, based on certain market and economic conditions, the Fund’s performance could be lower than
other types of mutual funds with investment advisers that
4 Invesco
Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
actively
manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of or defend against market events.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often
impose
a maximum permissible price movement on each futures contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited
from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Non-Correlation
Risk. The Fund’s returns may not match the return of the
Underlying Index (that is, it may experience tracking error) for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses
not applicable to the Underlying Index and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s
securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index. To the extent that the Fund has recently commenced
operations and/or otherwise has a relatively small amount of assets, such transaction costs could have a proportionally greater impact
on the Fund. Additionally, if the Fund uses a sampling approach, it may result in returns for the Fund that are not as well-correlated
with the return of the Underlying Index as would be the case if the Fund purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the
proportions represented in the Underlying Index.
The
performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset
valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs
or liquidity constraints. The Fund’s transactions, which are principally in cash and therefore could be subject to incurring higher
costs in buying or selling securities, may also contribute to tracking error. The Fund may fair value certain of the securities it holds.
To the extent the Fund calculates its NAV based on fair value prices, the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely
affected. Since the Underlying Index is not subject to the tax diversification requirements to which the Fund must adhere, the Fund may
be required to deviate its investments from the securities contained in, and relative weightings of, the Underlying Index. The Fund may
not invest in certain securities included in the Underlying Index due to liquidity constraints. Liquidity constraints also may delay the
Fund’s purchase or sale of securities included in the Underlying Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities
to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Underlying Index.
The
Fund generally attempts to remain fully invested in the constituents of
the Underlying Index. However, the Adviser may not fully invest the Fund at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund, to
retain a reserve of cash to meet redemptions and expenses, or because of low assets (particularly when the Fund is new and has operated
only for a short period).
The
investment activities of one or more of the Adviser’s affiliates, including
other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd., for their proprietary accounts and for client accounts also may
adversely impact the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index. For example, in regulated industries, certain emerging or international
markets and under
5 Invesco
Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
corporate
and regulatory ownership definitions, there may be limits on the aggregate amount of investment by affiliated investors that may not be
exceeded, or that may not be exceeded without the grant of a license or other regulatory or corporate consent, or, if exceeded, may cause
the Adviser, the Fund or other client accounts to suffer disadvantages or business restrictions. As a result, the Fund may be restricted
in its ability to acquire particular securities due to positions held by the Fund and the Adviser’s affiliates.
Sampling
Risk. The use of a representative sampling approach may result
in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer
of securities that the Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities
in the Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater. In addition, by sampling the securities
in the Underlying Index, the Fund faces the risk that the securities selected for the Fund, in the aggregate, will not provide investment
performance matching that of the Underlying Index, thereby increasing tracking error.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco Capital Management LLC (Invesco Capital or the Sub-Adviser) serves as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser. Invesco Capital,
an affiliate of the Adviser, incorporated in 2003, is located at 3500 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515. Invesco Capital
is a registered investment adviser that serves as the investment adviser to the Invesco family of ETFs, with combined assets under management
of $170.5 billion as of October 31, 2022. Invesco Capital provides portfolio management services to the Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the
commodity
futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions,
or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after
fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
Invesco,
not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.

Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
6 Invesco
Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

8 Invesco
Equally-Weighted S&P 500 Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses

Choosing
a Share Class
Each

in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.

following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:

that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.

Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.

the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.

shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales

Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.

from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and

In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the Fund or the transfer agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily
redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem their shares.

is no minimum initial investment for an Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plan investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your

redemption transactions.

well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

or
R shares of any other Fund as long as you are otherwise eligible for such share class. If you
exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund.
The
table and Examples below do not reflect any transaction fees
that may be charged by financial intermediaries or commissions that a shareholder may be required to pay directly to its financial intermediary
when buying or selling Class Y or Class R6 shares.
You
may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000
in the Invesco Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and
in the section “Shareholder Account Information – Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” on page A-3 of the prospectus
and the section “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares – Purchase and Redemption of Shares” on page L-1 of the
statement of additional information (SAI).

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 152%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity and income
securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The
Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however,
a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its net assets
in income-producing equity investments, including dividend paying common or preferred stocks, interest paying convertible debentures or
bonds, or zero coupon convertible securities (on which the Fund accrues income for tax and accounting purposes, but receives no cash).
The
Fund may invest in income-producing equity instruments (subject to
the 65% policy above), debt securities and warrants or rights to acquire such securities, in such proportions as economic conditions indicate
would best accomplish the Fund’s objectives. It is the current operating policy of the Fund to invest in debt securities rated investment
grade. This operating policy does not apply to convertible securities, which are selected primarily on the basis of their equity characteristics.
The
Fund also invests in U.S. Government obligations, including Treasury
bills and notes, and obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment
trusts (REITs).
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers,
which may include depositary receipts.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts, futures contracts and options.
The
Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse
movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The
Fund can use futures contracts to seek exposure to certain asset classes,
to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated and to manage duration.
The
Fund can use options to seek alpha (return on investments in excess
of the Russell 1000®
Value Index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
In
selecting securities, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) focuses
on a security’s potential for income with safety of principal and long-term growth of capital. The Adviser emphasizes a value style
of investing, which focuses on undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. The Adviser looks for catalysts for
change that may
1 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
positively
impact a company. This catalyst could come from within the company in the form of new management, operational enhancements, restructuring
or reorganization. It could also be an external factor, such as an improvement in industry conditions or a regulatory change. The aim
is to uncover these catalyst for change, and then benefit from potential stock price appreciation of the change taking place at the company.
The
Fund may dispose of a security when, in the opinion of the Adviser, the
security reaches the Adviser’s estimate of fair value or when the Adviser identifies a more attractive investment opportunity.
In
attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription
and redemption requests, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or
borrower
fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial
strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of
debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security
at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market values of convertible securities are
affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying
common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of
market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary
conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an
increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies
and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial
support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates,
and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than
other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit
risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Warrants may be significantly less valuable
or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early, resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are
similar to warrants, but
2 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
normally
have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive
no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more
susceptible to sharp declines in value than the underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and
it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal
funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes
to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income
markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities.
It is difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same
risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation
to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of
such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign
issuer.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than larger
companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real
estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate;
and economic or regulatory changes.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency,
commodity,
interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets,
the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty
risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise
perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic
exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result
in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the
underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also
be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable
time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its
derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could
impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example,
derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly
during adverse market conditions.
Active
Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result
in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
Value Investing
Risk. Value investing entails the risk that if the market does
not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach
could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause a fund to underperform funds
that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when
value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of “value” companies may underperform the securities
of “growth” companies or the overall stock market.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes
in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that
of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment
objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund (in that order).
The
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

With
respect to Class R5 and Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial
investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5
billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of
at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may
be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity and income
4 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
securities,
and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The
Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however,
a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a large-capitalization issuer if it has a
market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized companies included in the Russell
1000®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end
data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 65% of its net assets
in income-producing equity investments. Income-producing equity investments are dividend paying common or preferred stocks, interest paying
convertible debentures or bonds, or zero coupon convertible securities (on which the Fund accrues income for tax and accounting purposes,
but receives no cash).
The
Fund may invest in income-producing equity instruments (subject to
the 65% policy above), debt securities and warrants or rights to acquire such securities, in such proportions as economic conditions indicate
would best accomplish the Fund’s objectives. It is the current operating policy of the Fund to invest in debt securities rated investment
grade. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO),
(ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality,
each at the time of purchase. This operating policy does not apply to convertible securities which are selected primarily on the basis
of their equity characteristics.
The
Fund also invests in U.S. Government obligations, including Treasury
bills and notes, and obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in REITs. REITs pool investors’
funds for investment primarily in commercial real estate properties or real estate related loans. REITs generally derive their income
from rents on the underlying properties or interest on the underlying loans, and their value is impacted by changes in the value of the
underlying property or changes in interest rates affecting the underlying loans owned by the REITs.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers
or depositary receipts. A depositary receipt is generally issued by a bank or financial institution and represents an ownership interest
in the common stock or other equity securities of a foreign company.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts, futures contracts and options.
A
forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties to exchange
a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to
hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
of a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts to seek exposure to certain asset classes, to hedge
against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated and to manage the duration of the Fund.
An
option is a derivative financial instrument that reflects a contract between
two parties for a future transaction on an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation,
to engage in that transaction, while the seller incurs the corresponding obligation to fulfill the transaction. The price of an option
derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset (commonly a stock, a bond, a currency or
a futures contract) plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. Other types of options exist, and options
can in principle be created for any type of valuable asset. The Fund can use options to seek alpha (return on investments in excess of
the Russell 1000®
Value Index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
In
selecting securities, the Adviser focuses on a security’s potential for income
with safety of principal and long-term growth of capital. The Adviser emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued
companies with characteristics for improved valuations. The Adviser looks for catalysts for change that may positively impact
a company. This catalyst could come from within the company in the form of new management, operational enhancements, restructuring or
reorganization. It could also be an external factor, such as an improvement in industry conditions or a regulatory change. The aim is
to uncover these catalyst for change, and then benefit from potential stock price appreciation of the change taking place at the company.
The
Fund may dispose of a security when, in the opinion of the Adviser, the
security reaches the Adviser’s estimate of fair value or when the Adviser identifies a more attractive investment opportunity.
In
attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription
and redemption requests, the Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When
5 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
markets
perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest
or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s
perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s
credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to
sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and
other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may
be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies
and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial
support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
6 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind
securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably
rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive
to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying
securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities
at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest
prior to maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise.
The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with
such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential
variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments
and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities,
such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the
Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Rights and warrants may be purchased directly
or acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period
of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to, and is generally more volatile than, the price of the underlying
security. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early,
resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly
by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the
underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in
central bank policies
could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders,
which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing
and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information
about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies.
The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank,
depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country
or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to
time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater
risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities
risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such
foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange
rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance,
currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks
as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts,
particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the
holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. The Fund may therefore
receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions,
government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries
and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or
7 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
group
of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the SEC.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small- and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile
and less liquid than larger companies. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management,
the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate
insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund,
the Fund may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and
selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability
to meet redemption requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must
be used as margin. Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and
take or make delivery of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts Risk. Forward foreign currency
contracts are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency or protect against possible losses
from changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency. They are subject to the risk that anticipated
currency movements will not be accurately predicted or do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the fund's holdings, which
could result in losses and additional transaction costs. The use of forward contracts could reduce performance if there are unanticipated
changes in currency prices. A contract to sell a foreign currency would limit any potential gain that might be realized if the value of
the currency increases. A forward foreign currency contract may also result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Options
Risk. If the Fund sells a put option, there is a risk that the
Fund may be required to buy the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option, there is a risk that
the Fund may be required to sell the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option on an investment
that the Fund owns (a “covered call”) and the investment has increased in value when the option is exercised, the Fund will
be required to sell the investment at the call price and will not be able to realize any of the investment’s value above the call
price. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater price volatility than other investments.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
8 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
Active
Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result
in high brokerage costs, which may lower the Fund’s actual return. Active trading also may increase the proportion of the Fund’s
gains that are short term, which are taxed at a higher rate than long term gains.
Value
Investing Risk.
Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security
might not appreciate as anticipated. A value investing approach could also lead to acquiring fewer securities that might experience rapid
price increases during times of market advances. This could cause the investments to underperform strategies that seek capital appreciation
by employing only a growth or other non-value approach. Value investing has also gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and
is likely to continue to do so. During periods when value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of “value”
companies may underperform the securities of “growth” companies or the overall stock market.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the
commodity
futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions,
or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after
fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.

9 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

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

12 Invesco
Equity and Income Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow
are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below and to Invesco funds that offer the share class(es)
to which the arrangements relate. Please contact your financial intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information
with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, and
share class eligibility requirements and other special arrangements. Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts,
investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility
requirements
and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums,
minimum account balances and other special arrangements and that you are placed in the proper share class for which you are eligible through
your financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s
financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or
discounts or other financial intermediary-specific arrangements as disclosed herein. Please contact your financial intermediary for more
information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, share class eligibility requirements

◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established

on your account. You may
not
purchase shares in Retirement
and
Benefit Plans on the internet. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

or
R shares of any other Fund as long as you are otherwise eligible for such share class. If you
exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the
Adviser) has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the net management fee that
Invesco earns on the Fund’s investments in certain affiliated funds, which will have the effect of reducing the Acquired Fund Fees
and Expenses. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June
30, 2024. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to reduce the advisory fee waiver
without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee
Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 43%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in senior secured
floating rate loans made by banks and other lending institutions, senior secured floating rate debt instruments, and derivatives and other
instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund’s portfolio managers select the Fund’s
portfolio investments by actively employing environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the investment selection process described
below, except as otherwise indicated.
Floating
rate loans (also known as bank loans) are made to or issued by companies
(borrowers), which may include U.S. and non-U.S. companies, and bear interest at a floating rate that resets periodically based on a benchmark
that reflects current interest rates. Secured floating rate loans are often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions,
leveraged buyouts and refinancings. Floating rate loans are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts
as agent for the lenders in the lending group.
Floating
rate loans will generally be purchased from banks or other financial
institutions through assignments or participations. A direct interest in a floating rate loan may be acquired directly from the agent
or another lender by assignment or an indirect interest may be acquired as a participation in another lender’s portion of a floating
rate loan.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in floating rate loans and
floating rate debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade. Such floating rate debt securities are commonly referred
to as “junk bonds”. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P)
or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical
rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined
1 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
by Invesco
Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest in defaulted or
distressed loans and loans to bankrupt companies.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in floating rate loans and
floating rate debt securities of non-U.S. borrowers or issuers.
The
Fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are debt
instruments backed solely by a pool of other debt securities. CLOs where the CLO securities held by the Fund are in the senior classes
with a floating rate of return will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% investment policy described above and are subject to application
of the portfolio managers’ ESG criteria with respect to CLOs, as described below.
The
Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in certain other types of
debt obligations or securities and equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, and securities convertible
into common stock), both to increase yield and to manage cash flow. Other types of debt obligations and securities may include unsecured
loans, fixed rate high yield bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, and short-term government and commercial debt obligations. The Fund
may also invest in CLO securities that are in the subordinated debt tranches of a CLO. Up to 5% of the Fund’s net assets may be
invested in subordinated loans. Some of the floating rate loans and debt securities in which the Fund may invest will be considered to
be illiquid.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts, futures contracts and swap contracts. The Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis (i.e. for
prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign currency
contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund can use
currency futures to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge
or adjust its exposure to interest rates, and can use currency swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund can also use
swap contracts, including credit default swaps, and can invest in credit linked notes, to gain or reduce exposure to an asset class or
a particular issuer.
The
portfolio managers’ ESG criteria will apply to derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to senior secured floating rate loans made by banks and other lending institutions and senior
secured floating rate debt instruments as reflected in the Fund’s 80% investment policy. However, the Adviser’s ESG criteria
will not apply to the Fund’s investments in derivatives for currency hedging purposes.
The
Fund invests in loans and debt securities selected by the Fund’s portfolio
managers based on a fundamental bottom-up risk assessment of each issuer and issue, combined with a top-down macro and sector overlay.
The portfolio managers construct the Fund’s portfolio using a process that focuses on obtaining access to the widest possible range
of potential investments available in the market and ongoing credit analysis of issuers. The portfolio managers perform their own independent
credit analysis on each borrower and the collateral securing each loan, considering the nature of the industry in which the borrower operates,
the nature of the borrower’s assets and the general quality and creditworthiness of the borrower.
For
each investment opportunity, the portfolio managers undertake a comprehensive
due diligence review of the issuer, including in-depth meetings with the issuer’s management team, the financial sponsor (if applicable),
and the industry in which the issuer competes, as well as engages in discussions with third party industry experts to assess credit risk
and gain a detailed understanding of the company and the industry. The portfolio managers’ due diligence looks at detailed cash
flow models, credit and relative value comparable company analyses, and structural terms of the loan. The portfolio managers also analyze
each company to determine its earnings potential and other factors indicating the sustainability of debt repayment. The analysis concludes
with an investment thesis and recommendation that includes an internal risk rating derived from the
portfolio
managers’ view of the issuer’s probability of default and estimated recovery ratings.
Additionally,
as part of the credit selection and portfolio construction process,
the Fund employs a proprietary framework for evaluating each issuer based on ESG criteria the portfolio managers have determined to be
important in the investment selection process. The Fund’s ESG methodology actively utilizes both proprietary ESG scoring and ESG
exclusionary screening to construct the Fund’s portfolio. The portfolio managers apply their ESG criteria in an effort to assess
an issuer’s impact of business operations on the environment, the social impact its business has on internal and external communities,
and the quality of its corporate governance principles.
Under
normal market conditions, the portfolio managers will employ the following
ESG methodology to assess investment opportunities for the Fund’s portfolio (except with respect to CLOs, which employ a different
ESG methodology described below): The portfolio managers first employ a proprietary ESG screen to exclude issuers from the investment
universe of securities in which the Fund may invest that do not meet its investment criteria. Such excluded issuers are those with substantial
involvement in the production of tobacco products, controversial weapons, engagement in cultivation, production or distribution of recreational
cannabis, extraction of thermal coal, and extraction of fossil fuels from unconventional sources. Issuers involved in the generation of
electricity above 30% from coal-fired plants are also excluded. Issuers will also be excluded based on their non-compliance with UN Global
Compact principles. The principles of the UN Global Compact represent a set of values that the UN believes responsible businesses should
incorporate into their operations in order to meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
To the extent an issuer’s status changes to meet the qualification for exclusion, the Fund shall take steps to divest its holdings
of the issuer within a reasonable period of time. Because the Fund's divestment of such investments may not be immediate, the Fund could
be invested in investments that do meet the qualification for exclusion. This screening criteria may be updated periodically.
Next,
based on research and due diligence reviews conducted with the management
teams of the eligible issuers, each investment opportunity is scored by the portfolio management team on a scale of 1-5 for risks related
to multiple ESG factors under each individual pillar of the ESG framework (1 indicates “no risk” and 5 indicates “high
risk”). The environmental pillar (“E”) factors include natural resources, pollution and waste, supply chain impact,
and environmental opportunities. The social pillar (“S”) factors include workforce, community, product responsibility, and
human rights. The governance pillar (“G”) factors include management, shareholders, board of directors, auditors, regulatory
issuers, corporate social responsibility strategy, anti-corruption, and business ethics. The foregoing factors in each ESG pillar may
be updated periodically.
Each
investment opportunity is assigned a weighted average score for each
ESG pillar. An overall aggregated, or composite, ESG score is also calculated, with pillars weighted differently depending on the industry.
The scores are determined at the time of purchase and reviewed at least annually. The Fund will not invest in loans or securities from
issuers that have a composite ESG rating or single category E, S, or G pillar rating above levels set within the internal ESG rating methodology,
and will seek to divest within a reasonable period of time from investments for which the aggregate ESG rating or single category E, S,
or G ratings rise above these limits, as determined by the portfolio managers’ internal rating methodology. Because the Fund's divestment
of such investments may not be immediate, the Fund could be invested in investments that do meet the qualification for exclusion. Under
normal circumstances, pursuant to its current internal limits, the Fund will only invest in loans from issuers with a single category
E, S or G pillar score of 4.25 and under and will also only invest in loans from issuers with a composite ESG score of 4.0 and under.
With
regard to the application of the Fund’s ESG methodology to CLOs, the
portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary approach in selecting CLOs
2 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
for investment.
The portfolio managers will assess via their due diligence process how a CLO manager incorporates ESG considerations into its asset selection
process. The portfolio managers examine and assess the following ESG considerations with respect to the CLO manager: the existence of
an ESG practice that definitively includes/excludes borrowers as eligible investments; the number of the CLO’s investments that
must be ESG-rated prior to becoming an eligible investment; the extent to which the ESG ratings process results in a quantitative evaluation;
the existence of an exclusionary/screening policy that prohibits investments in certain companies based on ESG considerations; the extent
to which formal control procedures are in place to ensure consistency and compliance with ESG policies; the frequency with which ESG ratings
are evaluated; and the extent to which the CLO manager is a signatory to UN-backed principles of responsible investment. Based on those
considerations, the portfolio managers assign quantitative factor ratings to each CLO manager in order to assess how that manager evaluates
the different E, S and G risks within their portfolio and determine a cumulative CLO manager ESG score. Only CLO managers whose ESG practices
meet the Fund’s internal ESG standards based on the above considerations and quantitative factor ratings will become an eligible
CLO manager. The CLO manager screen will be reviewed and updated at least annually.
Decisions
to purchase or sell loans and other investments are determined
by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply
and demand, market dislocations, situation-specific opportunities and application of the Fund’s ESG criteria. The purchase or sale
of loans and other investments may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure, a desire to limit or reduce
the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, the degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, an ESG screen or score,
or the general liquidity needs of the Fund.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Bank
Loan Risk. There are a number of risks associated with an investment
in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically associated
with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited public information regarding bank loans. Lack of an active trading
market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the
Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing
and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result,
the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of
holding
bank loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. The value of bank loans can be affected
by and sensitive to changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. These risks could cause
the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns.
Bank
loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest
rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes
in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security
may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in
buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible
to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities
tend to be very volatile.
Collateralized
Loan Obligations Risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial
losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may
also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion
to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers
or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorb losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are
subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
ESG
Risk. Because the Fund evaluates ESG factors to assess and exclude
certain investments for non-financial reasons, it may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these factors.
The securities of issuers that score favorably under the Fund’s ESG scoring methodology may underperform similar issuers that do
not score as well or may underperform the market as a whole. As a result, the Fund may underperform funds that do not screen or score
issuers based on ESG factors or funds that use a different ESG methodology. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may
not be readily available, complete or accurate, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to apply its methodology, which
in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Fund’s assessment of an issuer, based on the issuer’s
level of involvement in a particular industry or the issuer’s ESG score, may differ from that of other funds or an investor. As
a result, the issuers deemed eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio may not reflect the beliefs or values of any particular
investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is
3 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
intended
to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured basis. Regulators
and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify alternative reference
rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with the transition, on March
5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator
that oversees LIBOR, announced
that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Consequently,
the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021,
but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly
transition away from these rates. Additionally,
key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease
entering into new contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings
after December 31,
2021,
subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition
and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example, there can be no assurance that the composition
or characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the
same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators
have generally prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue
to exist, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered
into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments
when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held
by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Defaulted
Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that
principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities
may be subject to restrictions on resale.
This
risk also applies to investments in loans to bankrupt companies.
Subordinated
Debt Risk. Perpetual subordinated debt is a type of hybrid instrument
that has no maturity date for the return of principal and does not need to be redeemed by the issuer. These investments typically have
lower credit ratings and lower priority than other obligations of an issuer during bankruptcy, presenting a greater risk for nonpayment.
This risk increases as the priority of the obligation becomes lower. Payments on these securities may be subordinated to all existing
and future liabilities and obligations of subsidiaries and associated companies of an issuer. Additionally, some perpetual subordinated
debt does not restrict the ability of an issuer’s subsidiaries to incur further unsecured indebtedness.
Financial
Services Sector Risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic
or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation
and are disproportionately affected by unstable interest rates, volatility in the financial markets, changes in domestic and foreign monetary
policy, and changes in industry regulations, each of which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services
companies may
also have
concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to unstable economic conditions.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Warrants may be significantly less valuable
or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early, resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are
similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants
have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly
volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants
may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market values of convertible securities are
affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying
common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of
market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible
4 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
securities
are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as
a result, are subject to an increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, which are considered to
have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
Warrants,
Equity Securities and Junior Debt Securities of the Borrower Risk.
Warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities have a subordinate claim on a Borrower’s assets as compared with Senior Loans.
As a result, the values of warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities generally are more dependent on the financial condition
of the Borrower and less dependent on fluctuations in interest rates than are the values of many debt securities. The values of warrants,
equity securities and junior debt securities may be more volatile than those of Senior Loans and thus may increase the volatility of the
Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, warrants may be significantly less valuable on their relevant expiration date resulting in
a loss of money or they may expire worthless resulting in a total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be postponed or terminated
early resulting in a partial or total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be illiquid.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Credit
Linked Notes Risk. Risks of credit linked notes include those risks
associated with the underlying reference obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, default
risk and, in some cases, foreign currency risk. An investor in a credit linked note bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer
of the credit linked note will default or become bankrupt and not make timely payment of principal and interest of the structured security.
Credit linked notes may be less liquid than other investments and therefore harder to dispose of at the desired time and price. In addition,
credit linked notes may be leveraged and, as a result, small changes in the value of the underlying reference obligation may produce disproportionate
losses to the Fund.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid
during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely
pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
Borrowing
Risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage
and will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because
leverage
will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Borrowing money may also
require the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so. In addition, the Fund will incur interest expenses and
other fees on borrowed money. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s borrowing strategy will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s
returns.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. For periods prior to August
21, 2020, performance shown is that of the Fund using its previous investment strategy, which did not apply ESG criteria. Therefore, the
performance shown for periods prior to August 21, 2020 may have differed had the Fund’s current investment strategy been in effect.
The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's
performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds
with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund (in that order).
The
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of
at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement,
such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement
account may be taxed when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is total return, comprised of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective
may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in senior secured floating rate loans made by banks and other lending institutions, senior
secured floating rate debt instruments, and derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The Fund’s portfolio managers select the Fund’s portfolio investments by actively employing environmental, social and governance
(ESG) criteria in the investment selection process described below, except as otherwise indicated. Shareholders will be provided with
60 days’ notice of any strategy change resulting in consideration of ESG criteria no longer being material to the Fund’s principal
investment strategy.
Floating
rate loans (also known as bank loans) are made to or issued by companies
(borrowers), which may include U.S. and non-U.S. companies, and bear interest at a floating rate that resets periodically based on a benchmark
that reflects current interest rates. Secured floating rate loans are often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions,
leveraged buyouts and refinancings. Floating rate loans are typically structured and administered by a financial institution that acts
as agent for the lenders in the lending group.
Floating
rate loans will generally be purchased from banks or other financial
institutions through assignments or participations. A direct interest in a floating rate loan may be acquired directly from the agent
or another lender by assignment or an indirect interest may be acquired as a participation in another lender’s portion of a floating
rate loan.
6 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in floating rate loans and
floating rate debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade. Such floating rate debt securities are commonly referred
to as “junk bonds”. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s
or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined
by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest in defaulted or distressed loans and loans
to bankrupt companies.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in floating rate loans and
floating rate debt securities of non-U.S. borrowers or issuers.
The
Fund may invest in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), which are debt
instruments backed solely by a pool of other debt securities. CLOs where the CLO securities held by the Fund are in the senior classes
with a floating rate of return will be counted toward the Fund’s 80% investment policy described above and are subject to application
of the portfolio managers’ ESG criteria with respect to CLOs, as described below.
The
Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in certain other types of
debt obligations or securities and equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, and securities convertible
into common stock), both to increase yield and to manage cash flow. Other types of debt obligations and securities may include unsecured
loans, fixed rate high yield bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, and short-term government and commercial debt obligations. The Fund
may also invest in CLO securities that are in the subordinated debt tranches of a CLO. Up to 5% of the Fund’s net assets may be
invested in subordinated loans. Some of the floating rate loans and debt securities in which the Fund may invest will be considered to
be illiquid.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts, futures contracts and swap contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties to exchange a specified
amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot
basis (i.e., for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward
foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure. Spot contracts allow for prompt delivery and settlement
at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against
adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
The
Fund can use currency futures to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies.
Currency futures contracts are traded on exchanges and have standard contract sizes and delivery dates. Most currency futures contracts
call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars.
A
swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which
the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference
to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The notional amount of a swap is based on
the nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is
not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments
between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge or adjust its exposure
to interest rates, and can use currency swaps
to hedge
its exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund can also use swap contracts, including credit default swaps, to gain or reduce exposure to
an asset class or a particular issuer.
The
portfolio managers’ ESG criteria will apply to derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to senior secured floating rate loans made by banks and other lending institutions and senior
secured floating rate debt instruments as reflected in the Fund’s 80% investment policy. However, the Adviser’s ESG criteria
will not apply to the Fund’s investments in derivatives for currency hedging purposes.
The
Fund can invest in credit linked notes. Credit linked notes are securities
structured and issued by an issuer, which may be a bank, banker or special purpose vehicle. The credit linked note’s price or coupon
is linked to the performance of the reference asset of the second party. Generally, the credit linked note holder receives either a fixed
or floating coupon rate during the life of the credit linked note and par at maturity. The cash flows are dependent on specified credit-related
events. Should the second party default or declare bankruptcy, the credit linked note holder will receive an amount equivalent to the
recovery rate and may not receive any compensation. In return for these risks, the credit linked note holder receives a higher yield.
The Fund can use credit linked notes to gain or reduce exposure to an asset class or a particular issuer.
The
Fund invests in loans and debt securities selected by the Fund’s portfolio
managers based on a fundamental bottom-up risk assessment of each issuer and issue, combined with a top-down macro and sector overlay.
The portfolio managers construct the Fund’s portfolio using a process that focuses on obtaining access to the widest possible range
of potential investments available in the market and ongoing credit analysis of issuers. The portfolio managers perform their own independent
credit analysis on each borrower and the collateral securing each loan, considering the nature of the industry in which the borrower operates,
the nature of the borrower’s assets and the general quality and creditworthiness of the borrower.
For
each investment opportunity, the portfolio managers undertake a comprehensive
due diligence review of the issuer, including in-depth meetings with the issuer’s management team, the financial sponsor (if applicable),
and the industry in which the issuer competes, as well as engages in discussions with third party industry experts to assess credit risk
and gain a detailed understanding of the company and the industry. The portfolio managers’ due diligence looks at detailed cash
flow models, credit and relative value comparable company analyses, and structural terms of the loan. The portfolio managers also analyze
each company to determine its earnings potential and other factors indicating the sustainability of debt repayment. The analysis concludes
with an investment thesis and recommendation that includes an internal risk rating derived from the portfolio managers’ view of
the issuer’s probability of default and estimated recovery ratings.
Additionally,
as part of the credit selection and portfolio construction process,
the Fund employs a proprietary framework for evaluating each issuer based on ESG criteria the portfolio managers have determined to be
important in the investment selection process. The Fund’s ESG methodology actively utilizes both proprietary ESG scoring and ESG
exclusionary screening to construct the Fund’s portfolio. The portfolio managers apply their ESG criteria in an effort to assess
an issuer’s impact of business operations on the environment, the social impact its business has on internal and external communities,
and the quality of its corporate governance principles.
Under
normal market conditions, the portfolio managers will employ the following
ESG methodology to assess investment opportunities for the Fund’s portfolio (except with respect to CLOs, which employ a different
ESG methodology described below): The portfolio managers first employ a proprietary ESG screen to exclude issuers from the investment
universe of securities in which the Fund may invest that do not meet its investment criteria. Such excluded issuers are those with substantial
involvement in the production of tobacco products, controversial weapons, engagement in cultivation, production or distribution of recreational
cannabis, extraction of
7 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
thermal
coal, and extraction of fossil fuels from unconventional sources. Issuers involved in the generation of electricity above 30% from coal-fired
plants are also excluded. Issuers will also be excluded based on their non-compliance with UN Global Compact principles. The principles
of the UN Global Compact represent a set of values that the UN believes responsible businesses should incorporate into their operations
in order to meet fundamental responsibilities in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. They are derived from
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights
at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the United Nations Convention Against Corruption. The UN principles embody
the idea that responsible companies’ business practices should reflect: (1) protection of internationally proclaimed human rights;
(2) not being complicit in human rights abuses; (3) freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining; (4) elimination of
forced and compulsory labor; (5) abolition of child labor; (6) elimination of discrimination in employment and occupation; (7) supporting
a precautionary approach to environmental challenges; (8) promoting greater environmental responsibility; (9) development and diffusion
of environmentally friendly technologies, and (10) working against corruption, including extortion and bribery. To the extent an issuer’s
status changes to meet the qualification for exclusion, the Fund shall take steps to divest its holdings of the issuer within a reasonable
period of time. Because the Fund's divestment of such investments may not be immediate, the Fund could be invested in investments that
do meet the qualification for exclusion. This screening criteria may be updated periodically.
Next,
based on research and due diligence reviews conducted with the management
teams of the eligible issuers, each investment opportunity is scored by the portfolio management team on a scale of 1-5 for risks related
to multiple ESG factors under each individual pillar of the ESG framework (1 indicates “no risk” and 5 indicates “high
risk”). The environmental pillar (“E”) factors include natural resources, pollution and waste, supply chain impact,
and environmental opportunities. The social pillar (“S”) factors include workforce, community, product responsibility, and
human rights. The governance pillar (“G”) factors include management, shareholders, board of directors, auditors, regulatory
issuers, corporate social responsibility strategy, anti-corruption, and business ethics. The foregoing factors in each ESG pillar may
be updated periodically.
Each
investment opportunity is assigned a weighted average score for each
ESG pillar. An overall aggregated, or composite, ESG score is also calculated, with pillars weighted differently depending on the industry.
The scores are determined at the time of purchase and reviewed at least annually. The Fund will not invest in loans or securities from
issuers that have a composite ESG rating or single category E, S, or G pillar rating above levels set within the internal ESG rating methodology,
and will seek to divest within a reasonable period of time from investments for which the aggregate ESG rating or single category E, S,
or G ratings rise above these limits, as determined by the portfolio managers’ internal rating methodology. Because the Fund's divestment
of such investments may not be immediate, the Fund could be invested in investments that do meet the qualification for exclusion. Under
normal circumstances, pursuant to its current internal limits, the Fund will only invest in loans from issuers with a single category
E, S or G pillar score of 4.25 and under and will also only invest in loans from issuers with a composite ESG score of 4.0 and under.
With
regard to the application of the Fund’s ESG methodology to CLOs, the
portfolio managers will utilize a proprietary approach in selecting CLOs for investment. The portfolio managers will assess via their
due diligence process how a CLO manager incorporates ESG considerations into its asset selection process. The portfolio managers examine
and assess the following ESG considerations with respect to the CLO manager: the existence of an ESG practice that definitively includes/excludes
borrowers as eligible investments; the number of the CLO’s investments that must be ESG-rated prior to becoming an eligible investment;
the extent to which the ESG ratings process results in a quantitative evaluation; the existence of an
exclusionary/screening
policy that prohibits investments in certain companies based on ESG considerations; the extent to which formal control procedures are
in place to ensure consistency and compliance with ESG policies; the frequency with which ESG ratings are evaluated; and the extent to
which the CLO manager is a signatory to UN-backed principles of responsible investment. Based on those considerations, the portfolio managers
assign quantitative factor ratings to each CLO manager in order to assess how that manager evaluates the different E, S and G risks within
their portfolio and determine a cumulative CLO manager ESG score. Only CLO managers whose ESG practices meet the Fund’s internal
ESG standards based on the above considerations and quantitative factor ratings will become an eligible CLO manager. The CLO manager screen
will be reviewed and updated at least annually.
Decisions
to purchase or sell loans and other investments are determined
by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply
and demand, market dislocations, situation-specific opportunities and application of the Fund’s ESG criteria. The purchase or sale
of loans and other investments may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure, a desire to limit or reduce
the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, the degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, an ESG screen or score,
or the general liquidity needs of the Fund.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to
8 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
Russia’s
continued military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative
effects on regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty.
The negative impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take
additional countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial
markets. The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in
a negative impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund
may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Bank
Loan Risk. There are a number of risks associated with an investment
in bank loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically associated
with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited public information regarding bank loans. Lack of an active trading
market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the
Fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing
and prospective investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result,
the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations.
The
risk of holding bank loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency
or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to pay, there is the possibility that the collateral securing
a loan, if any, may be difficult to liquidate or be insufficient to cover the amount owed under the loan. The value of bank loans can
be affected by and sensitive to changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. These risks
could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns. Additionally,
valuation of bank loans may require greater research due to limited public information available and elements of judgment may play a greater
role in valuation since there may be a lack of objective data available.
Bank
loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest
rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments
on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer
or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an issuer seeks to
restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest or the repayment
of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of
such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit
analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
Collateralized
Loan Obligations Risk. CLOs are subject to the risks of substantial
losses due to actual defaults by underlying borrowers, which will be greater during periods of economic or financial stress. CLOs may
also lose value due to collateral defaults and disappearance of subordinate tranches, market anticipation of defaults, and investor aversion
to CLO securities as a class. The risks of CLOs will be greater if the Fund invests in CLOs that hold loans of uncreditworthy borrowers
or if the Fund holds subordinate tranches of the CLO that absorb losses from the defaults before senior tranches. In addition, CLOs are
subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
ESG
Risk. Because the Fund evaluates ESG factors to assess and exclude
certain investments for non-financial reasons, it may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these factors.
The securities of issuers that score favorably under the Fund’s ESG scoring methodology may underperform similar issuers that do
not score as well or may underperform the market as a whole. As a result, the Fund may underperform funds that do not screen or score
issuers based on ESG factors or funds that use a different ESG methodology. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may
not be readily available, complete or accurate, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to apply its methodology, which
in turn could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Fund’s assessment of an issuer, based on the issuer’s
level of involvement in a particular industry or the issuer’s ESG score, may differ from that of other funds or an investor. As
a result, the issuers deemed eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio may not reflect the beliefs or values of any particular
investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. In the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the integrity of LIBOR was increasingly questioned because several banks contributing
to its calculation were accused of rate manipulation and because of a general contraction in the unsecured interbank lending market. As
a result, regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify
alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with
the transition, on March 5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA),
9 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
the
regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative
on January 1, 2022. Consequently, the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021, but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR
rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly transition away from these rates. Additionally, key regulators
have instructed banking institutions to cease entering into new contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021,
subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR
transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example,
there can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics
of any ARRs or financial instruments
in
which the Fund
invests that
utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic
equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators have generally
prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist,
there remains
uncertainty and risks relating to certain
“legacy”
USD LIBOR
instruments that were issued or entered into before December
31,
2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will
be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR
is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to
the Fund.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in
central bank policies
could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders,
which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Defaulted
Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that
principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on defaulted securities
and may incur costs to protect its investment. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may
be subject to restrictions on resale. Investments in defaulted securities and obligations of distressed issuers are considered speculative
and the prices of these securities may be more volatile than non-defaulted securities.
This
risk also applies to investments in loans to bankrupt companies.
Subordinated
Debt Risk. Perpetual subordinated debt is a type of hybrid instrument
that has no maturity date for the return of principal and does not need to be redeemed by the issuer. These investments typically have
lower credit ratings and lower priority than other obligations of an issuer during bankruptcy, presenting a greater risk for nonpayment.
This risk increases as the priority of the obligation becomes lower. Payments on these securities may be subordinated to all existing
and future liabilities and obligations of subsidiaries and associated companies of an issuer. Claims of creditors of such subsidiaries
and associated companies will have priority over the issuer and the Fund to the assets of those subsidiaries and associated companies.
Additionally, some perpetual subordinated debt does not restrict the ability of an issuer’s subsidiaries to incur further unsecured
indebtedness.
Credit
Quality Risk. The Fund can invest in securities that are rated
or unrated. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s or S&P (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the investment
adviser to be comparable to securities rated
investment-grade).
“Below-investment-grade” securities are those that are rated below those categories, which are also referred to as “junk
bonds.” While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning
Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the investment adviser uses the highest rating
assigned.
Credit
ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal
payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change from time
to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer. Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations.
In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings
by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s
ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular security may change over time. The investment adviser also may use
its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based
on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating categories are described in an Appendix to the SAI.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable
price.
In
evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated,
the investment adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors such as, if applicable, the financial resources of the
issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends,
any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities
of the issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A
reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require
the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the investment adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to
keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Financial
Services Sector Risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic
or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation
and, as a result, their profitability may be affected by new regulations or regulatory interpretations. Unstable interest rates, volatility
in the financial markets, changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy, and changes in industry regulations, can have a disproportionate
effect on companies in the financial services sector which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services
companies whose securities the Fund may purchase may themselves have concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to
unstable economic conditions.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home
10 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
countries
of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations
in those countries. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer
or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental
restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies,
including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption.
Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it
more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to
recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt.
Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments
in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular
country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged
its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign
currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies,
if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital
structure,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities
will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial
condition or prospects. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer
no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Rights and warrants may be purchased directly
or acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period
of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to, and is generally more volatile than, the price of the underlying
security. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early,
resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly
by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the
underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
Warrants,
Equity Securities and Junior Debt Securities of the Borrower Risk.
Warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities have a subordinate claim on a Borrower’s assets as compared with Senior Loans.
As a result, the values of warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities generally are more dependent on the financial condition
of the Borrower and less dependent on fluctuations in interest rates than are the values of many debt securities. The values of warrants,
equity securities and junior debt securities may be more volatile than those of Senior Loans and thus may increase the volatility of the
Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, warrants may be significantly less valuable on their relevant expiration date resulting in
a loss of money or they may expire worthless resulting in a total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be postponed or terminated
early resulting in a partial or total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be illiquid.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the
11 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
use of
derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Forward
Contracts Risk. The projection of short-term currency market movements
is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. The precise matching of the
amounts under forward contracts and the value of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the future value of securities
denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered into
and the date it is sold. Investments in forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately
predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses on these contracts and to pay additional transaction costs.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Swap
Transactions Risk. Under U.S. financial reform legislation enacted
in 2010, certain types of swaps are required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central clearing house counterparty,
which may entail further risks and costs for the Fund. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and
may be entered into as a bilateral contract or may be centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution
of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing to a central clearing house counterparty, and the Fund faces the central
clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures commission merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Credit
Linked Notes Risk. Risks of credit linked notes include those risks
associated with the underlying reference obligation including but not limited to market risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, default
risk and, in some cases, foreign currency risk. In the case of a credit linked note that is “funded,” the par amount of the
security will represent the maximum loss that could be incurred on the investment and no leverage is introduced. An investor in a credit
linked note bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the credit linked note will default or become bankrupt and not make
timely payment of principal and interest of the structured security. Credit linked notes may be less liquid than other investments and
therefore harder to dispose of at the desired time and price. In addition, credit linked notes may be leveraged and, as a result, small
changes in the value of the underlying reference obligation may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to
a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise
restricted from trading. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s
securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly
reduced prices.
12 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
Borrowing
Risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage
because the Fund seeks to achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Borrowing
will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in
the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The Fund may also be required to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous
to do so in order to repay borrowed money when due. In addition, the Fund will incur interest expenses and other fees on borrowed money.
There can be no assurance that the Fund’s borrowing strategy will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s returns.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Invesco
Senior Secured Management, Inc. (Invesco Senior Secured) serves
as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser. Invesco Senior Secured, an affiliate of the Adviser, is located at 225 Liberty Street, New
York, New York 10281. Invesco Senior Secured has experience managing senior secured loans dating back to 1990. Invesco Senior Secured
manages a broad array of portfolio types including retail mutual funds, commingled institutional funds, separate accounts and structured
products for a variety of retail and institutional investors (both public and private). Invesco Senior Secured provides portfolio management
services to the Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.”
Commodity
interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted
to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading
in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance
on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after
fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
Invesco,
not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio
Managers
Investment
management decisions for the Fund are made by the investment management team at Invesco Senior Secured.
◾
Thomas
Ewald (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2006 (and the Fund's predecessor closed-end fund,
since 2004) and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or its affiliates since 2000.
◾
Scott
Baskind, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2013 and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or
its affiliates since 1999.
◾
Philip
Yarrow, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2013 and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or
its affiliates since 2010.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all
aspects of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio
construction techniques, portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The
degree to which a lead or co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 2.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category IV Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
13 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
14 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
The financial
highlights show the Fund’s financial history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the period of operations of the Fund
or any of its share classes. The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance.
Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions).
This
information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual
report, which is available upon request.

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

17 Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A

The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.

following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:

◾

◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.

Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.

may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.

shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾

dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;

purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer

redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)

to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The

Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.

C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the Fund or the transfer agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily
redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem their shares.

Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 39%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the securities
of real estate and real estate related issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to
such securities. The
Fund invests primarily in real estate investment trusts (REITs), depositary receipts, equity securities (including common and preferred
stock and convertible securities) of domestic and foreign issuers, and debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers (including corporate
debt obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities).
The
Fund will concentrate its investments in the securities of domestic
and foreign companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments. For purposes of the Fund’s
80% policy, the Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income
or net profits are attributable to ownership, financing, construction, management, or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real
estate. These issuers include: (i) listed equity REITs and other real estate operating issuers that either (a) own property or make construction
or mortgage loans, (b) are real estate developers, or (c) are companies with substantial real estate holdings; and (ii) other issuers
whose products and services are related to the real estate industry. Other real estate related investments may include but are not limited
to commercial or residential mortgage backed securities, commercial property whole loans, and other types of equity and debt securities
related to the real estate industry.
The
Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in below-investment grade
securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate related issuers.
Under
normal circumstances, the Fund will provide exposure to investments
that are economically tied to at least three different countries, including the U.S. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in
securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The
Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes. Real
estate companies tend to have smaller asset bases compared with other market sectors, therefore, the Fund may hold a significant amount
of securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions
such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts.
The
Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse
movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities
1 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
are denominated;
though the Fund has not historically used these instruments.
The
portfolio managers evaluate securities based primarily on the relative
attractiveness of income with a secondary consideration for the potential for capital appreciation. The qualified investment universe
includes global public real estate equity and debt securities. When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers first set a strategic
equity versus debt asset allocation and then apply a fundamentals-driven investment process. The equity versus debt allocation is determined
by assessing the implied market pricing and projected risk adjusted returns of equity and debt investment alternatives. This assessment
is conducted while seeking to achieve a level of diversification within asset categories and is influenced by a variety of factors including
the macroeconomic environment, capital market sentiment, absolute return expectations, liquidity and distribution of return outcomes.
Following the strategic asset allocation decision, the fundamental real estate and securities analysis includes an evaluation of factors
such as property market cycle analysis, property evaluation, management and structure review, as well as relative value analysis using
earnings data and other fundamental variables to identify securities with characteristics including (i) attractive relative yields; (ii)
favorable property market outlook; and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
As
part of the Fund’s investment process to implement its investment strategy
in pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund’s portfolio managers may also consider both qualitative and quantitative environmental,
social and governance (“ESG”) factors they believe to be material to understanding an issuer’s fundamentals, assess
whether any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to the issuer and determine whether such risks are appropriately
reflected in the issuer’s valuation. This analysis may involve the use of third-party research as well as proprietary research.
Consideration of ESG factors is just one component of the portfolio managers’ assessment of issuers eligible for investment and
not necessarily determinative to an investment decision. Therefore, the Fund’s portfolio managers may still invest in securities
of issuers that may be viewed as having a high ESG risk profile. The ESG factors considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers may
change over time, one
or more factors may not be relevant with respect to all issuers eligible for investment and ESG considerations may not be applied to each
issuer or Fund investment.
The
portfolio managers seek to limit risk through various controls, such as
diversifying the portfolio asset categories, property types and geographic areas, as well as by considering the relative liquidity of
each security and limiting the size of any one holding.
The
portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude: (1)
its relative yield and/or valuation have fallen below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile has changed significantly, (3) its fundamentals
have changed significantly, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts
of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments
in real estate related instruments may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that
affect property values, rents or occupancies. Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies,
may be more volatile and less liquid than larger companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations
held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty
in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Geographic
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount
of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political
or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same
risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation
to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of
such receipts. The
2 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
Fund may
therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market values of convertible securities are
affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying
common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of
market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary
conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an
increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and
more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets
may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Such countries’
economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies
in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing
and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about
such companies may be less available and reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law
and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to
bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions
on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such
as share blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such
actions,
may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging
market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs,
delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes
in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security
may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in
buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible
to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities
tend to be very volatile.
Mortgage-
and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities,
including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the
risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans.
This could result in the Fund reinvesting these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund's income. Mortgage-
and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that an unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce
the rate of prepayments, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall. An unexpectedly
high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and could
result in losses to the Fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types
of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it desires. During periods of market stress or
high redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell these securities at significantly reduced prices, resulting in losses. Liquid privately-issued
mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. Privately-issued mortgage-related
securities are not subject to the same underwriting requirements as those with government or government-sponsored entity guarantees and,
therefore, mortgage loans underlying privately-issued mortgage-related securities may have less favorable collateral, credit risk, liquidity
risk or other underwriting characteristics, and wider variances in interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics.
Rule 144A Securities
and Other Exempt Securities Risk.
The market for Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements typically is less active than the market for
publicly-traded securities.
Rule 144A and other exempt securities, which
are also known as
privately issued securities, carry the risk
that their liquidity may become impaired and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.
3 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of the investment process to implement the Fund’s investment strategy in pursuit of its investment
objective may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every
investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The Fund’s portfolio will not be solely
based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the Fund invests may not be considered ESG-focused issuers. The incorporation
of ESG factors may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Fund may underperform
other funds that do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors or that use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors.
Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers
and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic. There is no guarantee that the evaluation of ESG considerations will be
additive to the Fund’s performance.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.

at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may
be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in the securities of real estate and real estate related issuers, and in derivatives and
other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund invests primarily in REITs, depositary receipts,
equity securities (including common and preferred stock and convertible securities) of domestic and foreign issuers, and debt securities
of domestic and foreign issuers (including corporate debt obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities).
A
depositary receipt is generally issued by a bank or financial institution and
represents an ownership interest in the common stock or other equity securities of a foreign company.
REITs
are trusts that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the
proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein.
The
Fund will concentrate its investments in the securities of domestic
and foreign companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments. For purposes of the Fund’s
80% policy, the Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate related issuer if at least 50% of its assets, gross income
or net profits are attributable to ownership, financing, construction, management, or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real
estate. These issuers include: (i) listed equity REITs and other real estate operating issuers that either (a) own property or make construction
or mortgage loans, (b) are real estate developers, or (c) are companies with substantial real estate holdings; and (ii) other issuers
whose products and services are related to the real estate industry. Other real estate related investments may include but are not limited
to commercial or residential mortgage backed securities, commercial property whole loans, and other types of equity and debt securities
related to the real estate industry.
The
Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in below-investment grade
securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate related issuers. Investment grade securities are:
(i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s)
or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term
NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase.
Under
normal circumstances, the Fund will provide exposure to investments
that are economically tied to at least three different countries, including the U.S. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in
securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The Schedule of
5 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
Investments
included in the Fund’s annual and semi-annual reports identifies the countries in which the Fund had invested, as of the date of
the reports.
The
Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes. Real
estate companies tend to have smaller asset bases compared with other market sectors, therefore, the Fund may hold a significant amount
of securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a small-capitalization issuer if it has a
market capitalization, at the time of purchase, no larger than the largest capitalized issuer included in the Russell 2000®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market
capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized companies included in the Russell Midcap®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions
such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts.
A
forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties to exchange
a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to
hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated; though the Fund has not historically
used these instruments.
The
portfolio managers evaluate securities based primarily on the relative
attractiveness of income with a secondary consideration for the potential for capital appreciation. The qualified investment universe
includes global public real estate equity and debt securities. When constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers first set a strategic
equity versus debt asset allocation and then apply a fundamentals-driven investment process. The equity versus debt allocation is determined
by assessing the implied market pricing and projected risk adjusted returns of equity and debt investment alternatives. This assessment
is conducted while seeking to achieve a level of diversification within asset categories and is influenced by a variety of factors including
the macroeconomic environment, capital market sentiment, absolute return expectations, liquidity and distribution of return outcomes.
Following the strategic asset allocation decision, the fundamental real estate and securities analysis includes an evaluation of factors
such as property market cycle analysis, property evaluation, management and structure review, as well as relative value analysis using
earnings data and other fundamental variables to identify securities with characteristics including (i) attractive relative yields; (ii)
favorable property market outlook; and (iii) attractive valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
As
part of the Fund’s investment process to implement its investment strategy
in pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund’s portfolio managers may also consider both qualitative and quantitative environmental,
social and governance (“ESG”) factors they believe to be material to understanding an issuer’s fundamentals, assess
whether any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to the issuer and determine whether such risks are appropriately
reflected in the issuer’s valuation. This analysis may involve the use of third-party research as well as proprietary research.
Consideration of ESG factors is just one component of the portfolio managers’ assessment of issuers eligible for investment and
not necessarily determinative to an investment decision. Therefore, the Fund’s portfolio managers may still invest in securities
of issuers that may be viewed as having a high ESG risk profile. The ESG factors considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers may
change over time, one
or more factors may not be relevant with respect to all issuers eligible for investment and ESG considerations may not be applied to each
issuer or Fund investment.
The
portfolio managers seek to limit risk through various controls, such as
diversifying the portfolio asset categories, property types and geographic areas, as well as by considering the relative liquidity of
each security and limiting the size of any one holding.
The
portfolio managers will consider selling a security if they conclude: (1)
its relative yield and/or valuation have fallen below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile has changed significantly, (3) its fundamentals
have changed significantly, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and
6 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
the
value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic
regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk.
Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends
and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities.
Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small- and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile
and less liquid than larger companies. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management,
the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate
insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund,
the Fund may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and
selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of
the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a
certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally
may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting
controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies
in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws
of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository
or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile
than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region
could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone
arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from
adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk
also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign
currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates
may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance,
currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Geographic
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount
of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its
investments in this manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may have a significant negative impact
on the Fund’s investment performance. This risk is heightened if the Fund focuses its investments in emerging market countries or
developed countries prone to periods of instability.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks
as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts,
particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the
holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. The Fund may therefore
receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes
7 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
referred
to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small and mid-cap companies
typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they
are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any
gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the Fund is not required
to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and
other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may
be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred to as developing
markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence
of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition, companies operating
in emerging markets may have greater concentration in a few industries resulting in greater vulnerability to regional and global trade
conditions and also may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Unexpected
market closures may also affect investments in emerging markets. Settlement procedures may differ from those of more established securities
markets, and settlement delays may result in the inability to invest assets or dispose of portfolio securities in a timely manner. As
a result there could be subsequent declines in value of the portfolio security, a decrease in the level of liquidity of the portfolio,
or, if there is a contract to sell the security, a possible liability to the purchaser.
Such
countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries
or investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global
changes.
Emerging market countries may also have higher rates of inflation and more rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates and greater
sensitivity to interest rate changes. Further, companies in emerging market countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory,
disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries and, as a
result, the nature and quality of such information may vary. Information about such companies may be less available and reliable and,
therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in emerging markets may be limited which can impede the Fund’s ability
to evaluate such companies. In addition, certain emerging market countries have material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities, which hinder the ability to engage in independent
oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating in certain emerging markets; therefore, there is no guarantee that
the quality of financial reporting or the audits conducted by audit firms of emerging market issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Securities
law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled.
Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder
rights may change quickly and unpredictably. Emerging market countries also may have less developed legal systems allowing for enforcement
of private property rights and/or redress for injuries to private property (including bankruptcy, confiscatory taxation, expropriation,
nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share blocking). Certain governments may require approval for the repatriation
of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. The ability to bring and enforce actions in
emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may
be difficult or impossible to pursue. In addition, the taxation systems at the federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries
may be less transparent and inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change.
Emerging
market countries may have a higher degree of corruption and fraud
than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources. The governments in some emerging market countries have been engaged in programs to sell all or part of their interests
in government-owned or controlled enterprises. However, in certain emerging market countries, the ability of foreign entities to participate
in privatization programs may be limited by local law. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be successful.
Other
risks of investing in emerging market securities may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest
or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s
perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s
credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a
8 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
debt
security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
Mortgage-
and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities,
including collateralized debt obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, differ from conventional debt securities because principal
is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or
call risk, which is the risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates
on underlying loans. Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, the Fund may reinvest these early payments
at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund's income. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities also are subject to extension risk.
An unexpected rise in interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments and extend the life of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities,
causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed securities and the Fund’s share price to fall and would make the mortgage- and
asset-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage
pool will adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and will result in losses to the Fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed
securities and asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and the Fund may be unable to sell these securities
at the time or price it desires. During periods of market stress or high redemptions, the Fund may be forced to sell these securities
at significantly reduced prices, resulting in losses. Liquid privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities can
become illiquid during periods of market stress. Privately-issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting
requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those mortgage-related securities that have government or government-sponsored
entity guarantees. As a result, the mortgage loans underlying privately-issued mortgage-related securities may, and frequently do, have
less favorable collateral, credit risk, liquidity risk or other underwriting characteristics than government or government-sponsored mortgage-related
securities and have wider variances in a number of terms including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower characteristics.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk.
The Fund may invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities,
which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities are also known as privately issued securities,
and typically may be resold only to qualified institutional buyers,
or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited number of purchasers,
or in limited quantities after they have been held for a specified
period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Although such securities may be determined to be liquid
in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended,
if there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular time, the Fund may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable
time or price. As a result, the
Fund’s investment in such securities may be subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A securities
may require their qualified institutional buyers (such as the
Fund)
to keep certain offering information confidential, which could
adversely affect the ability of the Fund to sell such securities.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in
central bank policies
could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders,
which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit a derivative position because of market illiquidity, the Fund
may not be able to prevent further losses of value
9 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
in
its derivatives holdings and the liquidity of the Fund and its ability to meet redemption requests may be impaired to the extent that
a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin. Another consequence of illiquidity is that the
Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery of the underlying asset that the Adviser would
otherwise avoid.
◾
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts Risk. Forward foreign currency
contracts are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency or protect against possible losses
from changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency. They are subject to the risk that anticipated
currency movements will not be accurately predicted or do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the fund's holdings, which
could result in losses and additional transaction costs. The use of forward contracts could reduce performance if there are unanticipated
changes in currency prices. A contract to sell a foreign currency would limit any potential gain that might be realized if the value of
the currency increases. A forward foreign currency contract may also result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of the investment process to implement the Fund’s investment strategy in pursuit of its investment
objective may vary across types of investments and issuers eligible for investment, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated
for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The Fund’s portfolio will not
be solely based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the Fund invests may not be considered ESG-focused issuers.
The incorporation of ESG factors may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The
Fund may underperform other funds that do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors as part of the investment process or that use a different
methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. As investors can differ in their views regarding ESG factors, the Fund may invest
in issuers that do not reflect the views with respect to ESG of any particular investor. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such
factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined
characteristic, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to accurately assess a company, which could negatively impact the
Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee that the evaluation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the
attractiveness,
relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience
losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment
decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment
strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve
its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco Asset Management Limited (Invesco Asset Management) serves
as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser. Invesco Asset Management, an affiliate of the Adviser, is located at 30 Finsbury Square, London
EC2A 1AG, United Kingdom. Invesco Asset Management has been managing assets on behalf of consumers, institutional clients and institutional
professionals through a broad product range, including investment companies with variable capital, investment trusts, individual savings
accounts, pension funds, offshore funds and other specialist mandates since 1969, the year Invesco Asset Management was incorporated.
Invesco Asset Management provides portfolio management services to the Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund's SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets.
The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or
this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.74% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after
fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.

not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A

report to shareholders.

Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

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

13 Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.

the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that

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

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”

For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow
are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below and to Invesco funds that offer the share class(es)
to which the arrangements relate. Please contact your financial intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information
with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, and
share class eligibility requirements and other special arrangements. Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts,
investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility
requirements
and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums,
minimum account balances and other special arrangements and that you are placed in the proper share class for which you are eligible through
your financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s
financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or
discounts or other financial intermediary-specific arrangements as disclosed herein. Please contact your financial intermediary for more
information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, share class eligibility requirements

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:

Invesco
Distributors or its designee has the discretion to accept orders on behalf of clients for lesser amounts.
The
minimum investments for Class R5 and R6 shares are as follows:
There
is no minimum initial investment for an Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plan investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts where the intermediary:
◾
generally
charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus; and
◾
maintains
Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
A
financial intermediary may impose different investment minimums than
those set forth above. The Fund is not responsible for any investment minimums imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders
of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific
Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific investment minimums. Please consult with your financial intermediary
if you have any questions regarding their policies.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your
broker or financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling
redemption transactions.
|
Through
a Financial
Adviser
or Financial
Intermediary*
|
Contact
your financial adviser or financial intermediary. The Funds’
transfer
agent must receive your financial adviser’s or financial
intermediary’s
call before the Funds’ net asset value determination
(as
defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption
at
that day’s net asset value. Please contact your financial adviser or
financial
intermediary with respect to reporting of cost basis and
available
elections for your account. |
|
Send
a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent which includes: |
|
▪ Original
signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
▪ The
dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
▪ The
name of the Fund(s) and your account number;
▪ The
cost basis method or specific shares you wish to redeem for
tax
reporting purposes, if different than the method already on
record;
and |
|
▪ Signature
guarantees, if necessary (see below).
The
Funds’ transfer agent may require that you provide additional
documentation,
or information, such as corporate resolutions or
powers
of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from a
Retirement
and Benefit Plan, you must complete the appropriate
distribution
form. |
|
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be
allowed
to redeem by telephone if:
▪ Your
redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on
record
(and there has been no change in your address of record
within
the last 15 days) or transferred electronically to a
pre-authorized
checking account;
▪ You
can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ You
have not previously declined the telephone redemption
privilege.
|
|
You
may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an
Invesco
IRA by telephone. Redemptions from Employer Sponsored
Retirement
and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be
initiated
only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate
distribution
form, as well as employer authorization. You must call the
Funds’
transfer agent before the Funds’ net asset value
determination
(as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect
the
redemption at that day’s net asset value. |
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent’s 24-hour Automated Investor Line at

▪ You
have already provided proper bank information.
Redemptions
from Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans
and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be initiated only in writing
and
require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as
well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following

Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.

Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾

Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 23%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund’s investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), seeks to achieve the Fund’s
investment objective by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities, which include common stocks and convertible securities.
The
Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however,
a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment
trusts (REITs).
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers,
which may include depositary receipts.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts, futures contracts and options.
The
Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse
movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The
Fund can use futures contracts to seek exposure to certain asset classes
and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The
Fund can use options to seek alpha (return on investments in excess
of the Russell 1000®
Value Index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The
Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued
companies with characteristics for improved valuations. The Adviser looks for catalysts for change that may positively impact a company.
This catalyst could come from within the company in the form of
new management, operational enhancements, restructuring or reorganization. It could also be an external factor, such as an improvement
in industry conditions or a regulatory change. The aim is to uncover these catalysts for change, and then benefit from potential stock
price appreciation of the change taking place at the company.
The
Fund may dispose of a security when, in the opinion of the Adviser, the
security reaches the Adviser’s estimate of fair value or when the Adviser identifies a more attractive investment opportunity.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
1 Invesco
Growth and Income Fund
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market values of convertible securities are
affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying
common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of
market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary
conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an
increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in
value.
Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same
risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation
to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of
such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign
issuer.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than larger
companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real
estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate;
and economic or regulatory changes.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments

may also
be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable
time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its
derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could
impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example,
derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly
during adverse market conditions.
Value Investing
Risk. Value investing entails the risk that if the market does
not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach
could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause a fund to underperform funds
that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when
value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of “value” companies may underperform the securities
of “growth” companies or the overall stock market.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes
in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that
of a style-specific benchmark, a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of
the Fund and a broad-based securities market benchmark (in that order).
The
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective
may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under
normal market conditions, the Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s
investment objective by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities, which include common stocks and convertible securities.
The
Fund may invest in securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes; however,
a substantial number of the issuers in which the Fund invests are large-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a large-capitalization issuer if it has a
market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized companies included in the Russell
1000®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end
data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in REITs. REITs pool investors’
funds for investment primarily in commercial real estate properties or real estate related loans. REITs generally derive their income
from rents on the underlying properties or interest on the underlying loans, and their value is impacted by changes in the value of the
underlying property or changes in interest rates affecting the underlying loans owned by the REITs.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers,
which may include depositary receipts. A depositary receipt is generally issued by a bank or financial institution and represents an
ownership
interest in the common stock or other equity securities of a foreign company.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts, futures contracts and options.
A
forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between parties to exchange
a specified amount of currency at a specified future time at a specified rate. The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to
hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts to seek exposure to certain asset classes and to hedge
against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
An
option is a derivative financial instrument that reflects a contract between
two parties for a future transaction on an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation,
to engage in that transaction, while the seller incurs the corresponding obligation to fulfill the transaction. The price of an option
derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset (commonly a stock, a bond, a currency or
a futures contract) plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. Other types of options exist, and options
can in principle be created for any type of valuable asset. The Fund can use options to seek alpha (return on investments in excess of
the Russell 1000®
Value Index) or to mitigate risk and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The
Fund emphasizes a value style of investing, which focuses on undervalued
companies with characteristics for improved valuations. The Adviser looks for catalysts for change that may positively impact a company.
This catalyst could come from within the company in the form of
new management, operational enhancements, restructuring or reorganization. It could also be an external factor, such as an improvement
in industry conditions or a regulatory change. The aim is to uncover these catalysts for change, and then benefit from potential stock
price appreciation of the change taking place at the company.
The
Fund may dispose of a security when, in the opinion of the Adviser, the
security reaches the Adviser’s estimate of fair value or when the Adviser identifies a more attractive investment opportunity.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or
4 Invesco
Growth and Income Fund
section
of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market
conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes
in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse
investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual
issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition,
natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism or other
events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy
generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy.
During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can
be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may
have unexpected
negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move
in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing
and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information
about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies.
The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank,
depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country
or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to
time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater
risks from adverse events that occur in that
5 Invesco
Growth and Income Fund
country
or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign
currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through
which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short
periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by
the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks
as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts,
particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the
holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. The Fund may therefore
receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the
Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions,
government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries
and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the SEC.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small- and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile
and less liquid than larger companies. The value of investments in
real estate
related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial
covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company
defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks
such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
6 Invesco
Growth and Income Fund
◾
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts Risk. Forward foreign currency contracts
are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency or protect against possible losses from changes
in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency. They are subject to the risk that anticipated currency movements
will not be accurately predicted or do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the fund's holdings, which could result in
losses and additional transaction costs. The use of forward contracts could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency
prices. A contract to sell a foreign currency would limit any potential gain that might be realized if the value of the currency increases.
A forward foreign currency contract may also result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Options
Risk. If the Fund sells a put option, there is a risk that the
Fund may be required to buy the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option, there is a risk that
the Fund may be required to sell the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If the Fund sells a call option on an investment
that the Fund owns (a “covered call”) and the investment has increased in value when the option is exercised, the Fund will
be required to sell the investment at the call price and will not be able to realize any of the investment’s value above the call
price. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater price volatility than other investments.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Value
Investing Risk.
Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security
might not appreciate as anticipated. A value investing approach could also lead to acquiring fewer securities that might experience rapid
price increases during times of market advances. This could cause the investments to underperform strategies that seek capital appreciation
by employing only a growth or other non-value approach. Value investing has also gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and
is likely to continue to do so. During periods when value investing is out of favor or
when markets
are unstable, the securities of “value” companies may underperform the securities of “growth” companies or the
overall stock market.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps
markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies
or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.36% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after
fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
7 Invesco
Growth and Income Fund
Portfolio
Managers
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾
Brian
Jurkash (co-lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2015 and has been associated with Invesco and/or
its affiliates since 2000.
◾
Matthew
Titus,
CFA (co-lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2016 and has been associated with Invesco and/or
its affiliates since 2016. From 2004 to 2016, he was employed by American Century Investments, where he served as co-manager of the firm's
relative value fund and most recently served as lead manager of such fund.
◾
Sergio
Marcheli, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2010 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2010. Mr. Marcheli served as Portfolio Manager of the predecessor fund since 2003.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all
aspects of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio
construction techniques, portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The
degree to which a lead or co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

9 Invesco
Growth and Income Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow
are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below and to Invesco funds that offer the share class(es)
to which the arrangements relate. Please contact your financial intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information
with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, and
share class eligibility requirements and other special arrangements. Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts,
investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility
requirements
and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums,
minimum account balances and other special arrangements and that you are placed in the proper share class for which you are eligible through
your financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s
financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or
discounts or other financial intermediary-specific arrangements as disclosed herein. Please contact your financial intermediary for more
information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, share class eligibility requirements

purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established

instructions must have been
provided
on your account. You may
not
purchase shares in Retirement
and
Benefit Plans on the internet. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

or
R shares of any other Fund as long as you are otherwise eligible for such share class. If you
exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.

Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,

Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.

Foreign

◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the
Adviser) has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses and certain items discussed
in the SAI) of Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y, Investor Class, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 1.06%, 1.81%, 1.31%, 0.81%, 1.06%,
0.81% and 0.81%, respectively, of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Invesco has also contractually
agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the net management fee that Invesco earns on the Fund’s
investments in certain affiliated funds, which will have the effect of reducing the Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Unless Invesco continues
the fee waiver agreements, they will terminate on December
31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively. During their terms, the fee waiver agreements cannot be terminated or amended
to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those
periods.
This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class
R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain
equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual
Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 44%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity securities and equity-linked notes designed
to generate high income while providing some downside protection in the event of broad equity market downturns and also providing equity
market upside participation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment
purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
Equity-linked notes (ELNs) are counted toward the foregoing 80% policy to the extent they have economic characteristics similar to the
securities included within that policy. The Fund uses various criteria to determine whether an issuer is a U.S. issuer, including whether
(i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) it
(alone or through its consolidated subsidiaries) derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from goods produced, sales made, or services
performed in the U.S.; (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, the U.S.; or (iv) its “country of
risk” is the U.S. as determined by a third party service provider such as Bloomberg.
The
Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity securities, including common and
preferred stock, and ELNs. The Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are trusts that sell equity and/or
debt
1 Invesco
Income Advantage U.S. Fund
securities
to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein. ELNs are hybrid derivative-type instruments that are
specially designed to combine the characteristics of investing in one or more underlying equity securities or an index of equity securities
and a related equity derivative, such as a put or call option, in a single note form (typically senior, unsecured debt) issued by financial
institutions. The Fund will invest in ELNs that reference either a broad-based equity security index or an exchange-traded fund that passively
tracks such an index. The Fund’s portfolio of ELNs will be constituted by positions in short-term ELNs issued by a diversified group
of U.S. and international financial institutions and cash and cash equivalents. The Fund’s investment in ELNs can represent up to
50% of the Fund’s net assets, but is expected to be in the range of 15% to 50%. The Fund’s investment in ELNs will be adjusted
periodically to achieve the Fund’s desired yield. The Fund’s investment in ELNs may result in significant exposure to the
financial services sector.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including equity index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market in connection with managing cash
balances. The Fund can hold long and short positions in equity index futures to hedge against adverse movements in the equity markets.
A long position involves the Fund buying a derivative with the anticipation of a price increase of the underlying asset, and a short position
involves the Fund writing (selling) a derivative with the anticipation of a price decrease of the underlying asset.
The
portfolio managers aim to construct a diversified portfolio that generates
high income while providing downside protection against broad equity market drawdowns and providing equity market upside participation.
The equity portion of the Fund's portfolio will be constructed using quantitative models that generate broad-based large-cap equity market
indices developed by Invesco's affiliate, Invesco Indexing LLC, or third-party index providers (the Equity portfolio). The indices will
be constructed based on factors to which the portfolio managers seek to gain market exposure, including but not limited to, momentum,
value, quality and low volatility. The factors and their relative weighting will change over time based on the portfolio managers' views
on the relative strength of each factor and market conditions. The equity portion of the portfolio will therefore change over time.
The
portfolio managers also seek to construct a portion of the Fund’s portfolio
in high-income, short-term ELNs with a focus on downside protection (the ELN portfolio). The portfolio managers seek to enhance portfolio
diversification by staggering the maturity dates of the ELNs to create more consistent returns over time. The portion of the ELN portfolio
maintained in cash and cash equivalents is aimed at providing additional downside protection by limiting the ELN portfolio’s exposure
to broad equity market risk. The portion of the Fund’s assets allocated between the Equity portfolio and ELN portfolio will be actively
adjusted on a periodic basis to balance yield targets, equity participation with less volatility, and downside protection.
As
part of the Fund's investment process to implement its investment strategy
in pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund's portfolio managers may also consider both qualitative and quantitative environmental,
social and governance (“ESG”) factors they believe to be material to understanding an issuer's fundamentals, assess whether
any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to the issuer and determine whether such risks are appropriately reflected
in the issuer’s valuation. This analysis may involve the use of third-party research as well as proprietary research. Consideration
of ESG factors is just one component of the portfolio managers' assessment of issuers eligible for investment and the Fund's portfolio
managers may still invest in securities of issuers that may be viewed as having a high ESG risk profile. The ESG factors considered by
the Fund's portfolio managers may change over time,
one or more factors may not be relevant with respect to all issuers
eligible for investment and ESG considerations may not be applied to all issuers or investments in the Fund.
The
Fund may hold up to 25% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, including
treasury bills and money market funds, outside of the ELN portfolio in an effort to maintain high liquidity and a downside buffer.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To
the extent that securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth
or value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting
the market for those types of securities.
Equity
Linked Notes Risk. ELNs may not perform as anticipated and could
cause the Fund to realize significant losses including its entire principal investment. Other risks include those of the underlying securities,
as well as counterparty risk, liquidity risk and imperfect correlation between ELNs and the underlying securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Shares of real estate related companies, which tend to be small- and mid-cap companies, may be more volatile and less liquid than larger
companies. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real
estate
2 Invesco
Income Advantage U.S. Fund
directly,
which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or
regulatory changes.
Financial
Services Sector Risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic
or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation
and are disproportionately affected by unstable interest rates, volatility in the financial markets, changes in domestic and foreign monetary
policy, and changes in industry regulations, each of which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services
companies may also have concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to unstable economic conditions.
Short
Position Risk. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short
position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the Fund will incur a loss on a short position, which is theoretically
unlimited, if the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. The counterparty to a short position or other market
factors may prevent the Fund from closing out a short position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result
in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that
do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both long and short positions, and both positions decline simultaneously, the short positions
will not provide any buffer (hedge) from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve
leverage, which may exaggerate any losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of
the Fund’s returns.
Quantitative
Models Risk. Quantitative models are based upon many factors that
measure individual securities relative to each other. Quantitative models may be highly reliant on the gathering, cleaning, culling and
analysis of large amounts of data from third parties and other external sources. Any errors or imperfections in the factors, or the data
on which measurements of those factors are based, could adversely affect the use of the quantitative models. The factors used in models
may not identify securities that perform well in the future, and the securities selected may perform differently from the market as a
whole or from their expected performance.
Cash/Cash
Equivalents Risk. In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents
will negatively affect the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark.
Money
Market Fund Risk. Although
money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money
market funds. A money market
fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The credit quality of a
money market fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on
the money market fund's share price. A money market fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption
pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant market volatility.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of the investment process to implement the Fund’s investment strategy in pursuit of its investment
objective may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every
investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The Fund’s portfolio will not be solely
based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the Fund invests may not be considered ESG-focused issuers. The incorporation
of ESG factors may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Fund may underperform
other funds that do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors or that use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors.
Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers
and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined
characteristic.
There is no guarantee that the evaluation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The market for
Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded
securities. Rule 144A and other exempt securities, which are also known as privately issued securities, carry the risk that their liquidity
may become impaired and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities
may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There
can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher
for restricted securities and such securities may be difficult to value and may have significant volatility.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance
of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. For periods prior to July 15, 2021, performance shown is that of the Fund using its previous
investment strategy. Therefore, the past performance shown for periods prior to July 15, 2021 may have differed had the Fund’s current
investment strategy been in effect. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based/style-specific
securities market benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of
the Fund (in that order).
The
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.

all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Income Advantage U.S. Fund
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is income and long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the
Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified
portfolio of equity securities and equity-linked notes designed to generate high income while providing some downside protection in the
event of broad equity market downturns and also providing equity market upside participation. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances,
at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers, and in derivatives and other
instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. Equity-linked notes (ELNs) are counted toward the foregoing
80% policy to the extent they have economic characteristics similar to the securities included within that policy. The Fund uses various
criteria to determine whether an issuer is a U.S. issuer, including whether (i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a U.S.
stock exchange, NASDAQ or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) it (alone or through its consolidated subsidiaries) derives 50%
or more of its annual revenue from goods produced, sales made, or services performed in the U.S.; (iii) it is organized under the laws
of, or has a principal office in, the U.S.; or (iv) its “country of risk” is the U.S. as determined by a third party service
provider such as Bloomberg. The issuer's “country of risk” is determined based on a number of criteria, including its country
of domicile, the primary stock exchange on which it trades, the location from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting
currency.
The
Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity securities, including common and
preferred stock, and ELNs. The Fund may also invest in REITs, which are trusts that sell equity and/or debt securities to investors and
use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein. ELNs are hybrid derivative-type instruments that are specially designed
to combine the characteristics of investing in one or more underlying equity securities or an index of equity securities and a related
equity derivative, such as a put or call option, in a single note form (typically senior, unsecured debt) issued by financial institutions.
The Fund will invest in ELNs that reference either a broad-based equity security index or an exchange-traded fund that passively tracks
such an index. The Fund’s portfolio of ELNs will be constituted by positions in short-term ELNs issued by a diversified group of
U.S. and international financial institutions and cash and cash equivalents. The Fund’s investment in ELNs can represent up to 50%
of the Fund’s net assets, but is expected to be in the range of 15% to 50%. The Fund’s investment in ELNs will be adjusted
periodically to achieve the Fund’s desired yield. The Fund’s investment in ELNs may result in significant exposure to the
financial services sector.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time, with both the purchaser and the seller
equally obligated to complete the transaction at that future time. The value of the futures contract tends to increase and decrease in
tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing
an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement
date. The futures contracts the Fund will enter into are traded (either domestically or internationally) on futures exchanges or certain
exempt markets including exempt boards of trade and electronic trading facilities. The Fund can use futures contracts, including equity
index futures, to gain exposure to the broad market in connection with managing cash balances. The Fund can hold long and short positions
in equity index futures to hedge against adverse movements in the equity
markets.
A long position involves the Fund buying a derivative with the anticipation of a price increase of the underlying asset, and a short position
involves the Fund writing (selling) a derivative with the anticipation of a price decrease of the underlying asset.
The
portfolio managers aim to construct a diversified portfolio that generates
high income while providing downside protection against broad equity market drawdowns and providing equity market upside participation.
The equity portion of the Fund's portfolio will be constructed using quantitative models that generate broad-based large-cap equity market
indices developed by Invesco's affiliate, Invesco Indexing LLC, or third-party index providers (the “Equity portfolio”). The
indices will be constructed based on factors to which the portfolio managers seek to gain market exposure, including but not limited to,
momentum, value, quality and low volatility. The factors and their relative weighting will change over time based on the portfolio managers'
views on the relative strength of each factor and market conditions. The equity portion of the portfolio will therefore change over time.
The
portfolio managers also seek to construct a portion of the Fund’s portfolio
in high-income, short-term ELNs with a focus on downside protection (the ELN portfolio). The portfolio managers seek to enhance portfolio
diversification by staggering the maturity dates of the ELNs to create more consistent returns over time. The portion of the ELN portfolio
maintained in cash and cash equivalents is aimed at providing additional downside protection by limiting the ELN portfolio’s exposure
to broad equity market risk. The portion of the Fund’s assets allocated between the Equity portfolio and ELN portfolio will be actively
adjusted on a periodic basis to balance yield targets, equity participation with less volatility, and downside protection.
As
part of the Fund's investment process to implement its investment strategy
in pursuit of its investment objective, the Fund's portfolio managers may also consider both qualitative and quantitative environmental,
social and governance (“ESG”) factors they believe to be material to understanding an issuer's fundamentals, assess whether
any ESG factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to the issuer and determine whether such risks are appropriately reflected
in the issuer’s valuation. This analysis may involve the use of third-party research as well as proprietary research. Consideration
of ESG factors is just one component of the portfolio managers' assessment of issuers eligible for investment and the Fund's portfolio
managers may still invest in securities of issuers that may be viewed as having a high ESG risk profile. The ESG factors considered by
the Fund's portfolio managers may change over time,
one or more factors may not be relevant with respect to all issuers
eligible for investment and ESG considerations may not be applied to each issuer or Fund investment.
The
Fund may hold up to 25% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, including
treasury bills and money market funds, outside of the ELN portfolio in an effort to maintain high liquidity and a downside buffer.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or
5 Invesco
Income Advantage U.S. Fund
section
of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market
conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes
in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse
investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual
issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition,
natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism or other
events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy
generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy.
During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can
be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may
have unexpected
negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move
in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Equity
Linked Notes Risk. Investments in ELNs are susceptible to the risks
of their underlying securities, which could include management risk, market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risks.
ELNs are also subject to certain debt securities risks, such as interest rate and credit risks. Should the prices of the underlying securities
move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of an investment in an ELN, and may realize losses, which
could be significant and could include the Fund's entire principal investment. An ELN investment is also subject to counterparty risk,
which is the risk that the issuer of the ELN will default or become bankrupt and the Fund may not be repaid the principal amount of, or
income from, its investment. ELNs may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell ELNs at
a desirable time or price. In addition, the price of ELNs may not correlate with the underlying securities or a fixed income investment.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and
other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may
be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk. Investments in real estate related instruments
may be adversely affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values, rents or occupancies.
Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures, tend to be small- and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile
and less liquid than larger companies. The value of investments in real estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management,
the ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants related thereto, whether the company carries adequate
insurance and environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults on certain types of debt obligations held by the Fund,
the Fund may acquire real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and
selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes.
Financial
Services Sector Risk. The Fund may be susceptible to adverse economic
or regulatory occurrences affecting the financial services sector. Financial services companies are subject to extensive government regulation
and, as a result, their profitability may be affected by new regulations or regulatory interpretations. Unstable interest rates, volatility
in the financial markets, changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy, and changes in industry regulations, can have a disproportionate
effect on
6 Invesco
Income Advantage U.S. Fund
companies
in the financial services sector which could adversely affect the profitability of such companies. Financial services companies whose
securities the Fund may purchase may themselves have concentrated portfolios, which makes them especially vulnerable to unstable economic
conditions.
Short
Position Risk. The Fund will incur a loss on a short position if
the price of the asset sold short increases from the short sale price. Because the Fund’s potential loss on a short position arises
from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the extent of such loss, like the price of the asset sold short, is theoretically
unlimited. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve greater reliance on the Adviser’s ability to accurately anticipate
the future value of an asset or markets in general. Any gain on a short position is decreased, and any loss is increased, by the amount
of any payment, dividend, interest or other transaction costs that the Fund may be required to pay with respect to the asset sold short.
The counterparty to a short position or market factors, such as a sharp increase in prices, may prevent the Fund from closing out a short
position at a desirable time or price and may reduce or eliminate any gain or result in a loss. In a rising market, the Fund’s short
positions will cause the Fund to underperform the overall market and its peers that do not engage in shorting. If the Fund holds both
long and short positions, both positions may decline simultaneously, in which case the short positions will not provide any buffer (hedge)
from declines in value of the Fund’s long positions. Certain types of short positions involve leverage, which may exaggerate any
losses, potentially more than the actual cost of the investment, and will increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns.
Quantitative
Models Risk. Quantitative models are based upon many factors that
measure individual securities relative to each other. Quantitative models may be highly reliant on the gathering, cleaning, culling and
analysis of large amounts of data from third parties and other external sources. Any errors or imperfections in the factors, or the data
on which measurements of those factors are based, could adversely affect the use of the quantitative models. The factors used in models
may not identify securities that perform well in the future, and the securities selected may perform differently from the market as a
whole or from their expected performance.
Cash/Cash
Equivalents Risk. To the extent the Fund holds cash or cash equivalents
rather than securities or other instruments in which it primarily invests, the Fund risks losing opportunities to participate in market
appreciation and may experience potentially lower returns than the Fund’s benchmark or other funds that remain fully invested.
Money
Market Fund Risk. Although money market funds generally seek to
preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market fund's
sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The credit quality of a money market fund's holdings
can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund's share
price. A money market fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets
and/or significant market volatility. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other government agencies continue to review
the regulation of money market funds. As of the date of this prospectus, the SEC has proposed changes to the rules that govern money market
funds. These changes and developments, if implemented, may affect the investment strategies, performance, yield, operating expenses and
continued viability of a fund.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of the investment process to implement the Fund’s investment strategy in pursuit of its investment
objective may vary across types of investments and issuers eligible for investment, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated
for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The Fund’s portfolio will not
be solely based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the Fund invests may not be considered ESG-focused issuers.
The incorporation of ESG factors may
affect
the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Fund may underperform other funds that
do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors as part of the investment process or that use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate
ESG factors. As investors can differ in their views regarding ESG factors, the Fund may invest in issuers that do not reflect the views
with respect to ESG of any particular investor. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete
or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic, which could negatively impact
the Fund’s ability to apply its methodology, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee that
the evaluation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used
7 Invesco
Income Advantage U.S. Fund
as
margin. Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make
delivery of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The Fund may
invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities are also known as privately issued securities, and typically may be resold
only to qualified institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited
quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Although
such securities may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, if there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular
time, the Fund may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable time or price. As a result, the Fund’s investment in such
securities may be subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A securities may require their qualified institutional
buyers (such as the Fund) to keep certain offering information confidential, which could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to sell
such securities.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities
may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There
can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher
for restricted securities. Also, restricted securities may be difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available,
and the securities may have significant volatility. In addition, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted
security and therefore may be less able to predict a loss.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the
attractiveness,
relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience
losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment
decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment
strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve
its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps
markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies
or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.51% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.

Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, monthly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

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

12 Invesco
Income Advantage U.S. Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A

The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.

following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers

not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):

◾

at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or

◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾

current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.

Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.

may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.

shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.

addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾

dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;

purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer

redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Breakpoint

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)

to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative

Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:

The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 58%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under
normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in loans made
to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities, and in derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund may invest directly in loans (as an original lender or by assignment
from a lender) or indirectly in loans through loan participation agreements or certain derivative instruments. The Fund will invest in
floating (sometimes referred to as “adjustable”) rate loans that pay interest at rates that float above, or are
adjusted
periodically based on a benchmark that reflects current interest rates, such as the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks
(referred to as the “Prime Rate”). The Fund may also invest in loans with fixed interest rates. While many of these loans
will be collateralized, the Fund can invest in uncollateralized loans. The Fund has no limits as to the maturity of loans in which it
invests or as to the market capitalization range of the borrowers.
The
Fund can invest without limit in loans that are below investment grade
(sometimes referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities). “Investment-grade” debt instruments
are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s
or S&P Global Ratings (S&P) (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund’s Adviser to be comparable to
securities rated investment-grade). The Fund may also invest in unrated loans, in which case the Fund’s Adviser may assign ratings
to those instruments, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories
similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s
credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
The Fund may invest in such unrated loans whether or not determined by the Adviser to be investment grade. The Fund can invest in loans
made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. The Fund may invest in defaulted or distressed loans and loans to bankrupt companies.
The
Fund may invest in floating rate loans that hold (or in the judgment of
the Adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities
that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation.
These investments are referred to as “Senior Loans.” Senior Loans may be collateralized or uncollateralized. They typically
pay interest at rates that float above, or are adjusted periodically based on, a benchmark that reflects current interest rates. The Fund
can invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of the group of industries in the financial securities sector. The Fund can invest
up to 20% of its total assets in equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, and securities convertible
into common stock).
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
(i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign
currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund
can use currency futures and currency swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies.
When
selecting loans for investment, the Fund’s Adviser performs its own
analysis based on information obtained from agents that originate or administer loans, other lenders, and ratings organizations, among
other sources. The Adviser’s analysis may consider various factors, such as the borrower’s past and projected financial performance;
the borrower’s assets and cash flows; the quality and depth of the borrower’s management; the credit quality of the collateral
or other debt security, if any; the state of the borrower’s industry and its position in that industry; the market for loans generally;
the credit quality of the debt obligations of the bank servicing the loan and other intermediaries imposed between the borrower and the
Fund. The credit research process utilized by the Fund to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective considers
factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and environmental, social and governance
(“ESG”) considerations. Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a
material financial risk or opportunity to an issuer. The Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers
or types of investments held by the Fund. In addition, not all issuers or Fund
1 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
investments
may undergo a credit quality analysis that considers ESG factors,
and not all investments held by the Fund will rate strongly on
ESG criteria. The Adviser will continue to monitor the credit quality of loans in its portfolio and the status of the applicable borrowers
for the duration of the Fund’s investment.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans Risk. Risks associated with an investment
in Senior Loans include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically
associated with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited public information regarding Senior Loans. Senior
Loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts
periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular
trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell Senior Loans
within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended
trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other
investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding Senior Loans is also directly
tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. The value of Senior Loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes
in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. Senior loans are also subject to the risk that a court
could subordinate a senior loan or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Loans are subject to the risk that the
value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult
to liquidate. Loan investments are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions which are subject to greater credit risks
than other investments including a greater possibility that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy. Highly leveraged loans also
may be less liquid than other loans. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in
turn could affect the Fund’s returns.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments
on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer
or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s
financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the
value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt
security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible
to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities
tend to be very volatile.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. Regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify alternative
reference rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with the transition,
on March 5,
2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator that oversees LIBOR,
announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published
or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Consequently,
the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021,
but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly
transition away from these rates. Additionally,
key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease
entering into new contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings
after December 31,
2021,
subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition
and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example, there can be no assurance that the composition
or characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the
same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators
have generally prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue
to exist, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered
into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments
when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held
by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Defaulted
Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that
principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. Defaulted
2 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
securities
and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale.
Concentration
in Financial Securities Sector Risk. The Fund will not concentrate
its investments in issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in instruments of the group of industries
in the financial securities sector. Financial securities industries may be more susceptible to particular economic and regulatory events
such as volatility in the financial markets and interest rates, changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy, and changes in industry
regulations.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption
of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations
than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible
to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the
risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or
other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Warrants may be significantly less valuable
or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early, resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are
similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants
have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly
volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the underlying security might be. The market
for rights
or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market values of convertible securities are
affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying
common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of
market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary
conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an
increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
Warrants,
Equity Securities and Junior Debt Securities of the Borrower Risk.
Warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities have a subordinate claim on a Borrower’s assets as compared with Senior Loans.
As a result, the values of warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities generally are more dependent on the financial condition
of the Borrower and less dependent on fluctuations in interest rates than are the values of many debt securities. The values of warrants,
equity securities and junior debt securities may be more volatile than those of Senior Loans and thus may increase the volatility of the
Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, warrants may be significantly less valuable on their relevant expiration date resulting in
a loss of money or they may expire worthless resulting in a total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be postponed or terminated
early resulting in a partial or total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be illiquid.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid
during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely
pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
Borrowing
Risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage
and will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease
in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Borrowing money may also require the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not
be advantageous to do so. In
3 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
addition,
the Fund will incur interest expenses and other fees on borrowed money. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s borrowing strategy
will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s returns.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Fund's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment,
and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The incorporation of ESG factors as part of a credit analysis
may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. Information used to evaluate such
factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers. There is no guarantee that the
incorporation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization consummated after the close
of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations.
The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance
table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional
index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.
The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
Class
R6 shares’ returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May
24, 2019 are those of the Class A shares of the predecessor fund.

Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles. You may purchase,
redeem or exchange shares of the Fund on any business day through your financial adviser or by telephone at 800-959-4246. There is no
minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers
at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial
investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million
in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund intends to operate as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Fund generally will not be subject to any federal
income tax but each investor will take into account its allocated share of the Fund’s income, capital gains, losses, deductions
and credits in determining its income tax liability.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the
4 Invesco Master

broker-dealer
or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or
financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the
Board) without shareholder approval.
Under
normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets
(including borrowings for investment purposes) in loans made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other
business entities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund may
invest in loans in one or more of three ways: it may invest directly in a loan by acting as an original lender; it may invest directly
in a loan by purchasing a loan by an assignment; or it may invest indirectly in a loan by purchasing a participation interest in a loan.
The Fund may also gain exposure to loans indirectly using certain derivative instruments. The Fund can invest in loans, generally “at
par” (a price for the loan equal approximately to 100% of the funded principal amount of the loan, minus any original issue discount)
as an original lender. When the Fund is an original lender, it is entitled to receive a return at the full interest rate for the loan.
The Fund may purchase a loan by assignment. In a loan assignment, the Fund typically succeeds to the rights and obligations of the assigning
lender under the loan agreement and becomes a “lender” under that agreement, entitled to the same rights (including, but not
limited to, enforcement or set-off rights) that are available to lenders generally. The Fund’s investment in participation interests
represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan or have
become members of the loan syndicate by purchasing the loan by assignment. The Fund will invest in floating (sometimes referred to as
“adjustable”) rate loans that pay interest at rates that float above, or are adjusted periodically based on, a benchmark that
reflects current interest rates, such as the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (referred to as the “Prime Rate”).
The Fund may also invest in loans with fixed interest rates. While many of these loans will be collateralized, the Fund can invest in
uncollateralized loans. The Fund has no limits as to the maturity of loans in which it invests or as to the market capitalization range
of the borrowers.
The
Fund can invest without limit in loans that are below investment grade
(sometimes referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities). “Investment-grade” debt instruments
are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s
or S&P Global Ratings (S&P) (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund’s Adviser to be comparable to
securities rated investment-grade). The Fund may also invest in unrated loans, in which case the Fund’s Adviser may assign ratings
to those instruments, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories
similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s
credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
The Fund may invest in such unrated loans whether or not determined by the Adviser to be investment grade. The Fund can invest in loans
made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. The Fund may invest in defaulted or distressed loans and loans to bankrupt companies.
The
Fund may invest in floating rate loans that hold (or in the judgment of
the investment adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships or other business
entities that,
under
normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These
investments are referred to as “Senior Loans.” Senior Loans may be collateralized or uncollateralized. They typically pay
interest at rates that float above, or are adjusted periodically based on, a benchmark that reflects current interest rates. The Fund
can invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of the group of industries in the financial securities sector. The Fund can invest
up to 20% of its total assets in equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, and securities convertible
into common stock).
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
(i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign
currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund
can use currency futures and currency swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies. The Fund may use interest rate swap agreements
and other hedging practices to mitigate fluctuations in value when the interest rate under the loan is periodically reset.
When
selecting loans for investment, the Fund’s Adviser performs its own
analysis based on information obtained from agents that originate or administer loans, other lenders, and ratings organizations, among
other sources. The Adviser’s analysis may consider various factors, such as the borrower’s past and projected financial performance;
the borrower’s assets and cash flows; the quality and depth of the borrower’s management; the credit quality of the collateral
or other debt security, if any; the state of the borrower’s industry and its position in that industry; and the market for loans
generally; the credit quality of the debt obligations of the bank servicing the loan and other intermediaries imposed between the borrower
and the Fund. The credit research process utilized by the Fund to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
considers factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and environmental, social
and governance (“ESG”) considerations. Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG
factors pose a material financial risk or opportunity to an issuer. The Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material
to certain issuers or types of investments held by the Fund. In addition, not all issuers or Fund investments may undergo a credit quality
analysis that considers ESG factors, and not all investments held by
the Fund will rate strongly on ESG criteria. The Adviser will continue
to monitor the credit quality of loans in its portfolio and the status of the applicable borrowers for the duration of the Fund’s
investment. There can be no assurance that the Adviser’s analysis will identify all of the factors that may impair the value of
a loan or other investment.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market
5 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
conditions
that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general
outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse investor
sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual issuer
or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, natural
or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism or other events
may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally.
Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. During a
general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance
that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.

The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans Risk. There are a number of risks associated
with an investment in Senior Loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically
associated with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited public information regarding Senior Loans. Senior
Loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts
periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular
trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell Senior Loans
within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended
trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available
to the
Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations.
The risk of holding Senior Loans is also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. The value of Senior
Loans can be affected by, and is sensitive to, changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.
These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns.
In
addition to the risks typically associated with debt securities, senior loans
are also subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan, which typically holds a senior position in the capital structure
of a borrower, to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Loans usually
have mandatory and optional prepayment provisions. If a borrower prepays a loan, the Fund will have to reinvest the proceeds in other
loans or financial assets that may pay lower rates of return.
Loans
are subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing
a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default,
the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized
loan. In addition, the lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security under the loan agreement may be found by
a court to be invalid or the collateral may be used to pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower. The Fund’s access to collateral,
if any, may be limited by bankruptcy, other insolvency laws, or by the type of loan the Fund has purchased. As a result, a collateralized
loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value.
Loan
investments are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions.
Such transactions include leveraged buyout loans, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. These obligations
are subject to greater credit risks than other investments including a greater possibility that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy.
Highly leveraged loans also may be less liquid than other loans. If the Fund voluntarily or involuntarily sold those types of loans, it
might not receive the full value it expected.
Due
to restrictions on transfers in loan agreements and the nature of the
private syndication of loans including, for example, the lack of publicly-available information, some loans are not as easily purchased
or sold as publicly-traded securities. Some loans are illiquid, which may make it difficult for the Fund to value them or dispose of them
at an acceptable price when it wants to. Additionally, valuation of Senior Loans may require greater research due to limited public information
available and elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation since there may be a lack of objective data available. The market
price of investments in floating rate loans is expected to be less affected by changes in interest rates than fixed-rate investments because
floating rate loans pay a floating rate of interest that will fluctuate as market interest rates do and therefore should more closely
track market movements in interest rates.
Direct
investments in loans and, to a lesser degree, investments in participation
interests in or assignments of loans may be limited. A limited availability of loans could reduce the amount of attractive investments
for the Fund. If market demand for loans increases, the interest paid by loans that the Fund holds may decrease. Due to the possible limited
availability of loans in the market at a given time in which the Fund can invest, there is a risk that the Fund may not be able to invest
a sufficient amount in loans at all times to meet its 80% asset investment requirement (including borrowings for investment purposes).
Compared
to securities and to certain other types of financial assets, purchases
and sales of loans take relatively longer to settle. This extended settlement process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne
by the Fund; (ii) leave the Fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay
the Fund from realizing the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit the Fund’s ability to re-sell a loan
6 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
that it
has agreed to purchase if conditions change (leaving the Fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent the Fund from timely collecting
principal and interest payments; and (vi) expose the Fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences. To the extent the extended loan settlement
process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, such as the need to satisfy redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash, sell investments
or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders. If the Fund undertakes such measures, the Fund’s ability to pay redemption proceeds
in a timely manner, as well as the Fund’s performance, may be adversely affected.
If
the Fund invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund will be exposed to
the ongoing counterparty risk of the entity providing exposure to the loan (and, in certain circumstances, such entity’s credit
risk) in addition to the exposure the Fund has to the creditworthiness of the borrower. The terms of the participation may not entitle
the Fund to all rights of a direct lender under the loan (for example, with respect to consent, voting or enforcement rights). Therefore,
the Fund’s rights under a participation interest for a particular loan may be more limited than the rights of the original lender
or an investor who acquires an assignment of that loan. Where the Fund invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund generally will
have no right of direct recourse against the borrower or ability to otherwise directly enforce the terms of the loan agreement.
In
certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and
in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of the anti-fraud provisions
of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual
provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest
or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s
perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s
credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to
sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. In the
years
following the 2008 financial crisis, the integrity of LIBOR was increasingly questioned because several banks contributing to its calculation
were accused of rate manipulation and because of a general contraction in the unsecured interbank lending market. As a result, regulators
and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify alternative reference
rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with the transition, on March
5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would
cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Consequently, the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased
at the end of 2021, but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly transition
away from these rates. Additionally, key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease entering into new contracts that reference
these USD LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR
transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example,
there can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics
of any ARRs or financial instruments
in
which the Fund
invests that
utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic
equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators have generally
prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist,
there remains
uncertainty and risks relating to certain
“legacy”
USD LIBOR
instruments that were issued or entered into before December
31,
2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will
be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR
is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to
the Fund.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in
central bank policies
could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders,
which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Defaulted
Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that
principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on defaulted securities
and may incur costs to protect its investment. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may
be subject to restrictions on resale. Investments in defaulted securities and obligations of distressed issuers are considered speculative
and the prices of these securities may be more volatile than non-defaulted securities.
Credit
Quality Risk. The Fund can invest in securities that are rated
or unrated. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s or S&P (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the investment
adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). “Below-investment-grade” securities are those that are rated
below those categories, which are also referred to as “junk bonds.” While securities rated within the fourth highest category
by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,”
they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have
7 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
assigned
different ratings to a security, the investment adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Credit
ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal
payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change from time
to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer. Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations.
In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings
by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s
ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research
and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial
strength of the insurer. The rating categories are described in an Appendix to the SAI.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable
price.
In
evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated,
the investment adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors such as, if applicable, the financial resources of the
issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends,
any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities
of the issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A
reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require
the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the investment adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to
keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Concentration
in Financial Securities Sector Risk. The Fund will not concentrate
its investments in issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in instruments of the group of industries
in the financial securities sector. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others. The Securities and
Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry
constitutes concentration in that industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund will consider, to the extent practicable, the concentration of the portfolio securities of any
underlying investment companies in which it may invest when determining compliance with its concentration policy.
The
Fund regards the “issuer” of a loan as including the borrower under the
loan agreement, the agent bank and any intermediate participant. The Fund may look to the creditworthiness of the agent bank and other
intermediate participants in a loan, in addition to the borrower. That is because it may be necessary to assert through the agent bank
or intermediate participant any rights that may exist under the loan against the borrower if the borrower defaults. Those parties typically
are commercial banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies and finance companies (and
their
holding companies). The Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these financial institutions. Companies in the financial securities
industries may be more susceptible to particular economic and regulatory events such as fluctuations in interest rates, changes in the
monetary policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, governmental regulations concerning those industries and affecting
capital raising activities and fluctuations in the financial markets.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also involve
the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign
companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing
and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information
about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies.
The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank,
depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country
or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to
time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater
risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities
risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such
foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange
rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance,
currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or
8 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
value
stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market
for those types of securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and
other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may
be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Rights and warrants may be purchased directly
or acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period
of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to, and is generally more volatile than, the price of the underlying
security. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early,
resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly
by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the
underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
Warrants,
Equity Securities and Junior Debt Securities of the Borrower Risk.
Warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities have a subordinate claim on a Borrower’s assets as compared with Senior Loans.
As a result, the values of warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities generally are more dependent on the financial condition
of the Borrower and less dependent on fluctuations in interest rates than are the values of many debt securities. The values of warrants,
equity securities and junior debt securities may be more volatile than those of Senior Loans and thus may increase the volatility of the
Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, warrants may be significantly less valuable on their relevant expiration date
resulting
in a loss of money or they may expire worthless resulting in a total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be postponed or terminated
early resulting in a partial or total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be illiquid.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Forward
Contracts Risk. The projection of short-term currency market movements
is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. The precise matching of the
amounts under forward contracts and the value of the
9 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
securities
involved generally will not be possible because the future value of securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence
of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it is sold. Investments in forward contracts involve
the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses on these contracts and
to pay additional transaction costs.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Swap
Transactions Risk. Under U.S. financial reform legislation enacted
in 2010, certain types of swaps are required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central clearing house counterparty,
which may entail further risks and costs for the Fund. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and
may be entered into as a bilateral contract or may be centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution
of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing to a central clearing house counterparty, and the Fund faces the central
clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures commission merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to
a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise
restricted from trading. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s
securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly
reduced prices.
Borrowing
Risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage
because the Fund seeks to achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Borrowing
will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in
the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The Fund may also be required to liquidate
positions
when it may not be advantageous to do so in order to repay borrowed money when due. In addition, the Fund will incur interest expenses
and other fees on borrowed money. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s borrowing strategy will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s
returns.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Fund's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
may vary, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated
for ESG considerations. The incorporation of ESG factors as part of a credit analysis may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain
issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Fund may underperform other funds that do not incorporate ESG factors or that
use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. Information used to evaluate such factors may not be readily available,
complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic, which could negatively
impact the ability to accurately assess credit quality, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee
that the incorporation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other
investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance
of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser,
as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Invesco
Senior Secured Management, Inc. (Invesco Senior Secured) serves
as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser. Invesco Senior Secured, an affiliate of the Adviser, is located at 225 Liberty Street, New
York, New York 10281. Invesco Senior Secured has experience managing senior secured loans dating back to 1990. Invesco Senior Secured
manages a broad array of portfolio types including retail mutual funds, commingled institutional funds, separate accounts and structured
products for a variety of retail and institutional investors (both public and private). Invesco Senior Secured provides portfolio management
services to the Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or
10 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
unaffiliated
sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory
agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without shareholder
approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers
and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory fees paid by
the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including
the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps
markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies
or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.28% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after
fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund
under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
Invesco,
not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.

Tax
Consequences
The

income tax. Based upon the status of the Fund as a partnership, each investor will take into account its allocated share of the Fund’s
income, capital gains, losses, deductions and credits in determining its income tax liability, without regard to whether it has distributed
or will distribute any amount to its investors. The determination of an investor’s share of the Fund’s income, capital gains,
losses, deductions and credits will be made in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and regulations promulgated
thereunder.
11 Invesco Master
Loan Fund
The financial
highlights information presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund
after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial history
for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the Fund or predecessor fund.
The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s financial performance.
Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information
for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available
upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor.

Loan Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)

Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾

who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾

assets of at least $1 million; or
◾

at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.

Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.

Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For

employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
◾
Class
A shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund

The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional

Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information

Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.

you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾

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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.

Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.

the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the
Adviser) has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class R6 shares to
0.29% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “expense limit”). Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement,
it will terminate on December
31, 2023. During its term, the fee waiver agreement cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limit without
approval of the Board of Trustees.
Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or
Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal
year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities represented
in the Underlying Index and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Underlying
Index includes securities of 100 of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
based on market capitalization.
The
Underlying Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted (a hybrid
between equal weighting and conventional capitalization weighting) index that reflects companies from all major sectors, except for companies
that are classified as
“financials” according
to the
Industry Classification Benchmark (“ICB”), a product of FTSE International Limited. Security types generally eligible for
inclusion in the Underlying Index are common stocks, ordinary shares, tracking stocks, and American depositary receipts that represent
securities of non-U.S. issuers. Companies organized as Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are not eligible for inclusion
in the Underlying Index.
The
Underlying Index is typically reweighted quarterly and rebalanced annually.
At the annual weight adjustment, no security may exceed 14% of the Underlying Index. At the quarterly weight adjustment, no issuer may
exceed 24% of the weight of the Underlying Index. The Fund is generally reweighted and rebalanced in accordance with the Underlying Index.
In
seeking to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the
Underlying Index, the portfolio managers primarily utilize a “full replication” methodology, pursuant to which the Fund generally
invests in all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings in the Underlying Index.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
The Fund can use exchange-traded futures contracts, including index futures, to gain exposure to equity securities represented in the
Underlying Index while managing cash balances.
The
Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as
the Underlying Index is diversified. The Fund may be “non-diversified,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940
Act), solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying
Index. As a “non-diversified” fund, the Fund can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or
in any one issuer than a diversified fund can. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified
status due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index.
As of August 31, 2022, the Underlying Index is non-diversified, and therefore as of that same date, the Fund is managed as non-diversified
solely in accordance with the Underlying Index.
The
Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of the
value of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries only to the extent that the Underlying
Index reflects a concentration in that industry or group of industries. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities
of issuers in any one industry or group of industries. As of August 31, 2022, the Fund had significant exposure to the information technology
sector. The Fund’s portfolio holdings, and the extent to which it concentrates, are likely to change over time.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
1 Invesco
NASDAQ 100 Index Fund
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other
types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize
an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security
unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.
Additionally, the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the
Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.
Industry
Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, the Underlying
Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers operating in a single industry or group of
industries. To the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries,
the Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or group
of industries, the Fund faces more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or groups of industries. Such industry-based
risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which the Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to, legislative or
regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition within the industry or group of industries. In addition, at
times, such industry or group of industries may be out of favor and underperform other industries, groups of industries or the market
as a whole.
Technology
Sector Risk. Technology companies are subject to intense competition,
rapid obsolescence of their products, issues with obtaining financing or regulatory approvals, product incompatibility, changing consumer
preferences, increased government scrutiny, high required
corporate
capital expenditure for research and development or infrastructure and development of new products, each of which make the prices of securities
issued by these companies more volatile. Technology companies are also heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights,
and the loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the company's profitability.
Non-Diversification
Risk. Under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), a fund designated as “diversified” must limit its holdings such that the securities
of issuers which individually represent more than 5% of its total assets must in the aggregate represent less than 25% of its total assets.
The Fund is “diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act. However, in seeking to track its Underlying Index, the Fund may be
“non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting
of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. A non-diversified fund can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations
or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. In such circumstances, a change in the value
of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same
risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation
to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of
such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign
issuer.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Non-Correlation
Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying
Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs
in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing and reconstituting the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes
in the composition of the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation
differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity
constraints.

Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
You
may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund on any business day through your financial adviser or by telephone at 800-959-4246.
There
is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it
invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million
in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund’s distributor or its related
companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest
by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the Nasdaq-100 Index®
(the “Underlying Index”).
The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees
(the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities represented in the Underlying Index and in derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. This policy may be changed by the Board, but no change is anticipated.
If the Fund’s policy changes, the Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days prior to implementation of the change.
The
Underlying Index includes securities of 100 of the largest domestic and
international nonfinancial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC based on market capitalization. Non-financial companies are
all companies except for those classified as “financials” according to ICB, a product of FTSE International Limited. The Underlying
Index reflects companies across major industry groups, including computer hardware and software, telecommunications, retail/wholesale
trade, and biotechnology. It excludes financial companies, including investment companies. Security types generally eligible for inclusion
in the Underlying Index are common stocks, ordinary shares, tracking stocks, and American depositary receipts that represent securities
of non-U.S. issuers. Companies organized as REITs are not eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index. There is no minimum market capitalization
requirement for inclusion in the Underlying Index.
To
be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a security must meet additional
criteria, including:
◾
the
security must have a minimum three-month average daily trading volume of 200,000 shares;
◾
the
security may not be issued by an issuer currently in bankruptcy proceedings;

◾
if
the issuer of the security is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the U.S., then such security must have listed options
on a recognized options market in the U.S. or be eligible for listed-options trading on a recognized options market in the U.S.;
◾
the
issuer of the security generally may not have entered into a definitive agreement or other arrangement that would make it ineligible for
Index inclusion and where the transaction is imminent as determined by Nasdaq, Inc. (the “Index Provider”);
◾
if
an issuer has listed multiple security classes, all security classes are eligible, subject to meeting all other eligibility criteria;

security must have traded for at least three full calendar months, not including the month of initial listing, on an eligible exchange
(such as The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American or CBOE BZX) and is determined as of the constituent selection
reference date, including that month.
The
Underlying Index is typically rebalanced annually after the close of trading
on the third Friday in December. To be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index, a security must meet the above eligibility criteria
based on market data as of the end of October and total shares outstanding as of the end of November. The Underlying Index is calculated
under a “modified market capitalization-weighted” methodology, which is a hybrid between equal weighting and conventional
capitalization weighting. At the annual weight adjustment, no security may exceed 14% of the Underlying Index. At the quarterly weight
adjustment, no issuer may exceed 24% of the weight of the Underlying Index. As of October 31, 2022, the Underlying Index was comprised
of 102 constituents with market capitalizations ranging from $8.9 billion to $2.4 trillion.
The
Underlying Index is typically reweighted quarterly in March, June, September
and December after the close of trading on the third Friday in those respective months. The reweighting process uses data regarding the
total outstanding shares and last sale price of all component securities as of the end of the month prior to the reweighting (i.e., February,
May, August and November). However, a special rebalance may be conducted at any time if it is determined to be necessary to maintain the
integrity of the Underlying Index. In addition, securities may be added to or removed from the Underlying Index outside of a scheduled
rebalance in certain situations, including, for example, if the Index Provider determines that a security has or will undergo a fundamental
alteration that would make it ineligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index. Furthermore, certain corporate actions and events of issuers
in the Underlying Index may require maintenance and adjustments to the Underlying Index.
The
Fund is generally rebalanced and reweighted in accordance with the
Underlying Index.
In
seeking to track the investment results (before fees and expenses) of the
Underlying Index, the portfolio managers primarily utilize a “full replication” methodology pursuant to which the Fund generally
invests in all of the securities comprising its Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as the weightings of the securities
in the Underlying Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of those securities
in those same weightings. In those circumstances, the portfolio managers may purchase a sample of securities in its Underlying Index.
A
“sampling” methodology means that the portfolio managers use a quantitative
analysis to select securities from the Underlying Index universe to obtain a representative sample of securities that have, in the aggregate,
investment characteristics similar to the Underlying Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics.
These include industry weightings, market capitalization, return variability, earnings valuation, yield and other financial characteristics
of securities. When employing a sampling methodology, the portfolio managers base the quantity of holdings in the Fund on a number of
factors, including asset size of the Fund, and generally expects the Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the Underlying
Index. However, the portfolio
managers
reserve the right to invest the Fund in as many securities as they believe necessary to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.
There
also may be instances in which the Adviser may choose to (i) overweight
or underweight a security in the Underlying Index, (ii) purchase securities not contained in the Underlying Index that the Adviser believes
are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Underlying Index, or (iii) utilize various combinations of other available
investment techniques in seeking to track the Underlying Index.
The
Fund may sell securities included in the Underlying Index in anticipation
of their removal from the Underlying Index, or purchase securities not included in the Underlying Index in anticipation of their addition
to the Underlying Index.
The
Fund can use exchange-traded futures contracts, including index futures,
to gain exposure to equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances. For example, the Fund may receive
cash as a result of a shareholder purchase prior to its periodic rebalancing; instead of holding the cash until the next rebalancing of
the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers may purchase index futures to maintain exposure to securities included in the Underlying
Index. When the Fund’s portfolio is rebalanced, the index futures would be sold and the resulting cash would be invested in securities
included in the Underlying Index.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of a futures contract tends
to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser
and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are
settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement
amount on the settlement date.
The
Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as
the Underlying Index is diversified. The Fund may be “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of
a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. As a “non-diversified”
fund, the Fund can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or in any one issuer than a diversified fund
can. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status due solely to a change in
the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. As of August 31, 2022, the
Underlying Index is non-diversified, and therefore as of that same date, the Fund is managed as non-diversified solely in accordance with
the Underlying Index.
The
Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of the
value of its net assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries only to the extent that the Underlying Index
reflects a concentration in that industry or group of industries. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities
of issuers in any one industry or group of industries. As of August 31, 2022, the Fund had significant exposure to the information technology
sector. The Fund’s portfolio holdings, and the extent to which it concentrates, are likely to change over time.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Fund and Its Investments and
Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
4 Invesco
NASDAQ 100 Index Fund
rapidly
or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole.
The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the
particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings,
changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s
investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes
in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease
or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of
the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Because the Fund is passively managed, such
circumstances may also impact the Fund to a greater degree than mutual funds with investment advisers that actively manage their portfolio
assets to take advantage of or defend against market events. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those
of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes
may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many investment companies that are “actively
managed,” the Fund is a “passive” investor and therefore does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in
excess of the Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added to or removed
from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. If a specific security is removed from the
Underlying Index, the Fund may be forced to sell such security at an inopportune time or for a price lower than the security’s current
market value. The Underlying Index may not contain the appropriate mix of securities for any particular economic cycle. Additionally,
the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s
rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule. Further, unlike with an actively
managed fund, the Adviser does not use techniques or defensive strategies designed to lessen the impact of periods of market volatility
or market decline. This means that, based on certain market and economic conditions, the Fund’s performance could be lower than
other types of mutual funds with investment advisers that actively manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of or defend against
market events.
Industry
Concentration Risk. In following its methodology, the Underlying
Index from time to time may be concentrated to a significant degree in securities of issuers operating in a single industry or group of
industries. To the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries,
the Fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or group
of industries, the Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or groups of industries. Such
industry-based risks, any of which may adversely affect the companies in which the Fund invests, may include, but are not limited to legislative
or regulatory changes, adverse market conditions and/or increased competition within the industry or group of industries. In addition,
at times, such industry or group of industries may be out of favor and underperform other industries, groups of industries or the market
as a whole. Information about the Fund’s exposure to a particular industry or group of industries will be available in the Fund’s
Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to Shareholders, as well as on required forms filed with the SEC.
Technology
Sector Risk. Technology companies are subject to intense competition
and their products are at risk of rapid obsolescence, which make the prices of securities issued by these companies particularly volatile.
Product obsolescence can result from rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth
rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Factors
5 Invesco
NASDAQ 100 Index Fund
that may
also significantly affect the market value of securities of issuers in the technology sector include the failure to obtain, or delays
in obtaining, financing or regulatory approvals, product incompatibility, changing consumer preferences, increased government scrutiny,
high required corporate capital expenditure for research and development or infrastructure and development of new products. Technology
companies are also heavily dependent on patent and other intellectual property rights, and the loss or impairment of these rights may
adversely affect the company's profitability.
Non-Diversification
Risk. Under the 1940 Act, a fund designated as “diversified”
must limit its holdings such that the securities of issuers which individually represent more than 5% of its total assets must in the
aggregate represent less than 25% of its total assets. The Fund is “diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act. However, in
seeking to track its Underlying Index, the Fund may be “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of
a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index. A non-diversified fund
can invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified
fund can. In such circumstances, a change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the
Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks
as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts,
particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the
holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. The Fund may therefore
receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign issuer.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments
can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions becoming a larger
percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Non-Correlation
Risk. The Fund’s returns may not match the return of the
Underlying Index (that is, it may experience tracking error) for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses
not applicable to the Underlying Index and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s
securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index. To the extent that the Fund has recently commenced
operations and/or otherwise has a relatively small amount of assets, such transaction costs could have a proportionally greater impact
on the Fund. Additionally, if the Fund uses a sampling approach, it may result in returns for the Fund that are not as well-correlated
with the return of the Underlying Index as would be the case
6 Invesco
NASDAQ 100 Index Fund
if the
Fund purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the proportions represented in the Underlying Index.
The
performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset
valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs
or liquidity constraints. The Fund’s transactions, which are principally in cash and therefore could be subject to incurring higher
costs in buying or selling securities, may also contribute to tracking error. The Fund may fair value certain of the securities it holds.
To the extent the Fund calculates its NAV based on fair value prices, the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely
affected. Since the Underlying Index is not subject to the tax diversification requirements to which the Fund must adhere, the Fund may
be required to deviate its investments from the securities contained in, and relative weightings of, the Underlying Index. The Fund may
not invest in certain securities included in the Underlying Index due to liquidity constraints. Liquidity constraints also may delay the
Fund’s purchase or sale of securities included in the Underlying Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities
to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Underlying Index.
The
Fund generally attempts to remain fully invested in the constituents of
the Underlying Index. However, the Adviser may not fully invest the Fund at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund, to
retain a reserve of cash to meet redemptions and expenses, or because of low assets (particularly when the Fund is new and has operated
only for a short period).
The
investment activities of one or more of the Adviser’s affiliates, including
other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd., for their proprietary accounts and for client accounts also may
adversely impact the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index. For example, in regulated industries, certain emerging or international
markets and under corporate and regulatory ownership definitions, there may be limits on the aggregate amount of investment by affiliated
investors that may not be exceeded, or that may not be exceeded without the grant of a license or other regulatory or corporate consent,
or, if exceeded, may cause the Adviser, the Fund or other client accounts to suffer disadvantages or business restrictions. As a result,
the Fund may be restricted in its ability to acquire particular securities due to positions held by the Fund and the Adviser’s affiliates.
Sampling
Risk. The use of a representative sampling approach may result
in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer
of securities that the Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities
in the Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater. In addition, by sampling the securities
in the Underlying Index, the Fund faces the risk that the securities selected for the Fund, in the aggregate, will not provide investment
performance matching that of the Underlying Index, thereby increasing tracking error.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco Capital Management LLC (Invesco Capital or the Sub-Adviser) serves as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser. Invesco Capital,
an affiliate of the Adviser, incorporated in 2003, is located at 3500 Lacey Road, Suite 700, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515. Invesco Capital
is a registered investment adviser that serves as the investment adviser to the Invesco family of ETFs, with combined assets under management
of $170.5 billion as of October 31, 2022. Invesco Capital provides portfolio management services to the Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments
to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers)
without shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing
such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory
fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory
agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund's SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets.
The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or
this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser did not receive any compensation from the Fund, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement,
if any.
Invesco,
not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio

Other
Information
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

NASDAQ 100 Index Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward

and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.

from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.

Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.

Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
◾
Class
A shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio

and Benefit Plan investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your

redemption transactions.

well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.

a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 114%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under
normal market conditions, and as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy
of the Fund and may not be changed
without
shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (Investment Company Act of 1940 or 1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives
and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80%
investment requirement. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its net assets in securities that produce income subject to the federal
alternative minimum tax (AMT).
The
Fund invests in municipal securities issued by the governments of states,
their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and the District of Columbia, U.S. territories,
commonwealths and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. These primarily include municipal bonds (long-term
(more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), interests in municipal leases, and tax-exempt commercial
paper. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s
pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest
is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue
source.
The
Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity
of two years or less; however, it can buy securities that have short, intermediate or long maturities. A substantial percentage of the
securities the Fund buys may be “callable,” meaning that the issuer can redeem them before their maturity date. Because of
events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes, the maturity of the portfolio might not meet that target for temporary periods.
The
Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities that
are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”). The Fund also will not invest more than 15% of its
total assets in securities rated below the top three investment grade categories. Each of these restrictions is applied at the time of
purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security,
after the Fund’s Adviser,
Invesco Advisers, Inc.
(Invesco or the Adviser), has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or
other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of these securities to exceed, at times significantly, these restrictions
for an extended period of time. Investment-grade-securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund’s
Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the Fund’s
Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or
below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance,
nor is it intended, that the Fund’s Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis
process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in
unrated securities. For purposes of the limitations described above regarding “unrated securities,” such securities do not
include securities that are not rated but that the Fund’s Adviser determines to be comparable to securities of the same issuer that
are rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
The
Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total assets in municipal securities
issued by the government of a single state, its political sub-divisions, or the District of Columbia, U.S. territory, commonwealth or
possession, or their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its
total
1 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
assets
in municipal securities issued by each of California, New York, and Texas, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities and authorities.
In addition, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total assets in a single sector, as determined by the Adviser. This limitation
does not apply to investments in the general obligations sector.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures, to reduce exposure to interest rate changes and to manage duration.
The
Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include
many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary
defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market
conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies and policies.
To
the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded municipal securities collateralized
by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has
a below-investment-grade rating.
In
selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers generally look
for high current income; favorable credit characteristics; a wide range of issuers including different municipalities, agencies, sectors
and revenue sources; unrated bonds or securities of smaller issuers that might be overlooked by other investors; and special situations
that may offer high current income or opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these
factors no longer applies, but are not required to do so.
In
attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription
and redemption requests, the Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to
repay
principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the
credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate
such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price
decline or other credit event.
Municipal
Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends
on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest
payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal
securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Shorter-Term
Securities Risk. Normally, when interest rates change, the values
of shorter-term debt securities change less than the values of securities with longer maturities. The Fund tries to reduce the volatility
of its share prices by seeking to maintain a shorter average effective portfolio maturity. However, shorter-term securities may have lower
yields than longer-term securities. Shorter-term securities are also subject to extension and reinvestment risk. The Fund is subject to
extension risk when principal payments on a debt security occur at a slower rate than expected, potentially extending the average life
of the security. For securities with a call date in the near future, there is the risk that an increase in interest rates could result
in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by
the issuer may effectively change a short- or intermediate-term security into a longer term security, which could have the effect of locking
in a below-market interest rate on the security, increasing the security’s duration, making the security more vulnerable to interest
rate risk, reducing the security’s market value and increasing the Fund’s average effective portfolio maturity. Under such
circumstances, because the values of longer term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to interest rate changes than
shorter term securities, the Fund’s volatility could increase. Reinvestment risk is the risk that if interest rates fall the Fund
may need to invest the proceeds of redeemed securities in securities with lower interest rates.
Municipal
Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests
may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals,
airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social,
economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund
had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics.
Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions Risk. The Fund
also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state
income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments,
including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations.
Certain
of the municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico,
currently experience significant financial difficulties, which may include default, insolvency or bankruptcy. As a result, securities
issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A credit rating downgrade relating
to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory,
2 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
commonwealth
or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and interest, the market values and marketability of many
or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible
to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities
tend to be very volatile.
Medium-
and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Medium- and lower-grade
municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than
higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their
obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing
solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have
the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at the desired price.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that unrated securities may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable
price.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The market for
Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded
securities. Rule 144A and other exempt securities, which are also known as privately issued securities, carry the risk that their liquidity
may become impaired and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.
Variable-Rate
Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for
certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates,
and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than
other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit
risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
When-Issued,
Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Risks.
When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund
to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available
when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction.
These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to
pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on
(and is derived from) the value of an underlying security,
currency,
commodity,
interest rate,
index or
other asset
(each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks
relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other,
possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity
risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the
amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract.
Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment
up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of
the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative
or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss.
Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative
positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most
in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government
regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always
be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit
exposure to a particular market
segment may not provide the expected benefits,
particularly during adverse market conditions.
Alternative
Minimum Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt
income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability
Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely
on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax.
Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the
Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that
a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal
income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in the federal funds
and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility
and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the
impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially
lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments
and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which
could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence
and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s
operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
3 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
Active
Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result
in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund
into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization,
the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year
to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad
measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.
The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million
in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may
be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund may also make distributions that are taxable to
you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your

Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees
(the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under
normal market conditions, and as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests
at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel
to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy
stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority
of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. In complying with this 80% investment
requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct
investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its net assets in securities
that produce income subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT).
The
Fund invests in municipal securities issued by the governments of states,
their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and the District of Columbia, U.S. territories,
commonwealths and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. These primarily include municipal bonds (long-term
(more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), interests in municipal leases, and tax-exempt commercial
paper. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s
pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest
is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue
source.
The
Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity
of two years or less; however, it can buy securities that have short, intermediate or long maturities. A substantial percentage of the
securities the Fund buys may be “callable,” meaning that the issuer can redeem them before their maturity date. Because of
events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes, the maturity of the portfolio might not meet that target for temporary periods.
The
Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities that
are rated below investment grade (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”). The Fund also will not invest more than 15% of its
total assets in securities rated below the top three investment grade categories. Each of these restrictions is applied at the time of
purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security,
after the Fund’s Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades
or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of these securities to exceed, at times significantly, these restrictions
for an extended period of time. Investment-grade-securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund’s
Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the Fund’s
Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or
below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized
statistical
rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Fund’s Adviser’s credit analysis process is
consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund will
not invest more than 5% of its total assets in unrated securities. For purposes of the limitations described above regarding “unrated
securities,” such securities do not include securities that are not rated but that the Fund’s Adviser determines to be comparable
to securities of the same issuer that are rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
The
Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total assets in municipal securities
issued by the government of a single state, its political sub-divisions, or the District of Columbia, U.S. territory, commonwealth or
possession, or their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its
total assets in municipal securities issued by each of California, New York, and Texas, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities
and authorities. In addition, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total assets in a single sector, as determined by the Adviser.
This limitation does not apply to investments in the general obligations sector.
To
the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded municipal securities collateralized
by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has
a below-investment-grade rating.
In
selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers generally look
for high current income; favorable credit characteristics; a wide range of issuers including different municipalities, agencies, sectors
and revenue sources; unrated bonds or securities of smaller issuers that might be overlooked by other investors; and special situations
that may offer high current income or opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these
factors no longer applies, but are not required to do so.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue
bonds.
The
Fund may write (that is, sell) call options. The Fund’s call writing is subject
to a restriction such that after the Fund writes a call, not more than 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be subject to calls.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures, to reduce exposure to interest rate changes and to manage duration.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
The
Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include many of the types of securities the
Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments
under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies and policies.
The
Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate
the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market
risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
5 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
Rating
organizations might not change their credit rating of an issuer in a
timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting
securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating
organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability
to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research
and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial
strength of the insurer. The rating categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most
of the municipal securities the Fund buys are “investment-grade” at
the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global
Ratings (S&P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities,
determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category
by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,”
they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different
ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The
“effective” maturity of a security is not always the same as the stated
maturity date. A number of factors may cause the “effective” maturity to be shorter than the stated maturity. For example,
a bond’s effective maturity might be deemed to be shorter (for pricing and trading purposes) than its stated maturity as a result
of differences between its coupon interest rate and current market interest rates, whether the bond is callable (which means the issuer
can pay off the bond prior to its stated maturity), and other factors such as mandatory put provisions and scheduled sinking fund payments.
When interest rates change, securities that have an effective maturity that is shorter than their stated maturity tend to behave like
securities having those stated shorter maturity dates. The portfolio’s “average” effective maturity rate is measured
on a “dollar-weighted” basis, meaning that larger securities holdings have a greater effect on overall portfolio maturity
than smaller holdings.
To
seek to reduce volatility, the Fund will generally maintain a dollar-weighted
average effective maturity of two years or less. However, the Fund might not always be successful in maintaining its average effective
portfolio maturity at two years or less or in reducing the volatility of its share prices.
In
attempting to meet its investment objective or to manage subscription
and redemption requests, the Fund engages in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market
conditions
that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general
outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, or adverse investor
sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an individual issuer
or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, natural
or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism or other events
may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally.
Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. During a
general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance
that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a
6 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
default
in the payment of interest or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial
strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of
debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security
at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Municipal
Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends
on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest
payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades
or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not
backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular project or entity for which the bonds
were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal
securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Shorter-Term
Securities Risk. Normally, when interest rates change, the values
of shorter-term debt securities change less than the values of securities with longer maturities. The Fund tries to reduce the volatility
of its share prices by seeking to maintain a shorter average effective portfolio maturity. However, shorter-term securities may have lower
yields than longer-term securities. Shorter-term securities are also subject to extension and reinvestment risk. The Fund is subject to
extension risk when principal payments on a debt security occur at a slower rate than expected, potentially extending the average life
of the security. For securities with a call date in the near future, there is the risk that an increase in interest rates could result
in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by
the issuer may effectively change a short- or intermediate-term security into a longer term security, which could have the effect of locking
in a below-market interest rate on the security, increasing the security’s duration, making the security more vulnerable to interest
rate risk, reducing the security’s market value and increasing the Fund’s average effective portfolio maturity. Under such
circumstances, because the values of longer term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to interest rate changes than
shorter term securities, the Fund’s volatility could increase. Reinvestment risk is the risk that if interest rates fall the Fund
may need to invest the proceeds of redeemed securities in securities with lower interest rates.
Municipal
Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests
may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals,
airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social,
economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund
had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. From time to time, the Fund’s investments may
include securities that alone or together with securities held by other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser, represents a major portion
or all of an issue of municipal securities. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments and, in some
cases, there may be contractual restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to sell such securities at a desirable time
or price.
Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions Risk. The Fund
also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income
taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments,
including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A
discussion of the special considerations relating to the Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in
those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
Medium-
and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Securities which are
in the medium- and lower-grade categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity,
but they also generally involve more volatility and greater risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and management
risk. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated
securities as compared with an investment company that invests solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive
to as many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less able to be sold at a desirable time or price.
These factors may limit the ability of the Fund to sell such securities at the desired price
either to meet redemption requests or in response to changes in
the economy or the financial markets.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable
price.
In
evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated,
the investment adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources
of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and
trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the
capabilities of the issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A
reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require
the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the investment adviser
7 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
will evaluate
such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The Fund may
invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities are also known as privately issued securities, and typically may be resold
only to qualified institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited
quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Although
such securities may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, if there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular
time, the Fund may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable time or price. As a result, the Fund’s investment in such
securities may be subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A securities may require their qualified institutional
buyers (such as the Fund) to keep certain offering information confidential, which could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to sell
such securities.
Variable-Rate
Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for
certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, and a portfolio could suffer a loss
if the issuer defaults during periods in which a portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind
securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably
rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive
to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying
securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities
at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest
prior to maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise.
The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with
such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential
variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments
and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities,
such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
When-Issued,
Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Risks.
When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market
risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on securities
when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may
be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may result in the Fund missing the opportunity
of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund
commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s
overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase
prior to the time delivery of the securities is made.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the
use
of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk.
Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives)
and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty.
When the Fund is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying
asset, unless
the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial institutions
such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and
ability to pay or perform) may be
negatively impacted by factors affecting financial institutions
generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent,
the Fund’s ability to recover the collateral that the Fund
has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded on a centralized exchange, the
Fund generally is dependent upon the
solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house
(which acts as a guarantor for each contractual obligation under
such derivatives) for
payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss,
regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and
increase the risk of loss. In certain market conditions,
losses on derivative instruments can grow larger while the value
of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting
in the Fund’s derivative positions becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There
is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain derivatives,
particularly OTC derivatives,
than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers
and sellers are often financial institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market
stress. Derivative instruments may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit
its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund
may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its
ability to meet redemption requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets
must be used as margin. Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity
and take or make delivery of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and
bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants
entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery,
liquidity in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on
each futures contract for each trading session. The Fund may
be
disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside
the daily permissible price movement.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared
to other types of
investments, derivatives
may be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described
8 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
under
the
“Taxes” section
of the prospectus. In addition, changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character,
timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains,
and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which could
make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies may
not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular
market or market segment,
there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of the instrument being hedged or the
relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There is also the risk that during adverse
market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives
may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Alternative
Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal
securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a portion of its total assets in municipal securities
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result
in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability
Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely
on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax.
Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the
Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that
a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal
income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in the federal funds
and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility
and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the
impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially
lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments
and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which
could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s performance
returns.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad, changes to the monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or other
regulatory actions, the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan or other
legislation aimed at addressing financial or economic conditions, the threat of a federal government shutdown, and threats not to increase
or suspend the federal government’s debt limit, may affect investor and consumer confidence, increase volatility in the financial
markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, result in higher interest rates, and even raise concerns about the U.S. government’s
credit rating and ability to service its debt. Such changes and events may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential
investment options, and return potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the
attractiveness,
relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience
losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment
decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment
strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve
its investment objective.
Active
Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result
in high brokerage costs, which may lower the Fund’s actual return. Active trading also may increase the proportion of the Fund’s
gains that are short term, which are taxed at a higher rate than long term gains.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other
investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance
of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser,
as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with
certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to
provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments
to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers)
without shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing
such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory
fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory
agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s
9 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
SAI. However,
the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed
nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.37% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the
administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio

The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾

The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers'

Other
Information
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, primarily will consist of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized
depreciation
in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though
the Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
10 Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund
The
financial highlights information presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized
into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s
financial history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the Fund or
predecessor fund or class of Fund or predecessor fund shares. The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s
and the predecessor fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information
for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available
upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor.

Term Municipal Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement
and Benefit Plans include Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs.
Shareholder
Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts
Overview.” For additional information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that
same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing
a Share Class
Each
Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest
in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow
are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below and to Invesco funds that offer the share class(es)
to which the arrangements relate. Please contact your financial intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information
with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, and
share class eligibility requirements and other special arrangements. Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts,
investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility
requirements
and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums,
minimum account balances and other special arrangements and that you are placed in the proper share class for which you are eligible through
your financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s
financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or
discounts or other financial intermediary-specific arrangements as disclosed herein. Please contact your financial intermediary for more
information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, share class eligibility requirements
and other special arrangements available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for such arrangements.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative
for more information about these fees and other eligibility requirements.
Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
◾
Class
A shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund

Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted

Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾

Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.

Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
Foreign
investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty

◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such

The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 2%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks
of companies included in the S&P 500®
Index (the Underlying Index), and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The Underlying Index measures the performance of equity securities of larger U.S. companies. The Underlying Index employs a float-adjusted
market capitalization weighted methodology, with larger companies generally receiving greater weights.
In
seeking to track the investment results
(before fees and expenses) of the Underlying Index, the portfolio managers primarily utilize a “full replication” methodology,
pursuant to which the Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings
in the Underlying Index.
The
Underlying Index is typically rebalanced quarterly. There is no regularly
scheduled reconstitution of the Underlying Index; rather, changes to the composition of the Underlying Index are made on an as-needed
basis in accordance with the index provider’s methodology. The Fund is generally rebalanced in accordance with the Underlying Index.
Constituent changes are generally incorporated in the Fund as and when they are made to the Underlying Index.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
The
Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to seek exposure
to certain equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in
1 Invesco
S&P 500 Index Fund
value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize
an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security
unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.
Additionally, the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the
Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Non-Correlation
Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying
Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs
operating
expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing and reconstituting
the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the
Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying
Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes
in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that
of a broad-based/style-specific securities market benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and
strategies similar to those of the Fund (in that order).
The
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.

With
respect to Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement
plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in
each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million
in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your
salesperson
or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is total return through growth of capital and current income. The Fund’s investment objective
may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of companies included in the Underlying Index, and in derivatives and other
instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Underlying Index measures the performance of equity securities
of larger U.S. companies. The Underlying Index employs a float-adjusted market capitalization weighted methodology, with larger companies
generally receiving greater weights.
In
seeking to track the investment results
(before fees and expenses) of
the Underlying Index, the portfolio managers primarily utilize a “full replication” methodology pursuant to which the Fund
generally invests in all of the securities comprising its Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as the weightings of
the securities in the Underlying Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of
those securities in those same weightings. In those circumstances, the portfolio managers may purchase a sample of securities in its Underlying
Index.
A
“sampling” methodology means that the portfolio managers use a quantitative
analysis to select securities from the Underlying Index universe to obtain a representative sample of securities that have, in the aggregate,
investment characteristics similar to the Underlying Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics.
These include industry weightings, market capitalization, return variability, earnings valuation, yield and other financial characteristics
of securities. When employing a sampling methodology, the portfolio managers base the quantity of holdings in the Fund on a number of
factors, including asset size of the Fund, and generally expects the Fund to hold less than the total number of securities in the Underlying
Index. However, the portfolio managers reserve the right to invest the Fund in as many securities as they believe necessary to achieve
the Fund’s investment objective.
There
also may be instances in which the Adviser may choose to (i) overweight
or underweight a security in the Underlying Index, (ii) purchase securities not contained in the Underlying Index that the Adviser believes
are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Underlying Index, or (iii) utilize various combinations of other available
investment techniques in seeking to track the Underlying Index.
The
Fund may sell securities included in the Underlying Index in anticipation
of their removal from the Underlying Index, or purchase securities not included in the Underlying Index in anticipation of their addition
to the Underlying Index.
The
Underlying Index is typically rebalanced quarterly. Index constituents are
added and removed on an as-needed basis, there is no scheduled reconstitution. Rather, changes in response to corporate actions and market
developments can be made at any time. The Index Provider rebalances the Underlying Index on a quarterly basis after the close of business
on the third Friday in March, June, September and December.
Share counts are updated to the latest publicly available filings
on a quarterly basis. Investable weight factor (IWF) changes are only made at the quarterly review if the change represents at least 5%
of total current shares outstanding and is related to a single corporate action. The Underlying Index components, shares outstanding and
weightings factors are determined as of the rebalancing date.
3 Invesco
S&P 500 Index Fund
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including futures contracts.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including index futures, to seek exposure to certain
equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Because the Fund is passively managed, such circumstances may also impact the Fund to a greater
degree than mutual funds with investment advisers that actively manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of or defend against market
events. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there
can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and
the
value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic
regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many investment companies that are “actively
managed,” the Fund is a “passive” investor and therefore does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in
excess of the Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added to or removed
from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. If a specific security is removed from the
Underlying Index, the Fund may be forced to sell such security at an inopportune time or for a price lower than the security’s current
market value. The Underlying Index may not contain the appropriate mix of securities for any particular economic cycle. Additionally,
the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s
rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule. Further, unlike with an actively
managed fund, the Adviser does not use techniques or defensive strategies designed to lessen the impact of periods of market volatility
or market decline. This means that, based on certain market and economic conditions, the Fund’s performance could be lower than
other types of mutual funds with investment advisers that
4 Invesco
S&P 500 Index Fund
actively
manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of or defend against market events.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions,
government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others.
In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries
and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the SEC.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability
to
meet redemption requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be
used as margin. Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take
or make delivery of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Non-Correlation
Risk. The Fund’s returns may not match the return of the
Underlying Index (that is, it may experience tracking error) for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses
not applicable to the Underlying Index and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s
securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index. To the extent that the Fund has recently commenced
operations and/or otherwise has a relatively small amount of assets, such transaction costs could have a proportionally greater impact
on the Fund. Additionally, if the Fund uses a sampling approach, it may result in returns for the Fund that are not as well-correlated
with the return of the Underlying Index as would be the case if the Fund purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the
proportions represented in the Underlying Index.
The
performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset
valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs
or liquidity constraints. The Fund’s transactions, which are principally in cash and therefore could be subject to incurring higher
costs in buying or selling securities, may also contribute to tracking error. The Fund may fair value certain of the securities it holds.
To the extent the Fund calculates its NAV based on fair value prices, the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely
affected. Since the Underlying Index is not subject to the tax diversification requirements to which the Fund must adhere, the Fund may
be required to deviate its investments from the securities contained in, and relative weightings of, the Underlying Index. The Fund may
not invest in certain securities included in the Underlying Index due to liquidity constraints. Liquidity constraints also may delay the
Fund’s purchase or sale of securities included in the Underlying Index. For tax efficiency purposes,
5 Invesco
S&P 500 Index Fund
the
Fund may sell certain securities to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Underlying Index.
The
Fund generally attempts to remain fully invested in the constituents of
the Underlying Index. However, the Adviser may not fully invest the Fund at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund, to
retain a reserve of cash to meet redemptions and expenses, or because of low assets (particularly when the Fund is new and has operated
only for a short period).
The
investment activities of one or more of the Adviser’s affiliates, including
other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd., for their proprietary accounts and for client accounts also may
adversely impact the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index. For example, in regulated industries, certain emerging or international
markets and under corporate and regulatory ownership definitions, there may be limits on the aggregate amount of investment by affiliated
investors that may not be exceeded, or that may not be exceeded without the grant of a license or other regulatory or corporate consent,
or, if exceeded, may cause the Adviser, the Fund or other client accounts to suffer disadvantages or business restrictions. As a result,
the Fund may be restricted in its ability to acquire particular securities due to positions held by the Fund and the Adviser’s affiliates.
Sampling
Risk. The use of a representative sampling approach may result
in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer
of securities that the Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities
in the Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater. In addition, by sampling the securities
in the Underlying Index, the Fund faces the risk that the securities selected for the Fund, in the aggregate, will not provide investment
performance matching that of the Underlying Index, thereby increasing tracking error.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.”
Commodity
interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted
to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading
in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance
on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.12% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.

Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains or some combination of both.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
6 Invesco
S&P 500 Index Fund
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾

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

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:

Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾

who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.

Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾

investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.

may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.

shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial

the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For

following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾

◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales

Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.

or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion

individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the Fund or the transfer agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily
redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem their shares.

is no minimum initial investment for an Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plan investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your

redemption transactions.

have already provided proper bank information.
Redemptions
from Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans

well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 68%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests mainly in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable rate loans”) that hold (or in the judgment
of the investment adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations, partnerships or other business
entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of (or at least as high as) other obligations of
a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred to as “Senior Loans.” Senior Loans may be collateralized
or uncollateralized. They typically pay interest at rates that float above, or are adjusted periodically based on, a benchmark that reflects
current interest rates.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in Senior Loans, and in derivatives and other instruments that have
economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund may invest in Senior Loans directly as an original lender, or by assignment
from a lender, or it may invest indirectly through loan participation agreements. While most of these Senior Loans will be collateralized,
the Fund can also invest up to 10% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in uncollateralized Senior
Loans.
The
Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in cash (whether U.S. dollars
or a foreign currency) or cash equivalents, or in other loans, securities and other investments, including but not limited to: secured
or unsecured fixed-rate loans, fixed or floating rate notes or bonds, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies
or instrumentalities, investment-grade short-term debt obligations, equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights,
warrants, and securities convertible into common stock) and derivatives. The Fund also may invest in Senior Loans made in connection with
highly leveraged transactions, including but not limited to, operating loans, leveraged buyout loans, and leveraged capitalization loans.
The Fund can invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of the group of industries in the financial securities sector.
The
Fund can invest in investment-grade or below-investment-grade debt
instruments (sometimes referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities). The Fund can invest up to 100% of its
assets in debt instruments rated below-investment-grade, and will normally invest a substantial portion of its assets in those securities.
“Investment-grade” debt instruments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations such as Moody’s or S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser
to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund may also invest in unrated instruments, in which case the Fund’s
Adviser may assign ratings to those instruments, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in
1 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
investment-grade
or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The Fund may invest in
defaulted or distressed loans and loans to bankrupt companies. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s
credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
The
Fund may invest in securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. The Fund can
invest in Senior Loans or other investments (such as subordinated debt and fixed-rate loans) issued by foreign entities.
The
Fund has no requirements as to the range of maturities of the debt instruments
it can buy or as to the market capitalization of the issuers of those instruments. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the Fund’s
assets (including the amount borrowed) and use other techniques to manage its cash flow, to redeem shares, or to purchase assets, a technique
referred to as “leverage.” The Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments to try to enhance income or to try
to manage (hedge) investment risks, including, but not limited to, options, futures contracts, swaps, and “structured” notes.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
(i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign
currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. The Fund
can use currency futures and currency swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies.
In
selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers evaluate overall
investment opportunities and risks among the types of investments the Fund can hold. They analyze the credit standing and risks of borrowers
whose loans or debt securities they are considering for the Fund’s portfolio. They evaluate information about borrowers from their
own research or research supplied by rating organizations, agent banks or other sources and select only those loans that they believe
are likely to pay the interest and repay the principal when it becomes due. The portfolio managers consider many factors, including, among
others,
◾
the
borrower’s past and expected future financial performance
◾
the
experience and depth of the borrower’s management
◾
the
status of the borrower’s industry and its position in that industry
◾
the
collateral for the loan or other debt security
◾
the
borrower’s assets and cash flows
◾
the
credit quality of the debt obligations of the bank servicing the loan and other intermediaries imposed between the borrower and the Fund.
The credit research process utilized by the Fund to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective considers
factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and environmental, social and governance
(“ESG”) considerations. Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a
material financial risk or opportunity to an issuer. The Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers
or types of investments held by the Fund. In addition, not all issuers or Fund investments may undergo a credit quality analysis that
considers ESG factors, and not all investments held by the Fund will rate strongly on ESG criteria.
There
can be no assurance that the portfolio managers’ analysis will identify
all of the factors that may impair the value of a Senior Loan or other investment.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans Risk. Risks associated with an investment
in Senior Loans include credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically
associated with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited public information regarding Senior Loans. Senior
Loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts
periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular
trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell Senior Loans
within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended
trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other
investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding Senior Loans is also directly
tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. The value of Senior Loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes
in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. Senior loans are also subject to the risk that a court
could subordinate a senior loan or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Loans are subject to the risk that the
value of the collateral, if any, securing a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult
to liquidate. Loan investments are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions which are subject to greater credit risks
than other investments including a greater possibility that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy. Highly leveraged loans also
may be less liquid than other loans. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in
turn could affect the Fund’s returns.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes
in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security
may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in
buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal
2 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
when due,
are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield
debt securities tend to be very volatile.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. Regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify alternative
reference rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with the transition,
on March 5,
2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator that oversees LIBOR,
announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published
or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Consequently,
the publication of most LIBOR rates ceased at the end of 2021,
but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly
transition away from these rates. Additionally,
key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease
entering into new contracts that reference these USD LIBOR settings
after December 31,
2021,
subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition
and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example, there can be no assurance that the composition
or characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which the Fund invests that utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the
same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators
have generally prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue
to exist, there remains uncertainty and risks relating to certain “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments that were issued or entered
into before December 31, 2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will be identified and implemented into these instruments
when USD LIBOR is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in “legacy” USD LIBOR instruments held
by the Fund could result in losses to the Fund.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal
redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Defaulted
Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that
principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities
may be subject to restrictions on resale.
Concentration
in Financial Securities Sector Risk. The Fund will not concentrate
its investments in issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in instruments of the group of industries
in the financial securities sector. Financial securities industries may be more susceptible to particular economic and regulatory events
such as volatility in the financial markets and interest rates, changes in domestic and foreign monetary policy, and changes in industry
regulations.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely
affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased
liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation
of the issuer or foreign deposits (in
which
the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as
exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting
requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public
information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the
Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations,
which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure
to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging
strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply
at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more
foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments,
subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment, may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Warrants may be significantly less valuable
or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early, resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are
similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants
have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly
volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants
may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market values of convertible securities are
affected by market interest rates, the risk of actual issuer default on interest or principal payments and the value of the underlying
common stock into which the convertible security may be converted. Additionally, a convertible security is subject to the same types of
market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary
conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, and, as a result, are subject to an
increased risk of loss. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
3 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
Warrants,
Equity Securities and Junior Debt Securities of the Borrower Risk.
Warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities have a subordinate claim on a Borrower’s assets as compared with Senior Loans.
As a result, the values of warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities generally are more dependent on the financial condition
of the Borrower and less dependent on fluctuations in interest rates than are the values of many debt securities. The values of warrants,
equity securities and junior debt securities may be more volatile than those of Senior Loans and thus may increase the volatility of the
Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, warrants may be significantly less valuable on their relevant expiration date resulting in
a loss of money or they may expire worthless resulting in a total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be postponed or terminated
early resulting in a partial or total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be illiquid.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies
and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial
support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value,
less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives
or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure
to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid
during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely
pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
Borrowing
Risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage
and will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease
in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Borrowing money may also require the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not
be advantageous to do so. In addition, the Fund will incur interest expenses and other fees on borrowed money. There can be no assurance
that the Fund’s borrowing strategy will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s returns.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Fund's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every
investment,
and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The incorporation of ESG factors as part of a credit analysis
may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. Information used to evaluate such
factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers. There is no guarantee that the
incorporation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Performance
Information
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization consummated after the
close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations.
The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance
table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional
index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.
The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares
of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund after
the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different
from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Updated
performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

Total Returns
The
bar chart does not reflect sales loads. If it did, the annual total returns shown would be lower.

With
respect to Class R5 and Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial
investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans
investing
through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are taxable to you as ordinary income, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement,
such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any distributionss from a 401(k) plan or individual
retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the
Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests mainly in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable
rate loans”) that hold (or in the judgment of the investment adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and
foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead
of (or at least as high as) other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred to as “Senior
Loans.” Senior Loans may be collateralized or uncollateralized. They typically pay interest at rates that float above, or are adjusted
periodically based on, a benchmark that reflects current interest rates.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in Senior Loans, and in derivatives and other instruments that have
economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund may invest in Senior Loans directly as an original lender, or by assignment
from a lender, or it may invest indirectly through loan participation agreements. While most of these Senior Loans will be collateralized,
the Fund can also invest up to 10% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in uncollateralized Senior
Loans.
5 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
The
Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in cash (whether U.S. dollars
or a foreign currency) or cash equivalents, or in other loans, securities and other investments, including but not limited to: secured
or unsecured fixed-rate loans, fixed or floating rate notes or bonds, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies
or instrumentalities, investment-grade short-term debt obligations, equity securities (including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights,
warrants, and securities convertible into common stock) and derivatives. The Fund also may invest in Senior Loans made in connection with
highly leveraged transactions, including but not limited to, operating loans, leveraged buyout loans, and leveraged capitalization loans.
The
Fund can invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of the group
of industries in the financial securities sector.
The
Fund can invest in investment-grade or below-investment-grade debt
instruments (sometimes referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities). The Fund can invest up to 100% of its
assets in debt instruments rated below-investment-grade, and will normally invest a substantial portion of its assets in those securities.
“Investment-grade” debt instruments are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations such as Moody’s or S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser
to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund may also invest in unrated instruments, in which case the Fund’s
Adviser may assign ratings to those instruments, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade
categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended,
that the Adviser’s credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization.
While
the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in loans that are below
investment grade, it can invest only a variable amount of its net assets in debt obligations, including loans, rated below “B”
(at the time the Fund buys them). The limit on investments rated below “B” is variable and is measured as a percentage of
the Fund’s net assets. The limit is determined by reference to the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index, a representative index of tradeable,
senior secured, U.S. dollar-denominated, non-investment grade loans. The limit is equal to the percentage of assets rated below “B”
constituting the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index plus 10%. The limit is reset monthly based on the percentage of below “B”
assets constituting the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index at the prior month’s end. For example, if on March 31st, the percentage
of below “B” assets in the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index was 7.5%, the Fund could invest up to 17.5% of its net assets
in investments rated below “B” during the month of April. The Fund is not obligated to dispose of its investment in a loan
if its rating drops below “B,” but the Adviser will monitor the loan to determine if any action is warranted or desirable.
There is no limit on the Fund’s investment in unrated loans if the limitations set forth above are met. The Fund may invest in defaulted
or distressed loans and loans to bankrupt companies.
The
Fund may invest in securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. The Fund can
invest in Senior Loans or other investments (such as subordinated debt and fixed-rate loans) issued by foreign entities. The Fund has
no requirements as to the range of maturities of the debt instruments it can buy or as to the market capitalization of the issuers of
those instruments. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the Fund’s assets (including the amount borrowed) and use other techniques
to manage its cash flow, to redeem shares, or to purchase assets, a technique referred to as “leverage.”
The
Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments to try to enhance
income or to try to manage (hedge) investment risks, including, but not limited to, options, futures contracts, swaps, and “structured”
notes. The Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis (i.e. for prompt delivery and settlement at the rate
prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time) or through forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements
in the foreign currencies in which
portfolio
securities are denominated. The Fund can use currency futures and currency swaps to hedge its exposure to foreign currencies.
In
selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers evaluate overall
investment opportunities and risks among the types of investments the Fund can hold. They analyze the credit standing and risks of borrowers
whose loans or debt securities they are considering for the Fund’s portfolio. They evaluate information about borrowers from their
own research or research supplied by rating organizations, agent banks or other sources and select only those loans that they believe
are likely to pay the interest and repay the principal when it becomes due. The portfolio managers consider many factors, including, among
others,
◾
the
borrower’s past and expected future financial performance
◾
the
experience and depth of the borrower’s management
◾
the
status of the borrower’s industry and its position in that industry
◾
the
collateral for the loan or other debt security
◾
the
borrower’s assets and cash flows
◾
the
credit quality of the debt obligations of the bank servicing the loan and other intermediaries imposed between the borrower and the Fund.
The credit research process utilized by the Fund to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective considers
factors that may include, but are not limited to, an issuer’s operations, capital structure and environmental, social and governance
(“ESG”) considerations. Credit quality analysis for certain issuers therefore may consider whether any ESG factors pose a
material financial risk or opportunity to an issuer. The Adviser may determine that ESG considerations are not material to certain issuers
or types of investments held by the Fund. In addition, not all issuers or Fund investments may undergo a credit quality analysis that
considers ESG factors, and not all investments held by the Fund will rate strongly on ESG criteria.
There
can be no assurance that the portfolio managers’ analysis will identify
all of the factors that may impair the value of a Senior Loan or other investment.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such
6 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
circumstances
may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. During a general downturn in
the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific
investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at
the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Fund’s
performance.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans Risk. There are a number of risks associated
with an investment in Senior Loans including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk,
valuation risk and prepayment risk. These risks are typically
associated with debt securities but may be heightened in part because of the limited public information regarding Senior Loans. Senior
Loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts
periodically based on changes in widely accepted reference rates. Lack of an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular
trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair the Fund’s ability to sell Senior Loans
within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended
trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may have to sell other
investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its obligations. The risk of holding Senior Loans is also directly
tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. The value of Senior Loans can be affected by, and is sensitive to,
changes in government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad. These risks could cause the Fund to lose income
or principal on a particular investment, which in turn could affect the Fund’s returns.
In
addition to the risks typically associated with debt securities, senior loans
are also subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan, which typically holds a senior position in the capital structure
of a
borrower,
to presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans. Loans usually have mandatory
and optional prepayment provisions. If a borrower prepays a loan, the Fund will have to reinvest the proceeds in other loans or financial
assets that may pay lower rates of return.
Loans
are subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing
a loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default,
the Fund may have difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized
loan. In addition, the lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security under the loan agreement may be found by
a court to be invalid or the collateral may be used to pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower. The Fund’s access to collateral,
if any, may be limited by bankruptcy, other insolvency laws, or by the type of loan the Fund has purchased. As a result, a collateralized
loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline significantly in value.
Loan
investments are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions.
Such transactions include leveraged buyout loans, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. These obligations
are subject to greater credit risks than other investments including a greater possibility that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy.
Highly leveraged loans also may be less liquid than other loans. If the Fund voluntarily or involuntarily sold those types of loans, it
might not receive the full value it expected.
Due
to restrictions on transfers in loan agreements and the nature of the
private syndication of loans including, for example, the lack of publicly-available information, some loans are not as easily purchased
or sold as publicly-traded securities. Some loans are illiquid, which may make it difficult for the Fund to value them or dispose of them
at an acceptable price when it wants to. Additionally, valuation of Senior Loans may require greater research due to limited public information
available and elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation since there may be a lack of objective data available. The market
price of investments in floating rate loans is expected to be less affected by changes in interest rates than fixed-rate investments because
floating rate loans pay a floating rate of interest that will fluctuate as market interest rates do and therefore should more closely
track market movements in interest rates.
Direct
investments in loans and, to a lesser degree, investments in participation
interests in or assignments of loans may be limited. A limited availability of loans could reduce the amount of attractive investments
for the Fund. If market demand for loans increases, the interest paid by loans that the Fund holds may decrease. Due to the possible limited
availability of loans in the market at a given time in which the Fund can invest, there is a risk that the Fund may not be able to invest
a sufficient amount in loans at all times to meet its 80% asset investment requirement (including borrowings for investment purposes).
Compared
to securities and to certain other types of financial assets, purchases
and sales of loans take relatively longer to settle. This extended settlement process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne
by the Fund; (ii) leave the Fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay
the Fund from realizing the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit the Fund’s ability to re-sell a loan that it has agreed to
purchase if conditions change (leaving the Fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent the Fund from timely collecting principal
and interest payments; and (vi) expose the Fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences. To the extent the extended loan settlement
process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, such as the need to satisfy redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash, sell investments
or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders. If the Fund undertakes such measures, the Fund’s ability to pay redemption proceeds
in a timely manner, as well as the Fund’s performance, may be adversely affected.
If
the Fund invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund will be exposed to
the ongoing counterparty risk of the entity providing exposure to the loan
7 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
(and,
in certain circumstances, such entity’s credit risk) in addition to the exposure the Fund has to the creditworthiness of the borrower.
The terms of the participation may not entitle the Fund to all rights of a direct lender under the loan (for example, with respect to
consent, voting or enforcement rights). Therefore, the Fund’s rights under a participation interest for a particular loan may be
more limited than the rights of the original lender or an investor who acquires an assignment of that loan. Where the Fund invests in
a loan via a participation, the Fund generally will have no right of direct recourse against the borrower or ability to otherwise directly
enforce the terms of the loan agreement.
In
certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and
in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of the anti-fraud provisions
of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual
provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest
or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s
perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s
credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to
sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
LIBOR
Transition Risk. The Fund may have investments in financial instruments
that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations.
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which banks can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on an unsecured
basis. In the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the integrity of LIBOR was increasingly questioned because several banks contributing
to its calculation were accused of rate manipulation and because of a general contraction in the unsecured interbank lending market. As
a result, regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the past several years to identify
alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs. In connection with
the transition, on March 5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority
of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Consequently, the publication of most
LIBOR rates ceased
at
the end of 2021, but a selection of widely used USD LIBOR rates continues to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly transition
away from these rates. Additionally, key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease entering into new contracts that reference
these USD LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR
transition and its effects on the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests. For example,
there can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics
of any ARRs or financial instruments
in
which the Fund
invests that
utilize ARRs will be similar to or produce the same value or economic
equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators have generally
prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist,
there remains
uncertainty and risks relating to certain
“legacy”
USD LIBOR
instruments that were issued or entered into before December
31,
2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will
be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR
is ultimately discontinued. The effects of such uncertainty and risks in
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments held by the Fund could result in losses to
the Fund.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases
in the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets
to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is
difficult to predict the impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making
capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value
of the Fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in
central bank policies
could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders,
which could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Defaulted
Securities Risk. Defaulted securities pose a greater risk that
principal will not be repaid than non-defaulted securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on defaulted securities
and may incur costs to protect its investment. Defaulted securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may
be subject to restrictions on resale. Investments in defaulted securities and obligations of distressed issuers are considered speculative
and the prices of these securities may be more volatile than non-defaulted securities.
Credit
Quality Risk. The Fund can invest in securities that are rated
or unrated. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories by nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s or S&P (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the investment
adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). “Below-investment-grade” securities are those that are rated
below those categories, which are also referred to as “junk bonds.” While securities rated within the fourth highest category
by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,”
they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different
ratings to a security, the investment adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Credit
ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal
payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change from time
to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer. Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations.
In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings
by rating organizations but evaluates business,
8 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
economic
and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk
of a particular security may change over time. The investment adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks.
If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an Appendix to the SAI.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable
price.
In
evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated,
the investment adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors such as, if applicable, the financial resources of the
issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends,
any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities
of the issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A
reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require
the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the investment adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to
keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Concentration
in Financial Securities Sector Risk. The Fund will not concentrate
its investments in issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund may invest without limit in instruments of the group of industries
in the financial securities sector. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others. The Securities and
Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry
constitutes concentration in that industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its
agencies and instrumentalities. The Fund will consider, to the extent practicable, the concentration of the portfolio securities of any
underlying investment companies in which it may invest when determining compliance with its concentration policy.
The
Fund regards the “issuer” of a loan as including the borrower under the
loan agreement, the agent bank and any intermediate participant. The Fund may look to the creditworthiness of the agent bank and other
intermediate participants in a loan, in addition to the borrower. That is because it may be necessary to assert through the agent bank
or intermediate participant any rights that may exist under the loan against the borrower if the borrower defaults. Those parties typically
are commercial banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies and finance companies (and their holding companies). The Fund will be subject
to the risks associated with these financial institutions. Companies in the financial securities industries may be more susceptible to
particular economic and regulatory events such as fluctuations in interest rates, changes in the monetary policy of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, governmental regulations concerning those industries and affecting capital raising activities and fluctuations
in the financial markets.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may
be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments, by changes in economic
or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing
obligations
in those countries. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer
or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental
restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies,
including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption.
Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it
more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to
recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt.
Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments
in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular
country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged
its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign
currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies,
if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common stock represents an ownership interest in
a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation
or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than
exchange-traded securities.
The
value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may
experience significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income
markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other
and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), their share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific
and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and
behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also
may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment
than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will
9 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
usually
react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or
prospects. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally offer no voting rights
with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk. Rights and warrants may be purchased directly
or acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period
of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to, and is generally more volatile than, the price of the underlying
security. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date and may also be postponed or terminated early,
resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly
by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more susceptible to sharp declines in value than the
underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an
acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs
like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market
value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of
time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay
dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity
equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion
of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market
and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an
increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated
below investment grade, which are considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline
in market value than investment grade securities.
Warrants,
Equity Securities and Junior Debt Securities of the Borrower Risk.
Warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities have a subordinate claim on a Borrower’s assets as compared with Senior Loans.
As a result, the values of warrants, equity securities and junior debt securities generally are more dependent on the financial condition
of the Borrower and less dependent on fluctuations in interest rates than are the values of many debt securities. The values of warrants,
equity securities and junior debt securities may be more volatile than those of Senior Loans and thus may increase the volatility of the
Fund’s net asset value. Additionally, warrants may be significantly less valuable on their relevant expiration date resulting in
a loss of money or they may expire worthless resulting in a total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be postponed or terminated
early resulting in a partial or total loss of the investment. Warrants may also be illiquid.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies
and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could
affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial
support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund
is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset,
unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial
institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by
factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s
ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded
on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a
guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Forward
Contracts Risk. The projection of short-term currency market movements
is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. The precise matching of the
amounts under forward contracts and the value of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the future value of securities
denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered into
and the date it is sold. Investments in forward
10 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
contracts
involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses on these contracts
and to pay additional transaction costs.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Swap
Transactions Risk. Under U.S. financial reform legislation enacted
in 2010, certain types of swaps are required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central clearing house counterparty,
which may entail further risks and costs for the Fund. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and
may be entered into as a bilateral contract or may be centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution
of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing to a central clearing house counterparty, and the Fund faces the central
clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures commission merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Liquidity
Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the
time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to
a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise
restricted from trading. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s
securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly
reduced prices.
Borrowing
Risk. Borrowing money to buy securities exposes the Fund to leverage
because the Fund seeks to achieve a return on a capital base larger than the assets that shareholders have contributed to the Fund. Borrowing
will cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile because leverage will exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in
the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The Fund may also be required to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous
to do so in order to repay borrowed money when due. In addition, the Fund will incur interest
expenses
and other fees on borrowed money. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s borrowing strategy will enhance and not reduce the Fund’s
returns.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk. The ESG considerations
that may be assessed as part of a credit research process to implement the Fund's investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective
may vary, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated
for ESG considerations. The incorporation of ESG factors as part of a credit analysis may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain
issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The Fund may underperform other funds that do not incorporate ESG factors or that
use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. Information used to evaluate such factors may not be readily available,
complete or accurate, and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic, which could negatively
impact the ability to accurately assess credit quality, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee
that the incorporation of ESG considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other
investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance
of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser,
as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers:
Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (Invesco Senior Secured)
serves as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser. Invesco Senior Secured, an affiliate of the Adviser, is located at 225 Liberty Street,
New York, New York 10281. Invesco Senior Secured has experience managing senior secured loans dating back to 1990. Invesco Senior Secured
manages a broad array of portfolio types including retail mutual funds, commingled institutional funds, separate accounts and structured
products for a variety of retail and institutional investors (both public and private). Invesco Senior Secured provides portfolio management
services to the Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or
11 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
unaffiliated
sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory
agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without shareholder
approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers
and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory fees paid by
the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including
the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps
markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies
or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.61% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the
administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
Invesco,
not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
Portfolio
Managers
Investment
management decisions for the Fund are made by the investment management team at Invesco Senior Secured.
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾
David
Lukkes, CFA (lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco Senior
Secured and/or its affiliates since 2019. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Mr. Lukkes managed the predecessor
fund since 2015 and was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm, since 2008.
◾
Thomas
Ewald, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or
its affiliates since 2000.
◾
Philip
Yarrow, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco Senior Secured and/or
its affiliates since 2010.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all aspects of
the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction techniques,
portfolio
risk
assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which a lead or co-lead manager
may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.Invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers'
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 3.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category V Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, primarily will consist of ordinary income.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays them monthly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments,
the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
12 Invesco Senior
Floating Rate Fund
The
financial highlights information presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized
into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s
financial history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the Fund or
predecessor fund or class of Fund or predecessor fund shares. The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s
and the predecessor fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information
for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available
upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor.

In
addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of
the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Because
the
underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions at different times, the amount of fees
and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.
Estimated
underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the
underlying funds and are deducted from the value
of
the funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund expenses that the Fund bears indirectly is included in the
Fund’s total return. Estimated acquired fund fees from
underlying
funds were 1.12%, 1.10% and 1.13% for the one month ended August 31, 2019 and the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Floating Rate Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.

otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout

Choosing
a Share Class
Each

in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment
when compared to a less expensive class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of
the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class and
any eligibility requirements of your financial intermediary, (ii) the initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges
(CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive
from a financial intermediary. Please contact your financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus
fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class
Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial
intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment
by the investor of a commission and/or other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco),
(iii) banks or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer
or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject
to any conditions or limitations imposed on the servicing of Class
Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into
any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In addition, you will be permitted to make additional
Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial account held directly at
Invesco if you held such shares in your account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers
of a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares
prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
◾
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.

an initial sales charge:

Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.

the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A

The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾

◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.

charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares

or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed

fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares

and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:
◾
Class
A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the Fund or the transfer agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily
redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem their shares.

and Benefit Plan investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
The
minimum initial investment in each share class for all other institutional
investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming

The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

or
R shares of any other Fund as long as you are otherwise eligible for such share class. If you
exchange
Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C or R shares
of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other Fund. |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus.
The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares
of Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) or Class
C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus for
the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The
following exchanges are not permitted:
◾
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
◾
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares
of those Funds.
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A
shares of any Fund.
◾
All
existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
◾
Class
A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover.
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A
higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 26%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities
at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without
shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (Investment Company Act of 1940 or 1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives
and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80%
investment requirement.
Municipal
securities include debt obligations of states, territories or possessions
of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which
is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion of bond counsel of the issuer or other counsel to the issuers
of such securities.
The
principal types of municipal debt securities purchased by the Fund are
revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation
and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal
leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities. Under
normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds.
Invesco
Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) generally seeks to achieve the
Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 75% of its net assets in higher yielding municipal securities, specifically medium-
and lower-grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P)
or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical
rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities are securities rated by S&P
or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch) as BBB+ through D (inclusive) for bonds or SP-2 or lower for notes; by Moody’s as Baa1 through D (inclusive)
for bonds or MIG3 or VMIG3 or lower for notes; or unrated municipal securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality,
each at the time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade securities are, therefore, inclusive of some securities rated investment grade.
Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as junk bonds.
At
times, the market conditions in the municipal securities markets may be
such that the Adviser may invest in higher-grade issues, particularly when the difference in returns between quality classifications is
very narrow or when the Adviser expects interest rates to increase. Higher-grade
1 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
securities
are securities that are rated higher than medium- or lower-grade securities by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch, or considered by the
Adviser to be of comparable quality, including municipal securities rated A-, SP-1 or higher by S&P or rated A3, MIG2, VMIG2 or higher
by Moody’s and in tax-exempt commercial paper rated A-3 or higher by S&P or rated P-3 or higher by Moody’s or in unrated
securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The
Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets in a segment of the
municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular
segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net
assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The
Fund has no policy limiting its investments in municipal securities whose
issuers are located in the same state. However, it is not the present intention of the Fund to invest more than 25% of the value of its
net assets in issuers located in the same state.
The
Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments,
repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate
investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund may invest all or a substantial
portion of its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily
may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal
securities.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded securities. The Fund may also
invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon
securities and pay-in-kind securities. The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means
that a Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The
Fund can invest in inverse floating rate municipal obligations issued in
connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts
and swap contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures, to reduce exposure to interest rate changes and
to manage duration.
The
Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge
its exposure to interest rates.
The
Adviser buys and sells securities for the Fund’s portfolio with a view towards
seeking a high level of interest income exempt from federal income tax and selects securities that the Adviser believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the investment policies of the Fund. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the highest
yielding municipal securities permitted by its investment policies if the Adviser determines that market risks or credit risks associated
with such investments would subject the Fund’s portfolio to undue risk.
The
Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration
equal to or less than five years.
Decisions
to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value
considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations
and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro
risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to
a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the
Fund.
The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration
and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell
securities.
The
Fund can borrow money to purchase additional securities, another form
of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third
of the Fund’s total assets.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism
or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value.
When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes
in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security
may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in
buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Municipal
Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends
on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest
payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal
securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield
debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities
are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible
to default or decline in market value and
2 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
are less
liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
Medium-
and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Medium- and lower-grade
municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than
higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their
obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing
solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have
the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at the desired price.
Municipal
Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests
may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals,
airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social,
economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund
had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that unrated securities may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable
price.
Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions Risk. The Fund
also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state
income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments,
including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations.
Certain
of the municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico,
currently experience significant financial difficulties, which may include default, insolvency or bankruptcy. As a result, securities
issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A credit rating downgrade relating
to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession
in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and interest, the market values and marketability of many or all municipal
obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
Alternative
Minimum Tax Risk. All or a portion of the Fund’s otherwise
tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Money
Market Fund Risk. Although
money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money
market funds. A money market
fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The
credit quality of a money market fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have
an adverse impact on the money market fund's share price. A money
market
fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets and/or significant market
volatility.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The market for
Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded
securities. Rule 144A and other exempt securities, which are also known as privately issued securities, carry the risk that their liquidity
may become impaired and the Fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities
may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There
can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher
for restricted securities and such securities may be difficult to value and may have significant volatility.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates,
and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than
other types of securities. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit
risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
When-Issued,
Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Risks.
When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund
to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available
when delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction.
These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to
pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Inverse
Floating Rate Obligations Risk. The price of inverse floating rate
obligations (inverse floaters) is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a
bond with a similar maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities.
These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater. Leverage
may make the Fund's returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss; and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that
has a higher degree of leverage are more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions. Additionally, these securities
may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment.
Variable-Rate
Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for
certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and
is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an
underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater,
risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract
will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create
leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative.
As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater
than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may
3 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
be unable
to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions,
during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient
and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives
strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market
segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Taxability
Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely
on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax.
Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the
Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that
a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal
income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in the federal funds
and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility
and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the
impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially
lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments
and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which
could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs.
Borrowing
and Leverage Risk. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value
of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings
for a number of purposes, including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value
of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the
securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations, for temporary and emergency
purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving
the use of leverage), as described in this prospectus. The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco
Funds for its borrowing.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence
and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact the Fund’s
operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.

billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of
at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares,
the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate
at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case
there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may
be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund may also make distributions that are taxable to
you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the
broker-dealer
or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or
financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek federal tax-exempt current income and taxable capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment
objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing
sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding
voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act of 1940 or 1940 Act). In complying
with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar
to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Municipal
securities include debt obligations of states, territories or possessions
of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which
is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion of bond counsel of the issuer or other counsel to the issuers
of such securities.
The
principal types of municipal debt securities purchased by the Fund are
revenue obligations and general obligations. Revenue obligations are usually payable only from the revenues derived from a particular
facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not
from the general taxing power. Revenue obligations may include industrial development, pollution control, public utility, housing, and
health care issues. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds. General
obligation securities are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and
interest. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities,
including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation
certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities.
The
Adviser generally seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by
investing at least 75% of its net assets in higher yielding municipal securities, specifically medium- and lower-grade municipal securities.
Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating
by another NRSRO, (ii) securities with comparable rated short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities are securities rated by S&P
or Fitch as BBB+ through D (inclusive) for bonds or SP-2 or lower for notes; by Moody’s as Baa1 through D (inclusive) for bonds
or MIG3 or VMIG3 or lower for notes; or unrated municipal securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the
time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade securities are, therefore, inclusive of some securities rated investment grade. Securities rated
below investment grade are commonly referred to as junk bonds.
At
times, the market conditions in the municipal securities markets may be
such that the Adviser may invest in higher-grade issues, particularly when the difference in returns between quality classifications is
very narrow or when the Adviser expects interest rates to increase. Higher-grade
5 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
securities
are securities that are rated higher than medium- or lower-grade securities by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch, or considered by the
Adviser to be of comparable quality, including municipal securities rated A-, SP-1 or higher by S&P or rated A3, MIG2, VMIG2 or higher
by Moody’s and in tax-exempt commercial paper rated A-3 or higher by S&P or rated P-3 or higher by Moody’s or in unrated
securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The
Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets in a segment of the
municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular
segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net
assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The
Fund has no policy limiting its investments in municipal securities whose
issuers are located in the same state. However, it is not the present intention of the Fund to invest more than 25% of the value of its
net assets in issuers located in the same state.
The
Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments,
repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate
investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund may invest all or a substantial
portion of its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily
may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal
securities.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded securities. The Fund may also
invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon
securities and pay-in-kind securities. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment
of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest. Pay-in-kind securities are debt securities
that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, which means that a Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation
and the interest rate are fixed at the time a Fund enters into the commitment. No income accrues on such securities until the date a Fund
actually takes delivery of the securities.
The
Fund can invest in inverse floating rate municipal obligations issued in
connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage. Inverse floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments
that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. Inverse floating rate obligations in which
the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds, tender option bonds or municipal bond trust certificates.
Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust (the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are contributed
by the Fund (the underlying security), and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold
to or held by third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. Because the interest rate
paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined amount, the
interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase as such variable
or floating rate decreases.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including futures contracts
and swap contracts. The Fund can use futures contracts, including
interest
rate futures, to reduce exposure to interest rate changes and to manage duration.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of a futures contract tends
to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser
and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are
settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement
amount on the settlement date.
A
swap contract is an agreement between two parties pursuant to which
the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference
to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The notional amount of a swap is based on
the nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is
not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments
between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest
rates.
The
Adviser buys and sells securities for the Fund’s portfolio with a view towards
seeking a high level of interest income exempt from federal income tax and selects securities that the Adviser believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the investment policies of the Fund. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the highest
yielding municipal securities permitted by its investment policies if the Adviser determines that market risks or credit risks associated
with such investments would subject the Fund’s portfolio to undue risk.
The
Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio duration
equal to or less than five years. Duration is a measure of volatility expressed in years and represents the anticipated percent change
in a bond’s price at a single point in time for a 1% change in yield. As duration increases, volatility increases as applicable
interest rates change.
Decisions
to purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value
considerations of the portfolio mangers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations
and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro
risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to
a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential
for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency
of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
The
Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in
amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than
borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by
the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued “inverse floaters”
to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to
meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco
Funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Fund and Its Investments and
Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The
principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore
the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer,
industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down
due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic
conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of the Fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors
that affect an individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in production costs and competitive conditions within
an industry. In addition, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict,
acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial
markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s
investment strategy. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
◾
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, various countries,
including the United States, as well as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member countries and the European Union, issued broad-ranging
economic sanctions against Russia. The war in Ukraine (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) may escalate. These and other corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative effects on
regional and global economic and financial markets, including increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors including, but not limited to, energy and financials. Russia may take additional
countermeasures or retaliatory actions (including cyberattacks), which could exacerbate negative consequences on global financial markets.
The duration of the conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative
impact on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even beyond any direct investment exposure the Fund may have to
Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions.
◾
COVID-19.
The “COVID-19” strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity
constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain its spread have resulted in travel restrictions, disruptions of healthcare
systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee availability,
and defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts that have disrupted global economic activity across many
industries. Such economic impacts may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks locally or globally and cause
general concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future
epidemics
or pandemics) at the macro-level and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on
the Fund’s performance.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund
will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest
rates typically causes the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities
and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest
payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities
if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an
issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest
or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s
perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s
credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to
sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Municipal
Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends
on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative
regulations, voter initiatives, and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest
payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades
or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not
backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular project or entity for which the bonds
were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal
securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments
in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund
to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest
and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or
company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile.
These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly
in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
Medium-
and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Securities which are
in the medium- and lower-grade categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity,
but they also generally involve more volatility and greater risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and management
risk. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated
securities as compared with an investment company that invests solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive
to as many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less able to be sold at a desirable time or price.
These factors
7 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
may
limit the ability of the Fund to sell such securities at the desired price
either to meet redemption requests or in response to changes in
the economy or the financial markets.
Municipal
Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests
may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals,
airports, utility systems and housing finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social,
economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund
had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. From time to time, the Fund’s investments may
include securities that alone or together with securities held by other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser, represents a major portion
or all of an issue of municipal securities. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments and, in some
cases, there may be contractual restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to sell such securities at a desirable time
or price.
Unrated
Securities Risk. The investment adviser may internally assign ratings
to securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, after assessing their credit quality and
other factors, in categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor
is it intended, that the investment adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process
used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Unrated securities are considered “investment-grade” or “below-investment-grade”
if judged by the investment adviser to be comparable to rated investment-grade or below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser’s
rating does not constitute a guarantee of the credit quality. In addition, some unrated securities may not have an active trading market
or may trade less actively than rated securities, which means that the Fund might have difficulty selling them promptly at an acceptable
price.
In
evaluating the credit quality of a particular security, whether rated or unrated,
the investment adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors such as, if applicable, the financial resources of the
issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends,
any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities
of the issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A
reduction in the rating of a security after the Fund buys it will not require
the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the investment adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to
keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions Risk. The Fund
also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income
taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments,
including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A
discussion of the special considerations relating to the Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in
those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Alternative
Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal
securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a portion of its total assets in municipal securities
subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result
in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Money
Market Fund Risk. Although money market funds generally seek to
preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing in money market funds. A money market fund's
sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund. The credit quality of a money market fund's holdings
can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund's share
price. A money market fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets
and/or significant market volatility. To the extent the Fund holds cash or cash equivalents rather than securities in which it primarily
invests or uses to manage risk, the Fund may not achieve its investment objectives and may underperform the Fund’s benchmark or
other funds that remain fully invested. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other government agencies continue to review
the regulation of money market funds. As of the date of this prospectus, the SEC has proposed changes to the rules that govern money market
funds. These changes and developments, if implemented, may affect the investment strategies, performance, yield, operating expenses and
continued viability of a fund.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The Fund may
invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities are also known as privately issued securities, and typically may be resold
only to qualified institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited
quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from registration. Although
such securities may be determined to be liquid in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, if there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular
time, the Fund may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable time or price. As a result, the Fund’s investment in such
securities may be subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A securities may require their qualified institutional
buyers (such as the Fund) to keep certain offering information confidential, which could adversely affect the ability of the Fund to sell
such securities.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations on the resale of restricted securities
may have an adverse effect on their marketability, and may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. There
can be no assurance that a trading market will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs may be higher
for restricted securities. Also, restricted securities may be difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available,
and the securities may have significant volatility. In addition, the Fund may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted
security and therefore may be less able to predict a loss.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind
securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably
rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive
to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying
securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities
at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest
prior to maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise.
The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with
such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential
variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments about the
8 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
collectability
of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain
lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
When-Issued,
Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Risks.
When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market
risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on securities
when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may
be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may result in the Fund missing the opportunity
of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund
commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s
overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase
prior to the time delivery of the securities is made.
Inverse
Floating Rate Obligations Risk. Inverse floating rate obligations
(inverse floaters) represent interests in bonds with interest rates that vary inversely to changes in short-term rates. As short-term
rates rise, inverse floaters produce less income, and as short-term rates decline, inverse floaters produce more income. As a result,
the price of inverse floaters is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a
bond with a similar maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities.
Interest rate risk and price volatility of inverse floaters can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines
the interest payable by the inverse floater. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. The
Fund generally invests in inverse floaters that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks and increased costs.
The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floater will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater
extent than the value of an unleveraged investment, and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree
of leverage are more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions. The use of short-term floating rate obligations
may require the Fund to segregate or earmark cash or liquid assets to cover its obligations. Securities so segregated or earmarked will
be unavailable for sale by the Fund (unless replaced by other securities qualifying for segregation requirements), which may limit the
Fund’s flexibility and may require that the Fund sell other portfolio investments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to sell
such assets. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, the special purpose trust that created the inverse floater may
be collapsed and the underlying security liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater
and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying
security and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate interests. Recent regulatory changes have prompted changes to the structure
of tender option bonds. The Fund’s enhanced role under the revised structure may increase the Fund’s operational and regulatory
risk.
Variable-Rate
Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for
certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, and a portfolio could suffer a loss
if the issuer defaults during periods in which a portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely
on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred
to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
◾
Counterparty
Risk. Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange
(referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are
simply
financial contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the
counterparty to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset, unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third
party prior to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness
(and ability to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the
event that a counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit
with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent
upon the solvency of the relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives)
for payment on derivative instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
◾
Leverage
Risk. Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal
to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change
in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested
in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless
of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative
instruments can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of the Fund’s investments.
◾
Liquidity
Risk. There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain
derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial
institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments
may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to exit 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 Fund and its ability to meet redemption
requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin.
Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery
of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
◾
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible
price movement.
◾
Swap
Transactions Risk. Under U.S. financial reform legislation enacted
in 2010, certain types of swaps are required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central clearing house counterparty,
which may entail further risks and costs for the Fund. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market and
may be entered into as a bilateral contract or may be
9 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
centrally
cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing
to a central clearing house counterparty, and the Fund faces the central clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures
commission merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
◾
Other
Risks. Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may
be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition,
changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which
could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies
may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of
the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There
is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits
at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Taxability
Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely
on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax.
Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the
Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that
a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal
income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in the federal funds
and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility
and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the
impact of interest rate changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially
lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of the Fund’s investments
and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which
could potentially increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s performance
returns.
Borrowing
and Leverage Risk. Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund
to greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage
and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield, especially if the cost
of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make
the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than if the Fund did not use leverage due to the
tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage
may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation
requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and political events within the U.S. and abroad, changes to the monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or other
regulatory actions, the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan or other
legislation aimed at addressing financial or economic conditions, the threat of a federal government shutdown, and threats not to increase
or suspend the federal government’s debt limit, may affect investor and consumer confidence, increase volatility in the financial
markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, result in higher interest rates, and even raise concerns about the U.S. government’s
credit rating and ability to service its debt. Such changes and events may adversely impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential
investment options, and return potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends heavily on the Adviser’s
judgment about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no guarantee
that the Adviser’s investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results. Additionally, legislative, regulatory,
or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund,
which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Portfolio
Holdings
A description
of Fund policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings is available in the SAI, which is available
at www.invesco.com/us.
The
Adviser(s)
Invesco
serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios
that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple
investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers).
Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments
to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers)
without shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing
such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not permit investment advisory
fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory
agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory services furnished to the Fund.
10 Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund
Exclusion
of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With
respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund, among other things, to
adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity
options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is permitted to invest in these instruments as further described
in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps
markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies
or this prospectus.
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Adviser received compensation of 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver
and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.

Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 2.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category IV Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales
Charges
(Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
(CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where
the selling broker-dealer was not paid a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder
Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, primarily will consist of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Shareholder
Account Information
In addition
to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds
or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some
investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are maintained
by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the
Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance
contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained
by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described
in this prospectus. As a result, the availability of certain share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this
prospectus will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the financial intermediary or conduit investment vehicle.
Accordingly, through your financial intermediary you may be invested in a share class that is subject to higher annual fees and expenses
than other share classes that are offered in this prospectus. Investing in a share class subject to higher annual fees and expenses may
have an adverse impact on your investment return. Please consult your financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility
to qualify for the share classes and/or shareholder privileges or services described in this prospectus.
The
Fund is not responsible for any additional share class eligibility requirements,
investment minimums, exchange privileges, or other policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes
to them. Please consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout
this prospectus:
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
including
401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements
that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such as 457 plans and executive deferred compensation arrangements; (iii) health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the Code; and (iv) voluntary employees’ beneficiary arrangements maintained
pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
◾
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs) include Traditional and Roth IRAs.
◾
Employer
Sponsored IRAs include Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SAR-SEP), and Savings Incentive
Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers (SIMPLE) IRAs.
◾
Retirement

Account Information and additional information is available on
the Internet at www.invesco.com/us. To access your account, go to the tab for “Account & Services,” then click on “Accounts

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

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding
the availability of certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your financial adviser to consider your options,
including your eligibility to qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for eligibility requirements
imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business
and charitable organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an account to purchase Class C shares if they have
appointed a financial intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This restriction does not apply to Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate financial intermediaries
for services provided in connection with the sale of shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should consider
the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account
when choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to
new investors. All references in this “Shareholder Account
Information”
section of this prospectus to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of a specific
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX
(excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), or CX shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references
in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P
Shares
In
addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold
only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with
no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only
shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and
only until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their
former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly
investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under
the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding
Class R shares. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds,
you will be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase
transaction each day.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also available to institutional investors.
Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g.,
Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans,
financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment
minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that
has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares
available
for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The
Invesco Master Loan Fund is only available for purchase by other Funds
in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
Class S
shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption
within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has
an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public.
An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with
the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor’s systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y
Shares
Class

Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
◾
Investors
who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have
continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an account, such as a
joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
◾
Customers

prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as “Investor
Class grandfathered intermediaries.”

additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco
Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except
as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay
distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer
of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The
following Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
◾
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
◾
All
Funds, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect
to such class (subject to the exceptions noted on page A-1):
◾
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
◾
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The
Funds are grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other Information” section of each Fund’s
prospectus will tell you the sales charge category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price”
with respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or
V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase) the initial sales charge set forth below will
be waived; though your shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18 months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different
policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, exchanges or conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment minimums; and minimum account balances,
which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial
intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their
financial advisor to consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without paying
an initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
◾
Investors
who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial
intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in exchange for servicing that account.
◾
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but
not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder):
◾
with
assets of at least $1 million; or
◾
with
at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
◾
that
execute plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
◾
Any
investor who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit
Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator
that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
◾
Investors
who own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor
Class Shares were first purchased.
◾
Funds
of funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
◾
Insurance
company separate accounts.
◾
Any
current or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
◾
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the
Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
◾
Any
investor purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which
the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary will make Class A
shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
◾
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
◾
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco
Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
In
addition, investors may acquire Class A shares without paying an initial
sales charge in connection with:
◾
reinvesting
dividends and distributions;
◾
exchanging
shares of one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
◾
purchasing
shares in connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer
agent; and
◾
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the
redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and Benefit Plan maintained by
the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
Invesco
Distributors also permits certain other investors to invest in Class A
shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For
additional information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow

share class eligibility requirements and other special arrangements. Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts,
investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility

and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums,
minimum account balances and other special arrangements and that you are placed in the proper share class for which you are eligible through
your financial intermediary. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s
financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or
discounts or other financial intermediary-specific arrangements as disclosed herein. Please contact your financial intermediary for more
information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances, share class eligibility requirements

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
The
following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions
and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Shareholders purchasing Fund shares through the Edward
Jones commission
and fee-based platforms will be eligible for the following load waivers (front- end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this Fund's prospectus or statement of additional
information (“SAI”). In all instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase
of any relationship, holdings of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor), or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should
contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
◾
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Edward Jones
◾
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its
policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the associate retires
from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
◾
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject
to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
◾
Exchanges
from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or
earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

◾
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will
be determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans)
of Invesco Funds (including holdings of 529 Plans where Invesco serves as primary distributor) held by the shareholder or in an account
grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”).
If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform.
The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets
at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase
or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
◾
The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the
plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
◾
Letters
of Intent (“LOI”) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to
make over a 13- month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period
to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in
the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before
the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges
will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
◾
If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.

Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through
PFSI and held on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services (“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also
referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from share classes, discounts and
waivers described elsewhere in this prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation
of such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact
PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Share
Classes
◾
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account
types unless expressly provided for below.
◾
Class
C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
◾
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
◾
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any assets held
in group retirement plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets
in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market
funds are
included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of Invesco Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
◾
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level
grouping for purposes of ROA, which allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in plan accounts on the
PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform,
but not with all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping
will not be available for purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
◾
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
◾
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month
period through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost
or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to invest over
a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales
charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies
to the projected total investment.
◾
Only
holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of
all eligible assets at the time of calculation.
◾
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales
charges will be automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
◾
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for
the accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the
employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
◾
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
◾
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are
from the sale of shares within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account
or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account, and 3) the redeemed
shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load, Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance
fees are not eligible for this sales charge waiver.
◾
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion
of PFSI. PFSI is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable
sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform
◾
Class
R shares
are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant
401(k) plan or solo 401(k).
UBS
Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”)
Pursuant
to an agreement with the Distributor, UBS may offer Class Y
shares
to its retail brokerage clients whose shares are held in omnibus
accounts at UBS, or its designee. For these clients, UBS may charge commissions or transaction fees with respect to brokerage transactions
in Class Y shares. The
minimum investment for Class Y shares is waived for transactions through such brokerage platforms at UBS. Please contact your UBS representative

Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an
individual account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children,
step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the
individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a
Retirement and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
4.
a
Coverdell Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account
must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored
IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for
a new purchase based on the total value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
the
employer or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds
will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
if
the Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan
sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be linked,
and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant
with the contribution transmittal.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In
all instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge
exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions.
For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class shares of any Fund will not be
taken
into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or LOIs.
Rights
of Accumulation
Purchasers
that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds
currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply
to larger purchases. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and
the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial
sales charge rates.
Letters
of Intent
Under
a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount
you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end
of the 13-month period, your account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the
total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement
Following Redemption
If
you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that
amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any
Fund within 180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class
A shares without an initial sales charge.
This
reinstatement privilege does not apply to a purchase made through a
regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This
reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for the period of time in which
a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In
order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you must inform
your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any
shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with
the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s shares are redeemed
within one year from the date of initial purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class
A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class
C shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was
not paid a commission at the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your purchase has been made you will
be
assessed
a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one of the
CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs
Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or
Employer Sponsored IRA’s shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund
as a result of an exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a CDSC prior to November
1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The
CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested
dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out
basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors
who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
◾
If
you participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any
twelve-month period.
◾
If
you redeem shares to pay account fees.
◾
If
you are the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following
the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption
and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are
not subject to CDSCs.
The
following share classes are sold without a CDSC:

investors is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the 1940 Act, as amended, that
is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts where the intermediary:
◾
generally
charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus; and
◾
maintains
Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
A
financial intermediary may impose different investment minimums than
those set forth above. The Fund is not responsible for any investment minimums imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying shareholders
of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific
Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific investment minimums. Please consult with your financial intermediary
if you have any questions regarding their policies.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be purchased through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Non-retirement
retail investors, including high net worth investors investing
directly or through a financial intermediary, are not eligible for Class R5 shares. IRAs and Employer Sponsored IRAs are also not eligible
for Class R5 shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares
may differ than the terms in this prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and
purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all the required information
requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Funds
verify and record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’ transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your
investment from your bank account on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs and Coverdell ESAs,
and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any
time by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and
other financial intermediaries may also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
Dollar
Cost Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The
account from which exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can use this option. Exchanges will occur
on (or about) the day of the month you specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for the 29th through
the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions
in shares of another Fund:
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000; and
◾
Your
account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least $500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution amount
is $25 or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and no check will be issued. If you have elected to
receive distributions by check, and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record, then your distribution election
may be converted to having all subsequent distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With respect to certain
account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check
in your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested
into the same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to change your distribution option, and your
request to do so must be received by the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to be effective
for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The
Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call before the Funds’ net asset value
determination (as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset value.
Your
broker or financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling
redemption transactions.
|
Through
a Financial
Adviser
or Financial
Intermediary*
|
Contact
your financial adviser or financial intermediary. The Funds’
transfer
agent must receive your financial adviser’s or financial
intermediary’s
call before the Funds’ net asset value determination
(as
defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect the redemption
at
that day’s net asset value. Please contact your financial adviser or
financial
intermediary with respect to reporting of cost basis and
available
elections for your account. |
|
Send
a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent which includes: |
|
▪ Original
signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
▪ The
dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
▪ The
name of the Fund(s) and your account number;
▪ The
cost basis method or specific shares you wish to redeem for
tax
reporting purposes, if different than the method already on
record;
and |
|
▪ Signature
guarantees, if necessary (see below).
The
Funds’ transfer agent may require that you provide additional
documentation,
or information, such as corporate resolutions or
powers
of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from a
Retirement
and Benefit Plan, you must complete the appropriate
distribution
form. |
|
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be
allowed
to redeem by telephone if:
▪ Your
redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on
record
(and there has been no change in your address of record
within
the last 15 days) or transferred electronically to a
pre-authorized
checking account;
▪ You
can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ You
have not previously declined the telephone redemption
privilege.
|
|
You
may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an
Invesco
IRA by telephone. Redemptions from Employer Sponsored
Retirement
and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be
initiated
only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate
distribution
form, as well as employer authorization. You must call the
Funds’
transfer agent before the Funds’ net asset value
determination
(as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect
the
redemption at that day’s net asset value. |
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent’s 24-hour Automated Investor Line at

▪ You
have already provided proper bank information.
Redemptions
from Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans

require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as
well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing
and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the
NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first
class
U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit,
as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy
and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees and Redemption Gates
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion,
may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In addition,
if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose
a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all,
during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for
the duration of its implementation and the day after which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value
per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or redemption gate will be
reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will
communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and may further communicate such action through a press release
or by other means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all
redemption
orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive
upon redemption of your shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will
not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption
requests submitted while a redemption gate is imposed will be cancelled
without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit
a new redemption request.
Liquidity
fees and redemption gates will generally be used to assist a Fund
to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form
of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next
business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10
business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject
the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is
in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will
consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested
by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including
the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding
the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission
of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise
agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With
regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of
a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who receives
both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the
intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if the purchase order was received prior to
the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where
a Financial Intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose
of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or
the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent
or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
You
may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer
agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must
have a total account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required
Minimum
Distribution
for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
Check
Writing
The
Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
◾
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
◾
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
◾
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
You
may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in amounts of $250
or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account
by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover
the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it
is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account
or try to close your account by writing a check.
A
check writing redemption request which is verifiably submitted to a Fund’s
agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature
Guarantees
The
Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
◾
When
your redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
◾
When
you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number
of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have
transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee
offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion,
whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions
in kind may result in transaction costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You
may purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind
purchases may be made only upon the Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund
and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate
this practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending any securities. Please see the SAI for additional
details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At
times, the Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions
may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition, these transactions may also
accelerate
the realization of taxable income to shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and may also increase
transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may
delay payment of the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with time to determine if the Fund can redeem
the request-in-kind or to consider other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain circumstances, however,
the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request, which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is detrimental
to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If
your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase
in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds
have the right to redeem the account after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed
during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other
Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies.
Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security
or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the
Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions.
The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural
persons, after providing advance notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss
in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6 shares)
A
low balance fee of $12 per year may be deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account)
with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The
Funds and the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various
factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted
on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with
the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one
Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another
Fund
effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes
applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting
an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to acquire.
All
exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the prospectuses of
the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares
you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of
that Fund.
Permitted
Exchanges
Except
as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following
table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

A, C or R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class
Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares
must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares
for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds.
The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate
this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You
may be required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you
are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period
for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans among
the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund
may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table
and financial highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund
you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares
of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share
class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of
the Funds available or that cannot systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your
financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details.
Any CDSC associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. 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. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class
C and Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the
same Fund, respectively, except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’
Class C and/or Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class and all
existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June
2022 (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month
following the eighth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion Date). The first conversion of Class C
and Class CX shares to Class A and Class AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all Class C and Class
CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis
of the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions
of Class C and Class CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of
dividends and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for
Invesco
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature
by the financial intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been held for the required holding period.
It is the financial intermediary’s (and not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the shareholder
is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class
C or Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant
to the Conversion Feature. In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these circumstances, it is the responsibility
of the shareholder or their financial intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the Conversion Feature, and
the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs
or platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In
these cases, Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature as described above. The Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a financial intermediary’s
process for determining whether a shareholder meets the required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The
following share class conversions are not permitted:
◾
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
◾
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each
Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
◾
Reject
or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
◾
Modify
any terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
◾
Reject
or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
◾
Modify
or terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
◾
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While
the Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are
not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading
activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice
versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage
and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices
for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds, Invesco Conservative
Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund. However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would
be in the best interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail
Funds:
◾
Trade
activity monitoring.
◾
Discretion
to reject orders.
◾
The
use of fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools
are designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together
eliminate the possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur. Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments
that are inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe
is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards of Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio (the money market
funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must maintain additional cash and/or
securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the money
market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the following reasons:
◾
The
money market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore, investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares
regularly and frequently.
◾
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.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, 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, the money market funds are not
subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
◾
With
respect to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value,
investors are more likely to expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of Invesco Conservative Income
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that
it is appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and
must be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
◾
One
of the advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any
part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions,
and determined that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described below. Nonetheless,
to the extent that the Fund must maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater amounts than may otherwise
be required or borrow to honor redemption requests, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following reasons:
◾
The
Fund is designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their investment and seek the ability to purchase and
redeem shares at any time.
◾
Any
policy that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of the Fund.
◾
The
Fund generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any
purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of
this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a
manner that they believe is consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking
the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply
the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through accounts
that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited
or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If
a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in
its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or
exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The
Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more
from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date.
The policy applies to redemptions and purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases
will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases
and redemptions
of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within
the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees;
small balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions;
transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those
not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific
shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent
trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are
unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser
believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to
disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that
apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s
trading. There is no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income
Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The
price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies
are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund,
Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) value securities
and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
value portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable
a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day.
The Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described
below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not
representative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”)
because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security
ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage
of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset
value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events
that affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant
movement in the U.S. market. Where
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available
from pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value methodologies may value securities higher
or lower than another Fund using market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same securities. Investors who purchase
or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of shares, or higher
or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved
policies and related procedures,
subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods
and pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is calculated. An additional intended effect is to
discourage those seeking to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to mitigate the dilutive
impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured
floating rate debt securities are fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided
by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread,
individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market quotations are generally
available and reliable for domestic exchange traded equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the Adviser
will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market quotations are available and reliable for
foreign exchange traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign
securities end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a particular
security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price unreliable,
the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely
to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening
process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market
where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser
believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication
of fair value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree
of certainty may change from time to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that
are not business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value
of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem
shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income securities, such as government,
corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally are valued
on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally
value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a Fund may hold or transact in the same
securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received from pricing
services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable,
the Adviser will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value all their securities at amortized
cost. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund values variable rate securities that have an unconditional demand or put feature exercisable
within seven days or less at par, which reflects the market value of such securities.
Futures
and Options. Futures contracts are valued at the final settlement
price set by the exchange on which they are principally traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last
bid and asked prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S. exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement
price set by
the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent
pricing services.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include
end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end
funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund
in which it invests, and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing
and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary close of regular trading) or earlier
in the case of a scheduled early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day. Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at
their closing prices unless the Adviser determines
that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business
day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day
that (1) both the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business and (2) the primary trading markets
for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet purchase
and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial Markets
Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities dealers close early.
If
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses its discretion to
close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends
that government securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last
day of the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions
in the normal course of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each Fund’s portfolio securities
transactions are recorded no later than the first business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Global
Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco International Bond Fund
and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries
(the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.
The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the
Funds, which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the
value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market quotations are readily available. All
other securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be
to reduce the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially “stale”
prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ
from the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair
valuation techniques are applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions
(i.e., publicly traded company multiples, growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a valuation that
the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value
from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and
the degree of subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than expected gain or loss upon the sale of the
investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each
Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer
agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
prior to the close of business on a business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any
applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds
and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value
next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary
is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it,
which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances.
As a result, any deferred tax liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S. federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions
considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments.
The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized
and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and
unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset
balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards
Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred
tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some
or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such
evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of
current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital
loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Consideration is also given to market
cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The
Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation
of the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used
in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s
NAV.
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some
extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital,
which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for
purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its NAV. If such information is not
received
from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital
based on average historical tax characterization of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances used to calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income
tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current
basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates and assumptions
regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates
or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally
accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and
changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds and Invesco Master Loan Fund)
A
Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income
and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally
are taxable to you whether you reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information
showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
◾
A
Fund earns income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation
of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor,
distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
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 Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of
a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible
for taxation at these reduced rates.
◾
The
use of derivatives by a Fund 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.
◾
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if paid to you by the end of January—are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as if received in December.
◾
Any
long-term or short-term capital gains realized on the 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 Fund’s 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains.
A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in
a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.”
In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable
distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is 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 person’s “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.
◾
You
will not be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a 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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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. 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.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
If
a Fund invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s
investment in such underlying fund.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable
to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such
investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the
tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
◾
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.
◾
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 noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s
personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal securities of other states.
◾
A
Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund
are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
◾
A
Fund may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are
a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation
in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
◾
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits,
may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral
federal income tax consequences for you.
◾
There
are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the 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 Fund’s shares,
to decline.
Money
Market Funds
◾
A
Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
◾
If
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 (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
◾
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the
subject of future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the
Fund at such time.
◾
Unless
you choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange
of Fund shares (as noted above) generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for one year or less, or long-term
if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on every taxable
disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your
Fund shares during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares
during that period. Under the NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
◾
Because
of “noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties will exceed its taxable
income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is classified as a return of
capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
◾
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates applicable to qualified dividend income.
◾
The
Fund may derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage pooling vehicles either directly or through
an investment in a U.S. REIT. 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.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and
portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers.
The Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund
and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their shares.
◾
The
Fund’s 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.
Funds
Investing in Partnerships
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership
are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of a partnership
that a Fund invests in (including MLPs taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax. A Fund
may have little input in any audit asserted against a partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard
to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even
if a partnership in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a corporation), it could be required
to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such
partnership, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund
shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate
taxpayers. The legislation does not contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special character of this income
through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified publicly traded partnership income” to its
shareholders.
◾
Some
amounts received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated
deductions available to the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund invests could cause some or all of the
Fund’s distributions to be 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.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
◾
The
Funds’ strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and other financially linked instruments whose
performance is expected to correspond to the 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 commodities.
◾
The
Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements.
The IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes
of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only
the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create
commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated
investment company that require a determination of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of
the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security
under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) The Funds
intend to treat the income each derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion from counsel confirming that
income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36)
of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect
to the Fund. As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that
year (“Subpart F” income), whether or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying
income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve
the right to rely on deemed inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct investment
in commodity-linked notes 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 Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy
the asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
◾
The
Funds 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 Funds. If such regulations are issued,
each Fund may not qualify as a RIC 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 each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each 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
Funds’ transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from
fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds' ordinary income distributions
to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds' previously distributed income to be 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.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds
only)
Although
the Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all
of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially
all of the Fund’s investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to
the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition,
as a regular corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore,
the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions
to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to
which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce
the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the
following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund
Tax Basics
◾
The
Fund intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP. Accordingly,
the Fund will be
required
to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP,
regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the
cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP
interest. The Fund expects that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will
exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion
that will be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized,
the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for distribution to shareholders.
◾
The
Fund will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities
of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition and the Fund’s
adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless
of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund.
The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP
equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result
of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to
the amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income
and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such
MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax liability, such distribution
will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount
of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital
loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s
capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal
income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
◾
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as
dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as
determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s
taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction
if received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received
deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S.
federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder
receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate
U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
◾
If
the amount of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first
as a tax-deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and thereafter
as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain
if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the distribution
received
by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized
by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
◾
The
Fund anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it
will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects
that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income
tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
◾
Special
rules may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be
calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in treatment may,
for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular
year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits
rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount
of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could
be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
◾
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a
cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
◾
A
redemption of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a
dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in the Fund,
or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions
as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital
gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
◾
If
the Fund is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal,
state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the Fund and may
increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund
shareholders being treated as dividends. 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 IRS.
Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use
a different calculation 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
◾
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.
◾
At
the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to
you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares
an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time,
reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
◾
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 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
◾
A
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends 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 person’s “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.
◾
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
◾
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.
◾
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to
certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply (or be
deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned
foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or
other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder
of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
◾
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership
level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in the Fund
being required to pay federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually
or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense. Accordingly,
even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest
and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
◾
Under
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the
MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not
contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this
deduction
(since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such
as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the applicable account documents/program
description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable
to them.
Federal
Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Master Loan Fund only)
United
States Taxes
The
Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership,
the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described
below, incurs no federal income tax liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income,
gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement
entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status of their distributive share
of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation
of Distributions, Sales and Exchanges
In
general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s
adjusted tax basis in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation
of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution
in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received
exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund
for money.
When
you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The
use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations
of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital
gain. Changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable
income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk
of Audit of the Fund
Under
the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service
(“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable
penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the
tax liability
resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have
the ability to shift any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit,
but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new audit
rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION
OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In
addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become
effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits
and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated
Business Taxable Income
An
allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to
the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare
Tax
An
additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “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. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment
income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account
by the Investor if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund,
and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such
income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State,
Local and Non-US Tax Matters
An
Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares,
generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective
investors should consider their individual state and local tax consequences
of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Considerations for Non-US Investors
If,
as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on
the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
Certain categories of income, including portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized
on disposition of US real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien
individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other
hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not
apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively
connected income allocable to non-US Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would
be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated
as effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares
(whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the partnership sold
its underlying assets and applicable US
withholding
tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
Under
the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source
payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies
its direct and indirect US ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by
the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which
is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US taxing authorities or other
parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails
to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
For
a more complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences
of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This
discussion of “Federal Income Taxes” is not intended or written
to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal,
state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the Fund.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The
financial adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution
fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash payments
to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include
cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources,
from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under
their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including
bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential
basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s
management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the financial
intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial
intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. The
payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall
not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales
of shares of the Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor
accounts. Invesco Affiliates
may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote
the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental
management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency,
omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged
back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the
services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your
financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial
adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To
reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address
(Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not
want the mailing of these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer
agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies
for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information
may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about
the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports
to shareholders contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also
files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports
on Form N-PORT.

All historical financial information and other information contained in this Statement of Additional Information (SAI) relating to the
Fund (or any classes thereof) for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 is that of its predecessor fund (or the corresponding classes
thereof).
Shares
of Beneficial Interest
Shares
of beneficial interest of the Trust are redeemable at their net asset value at the option of the shareholder
or at the option of the Trust, in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Trust Agreement and applicable law, subject in certain
circumstances to a contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
The
Trust allocates cash and property it receives from the issue or sale of shares together with all assets in
which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, to the appropriate Fund,
as applicable, subject only to the rights of creditors of that Fund. These assets constitute the assets belonging to each Fund, are segregated
on the Trust’s books, and are charged with the liabilities and expenses of such Fund and its respective classes. The Trust allocates
any general liabilities and expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular Fund primarily on the basis of
relative net assets or other relevant factors, subject to oversight by the Board.
Each
share of each Fund represents an equal pro rata interest in that Fund with each other share and is entitled
to dividends and other distributions with respect to the Fund, which may be from income, capital gains,
capital or distributions in kind, as declared by the Board.
Each
class of shares of a Fund represents a proportionate undivided interest in the net assets belonging to
that Fund. Differing sales charges and expenses will result in differing net asset values and dividends and distributions.
Upon any liquidation of the Trust, shareholders of each class are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets belonging to the applicable
Fund allocable to such class available for distribution after satisfaction of, or reasonable provision for, the outstanding liabilities
of the Fund allocable to such class.
The
Trust Agreement provides that each shareholder, by virtue of having become a shareholder of the Trust,
is bound by terms of the Trust Agreement and the Trust’s Bylaws. Ownership of shares does not make shareholders third party beneficiaries
of any contract entered into by the Trust.
The
Trust is not required to hold annual or regular meetings of shareholders. Meetings of shareholders of a
Fund or class will be held for any purpose determined by the Board, including from time to time to consider matters requiring a vote of
such shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, state law or the provisions of the Trust Agreement. It is not expected
that shareholder meetings will be held annually.
The
Trust Agreement provides that the Board may authorize (i) a merger, consolidation or sale of assets (including,
but not limited to, mergers, consolidations or sales of assets between two Funds, or between a Fund and a series of any other registered
investment company), and (ii) the combination of two or more classes of shares of a Fund into a single class, each without shareholder
approval but subject to applicable requirements under the 1940 Act and state law.
Each
share of a Fund generally has the same voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights; however, each class
of shares of a Fund is subject to different sales loads, conversion features, exchange privileges and class-specific expenses, as applicable.
Except
as specifically noted above, shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote per share (with proportionate
voting for fractional shares), irrespective of the relative net asset value of the shares of the Fund. However, on matters affecting an
individual Fund or class of shares, a separate vote of shareholders of that Fund or class is required. Shareholders of a Fund or class
are not entitled to vote on any matter which does not affect that Fund or class but that requires a separate vote of another Fund or class.
An example of a
matter
that would be voted on separately by shareholders of each Fund is the approval of the advisory agreement
with Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco).
When
issued, shares of each Fund are fully paid and nonassessable, have no preemptive or subscription rights,
and are freely transferable. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in connection with the election of Trustees or on any other matter.
Under
Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to shareholders of private for-profit corporations organized under Delaware law. There is a remote possibility, however,
that shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held liable for the obligations of the Trust to the extent the courts of another
state, which does not recognize such limited liability, were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such obligations.
The Trust Agreement disclaims shareholder personal liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of the Trust and requires
that every undertaking of the Trust or the Board relating to the Trust or any Fund include a recitation limiting such obligation to the
Trust and its assets or to one or more of the Funds and the assets belonging thereto. The Trust Agreement provides for indemnification
out of the property of a Fund (or Class, as applicable) for all losses and expenses of any shareholder of such Fund held personally liable
solely on account of being or having been a shareholder.
The
trustees and officers of the Trust will not be liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any
trustee or officer; however, a trustee or officer is not protected against any liability to the Trust or to the shareholders to which
a trustee or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office with the Trust or applicable Fund (Disabling Conduct). The Trust’s Bylaws
generally provide for indemnification by the Trust of the trustees, officers and employees or agents of the Trust, provided that such
persons have not engaged in Disabling Conduct. Indemnification does not extend to judgments or amounts paid in settlement in any actions
by or in the right of the Trust. The Trust Agreement also authorizes the purchase of liability insurance on behalf of trustees and officers
with Fund assets. The Trust’s Bylaws provide for the advancement of payments of expenses to current and former trustees, officers
and employees or agents of the Trust, or anyone serving at their request, in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense
to any claim, action, suit or proceeding, for which such person would be entitled to indemnification; provided that any advancement of
expenses would be reimbursed unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
The
Trust Agreement provides that any Trustee who serves as chair of the Board,
a member or chair of a committee of the Board, lead independent
Trustee, or an expert on any topic or in any area (including an audit committee financial expert), or in any other special appointment
will not be subject to any greater standard of care or liability because of such position.
The
Trust Agreement provides a detailed process for the bringing of derivative actions by shareholders. A shareholder
may only bring a derivative action on behalf of the Trust if certain conditions are met. Among other things, such conditions: (i) require
shareholder(s) to make a pre-suit demand on the Trustees (unless such effort is not likely to succeed because a majority of the Board
or the committee established to consider the merits of such action are not independent Trustees under Delaware law); (ii) require 10%
of the beneficial owners to join in the pre-suit demand, or if a pre-suit demand is not required, require 10% of beneficial owners to
join in the demand for the Board to commence such action; and (iii) afford the Trustees a reasonable amount of time to consider the request
and investigate the basis of the claims (including designating a committee to consider the demand and hiring counsel or other advisers).
These conditions generally are intended to provide the Trustees with the ability to pursue a claim if they believe doing so would be in
the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders and to preclude the pursuit of claims that the Trustees determine to be without merit
or otherwise not in the Trust’s best interest to pursue.
The
Trust Agreement also generally requires that actions by shareholders in connection with or against the
Trust or a Fund be brought only in certain Delaware courts,
provided that actions arising under the U.S. federal securities
laws are required to be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and that the right to jury trial
be waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Share
Certificates
Shareholders
of the Funds do not have the right to demand or require the Trust to issue share certificates and
share certificates are not issued. Any certificate previously issued with respect to any shares is deemed to be cancelled without any
requirement for surrender to the Trust.
DESCRIPTION
OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR INVESTMENTS AND RISKS
Classification
The
Trust is an open-end management investment company. Each of the Funds (except Invesco American
Franchise Fund and Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund) is classified as "diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act. Invesco American Franchise
Fund and Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund are classified as "non-diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act, which means the Funds can
invest a greater percentage of their assets in a small number of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
Invesco
NASDAQ 100 Index Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as its target
index is diversified. However, the Fund may be “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of a change
in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of its target index. A non-diversified fund can invest
a greater percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified fund can.
Investment
Strategies and Risks
Set
forth below are detailed descriptions of the various types of securities and investment techniques that Invesco
and/or the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein) may use in managing the Funds, as well as the risks associated with those types of securities
and investment techniques. The descriptions of the types of securities and investment techniques below supplement the discussion of principal
investment strategies and risks contained in each Fund's Prospectus. Where a particular type of security or investment technique is not
discussed in a Fund’s Prospectus, that security or investment technique is not a principal investment strategy.
A
Fund may invest in all of the following types of investments (unless otherwise indicated). A Fund might not
invest in all of these types of securities or use all of these techniques at any one time. Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers may invest
in other types of securities and may use other investment techniques in managing the Funds, including those described below for Funds
not specifically mentioned as investing in the security or using the investment technique, as well as securities and techniques not
described. A Fund’s transactions in a particular type of security or use of a particular technique is subject to limitations imposed
by a Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions described in that Fund’s Prospectus and/or this SAI, as well
as the federal securities laws.
Unless
a Fund’s prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage limitation or fundamental or non-fundamental restriction applies on an
ongoing basis, it applies only at the time a Fund makes an investment. That means a Fund is not required to sell securities to meet
the
percentage limits or investment restrictions if the value
of the investment increases
in proportion
to the size of a Fund.
Percentage limits on borrowing apply on an ongoing basis.
The
Funds' investment objectives, policies, strategies and practices described below are non-fundamental and
may be changed without approval of the holders of the Funds’ voting securities, unless otherwise indicated.
Incidental
to their other investment activities and unless otherwise indicated in a Fund’s prospectus, Funds
that have a principal investment strategy of primarily investing in fixed income securities, may acquire equity securities (including
common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, warrants and rights) or other investments that the Fund ordinarily would not
purchase, in connection with a bankruptcy, restructuring, workout or other extraordinary event concerning a particular portfolio investment.
To the extent a Fund acquires equity securities or investments as described above, it may also purchase additional equity securities or
investments of those issuers.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans. Among other debt securities described elsewhere
in this SAI, the Fund may invest in loans, and in particular, in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable”
rate loans) that hold (or in the judgment of the Adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign corporations,
partnerships or other business entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority of claim ahead of (or at least as
high as) other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred to as “Senior Loans”
in this SAI. Loans typically are arranged through private negotiations between a borrower and one or more financial institutions (Lenders).
Usually the Lenders are represented by an agent (Agent), which usually is one of the Lenders. The borrowers may use the proceeds of loans
to finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, debt refinancings, or for other purposes.
Senior
loans typically have higher recoveries than other debt obligations that rank lower in the priority of payments
for a particular debtor, because in most instances they take preference over those subordinated debt obligations, with respect to payment
of interest and principal, and over stock. However, the Fund is still subject to the risk that the borrower under a loan will default
on scheduled interest or principal payments and that the assets of the borrower to which the Fund has recourse will be insufficient to
satisfy in full the payment obligations that the borrower has to the Fund. The risk of default will increase in the event of an economic
downturn or, in the case of a floating rate loan, a substantial increase in interest rates (because the cost of the borrower’s
debt service will increase as the interest rate on its loan is upwardly adjusted). The Fund may own a debt obligation of a borrower that
becomes, or is about to become, insolvent. The Fund can also purchase debt obligations that are extended to a bankrupt entity (so called
debtor-in-possession or ‘DIP’ financing) or debt obligations that are issued in connection with a restructuring of the borrower
under bankruptcy laws.
Agents
typically are commercial or investment banks that originate loans and invite other parties to join the
lending syndicate. In larger transactions, it is common to have several Agents. However, only one Agent usually has primary responsibility
for documentation and administration of the loan. Agents are normally paid fees by the borrower for their services. While the Fund can
serve as the Agent or co-agent for a loan, the Fund currently does not intend to act as an Agent or co-Agent. Agents, acting on behalf
of the Lenders, generally are primarily responsible for negotiating the loan agreement, which establishes the terms and conditions of
the loan and the rights of the borrower and the Lenders. The Fund will rely on Agents to collect payments of principal and interest on
a loan. The Fund also will rely in part on Agents to monitor compliance by the borrower with the restrictive covenants in the loan agreement
and to notify the Fund (or the Lender from whom the Fund has purchased a participation) of any adverse change in the borrower’s
financial condition.
Loans
may be secured or unsecured. Where a loan is secured, Agents usually monitor the adequacy of assets
that collateralize loans. In reliance upon the opinions of their legal counsel, Agents generally are also responsible for determining
that the Lenders have obtained a perfected security interest in the collateral securing loans, if any.
Financial
difficulties of Agents can pose a risk to the Fund. If an Agent for a particular loan becomes insolvent,
the Fund could incur losses in connection with its investment in that loan. An Agent could declare bankruptcy, and a regulatory authority
could appoint a receiver or conservator. Should this occur, the assets that the Agent holds under the loan agreement, if any, should continue
to be available to the Lenders, including the Fund. A regulator or a court, however, might determine that any such assets are subject
to the claims of the Agent’s general or secured creditors. If that occurs, the Fund might incur costs and delays in realizing final
payment on a loan, or the Fund might suffer a loss of principal or interest. The Fund may be subject to similar risks when it buys a participation
interest in a loan. Most participations purchased by the Fund are structured to be “true sales” of the underlying loan,
in which case the loan should not be included in the bankruptcy estate of the participation seller. However, a court might determine that
the participation was not in fact a “true sale”, in which case the Fund would be a general unsecured creditor of the participation
seller.
In
certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the event of fraud or misrepresentation
by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of the anti-fraud
provisions
of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders
generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
The
Funds have no limits as to the maturity of other loans in which they invest or as to the market capitalization
range of the borrowers. The Funds can invest a variable amount of each of their net assets in investments rated below “B.”
How
the Fund Invests in Loans. The Fund may invest in loans in one
or more of three ways: the Fund may invest directly in a loan by acting as an original Lender; the Fund may invest directly in a loan
by purchasing a loan by an assignment (an “Assignment”) from the Agent or other Lender; or the Fund may invest indirectly
in a loan by purchasing a participation interest in a loan (Participation Interest) from an Agent or other Lender. The Fund may also gain
exposure to loans indirectly using certain derivative instruments, which is discussed elsewhere in this SAI.
•
Original
Lender. The Fund can invest in loans, generally “at par”
(a price for the loan equal approximately to 100% of the funded principal amount of the loan, minus any original issue discount) as an
original lender. When the Fund is an original lender, it is entitled to receive a return at the full interest rate for the loan. When
the Fund is an original lender, it will have a direct contractual relationship with the borrower and will have direct recourse against
the borrower in the event the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal or interest.
•
Assignments.
The Fund may also purchase a loan by assignment. When the Fund purchases a loan by assignment, it typically succeeds to whatever rights
and obligations the assigning lender had under the loan agreement and becomes a “lender” under the loan agreement, entitled
to the same rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement or set-off rights) that are available to lenders generally.
•
Participation
Interests. These investments represent an undivided, indirect interest
in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan, or are members of the
loan syndicate. The participation seller remains as lender of record, and continues to face the borrower, the agent, and the other parties
to the loan agreement, while the Fund generally acquires beneficial ownership of the loan. Participation interests are subject to the
ongoing counterparty risk of the participation seller as well as the credit risk of the borrower.
While
the Fund expects to have access to financial and other information regarding the borrower that has been
made available to the lenders under a loan, it may not have such information in connection with participation interests and certain loan
assignments. Additionally, the amount of public information available with respect to loans generally will be less extensive than what
is available for exchange-listed or otherwise registered securities.
Participation
interests involve risks for the Fund. Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the creditworthiness
of the borrower, which is obligated to make payments of principal and interest on the loan. In buying a participation interest, however,
the Fund assumes both the credit risk of the borrower and the counterparty risk of the Lender selling the participation interest. As with
an assignment or a loan originated by the Fund, there is a risk that a borrower may have difficulty making payments. If a borrower fails
to pay scheduled interest or principal payments, the Fund’s income may be reduced and the value of the investment in the participation
interest might also decline. Further, the seller of the participation interest will have no obligation to the Fund other than to pay the
Fund the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments it receives from the borrower. In addition, if the seller of the
participation interest fails to perform its obligations, purchasers might incur costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer a loss
of principal and/or interest, including in cases where the borrower may have performed its obligation to the Lender that issued the participation
(e.g., if the participation seller fails to pass along to the Fund payments received from the borrower). Although most participation interests
purchased by the Fund are structured to cause the Fund to become beneficial owner of the relevant loans, and therefore avoid this outcome,
if a Lender that sells the Fund a participation interest becomes insolvent, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the Lender.
As
a general creditor, the Fund will have to share the proceeds of the loan with any other creditors of the Lender.
The Fund will acquire a participation interest only if the investment adviser determines that the Lender (or other intermediary Participant)
selling the participation interest is creditworthy.
The
Fund’s rights under a participation interest with respect to a particular loan may be more limited than the
rights of original Lenders or of investors who acquire an assignment of that loan. The Fund has the right to receive payments of principal,
interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the participation interest and only when the Lender receives
the payments from the borrower. In purchasing participation interests, the Fund will usually have a contractual relationship only with
the selling institution and not the underlying borrower. The Fund generally will have no right directly to enforce compliance by the borrower
with the terms of the related loan agreement, nor will the Fund necessarily have the right to object to certain changes to the loan agreement
agreed to by the selling institution. If the Fund buys a participation interest in a loan, the Fund may be subject to any rights of set-off
the borrower has against the selling institution (although recourse to the selling institution may be available in the event of any such
set-off). In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the borrower, the obligation of the borrower to repay the loan may be subject to
certain defenses that can be asserted by the borrower as a result of any improper conduct of the Lender selling the participation (although
recourse to the Lender may be available). As a result, the Fund may be subject to delays, expenses and risks that are greater than those
that exist when the Fund is an original Lender or assignee, and therefore a participation may be relatively illiquid as compared to a
direct investment in a loan because of a smaller universe of investors who are willing to assume these additional risks present in a participation.
Recourse.
When the Fund invests in loans as an original lender it will have direct recourse against the borrower in the event of a failure to pay
scheduled principal or interest. When it purchases a loan by assignment, it typically succeeds to whatever rights the assigning lender
had under the loan agreement, and will therefore be entitled to the same rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement or set-off
rights) that are available to lenders generally. When the Fund buys a participation interest, it assumes the credit risk of the borrower
and the counterparty risk of the lender selling the participation interest (and, in certain circumstances, such lender’s credit
risk), and the terms of the participation may not entitle the Fund to all rights of a direct lender under the loan (for example, with
respect to consent, voting or enforcement rights). Therefore, the Fund’s rights under a participation interest for a particular
loan may be more limited than the rights of the original lender or an investor who acquires an assignment of that loan. Where the Fund
invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund generally will have no right of direct recourse against the borrower or ability to otherwise
directly enforce the terms of the loan agreement.
Investments
in Pooled Investment Entities that Invest in Loans. The Fund can
also buy interests in trusts and other pooled entities (including other investment companies) that invest primarily or exclusively in
loan obligations, including entities sponsored or advised by the Adviser or an affiliate. The Fund will be subject to the pooled entity’s
credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans. The loans underlying these investments may include loans to foreign
or U.S. borrowers, may be collateralized or uncollateralized and may be rated investment grade or below investment-grade or may be unrated.
These investments are subject to the risk of default by the borrower, interest rate and prepayment risk, as well as credit risks of the
pooled entity that holds the loan obligations.
Fees.
The Fund may be required to pay and may receive various fees and commissions in connection with purchasing, selling and holding interests
in loans. Borrowers typically pay three kinds of fees to Lenders: facility fees (which may be structured as original issue discount) when
a loan is originated; commitment fees on an ongoing basis based on the unused portion of a loan commitment; and prepayment penalties when
a borrower prepays a loan.
The
Fund receives these fees directly from the borrower if the Fund is an original Lender or, in the case of commitment
fees and prepayment penalties, if the Fund acquires an assignment. Whether the Fund receives a facility fee in the case of an assignment
or participation interest depends on negotiations between the Fund and the Lender selling the interests.
When
the Fund buys an assignment or a participation, it may be required to pay a fee, or cede a portion of
the interest and fees that accrued prior to settlement of the assignment, to the lender selling the assignment or the participant. Occasionally,
the selling lender pays a fee to the assignee or the participant. If the Fund assigns a loan or sells a participation, it may be required
to pass along to a buyer a portion of any interest and fees that the Fund would otherwise be entitled to. In addition, in the case of
an assignment, the Fund may be required to pay a transfer fee to the lending agent. If the Fund sells a participation Interest, the Fund
may be required to pay a transfer fee to the Lender that holds the nominal interest in the loan.
Interest
Rate Benchmarks for Floating Rate Loans. The loans in which the
Fund invests typically have floating or adjustable interest rates. For that reason, the Adviser expects that when interest rates change,
the values of these floating rate loans will fluctuate less than the values of fixed-rate debt securities, and that the net asset values
of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate less than the shares of funds that invest mainly in fixed-rate debt obligations. However, the
interest rates of some floating rate loans adjust only periodically. Between the times that interest rates on floating rate loans adjust
(which is most often quarterly, but may be monthly, every six months, or some other period), the interest rates on those floating rate
loans may not correlate to prevailing interest rates. That will affect the value of the loans and may cause the net asset values of the
Fund’s shares to fluctuate.
The
applicable rate is defined in the loan agreement. Borrowers tend to select the base lending rate that results
in the lowest interest cost, and the benchmark selected by a borrower for its loans may change from time to time (but the benchmark selected
for a particular loan will remain the same for the life of that loan). If the benchmark interest rate on a floating rate loan changes,
the rate payable to lenders under the floating rate loan will, in turn, change at the next scheduled adjustment date. If the benchmark
rate increases, the Fund would earn interest at a higher rate on that floating rate loan after the next scheduled adjustment date. If
the benchmark rate decreases, the Fund would earn interest at a lower rate on that floating rate loan after the next scheduled adjustment
date.
The
Fund may use interest rate swap agreements and other hedging practices to mitigate fluctuations in value
when the interest rate under the loan is periodically reset. The Fund may invest in loans having a fixed rate of interest; however, it
is unlikely to do so because fixed rate loans are uncommon in the loan market generally.
Interest
rates on floating rate loans adjust periodically based on a benchmark rate plus a premium or spread
over the benchmark rate. The benchmark rate usually is the Prime Rate, LIBOR, the Federal Reserve federal funds rate, or other base lending
rates used by commercial lenders (each as defined in the applicable loan agreement).
•
The
Prime Rate quoted by a major U.S. bank is generally the interest rate at which that bank is willing to lend U.S. dollars to its most creditworthy
borrowers, although it may not be the bank’s lowest available rate.
•
LIBOR
usually is an average of the interest rates quoted by several designated banks as the rates at which they pay interest to major depositors
in the London interbank market on deposits in a particular currency. For U.S. dollar-denominated senior loans, any applicable LIBOR rate
for senior loans would be in respect of U.S. dollar deposits. The market views changes in short-term LIBOR rates as closely related to
changes in the Federal Reserve federal funds rate, although the two are not officially related.
•
The
Federal Reserve federal funds rate is the rate that the Federal Reserve Bank charges member banks for borrowing money.
The
interest rate on Prime Rate-based loans floats daily as the Prime Rate changes, while the interest rate
on LIBOR based loans is reset periodically, typically between 30 days and one year. Quarterly interest periods are most common for floating
rate loans in which the Fund invests. Certain floating or variable rate loans may permit the borrower to select an interest rate reset
period of up to one year (although interest periods longer than six months will often require lender consent). Investing in loans with
longer interest rate reset periods or fixed interest rates may increase fluctuations in the Fund’s net asset value as a result
of
changes
in market interest rates: falling short-term floating interest rates tend to decrease the income payable to
the Fund on its floating rate loan investments, and rising short-term floating interest rates tend to increase that income. However, the
Fund may attempt to hedge its fixed rate loans against interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swaps or total return
swap transactions. Nevertheless, changes in interest rates can affect the value of the Fund’s floating rate loans, especially if
rates change sharply in a short period, because the resets of the interest rates on the underlying portfolio of floating rate loans occur
periodically and will not all happen simultaneously with changes in prevailing rates.
Floating
rate loans are generally structured so that borrowers pay higher margins when they elect LIBOR-based
borrower options. This permits lenders to obtain generally consistent yields on floating rate loans, regardless of whether borrowers select
the LIBOR-based options or the Prime-based option. In market conditions where the differential between the lower LIBOR base rates and
the higher Prime Rate base rates prevailing in the commercial bank markets has widened to the point that the higher margins paid by borrowers
for LIBOR based pricing options do not compensate for the differential between the Prime Rate and the LIBOR base rates, borrowers may
select the LIBOR-based pricing option, resulting in a yield on floating rate loans that is consistently lower than the yield available
from the Prime Rate-based pricing option. In sustained periods of such market conditions, this tendency will significantly limit the ability
of the Fund to achieve a net return to shareholders that consistently approximates the average published Prime Rate of leading U.S. banks.
The Sub-Adviser cannot predict the occurrence of these conditions nor their duration in the event they do occur.
In
addition, in market conditions where short term interest rates are particularly low, certain floating rate loans
may be issued with a feature that prevents the relevant benchmark rate from adjusting below a specified minimum level. This is achieved
by defining a “floor” to the benchmark rate, so that if downward market movements of the benchmark rate would, absent this
feature, cause the benchmark rate to fall below the floor, with this feature, the benchmark rates of these floating rate loans become
fixed at the applicable minimum floor level until short term interest rates (and therefore the benchmark rate) rise above that level.
Although this feature is intended to result in these floating rate loans yielding more than they otherwise would when short term interest
rates are low, the feature might also result in the secondary market prices of these floating rate loans becoming more sensitive to changes
in interest rates should short term interest rates rise.
The
Fund may invest in loans having a fixed rate of interest, however it is unlikely to do so given fixed rate loans
are uncommon in the loan market generally.
Credit
Quality Standards for Loans. Rating organizations, such as S&P
or Moody’s, rate debt obligations by rating the issuer, after evaluating the issuer’s financial soundness. Generally, the
lower the investment rating, the more risky the investment. Debt securities rated below “BBB-” by S&P or “Baa3”
by Moody’s are commonly referred to as “high risk” securities or, in the case of bonds, “junk bonds.”
Loans rated “B” are below investment grade and are regarded by rating organizations as predominantly speculative with respect
to the borrower’s ability to repay interest and principal when due over a long period. While securities rated Baa by Moody’s
or BBB by S&P are considered to be “investment grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. The Fund may invest
in loans that are rated both investment grade and below-investment grade by different rating organizations. An appendix to the Fund’s
Statement of Additional Information includes the definitions of the rating categories of the principal rating organizations. Many loans
are not rated by rating organizations. The lack of a rating does not necessarily imply that a loan is of lesser investment quality.
While
the Fund expects to have access to financial and other information regarding the borrower that has been
made available to the lenders under a loan, it may not have such information in connection with participation interests and certain loan
assignments. Additionally, the amount of public information available with respect to loans generally will be less extensive than what
is available for exchange-listed or otherwise registered securities.
In
certain cases, the Fund’s Sub-Adviser may receive material, non-public information regarding loans, and
its ability to trade in such loans for the account of the Fund could potentially be limited by its possession of such information. Such
limitations on the Fund’s Sub-Adviser’s ability to trade could have an adverse effect
on
the Fund by, for example, preventing the Fund from selling a loan that is experiencing a material decline in value.
In some instances, these trading restrictions could continue in effect for a substantial period of time.
Prepayment.
Loans typically have mandatory and optional prepayment provisions. Senior Loans in general have a stated term of between five and seven
years, and other types of loans that may be invested in may have shorter or longer maturities. Because of prepayments, the actual remaining
maturity of a loan may be considerably less than its stated maturity. Notwithstanding their stated maturity, loans may be prepaid prior
to their stated terms for reasons including, but not limited to, high market demand for loans, refinancing by the borrower, mandatory
prepayment requirements or desire of the borrower to repay outstanding debt. If a borrower prepays a loan, the proceeds will have to be
reinvested in other loans or financial assets that may pay lower rates of return. However, any prepayment and facility fees that are received
may help reduce any adverse impact on a Fund’s yield. Because the interest rates on floating rate loans adjust periodically, the
Adviser believes that prepayments should generally be able to be reinvested in floating rate loans that have yields similar to those that
have been prepaid.
The
reinvestment by the Fund of the proceeds of prepaid loans could result in a reduction of income to the
Fund in falling interest rate environments. Prepayment penalty fees that may be assessed in some cases may help offset the loss of income
to the Fund in those cases.
Subordination.
Senior loans typically hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure. They may include loans that hold the most
senior position alone, loans that hold an equal ranking with other senior debt, or loans that are, in the judgment of the Adviser, in
the category of senior debt of the borrower. Borrowers typically are required contractually to pay the holders of senior loans before
they pay the holders of subordinated debt and preferred or common shareholders and give the holders of senior secured loans a claim on
some or all of the borrower’s assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower
in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt. Lenders obtain priority liens that typically provide the first right to cash
flows or proceeds from the sale of a borrower’s collateral, if any, if the borrower becomes insolvent. That right is subject to
the limitations of bankruptcy law, which may provide higher priority to certain other claims such as, for example, employee salaries,
employee pensions and taxes. Senior loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan to presently existing or
future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans.
That
senior position in the borrower’s capital structure typically gives the holders of senior loans a claim on
some or all of the borrower’s assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower
in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt. This means in the event the assets of the borrower are insufficient in value
to satisfy all its creditors, senior debt will be satisfied in priority to debt that is subordinate to senior debt.
The
Funds have no requirements as to the maturity of the debt securities they can buy, or as to the market
capitalization range of the issuers of those securities.
Lien
Position. Loans that are collateralized may have multiple lenders
or other creditors that take different lien positions. This means that if the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan and
the loan creditors enforce their security interest or if the borrower becomes bankrupt, the secured claims of the creditors in the first
lien position will be satisfied prior to the secured claims of the creditors in the second lien position. While second lien loan positions
generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loan positions, second lien loan positions have
the additional risk that if the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan and the loan creditors enforce their security interest
or if the borrower becomes bankrupt, the secured claims of the creditors in the first lien position will be satisfied prior to the secured
claims of the creditors in the second lien position. If the cash flow and assets of the borrower are insufficient to satisfy both the
first lien loans and the second lien loans in full, the creditors in the second lien position may not be satisfied in full. Intercreditor
arrangements that are often present where a loan has first and second lien positions typically include ‘standstill’ provisions
whereby the enforcement rights of second lien creditors are restricted in favor of the first lien creditors’ rights and give the
first lien creditors the right to accept or reject any restructuring plans in the event of the default or insolvency of the borrower.
If a loan has first and second lien positions, typically the Fund will invest in the first lien position; however, it may invest in
the
second lien position. Second lien positions generally pay a higher margin than first lien positions to compensate
second lien creditors for the greater risk they assume.
Collateral.
Loans, like other debt obligations, are subject to the risk of the borrower’s non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal.
While certain of the Fund’s investments in loans may be secured by collateral that the investment adviser believes to be equal
to or in excess of the principal amount of the loan at the time of investment, there can be no assurance that the liquidation of such
collateral, if any, would satisfy the borrower’s obligations in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments,
or that the collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of a borrower’s bankruptcy, the Fund could experience delays or
limitations in its ability to realize the benefits of collateral securing a loan.
For
the loans in which the Fund invests that are secured by collateral, that collateral may include the borrower’s
tangible assets, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, buildings, and equipment, common and/or preferred stock of
subsidiaries, and intangible assets including trademarks, copyrights, patent rights and franchise value. The Fund may also receive guarantees
or other credit support as a form of security. A loan agreement may or may not require the borrower to pledge additional collateral to
secure a loan if the value of the initial collateral declines, or if additional assets are acquired by the borrower. Collateral may consist
of assets that may not be readily liquidated, and there is no assurance that the liquidation of those assets would satisfy in full a borrower’s
obligations under a loan. A borrower’s subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, or owners may provide collateral in the form of
secured guarantees and/or security interests in assets that they own. However, the value of the collateral may decline after the Fund
invests in the loan, particularly if the collateral consists of equity securities of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates. If
the collateral consists of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the stock may lose all of its value in the event of
a bankruptcy, which would leave the Fund exposed to greater potential loss.
If
a borrower defaults, insolvency laws may limit the Fund’s access to the collateral, or the lenders may be unable
to liquidate the collateral. A bankruptcy court might find that the lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security
under the loan to be invalid, or a bankruptcy court may require the borrower to use the collateral to pay other outstanding obligations
prior to satisfying the lenders in full. If the collateral consists of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries, the stock may lose all
of its value in the event of a bankruptcy, which would leave the Fund exposed to greater potential loss. In addition, in the event of
a borrower default on a collateralized loan, the Fund may receive assets other than cash or securities in full or partial satisfaction
of the borrower’s obligation under the loan. Those assets may be illiquid, and the Fund might not be able to realize the benefit
of the assets for legal, practical or other reasons. The Fund might hold those assets until the Adviser determines it is appropriate to
dispose of them. If the collateral becomes illiquid or loses some or all of its value, the collateral may not be sufficient in value to
compensate the Fund in full in the event of a default of scheduled interest or principal payments.
The
Fund can invest in loans that are not secured by any specific collateral of the borrower. If the borrower
is unable to pay interest or defaults in the payment of principal, there will be no collateral on which the Fund can foreclose. Therefore,
these loans present greater risks than collateralized loans because the recourse of the Fund to the borrower’s assets in the case
of a default would be as a general unsecured creditor. The Fund applies the same investment and credit standards to unsecured loans as
to secured loans, except for collateral requirements.
Generally,
the Agent for a particular loan is responsible for monitoring collateral and for exercising remedies
available to the Lenders such as foreclosure upon collateral in the event of the borrower’s default. However, the Agent will usually
only be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, and not for ordinary negligence. In certain circumstances, the loan agreement
may authorize the Agent to liquidate the collateral and to distribute the liquidation proceeds pro rata among the lenders. The Fund may
also invest in loans that are not secured by collateral. Unsecured loans involve additional risk because the lenders are general unsecured
creditors of the borrower and any secured creditors may have prior rights of recourse to the assets of the borrower, and the assets of
the borrower may be insufficient to satisfy in full all obligations owed to its creditors.
Highly
Leveraged Transactions and Insolvent Borrowers. The Fund can invest
in loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. These transactions may include operating loans, leveraged buyout loans,
leveraged capitalization loans and other types of acquisition financing. Those loans are subject to greater credit risks than other loans.
Highly leveraged loans and loans in default also may be less liquid than other loans. Highly leveraged loans and loans in default also
may be less liquid than other loans. If the Fund voluntarily or involuntarily sold those types of loans, it might not receive the full
value it expected.
The
Fund can also invest in loans of borrowers that are experiencing, or are likely to experience, financial difficulty.
In addition, the Fund can invest in loans of borrowers that have filed for bankruptcy protection or that have had involuntary bankruptcy
petitions filed against them by creditors. Various laws enacted for the protection of debtors may apply to loans. A bankruptcy proceeding
against a borrower could delay or limit the ability of the Fund to collect the principal and interest payments on that borrower’s
loans. If a lawsuit is brought by creditors of a borrower under a loan, a court or a trustee in bankruptcy could take certain actions
that would be adverse to the Fund. For example:
•
Other
creditors might convince the court to set aside a loan or the collateralization of the loan as a “fraudulent conveyance”
or “preferential transfer.” In that event, the court could recover from the Fund the interest and principal payments that
the borrower made before becoming insolvent. There can be no assurance that the Fund would be able to prevent that recapture.
•
A
bankruptcy court may restructure the payment obligations under the loan so as to reduce the amount to which the Fund would be entitled.
•
The
court might discharge the amount of the loan that exceeds the value of the collateral or assets to which the lenders have recourse.
•
The
court could subordinate the Fund’s rights to the rights of other creditors of the borrower under applicable law.
Borrower
Covenants and Lender Rights. Loan agreements generally have contractual
terms designed to protect Lenders. Loan agreements often include restrictive covenants that limit the activities of the borrower. A restrictive
covenant is a promise by the borrower not to take certain actions that might impair the rights of Lenders. Those covenants typically require
the scheduled payment of interest and principal and may include restrictions on dividend payments and other distributions to the borrower’s
shareholders, provisions requiring the borrower to maintain specific financial ratios or relationships and limits on the borrower’s
total debt. In addition, a covenant may require the borrower to prepay the loan or debt obligation with any excess cash flow, proceeds
of asset sales or casualty insurance, or other available cash. Excess cash flow generally includes net cash flow after scheduled debt
service payments and permitted capital expenditures, among other things, as well as the proceeds from asset dispositions or sales of securities.
A breach of a covenant (after the expiration of any cure period) in a loan agreement that is not waived by the Agent and the Lenders normally
is an event of default, permitting acceleration of the loan. This means that the Agent has the right to demand immediate repayment in
full of the outstanding loan. If a lender accelerates the repayment of a loan because of the borrower’s violation of a restrictive
covenant under the loan agreement, the borrower might default in payment of the loan. If a loan is not paid when due, or if upon acceleration
of a loan, the borrower fails to repay principal and accrued (but unpaid) interest in full, this failure may result in a reduction in
value of the loan (and possibly the Fund’s net asset value).
Lenders
typically have certain voting and consent rights under a loan agreement. Action subject to a Lender
vote or consent generally requires the vote or consent of the holders of some specified percentage of the outstanding principal amount
of a loan. Certain decisions, such as reducing the amount or increasing the time for payment of interest on or repayment of principal
of a loan, or releasing collateral for the loan, frequently requires the unanimous vote or consent of all Lenders affected.
If
the Fund is not a direct lender under the loan because it has invested via a participation, derivative or other
indirect means, the Fund may not be entitled to exercise some or all of the Lender rights described in this section.
Covenant
Lite Loans. Although loan investments are generally subject to
certain restrictive covenants in favor of the investor, certain of the loans in which the Fund may invest may be issued or offered as
“covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial maintenance covenants. “Financial maintenance covenants”
are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels
of cash flow or limiting leverage. In the event of financial deterioration on the part of the borrower, these covenants are included to
permit the lenders to renegotiate the terms of the loan, such as increasing the borrowing costs to the borrower, or to take other actions
which would improve the position of the lender.
Limited
Secondary Market for Loans. Due to restrictions on transfers in
loan agreements and the nature of the private syndication of loans, some loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded
securities. As a result, some loans are illiquid, which means that the Fund may be limited in its ability to sell those loans at an acceptable
price when it wants to in order to generate cash, avoid losses or to meet repurchase requests. The market for illiquid financial assets
is more volatile than the market for liquid securities and it may be more difficult to obtain accurate valuations for the Fund’s
investments. In certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower
or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for
bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law
fraud protections under applicable state law.
Possible
Limited Availability of Loans. Direct investments in loans and,
to a lesser degree, investments in participation interests in or assignments of loans may be limited. The limited availability may be
due to a number of factors. Direct lenders may allocate only a small number of loans to new investors, including the Fund. There may be
fewer loans available for investment that meet the Fund’s credit standards, particularly in times of economic downturns. Also,
lenders or agents may have an incentive to market the less desirable loans to investors such as the Fund while retaining attractive loans
for themselves. This would reduce the amount of attractive investments for the Fund. If market demand for loans increases, the interest
paid by loans that the Fund holds may decrease.
Delayed
Draw Loans. There
may be obligations under a loan agreement to make disbursements of loans after the initial disbursement in certain circumstances, for
example if the loan was partially “unfunded” at the time the Funds invested or if there otherwise is an ongoing commitment
from the lenders to disburse further loans. In addition,
Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund will not purchase a loan that
would require it to make additional loans if as a result of that purchase all of its additional loan commitments in the aggregate would
exceed 20% of its total assets.
Delayed
Settlement. Compared to securities and to certain other types of
financial assets, purchases, and sales of loans, including via participation, take relatively longer to settle. This is partly due to
the nature of loans, which require a written assignment agreement and various ancillary documents for each transfer, and frequently require
discretionary consents from both the borrower and the administrative agent. In addition, dealers frequently insist on matching their purchases
and sales, which can lead to delays in the Fund’s settlement of a purchase or sale in circumstances where the dealer’s corresponding
transaction with another party is delayed. Dealers will also sometimes sell loans short, and hold their trades open for an indefinite
period while waiting for a price movement or looking for inventory to purchase.
This
extended settlement process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne by the Fund; (ii) leave
the Fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay the Fund from realizing
the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit the Fund’s ability to re-sell a loan that it has agreed to purchase if conditions
change (leaving the Fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent the Fund from timely collecting principal and interest payments;
and (vi) expose the Fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences.
The
Loan Syndications and Trading Association (the “LSTA”) has promulgated a “delay compensation” provision
in its standard loan documentation that mitigates the direct risk of permanently losing interest payments as a result of delayed settlement
by causing interest to begin to accrue for the buyer’s account after
the
seventh business day following the trade date (for distressed trades, the twentieth business day). However,
this does not mitigate the other risks of delayed settlement. In addition, the mechanism itself can result in opportunistic behavior:
A seller, having locked in its trade, might delay closing for seven business days in order to maximize its interest collections, even
if it could have closed earlier, while a buyer may no longer feel any pressure to close at all, since interest is accruing for its benefit,
and may choose to use its cash elsewhere. The LSTA has further attempted to put an outer limit on long, unjustified settlement delays
by promulgating “buy-in/sell-out” provisions that allow a party to enter into a “cover” trade if the other
party refuses to close. However, these provisions are complicated, time-consuming, and little-used, and are in any event not triggered
until the fifteenth business day after the trade date (for distressed trades, the fiftieth business day). To the extent the extended loan
settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, such as the need to satisfy redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash,
sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders.
Equity
Investments
Common
Stock. Common stock is issued by a company principally to raise
cash for business purposes and represents an equity or ownership interest in the issuing company. Common stockholders are typically entitled
to vote on important matters of the issuing company, including the selection of directors, and may receive dividends on their holdings.
A Fund participates in the success or failure of any company in which it holds common stock. In the event a company is liquidated or declares
bankruptcy, the claims of bondholders, other debt holders, owners of preferred stock and general creditors take precedence over the claims
of those who own common stock.
The
prices of common stocks change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings
of the issuing company, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
Over-the-Counter
Securities.
Securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers may be traded on securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. The over-the-counter
markets, both in the U.S. and abroad, may have less liquidity than securities exchanges. That lack of liquidity can affect the price the
Fund is able to obtain when it wants to sell a security, because if there are fewer buyers and less demand for a particular security,
the Fund might not be able to sell it at an acceptable price or might have to reduce the price in writing in order to dispose of the security.
There are a number of over-the-counter markets in the U.S., as well as those abroad, as long as a dealer is willing to make a market in
a particular security.
Preferred
Stock.
Preferred stock, unlike common stock, often offers a specified dividend rate payable from a company’s earnings. Preferred stock
also generally has a preference over common stock on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event the company is liquidated
or declares bankruptcy; however, the rights of preferred stockholders on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of
a liquidation or bankruptcy are generally subordinate to the rights of the company’s debt holders and general creditors. If interest
rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline.
Some
fixed rate preferred stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions which provide for the stock to
be retired or redeemed on a predetermined schedule, as well as call/redemption provisions prior to maturity, which can limit the benefit
of any decline in interest rates that might positively affect the price of preferred stocks. Preferred stock dividends may be “cumulative,”
requiring all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before dividends are paid on the issuer’s common stock. Preferred
stock may be “participating,” which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain
cases. In some cases an issuer may offer auction rate preferred stock, which means that the interest to be paid is set by auction and
will often be reset at stated intervals.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies. Small-capitalization (small-cap)
companies may be either established or newer companies, including “unseasoned” companies that have typically been in operation
for less than three years. Mid-capitalization (mid-cap) companies are generally companies that have completed their initial start-up cycle,
and in many cases have established markets and developed seasoned market
teams.
While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve
greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Small- and mid-cap companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded
over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical
for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject
to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell
them. Small- and mid-cap companies may not have established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product
lines. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business
downturns or adverse market conditions. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their
business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have unseasoned
management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular
members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of small, unseasoned
companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short-term, and may have very limited liquidity in a declining market. It may
take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
When
the Fund invests in smaller company securities that might trade infrequently, investors might seek to
trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of those securities (this is sometimes referred to as “price
arbitrage”). If such price arbitrage were successful, it might interfere with the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio
and the Fund may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by that
activity. Successful price arbitrage might also dilute the value of fund shares held by other shareholders.
Equity-Linked
Securities. Equity-linked securities are instruments whose value
is based upon the value of one or more underlying equity securities, a reference rate or an index. Equity-linked securities come in many
forms and may include features, among others, such as the following: (i) may be issued by the issuer of the underlying equity security
or by a company other than the one to which the instrument is linked (usually an investment bank), (ii) may convert into equity securities,
such as common stock, within a stated period from the issue date or may be redeemed for cash or some combination of cash and the linked
security at a value based upon the value of the underlying equity security within a stated period from the issue date, (iii) may have
various conversion features prior to maturity at the option of the holder or the issuer or both, (iv) may limit the appreciation value
with caps or collars of the value of the underlying equity security and (v) may have fixed, variable or no interest payments during the
life of the security which reflect the actual or a structured return relative to the underlying dividends of the linked equity security.
Investments in equity-linked securities may subject a Fund to additional risks not ordinarily associated with investments in other equity
securities. Because equity-linked securities are sometimes issued by a third party other than the issuer of the linked security, a Fund
is subject to risks if the underlying equity security, reference rate or index underperforms or if the issuer defaults on the payment
of the dividend or the common stock at maturity. In addition, the trading market for particular equity-linked securities may be less liquid,
making it difficult for a Fund to dispose of a particular security when necessary and reduced liquidity in the secondary market for any
such securities may make it more difficult to obtain market quotations for valuing the Fund’s portfolio.
Convertible
Securities.
Convertible securities are generally bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities or investments that may be converted
or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at
a stated exchange ratio or predetermined price (the conversion price). A convertible security is designed to provide current income and
also the potential for capital appreciation through the conversion feature, which enables the holder to benefit from increases in the
market price of the underlying common stock. A convertible security may be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular
date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a Fund is
called for redemption or conversion, the Fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying
common
stock, or sell it to a third party, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment
objectives. Convertible securities have general characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities.
A
convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued until the convertible security
matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to non-convertible
debt obligations and are designed to provide for a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks. However, there
can be no assurance of current income because the issuers of the convertible securities may default on their obligations. Convertible
securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less risk than the
corporation’s common stock. Convertible securities are subordinate in rank to any senior debt obligations of the issuer, and, therefore,
an issuer’s convertible securities entail more risk than its debt obligations. Moreover, convertible securities are often rated
below investment grade or not rated because they fall below debt obligations and just above common stock in order of preference or priority
on an issuer’s balance sheet. To the extent that a Fund invests in convertible securities with credit ratings below investment
grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although this may be somewhat offset by the convertibility feature.
Convertible
securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible debt securities of
similar credit quality because of the potential for capital appreciation. The common stock underlying convertible securities may be issued
by a different entity than the issuer of the convertible securities.
The
value of convertible securities is influenced by both the yield of non-convertible securities of comparable
issuers and by the value of the underlying common stock. The value of a convertible security viewed without regard to its conversion feature
(i.e., strictly on the basis of its yield) is sometimes referred to as its “investment value.” The investment value of the
convertible security typically will fluctuate based on the credit quality of the issuer and will fluctuate inversely with changes in prevailing
interest rates. However, at the same time, the convertible security will be influenced by its “conversion value,” which
is the market value of the underlying common stock that would be obtained if the convertible security were converted. Conversion value
fluctuates directly with the price of the underlying common stock, and will therefore be subject to risks relating to the activities of
the issuer and general market and economic conditions. Depending upon the relationship of the conversion price to the market value of
the underlying security, a convertible security may trade more like an equity security than a debt instrument.
If,
because of a low price of the common stock, the conversion value is substantially below the investment value
of the convertible security, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. Generally, if the
conversion value of a convertible security increases to a point that approximates or exceeds its investment value, the value of the security
will be principally influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security will sell at a premium over its conversion value to the
extent investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding an income-producing security.
While
a Fund uses the same criteria to rate a convertible debt security that it uses to rate a more conventional
debt security, a convertible preferred stock is treated like a preferred stock for the Fund’s financial reporting, credit rating
and investment limitation purposes.
Contingent
Convertible Securities (CoCos). CoCos (also referred to as contingent
capital securities) are a form of hybrid fixed income security typically issued by non-U.S. banks that may either convert into common
stock of the issuer or undergo a principal write-down by a predetermined percentage upon the occurrence of a “trigger” event,
such as if (a) the issuer’s capital ratio falls below a specified level or (b) certain regulatory events, such as a change in regulatory
capital requirements, affect the issuer’s continued viability. Unlike traditional convertible securities, the conversion is not
voluntary and the equity conversion or principal write-down features are tailored to the issuing banking institution and its regulatory
requirements.
CoCos
are subject to credit, interest rate and market risks associated with fixed income and equity securities
generally, along with risks typically applicable to convertible securities. CoCos are also subject to loss absorption risk because coupon
payments can potentially be cancelled or deferred at the issuer’s
discretion
or at the request of the relevant regulatory authority in order to help the bank absorb losses. Additionally,
certain call provisions permit an issuer to repurchase CoCos if the regulatory environment or tax treatment of the security (e.g., tax
deductibility of interest payments) changes. This may result in a potential loss to the Fund if the price at which the issuer calls or
repurchases the CoCos is lower than the initial purchase price by the Fund.
CoCos
are subordinate in rank to traditional convertible securities and other debt obligations of an issuer in
the issuer’s capital structure, and therefore, CoCos entail more risk than an issuer’s other debt obligations.
CoCos
are generally speculative and their market value may fluctuate based on a number of unpredictable
factors, including, but not limited to, the creditworthiness of the issuer and/or fluctuations in the issuer’s capital ratios,
supply and demand for CoCos, general market conditions and available liquidity, and economic, financial and political events affecting
the particular issuer or markets in general.
Enhanced
Convertible Securities. “Enhanced” convertible securities
are equity-linked hybrid securities that automatically convert to equity securities on a specified date. Enhanced convertibles have been
designed with a variety of payoff structures, and are known by a variety of different names. Three features common to enhanced convertible
securities are (i) conversion to equity securities at the maturity of the convertible (as opposed to conversion at the option of the security
holder in the case of ordinary convertibles); (ii) capped or limited appreciation potential relative to the underlying common stock; and
(iii) dividend yields that are typically higher than that on the underlying common stock. Thus, enhanced convertible securities offer
holders the opportunity to obtain higher current income than would be available from a traditional equity security issued by the same
company in return for reduced participation in the appreciation potential of the underlying common stock. Other forms of enhanced convertible
securities may involve arrangements with no interest or dividend payments made until maturity of the security or an enhanced principal
amount received at maturity based on the yield and value of the underlying equity security during the security’s term or at maturity.
Synthetic
Convertible Securities. A synthetic convertible security is a derivative
position composed of two or more distinct securities whose investment characteristics, taken together, resemble those of traditional convertible
securities, i.e., fixed income and the right to acquire the underlying equity security. For example, a Fund may purchase a non-convertible
debt security and a warrant or option, which enables a Fund to have a convertible-like position with respect to a security or index.
Synthetic
convertibles are typically offered by financial institutions in private placement transactions and are
typically sold back to the offering institution. Upon conversion, the holder generally receives from the offering institution an amount
in cash equal to the difference between the conversion price and the then-current value of the underlying security. Synthetic convertible
securities differ from true convertible securities in several respects. The value of a synthetic convertible is the sum of the values
of its fixed-income component and its convertibility component. Thus, the values of a synthetic convertible and a true convertible security
will respond differently to market fluctuations. Purchasing a synthetic convertible security may provide greater flexibility than purchasing
a traditional convertible security, including the ability to combine components representing distinct issuers, or to combine a fixed income
security with a call option on a stock index, when the Adviser determines that such a combination would better further a Fund’s
investment goals. In addition, the component parts of a synthetic convertible security may be purchased simultaneously or separately.
The
holder of a synthetic convertible faces the risk that the price of the stock or the level of the market index
underlying the convertibility component will decline. In addition, in purchasing a synthetic convertible security, a Fund may have counterparty
risk with respect to the financial institution or investment bank that offers the instrument.
Alternative
Entity Securities. Alternative
entity securities are
the securities of entities that are formed as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business trusts or other non-corporate
entities that are similar to common or preferred stock of corporations.
Special
Purpose Acquisition Companies. Special purpose acquisition companies
(“SPACs”) are investment entities, acquired through stocks, warrants and other securities, that pool funds to seek potential
acquisition
or merger opportunities. A SPAC is a publicly traded company that raises funds through an initial public
offering (“IPO”) for the purpose of acquiring or merging with another company to be identified subsequent to the SPAC’s
IPO. The securities of a SPAC are often issued in “units” that include one share of common stock and one right or warrant
(or partial right or warrant) conveying the right to purchase additional common shares or partial shares of the SPAC. In some cases, the
rights and warrants may be separated from the common stock at the election of the holder, after which they may become freely tradeable.
If a Fund purchases shares of a SPAC in an IPO it will generally bear a sales commission, which may be significant.
Unless
and until a business combination transaction is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (which
are constituted solely by the proceeds of the IPO), less a portion retained to cover expenses, in U.S. government securities, money market
funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of a Fund’s other investments. If an
acquisition or merger that meets the requirements for the SPAC is not completed within a pre-established period of time, the invested
funds are returned to the SPAC’s shareholders, less certain permitted expenses, and any rights or warrants issued by the SPAC will
expire worthless. Under any circumstances in which a Fund receives a refund of all or a portion of its original investment in a SPAC,
the returns on that investment may be negligible, and a Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments
would have produced higher returns. Further, a Fund may be delayed in receiving any redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to
which it is entitled.
Because
SPACs are in essence “blank check” companies without operating histories or ongoing business operations
(other than identifying and pursuing acquisition or merger opportunities), the potential for the long term capital appreciation of their
securities is dependent on the ability of the SPAC’s sponsor to identify and complete a profitable business combination. There
is no guarantee that the SPACs in which a Fund invests will complete a business combination or that any transaction completed by the SPACs
in which a Fund invests will be profitable. Even if a SPAC in which a Fund has invested identifies a desirable acquisition or merger target
and reaches agreement with that company as to the terms of the business combination, there can be no guarantee that the transaction will
ultimately be consummated because, among other conditions that must be satisfied, a requisite number of shareholders of the SPAC or of
the target company do not vote in favor of the transaction. The values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate
significantly over time. Some SPACs may pursue acquisitions or mergers only within certain industries or regions, which may ultimately
lead to an increase in the volatility of their prices following completion of a business combination. In addition, some of these securities
may be considered illiquid and/or subject to restrictions on resale, leaving a Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or able to sell
its interest only at a price below what that Fund believes is the SPAC interest’s intrinsic value. Additionally, an investment
in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising their warrants to purchase
shares of the SPAC.
Due
to the risk of the loss of sponsors’ and other initial investors’ capital if an acquisition or merger is not consummated,
sponsors of SPACs may be incentivized to consummate business combinations at less attractive valuations at the expense of SPAC shareholders.
In addition, as the number of SPACs grows, there is greater competition among SPACs and traditional purchasers of companies, which further
increases the likelihood that SPAC sponsors may be incentivized to consummate acquisitions or mergers at less attractive valuations, as
well as the risk that SPACs cannot successfully complete business combinations.
Equity-Linked
Notes (ELNs). ELNs are hybrid derivative-type instruments, in a
single note form, that are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more reference securities (such as a single stock,
exchange-traded fund, exchange-traded note, or an index or basket of securities (underlying securities)) and a related equity derivative,
such as a put or call option. Generally, when purchasing an ELN, a Fund pays the counterparty the current value of the underlying securities
plus a commission. Upon the maturity of the note, the Fund generally receives the par value of the note plus a return based on the appreciation
of the underlying securities. A Fund may or may not hold an ELN until its maturity. If the underlying securities have depreciated in value
or if their price fluctuates outside of a preset range, depending on the type of ELN, the Fund may receive only the principal amount of
the note, or may lose the entire principal invested in the ELN. ELNs are available with an assortment of features, including periodic
coupon payments; limitations on
participation
in the appreciation of the underlying securities; and different protection levels on the Fund’s principal
investment. A Fund will only invest in ELNs for which the underlying security is a permissible investment for the Fund in accordance with
its investment policies and restrictions. ELNs are generally in two types: (1) those that provide for protection of a Fund’s principal
in exchange for limited participation in the appreciation of the underlying securities, and (2) those that do not provide for such protection
and subject a Fund to the risk of loss of its principal investment.
Investments
in ELNs possess the risks associated with the underlying securities, such as management risk,
market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risks. In addition, as a note, ELNs are also subject to certain debt securities
risks, such as interest rate and credit risk. An investment in an ELN also bears the risk that the ELN issuer will default or become bankrupt.
In such an event, the Fund may have difficulty being repaid, or fail to be repaid, the principal amount of, or income from, its investment.
ELNs may be structured to be subordinated or unsubordinated to other classes of debt holders' right of payment. A downgrade or impairment
to the credit rating of the issuer may also negatively impact the price of the ELN. The Fund may also experience liquidity issues when
investing in ELNs, as ELN transactions generally take place in the over-the-counter institutional investment market as well as in privately
negotiated transactions with ELN issuers. The secondary market for ELNs may be limited, and the lack of liquidity may make ELNs difficult
to sell at a desirable time and price and value. The price of an ELN may not correlate with the price of the underlying securities or
a fixed-income investment. As the holder of an ELN, the Fund generally has no rights to the underlying securities, including no voting
rights or rights to receive dividends. The Adviser’s ability to accurately forecast movements in the underlying securities will
determine the success of the Fund’s ELNs investments. Should the prices of the underlying securities move in an unexpected manner,
the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of its ELN investments, and it may realize losses, which could be significant and could
include the Fund’s entire principal investment.
Foreign
Investments
Foreign
Securities. Foreign securities are equity or debt securities issued
by issuers outside the United States, and include securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts
(EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) or other securities representing underlying securities of foreign issuers (foreign securities).
ADRs are receipts, issued by U.S. banks, for the shares of foreign corporations, held by the bank issuing the receipt. ADRs are typically
issued in registered form, denominated in U.S. dollars and designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. GDRs are bank certificates
issued in more than one country for shares in a foreign company. The shares are held by a foreign branch of an international bank. GDRs
trade as domestic shares but are offered for sale globally through the various bank branches. GDRs are typically used by private markets
to raise capital and are denominated in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. EDRs are similar to ADRs and GDRs, except they are
typically issued by European banks or trust companies, denominated in foreign currencies and designed for use outside the U.S. securities
markets. ADRs, EDRs and GDRs entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains on the underlying foreign securities, less any fees
paid to the bank. Purchasing ADRs, EDRs or GDRs gives a Fund the ability to purchase the functional equivalent of foreign securities without
going to the foreign securities markets to do so. ADRs, EDRs or GDRs that are “sponsored” are those where the foreign corporation
whose shares are represented by the ADR, EDR or GDR is actively involved in the issuance of the ADR, EDR or GDR and generally provides
material information about the corporation to the U.S. market. An “unsponsored” ADR, EDR or GDR program is one where the
foreign corporation whose shares are held by the bank is not obligated to disclose material information in the United States, and, therefore,
the market value of the ADR, EDR or GDR may not reflect important facts known only to the foreign company.
Foreign
debt securities include corporate debt securities of foreign issuers, certain foreign bank obligations
(see “Bank Instruments”) and U.S. dollar or foreign currency denominated obligations of foreign governments or their subdivisions,
agencies and instrumentalities (see “Foreign Government Obligations”), international agencies and supranational entities.
The
Funds consider various factors when determining whether a company is in a particular country or in a particular
region/continent, including whether (1) it is organized under the laws of a country or in a country in
a particular
region/continent; (2) it has a principal office in a country or in a country in a particular region/continent;
(3) it derives 50% or more of its total revenues from businesses in a country or in a country in a particular region/continent; (4) its
securities are traded principally on a security exchange, or in an over-the-counter (OTC) market, in a particular country or in a country
in a particular region/continent; and/or (5) its “country of risk" as determined by a third party service provider such as Bloomberg.
The issuer's “country of risk” is determined based on a number of criteria, including its country of domicile, the primary
stock exchange on which it trades, the location from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting currency.
Investments
by a Fund in foreign securities, including ADRs, EDRs and GDRs, whether denominated in U.S.
dollars or foreign currencies, may entail all of the risks set forth below in addition to those accompanying an investment in issuers
in the United States.
Currency
Risk. The value in U.S. dollars of a Fund’s non-dollar-denominated
foreign investments will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign security decreases when
the value of the U.S. dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and increases when the value of the
U.S. dollar falls against such currency.
Political
and Economic Risk. The economies of many countries may not be as
developed as that of the United States’ economy and may be subject to significantly different forces. Political, economic or social
instability and development, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and limitations on the removal of funds or other assets could also
adversely affect the value of portfolio investments. Certain foreign companies may be subject to sanctions, embargoes, or other governmental
actions that may impair or otherwise limit the ability to invest in, receive, hold or sell the securities of such companies. These factors
may affect the value of investments in those companies. In addition, certain companies may operate in, or have dealings with, countries
that the U.S. government has identified as state sponsors of terrorism. As a result, such companies may be subject to specific constraints
or regulations under U.S. law and, additionally, may be subject to negative investor perception, either of which could adversely affect
such companies' performance.
Regulatory
Risk. Foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and
are generally not subject to the regulatory controls and disclosure requirements imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there
is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Foreign companies
may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, corporate governance practices and requirements
comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Therefore, financial information about foreign companies may be incomplete, or may
not be comparable to the information available on U.S. companies. Income from foreign securities owned by the Funds may be reduced by
a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce dividend income payable to Fund shareholders.
There
is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, dealers, and
listed companies in foreign countries than in the U.S., thus increasing the risk of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss
of certificates for portfolio securities. Foreign markets may also have different clearance and settlement procedures. If a Fund experiences
settlement problems, it may result in temporary periods when a portion of that Fund’s assets are uninvested and could cause it
to miss attractive investment opportunities or create a potential liability to that Fund arising out of its inability to fulfill a contract
to sell such securities.
Market
Risk. Investing in foreign markets generally involves certain risks
not typically associated with investing in the United States. The securities markets in many foreign countries will have substantially
lower trading volume than the U.S. markets. As a result, the securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and experience more
price volatility than comparable domestic securities. Obtaining and/or enforcing judgments in foreign countries may be more difficult,
and there is generally less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and issuers, each of which may make
it more difficult to enforce contractual obligations. Increased custodian costs as well as administrative costs (such as the need to use
foreign custodians) may also be associated with the maintenance of assets in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, transaction costs in
foreign securities markets are likely to be higher, since brokerage commission rates in foreign countries are likely to be higher than
in the United States.
Risks
of Developing/Emerging Market Countries.
Each Fund may invest in securities of companies located in developing and emerging markets countries subject to limits included in
each Fund's prospectus.
Unless
a Fund’s prospectus includes a different definition, the Fund considers developing and emerging market
countries to be those countries that are (i) generally recognized to be an emerging market country by the international financial community,
including the World Bank, (ii) determined by the Adviser to be an emerging market country or (iii) its “country of risk”
is an emerging market country as determined by a third party service provider such as Bloomberg. As of the date of this SAI, the Adviser
considers “emerging market countries”
to generally include every country in the world except those countries included in the MSCI World Index. The Adviser has broad discretion
to identify countries that it considers to be emerging market countries and may consider various factors in determining whether to classify
a country as an emerging market country, including a country’s relative interest rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, monetary
and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances, legal and political developments and any other specific factors the Adviser believes
to be relevant. Because emerging market equity and emerging market debt are distinct asset classes, a country may be deemed an emerging
market country with respect to its equity only, its debt only, both its equity and debt, or neither.
Investments
in developing and emerging market countries present risks in addition
to, or greater than, those presented by investments in foreign issuers generally, and may include the following risks:
i.
Restriction, to varying degrees, on foreign investment in stocks;
ii.
Repatriation of investment income, capital, and the proceeds of sales in foreign countries may require foreign governmental registration
and/or approval;
iii.
Greater risk of fluctuation in the value of foreign investments due to changes in currency exchange rates, currency control regulations
or currency devaluation. In addition, there may be higher rates of inflation and more rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates
and greater sensitivity to interest rate changes;
iv.
Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates may have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain developing
and emerging markets countries;
v.
Many of the developing and emerging market countries’ securities markets are relatively small or less diverse, have low trading
volumes, suffer periods of relative illiquidity, and are characterized by significant price volatility;
vi.
There is a risk in developing and emerging market countries that a future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced
mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of government monopolies;
vii.
Investments in such securities markets may be subject to unexpected market closures;
viii.
The taxation systems at the federal, regional and local levels in developing or emerging market countries may be less transparent and
inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change. Developing or emerging market countries may also have a higher degree of corruption
and fraud than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources;
ix.
Less developed legal systems allowing for enforcement of private property rights and/or redress for injuries to private property, such
as bankruptcy. The ability to bring and enforce actions in developing or emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to
pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may be difficult or impossible to pursue; and
x.
Less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed
countries and, as a result, the nature and quality of such information may vary. Information about such companies may be less available
and reliable and, therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in developing or emerging markets may be limited which can
impede the Fund's ability to evaluate such companies. In addition, certain developing
or emerging
market countries have material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation
and enforcement capabilities which hinder the ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in
or operating in certain developing or emerging markets; therefore, there is no guarantee that the quality of financial reporting or the
audits conducted by audit firms of developing or emerging market issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Investing
in Greater China Risk. Investments in companies located or operating
in Greater China involve risks not associated with investments in Western nations, such as nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation
of property; difficulty in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts,
either internal or with other countries; inflation, currency fluctuations and fluctuations in inflation and interest rates that may have
negative effects on the economy and securities markets of Greater China; and Greater China’s dependency on the economies of other
Asian countries, many of which are developing countries. Events in any one country within Greater China may impact the other countries
in the region or Greater China as a whole. For example, changes to their political and economic relationships with the mainland China
could adversely impact the Fund’s investments in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China, such as China A-shares, are
subject to trading restrictions, quota limitations, and clearing and settlement risks. Significant portions of the Chinese securities
markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities, and have shown
a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility and other events. The liquidity of Chinese securities may shrink
or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions,
whether or not accurate.
Export
growth continues to be a major driver of China’s rapid economic growth. As a result, a reduction in spending
on Chinese products and services, the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s
key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. The current political climate has intensified concerns about a
potential trade war between China and the United States, as each country has recently imposed tariffs on the other country’s products.
These actions may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price
reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry, which could
have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Events such as these and their consequences are difficult to predict and it is
unclear whether further tariffs may be imposed or other escalating actions may be taken in the future.
Additionally,
developing countries, such as those in Greater China, may subject the Fund’s investments to a
number of tax rules, and the application of many of those rules may be uncertain. Moreover, China has implemented a number of tax reforms
in recent years, and may amend or revise its existing tax laws and/or procedures in the future, possibly with retroactive effect. Changes
in applicable Chinese tax law could reduce the after-tax profits of the Fund, directly or indirectly, including by reducing the after-tax
profits of companies in China in which the Fund invests. Chinese taxes that may apply to the Fund’s investments include income
tax or withholding tax on dividends, interest or gains earned by the Fund, business tax and stamp duty. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules
could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. The inability of the PCAOB to inspect audit work papers and practices of PCAOB-registered
accounting firms in China with respect to their audit work of U.S. reporting companies may impose significant additional risks associated
with investments in China.
Risks
of Investing in Chinese Variable Interest Entities. Many Chinese
companies have created a special structure, which is based in China, known as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as a means
to circumvent limits on direct foreign ownership of equity in Chinese operating companies in certain sectors, such as internet, media,
education and telecommunications, imposed by the Chinese government. Typically in such an arrangement, a China-based operating company
establishes an offshore “holding” company in another jurisdiction that likely does not have the same disclosure, reporting,
and governance requirements as the United States. The holding company issues shares, i.e., is “listed”, on a foreign exchange
such as the New
York
Stock Exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The listed holding company enters into service and other
contracts with the China-based operating company, typically through the China-based VIE. The VIE must be owned by Chinese nationals (and/or
other Chinese companies), which often are the VIE’s founders, in order to obtain the licenses and/or assets required to operate
in the restricted or prohibited sector in China. The operations and financial position of the VIE are included in consolidated financial
statements of the listed holding company. Foreign investors, including mutual funds and ETFs (such as the Fund), hold stock in the listed
holding company rather than directly in the China-based operating company.
The
VIE structure allows foreign shareholders to exert a degree of control and obtain economic benefits arising
from the operating company but without formal legal ownership because the listed holding company’s control over the operating company
is predicated entirely on contracts with the VIE. The listed holding company is distinct from the underlying operating company, and an
investment in the listed holding company represents exposure to a company that maintains service contracts with the operating company,
not equity ownership.
Investments
in companies that use VIEs may pose additional risks because the investment is made through
the listed holding company’s service and other contractual arrangements with the underlying Chinese operating company. As a result,
such investment may limit the rights of an investor with respect to the underlying Chinese operating company. The contractual arrangements
between the VIE and the operating company may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership. The Chinese
government could determine at any time and without notice that the underlying contractual arrangements on which control of the VIE is
based violate Chinese law. While VIEs are a longstanding industry practice, well known to Chinese officials and regulators, VIEs are not
formally recognized under Chinese law. The owners of the VIE could decide to breach the contractual arrangements with the listed holding
company and it is uncertain whether the contractual arrangements, which may be subject to conflicts of interest between the legal owners
of the VIE and foreign investors, would be enforced by Chinese courts or arbitration bodies. Prohibitions of these structures by the Chinese
government, or the inability to enforce such contracts, from which the shell company derives its value, would likely cause the VIE-structured
holding(s) to suffer significant, detrimental, and possibly permanent loss, and in turn, adversely affect the Fund’s returns and
net asset value.
The
Chinese government previously placed restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore
in certain sectors, including through VIEs, and investors face uncertainty about future actions by the Chinese government that could significantly
affect the operating company’s financial performance and the enforceability of the contractual arrangements underlying the VIE
structure. It is uncertain whether Chinese officials or regulators will withdraw their implicit acceptance of the VIE structure, or whether
any new laws, rules or regulations relating to VIE structures will be adopted and what impact such laws may have on foreign investors.
There is a risk that China might prohibit the existence of VIEs or sever their ability to transmit economic and governance rights to foreign
individuals and entities; if so, the market value of any associated portfolio holdings would likely suffer substantial, detrimental, and
possibly permanent loss.
Chinese
companies, including those listed on U.S. exchanges, are generally not subject to the same degree
of regulatory requirements, accounting standards or auditor oversight as companies in more developed countries. As a result, information
about VIEs may be less reliable or complete. Foreign companies with securities listed on U.S. exchanges, including those that utilize
VIEs, may be delisted if they do not meet the requirements of the listing exchange, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”)
and the U.S. government, which could significantly decrease the liquidity and value of such securities. Actions by the U.S. government,
such as delisting of certain Chinese companies from U.S. securities exchanges or otherwise restricting their operations in the U.S., may
negatively impact the liquidity and value of such securities.
Risks
of Investments in China A-shares through the Stock Connect Program.
The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program (both programs collectively referred to
as the Connect Program) are securities trading and clearing programs through which the Funds can trade eligible listed China A-shares.
The Connect Program is subject to quota limitations and
an
investor cannot purchase and sell the same security on the same trading day, which may restrict a Fund’s ability
to invest in China A-shares through the Connect Program and to enter into or exit trades on a timely basis. The Shanghai and Shenzhen
markets may be open at a time when the Connect Program is not trading, with the result that prices of China A-shares may fluctuate at
times when the Fund is unable to add to or exit its position. Only certain China A-shares are eligible to be accessed through the Connect
Program. Such securities may lose their eligibility at any time, in which case they could be sold but could no longer be purchased through
the Connect Program. Because the Connect Program is still relatively in its early stages, the actual effect on the market for trading
China A-shares with the introduction of large numbers of foreign investors is currently unknown. The Connect Program is subject to regulations
promulgated by regulatory authorities for the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, and the Shenzhen Stock
Exchange, and further regulations or restrictions, such as limitations on redemptions or suspension of trading, may adversely impact the
Connect Program, if the authorities believe it necessary to assure orderly markets or for other reasons. There is no guarantee that all
three exchanges will continue to support the Connect Program in the future and no assurance that further regulations will not adversely
affect the availability of securities under Stock Connect or other operational arrangements.
Investments
in China A-shares may not be covered by the securities investor protection programs of the exchanges
and, without the protection of such programs, will be subject to the risk of default by the broker. In the event that the depository of
the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange defaulted, a Fund may not be able to recover fully its losses from the depository
or may be delayed in receiving proceeds as part of any recovery process. In addition, because all trades on the Connect Program in respect
of eligible China A-shares must be settled in Renminbi (RMB), the Chinese currency, the Funds investing through the Connect Program must
have timely access to a reliable supply of offshore RMB, which cannot be guaranteed. The existence of a liquid trading market for China
A-shares may depend on whether there is supply of, and demand for, such China A-shares. Market volatility and settlement difficulties
in the China A-shares markets may also result in significant fluctuations in the prices of the securities traded on such markets.
China
A-shares purchased through the Connect Program are held in nominee name and not the Fund’s name
as the beneficial owner. It is possible, therefore, that a Fund’s ability to exercise its rights as a shareholder and to pursue
claims against the issuer of China A-shares may be limited because the nominee structure has not been tested in Chinese courts, as Chinese
courts generally have limited experience in applying the concept of beneficial ownership and the law in that area continues to evolve.
In addition, a Fund may not be able to participate in corporate actions affecting China A-shares held through the Connect Program due
to time constraints or for other operational reasons.
Trades
on the Connect Program are subject to certain requirements prior to trading. If these requirements are
not completed prior to the market opening, a Fund cannot sell the shares on that trading day. In addition, these requirements may limit
the number of brokers that a Fund may use to execute trades. If an investor holds 5% or more of the total shares issued by a China A-share
issuer, whether or not such shares were acquired through the Stock Connect Program, the investor must return any profits obtained from
the purchase and sale of those shares if both transactions occur within a six-month period. If a Fund holds 5% or more of the total shares
of a China A-share issuer through its Connect Program investments, its profits may be subject to these limitations. All accounts managed
by the Adviser and/or its affiliates will be aggregated for purposes of this 5% limitation, which makes it more likely that a Fund's profits
may be subject to these limitations.
Risks
of Investments in the China Interbank Bond Market through the Bond Connect Program.
Certain Funds may invest in China onshore bonds traded on the China
Interbank Bond Market (“CIBM”) through the China – Hong Kong Bond Connect Program (“Bond Connect”).
In China, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Central Moneymarkets Unit holds Bond Connect securities on behalf of ultimate investors (such
as the Funds) in accounts maintained with a China-based custodian (either the China Central Depository & Clearing Co. or the Shanghai
Clearing House). This recordkeeping system subjects a Fund to various risks, including the risks of settlement delays and counterparty
default of the China custodian and Hong Kong custody agent. In addition, the Fund may have a limited ability to enforce rights as a bondholder
because
enforcing the ownership rights of a beneficial holder of Bond Connect securities is untested and courts
in China have limited experience in applying the concept of beneficial ownership.
Bond
Connect uses the trading infrastructure of both Hong Kong and China and is not available on trading
holidays in Hong Kong. As a result, prices of securities purchased through Bond Connect may fluctuate at times when the Fund is unable
to add to or exit its position. Securities offered through Bond Connect may lose their eligibility for trading through Bond Connect at
any time. If Bond Connect securities lose their eligibility for trading through Bond Connect, they may be sold but can no longer be purchased
through Bond Connect.
Because
Bond Connect trades are settled in RMB, the Funds investing through Bond Connect must have timely
access to a reliable supply of offshore RMB, which cannot be guaranteed.
Market
volatility and potential lack of liquidity due to low trading volume of certain bonds on the CIBM may result
in prices of such bonds fluctuating significantly, exposing a Fund to liquidity and volatility risks. The bid-ask spreads of the prices
of such securities may be large, and a Fund may therefore incur significant costs and may suffer losses when selling such investments.
Bonds traded on the CIBM may be difficult or impossible to sell, which may impact a Fund’s ability to acquire or dispose of such
securities at their expected prices.
Bond
Connect is relatively new and its effects on the Chinese interbank bond market are uncertain. Trading
through Bond Connect is performed through newly developed trading platforms and operational systems, and in the event of systems malfunctions
or extreme market conditions, trading via Bond Connect could be disrupted. There can be no assurance as to Bond Connect’s continued
existence or whether future developments regarding Bond Connect (including further interpretation and guidance provided by regulators
in Hong Kong and China) may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Finally, uncertainties in China tax
rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments via Bond Connect could result in unexpected tax liabilities for a Fund.
Floating
Rate Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities of Non-U.S. Borrowers.
Floating rate loans are made to and floating rate debt securities are issued by non-U.S. borrowers. Such loans and securities will be
U.S. dollar-denominated or otherwise provide for payment in U.S. dollars, and the borrower will meet the credit quality standards established
by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers for U.S. borrowers. The Funds similarly may invest in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities
made to U.S. borrowers with significant non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenues; provided that the loans are U.S. dollar-denominated or otherwise
provide for payment to the Funds in U.S. dollars. In all cases where the floating rate loans or floating rate debt securities are not
denominated in U.S. dollars, provisions will be made for payments to the lenders, including the Funds, in U.S. dollars pursuant to foreign
currency swaps.
Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund may invest in floating rate loans that are made to and floating rate debt securities
that are issued by non-U.S. borrowers, whether such loans provide for payment in U.S. dollars or another currency. Invesco Short Duration
High Yield Municipal Fund may invest in floating rate loans that are made to and floating rate debt securities that are issued by non-U.S.
borrowers, provided that the loans are U.S. dollar-denominated or otherwise provide for payment in U.S. dollars, and any such borrower
meets the credit quality standards established by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers for U. S. borrowers. A Fund similarly may invest in floating
rate loans and floating rate debt securities made to U.S. borrowers with significant non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenues; provided that
the loans are U.S. dollar-denominated or otherwise provide for payment to the Fund in U.S. dollars. In cases where the floating rate loans
or floating rate debt securities are not denominated in U.S. dollars, provisions will be made for payments to the lenders, including the
Fund, in U.S. dollars pursuant to foreign currency swaps or the currency risk of the transaction will be hedged using forward foreign
currency contracts.
Invesco
Senior Floating Rate Fund may invest in floating rate loans and debt securities made to and issued
by non-U.S. borrowers and the borrower will meet the credit quality standards established by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers for U.S. borrowers.
The Fund similarly may invest in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities made to and issued by U.S. borrowers with significant
non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenues.
Foreign
Government Obligations. Debt securities issued by foreign governments
are often, but not always, supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign governments, or their subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities,
that issue them. These securities involve the risks discussed above under “Foreign Securities”. Additionally, the issuer
of the debt or the governmental authorities that control repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to pay interest or repay principal
when due. Political or economic changes or the balance of trade may affect a country’s willingness or ability to service its debt
obligations. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt obligations, especially debt
obligations issued by the governments of developing countries. Foreign government obligations of developing countries, and some structures
of emerging market debt securities, both of which are generally below investment grade, are sometimes referred to as “Brady Bonds.”
The failure of a sovereign debtor to implement economic reforms, achieve specified levels of economic performance, or repay principal
or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third-party commitments to lend funds to the sovereign debtor, which may impair
the debtor’s ability or willingness to service its debts.
Foreign
Exchange Transactions. Certain Funds may invest in foreign currency-denominated
securities and have the authority to purchase and sell put and call options on foreign currencies (foreign currency options), foreign
currency futures contracts and related options, and currency-related swaps, and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on
a spot (i.e., for prompt delivery and settlement) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through
forward foreign currency contracts (see “forward foreign currency contracts”). The use of these instruments may result in
a loss to a Fund if the counterparty to the transaction (particularly with respect to OTC derivatives, as discussed further below) does
not perform as promised, including because of such counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
The
Funds will incur costs in converting assets from one currency to another. Foreign exchange dealers may
charge a fee for conversion. In addition, dealers may realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they buy and
sell various currencies in the spot and forward markets.
A
Fund will generally engage in these foreign exchange transactions in order to complete a purchase or sale
of foreign currency denominated securities. The Funds may also use foreign currency options, forward foreign currency contracts, foreign
currency futures contracts and currency-related swap contracts to increase or reduce exposure to a foreign currency, to shift exposure
from one foreign currency to another in a cross currency hedge or to enhance returns. These transactions are intended to minimize
the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies; however, at the same time, they tend to limit any potential gain
which might result should the value of such currencies increase. Certain Funds may also engage in foreign exchange transactions, such
as forward contracts, for non-hedging purposes to enhance returns.
A
Fund may purchase and sell foreign currency futures contracts and purchase and write foreign currency options
to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. A Fund may also purchase and write foreign currency options in connection
with foreign currency futures contracts or forward foreign currency contracts. Foreign currency futures contracts are traded on exchanges
and have standard contract sizes and delivery dates. Most foreign currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars.
The uses and risks of foreign currency futures contracts are similar to those of futures contracts relating to securities or indices (see
“Futures Contracts”). Foreign currency futures contracts’ values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates
but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of the Fund’s investments.
Whether
or not any hedging strategy will be successful is highly uncertain, and use of hedging strategies may
leave a Fund in a less advantageous position than if a hedge had not been established. Moreover, it is impossible to forecast with precision
the market value of portfolio securities at the expiration of a forward foreign currency contract. Accordingly, a Fund may be required
to buy or sell additional currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such transaction) if Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’
predictions regarding the movement of foreign currency or securities markets prove inaccurate.
Certain
Funds may hold a portion of their assets in bank deposits denominated in foreign currencies, so as
to facilitate investment in foreign securities as well as protect against currency fluctuations and the need to convert such assets into
U.S. dollars (thereby also reducing transaction costs). To the extent these monies are converted back into U.S. dollars, the value of
the assets so maintained will be affected favorably or
unfavorably
by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Foreign exchange
transactions may involve some of the risks of investments in foreign securities. For a discussion of tax considerations relating to foreign
currency transactions, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters — Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions
— Foreign currency transactions.”
Under
definitions adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), non-deliverable foreign exchange forwards and OTC foreign exchange options are considered “swaps.”
These instruments are therefore included in the definition of “commodity interests” for purposes of determining whether
fund service providers qualify for certain exemptions and exclusions from regulation by the CFTC. Although non-deliverable forward foreign
currency contracts have historically been traded in the OTC market, as swaps they may in the future be regulated to be centrally cleared
and traded on public execution facilities. For more information, see “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts” and “Swaps.”
Passive
Foreign Investment Companies. Under U.S. tax laws, passive foreign
investment companies (PFICs) are those foreign corporations which generate primarily “passive” income. Passive income is
defined as any income that is considered foreign personal holding company income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code).
For federal tax purposes, a foreign corporation is deemed to be a PFIC if 75% or more of its gross income during a taxable year is passive
income or if 50% or more of its assets during a taxable year are assets that produce, or are held to produce, passive income.
Foreign
mutual funds are generally deemed to be PFICs, since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is passive
income. Foreign mutual funds investments may be used to gain exposure to the securities of companies in countries that limit or prohibit
direct foreign investment; however, investments in foreign mutual funds by a Fund are subject to limits under the Investment Company Act.
Other
types of foreign corporations may also be considered PFICs if their percentage of passive income or
passive assets exceeds the limits described above. A determination as to whether a foreign corporation is considered a PFIC is based on
an interpretation of complex provisions of the tax law. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a conclusion regarding a corporation's
status as a PFIC will not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and conclusions as a corporation's PFIC status may vary
depending on who is doing the analysis. Unless a Fund makes an election with respect to its investment in a PFIC, which election may not
always be possible, income from the disposition of a PFIC investment and from certain PFIC distributions may be subject to adverse tax
treatment. The application of the PFIC rules may affect, among other things, the character of gains, the amount of gain or loss and the
timing of the recognition of income with respect to PFIC shares, and may subject a Fund to tax on certain income from PFIC shares. Federal
tax laws impose severe tax penalties for failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Although every effort is made to ensure
compliance with federal tax reporting requirements for these investments, foreign corporations that are PFICs for federal tax purposes
may not always be recognized as such or may not provide a Fund with all information required to report, or make an election with respect
to, such investment.
A
foreign issuer will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder if such issuer is a controlled foreign
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (CFC) and the shareholder holds (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more
of the voting interests in or total value of such issuer. In such a case, the shareholder generally would be required to include in gross
income each year, as ordinary income, its share of certain amounts of a CFC’s income, whether or not the CFC distributes such shareholder’s
share of such amounts to it. Under proposed regulations, such income will be considered “qualifying income” for purposes
of a shareholder’s qualification as a regulated investment company only to the extent such income is timely distributed to that
shareholder.
Additional
risks of investing in other investment companies are described under “Other Investment Companies.”
Performance
Indexed Paper. Performance indexed paper is U.S. dollar-denominated
commercial paper the yield of which is linked to certain foreign exchange rate movements. The yield to the investor on performance indexed
paper is between the U.S. dollar and a designated currency as of or about that time
(generally,
the index maturity two days prior to maturity). The yield to the investor will be within a range stipulated
at the time of purchase of the obligation, generally with a guaranteed minimum rate of return that is below, and a potential maximum rate
of return that is above, market yields on U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper, with both the minimum and maximum rates of return
on the investment corresponding to the minimum and maximum values of the spot exchange rate two business days prior to maturity.
Foreign
Bank Obligations. Foreign bank obligations include certificates
of deposit, banker’s acceptances and fixed time deposits and other obligations (a) denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by a
foreign branch of a domestic bank (Eurodollar Obligations), (b) denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by a domestic branch of a foreign
bank (Yankee Dollar Obligations), or (c) issued by foreign branches of foreign banks. Foreign banks are not generally subject to examination
by any U.S. government agency or instrumentality.
Risks
Related to Russian Invasion of Ukraine. In late February 2022,
Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia, Ukraine, Europe,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the West. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies
to Russia’s actions, and the potential for wider conflict may increase financial market volatility and could have severe adverse
effects on regional and global economic markets, including the markets for certain securities and commodities such as oil and natural
gas.
Following
Russia’s actions, various countries, including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and
France, among others, as well as the European Union, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. The sanctions freeze certain
Russian assets and prohibit trading by individuals and entities in certain Russian securities, engaging in certain private transactions,
and doing business with certain Russian corporate entities, large financial institutions, officials and oligarchs. The sanctions include
a commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunications, commonly called “SWIFT,” the electronic network that connects banks globally, and imposed restrictive
measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. A number of large corporations have since withdrawn
from Russia or suspended or curtailed their Russia-based operations.
The
imposition of these current sanctions (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) and other actions undertaken by countries and businesses may adversely impact various sectors of the Russian economy,
including, but not limited to, the financials, energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defense and defense-related materials sectors.
Such actions also may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble, and could impair
the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, receive, or deliver those securities. Moreover, the measures could adversely affect global financial
and energy markets and thereby negatively affect the value of a Fund’s investments beyond any direct exposure to Russian issuers
or those of adjoining geographic regions.
In
response to sanctions, the Russian Central Bank raised its interest rates and banned sales of local securities
by foreigners. Russia also prevented the export of certain goods and payments to foreign shareholders of Russian securities. Russia may
take additional countermeasures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities and Fund
investments. Such actions could, for example, include restricting gas exports to other countries, the seizure of U.S. and European residents’
assets, or undertaking or provoking other military conflict elsewhere in Europe, any of which could exacerbate negative consequences on
global financial markets and the economy. The actions discussed above could have a negative effect on the performance of Funds that have
exposure to Russia. While diplomatic efforts have been ongoing, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is unpredictable and has the potential
to result in broader military actions. The duration of the ongoing conflict and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted
and may result in a negative impact on Fund performance and the value of Fund investments, particularly as it relates to Russian exposure.
Exchange-Traded
Funds
Exchange-Traded
Funds (ETFs). Most ETFs are registered under the 1940 Act as investment
companies, although others may not be registered as investment companies and are registered as commodity pools. Therefore, a Fund’s
purchase of shares of an ETF may be subject to the restrictions on investments in other investment companies discussed under “Other
Investment Companies.” ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. The Fund may invest in ETFs advised by unaffiliated
advisers as well as ETFs advised by Invesco Capital Management LLC (Invesco Capital). Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and Invesco Capital are
affiliates of each other as they are all indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
Generally,
ETFs hold portfolios of securities, commodities and/or currencies that are designed to replicate,
as closely as possible before expenses, the performance of a specified market index. The performance results of ETFs will not replicate
exactly the performance of the pertinent index due to transaction and other expenses, including fees to service providers, borne by ETFs.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the portfolio of securities, commodities and/or currencies purchased by an ETF will replicate
a particular index. Some ETFs are actively managed and instead of replicating a particular index they seek to outperform it, or outperform
a basket of securities or price of a commodity or currency.
Only
Authorized Participants (APs) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with ETFs. ETF
shares are sold to and redeemed by APs at net asset value only in large blocks called creation units and redemption units, respectively.
Such market makers have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders; consequently, there is no assurance that market makers
will establish or maintain an active trading market for ETF shares. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable
to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to an ETF and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem units
of an ETF, an ETF’s shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts
and/or delisting. ETF shares may be purchased and sold by all other investors in secondary market trading on national securities exchanges,
which allows investors to purchase and sell ETF shares at their market price throughout the day.
Investments
in ETFs generally present the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional mutual fund
that has the same investment objective, strategy and policies. Investments in ETFs further involve the same risks associated with a direct
investment in the types of securities, commodities and/or currencies included in the indices the ETFs are designed to replicate. In addition,
shares of an ETF may trade at a market price that is higher or lower than their net asset value and an active trading market in such shares
may not develop or continue. Moreover, trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem
such action to be appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers”
(which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Exchange-Traded
Notes
Exchange-Traded
Notes (ETNs). ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities
whose returns are linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. ETNs are traded on an
exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange) during normal trading hours; however, investors can also hold the ETN until maturity. At
maturity, the issuer pays to the investor a cash amount equal to the principal amount, subject to the day’s market benchmark or
strategy factor. ETNs do not make periodic coupon payments or provide principal protection. ETNs are subject to credit risk, including
the credit risk of the issuer, and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating, despite the
underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an ETN may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of
supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying assets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes
in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying asset.
When a Fund invests in ETNs it will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. A decision to sell ETN holdings
may be limited by the availability of a secondary market. In addition, although an ETN may be listed on an exchange, the issuer may not
be required to maintain the listing, and there can be no assurance that a secondary market will exist for an ETN.
ETNs
are also subject to tax risk. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will accept,
or a court will uphold, how ETNs are characterized or treated for tax purposes. Further, the IRS and Congress are considering proposals
that would change the timing and character of income and gains from ETNs.
An
ETN that is tied to a specific market benchmark or strategy may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly
the composition and relative weighting of securities, commodities or other components in the applicable market benchmark or strategy.
Some ETNs that use leverage can, at times, be relatively illiquid, and thus they may be difficult to purchase or sell at a fair price.
Leveraged ETNs are subject to the same risk as other instruments that use leverage in any form.
The
market value of ETNs may differ from their market benchmark or strategy. This difference in price may
be due to the fact that the supply and demand in the market for ETNs at any point in time is not always identical to the supply and demand
in the market for the securities, commodities or other components underlying the market benchmark or strategy that the ETN seeks to track.
As a result, there may be times when an ETN trades at a premium or discount to its market benchmark or strategy.
Debt
Investments
U.S.
Government Obligations. U.S. government obligations are obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, including bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury,
as well as "stripped" or "zero coupon" U.S. Treasury obligations.
U.S.
government obligations may be, (i) supported by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) supported by the discretionary
authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency’s obligations, or (iv) supported only by the credit of the instrumentality.
There is a risk that the U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities
if it is not legally obligated to do so. In that case, if the issuer were to default, a Fund holding securities of such issuer might not
be able to recover its investment from the U.S. government. For example, while the U.S. government has provided financial support to Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), no assurance can be given that the U.S. government
will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so obligated by law. There also is no guarantee that the government would support
Federal Home Loan Banks. Accordingly, securities of FNMA, FHLMC and Federal Home Loan Banks, and other agencies, may involve a risk of
non-payment of principal and interest. Any downgrade of the credit rating of the securities issued by the U.S. government may result in
a downgrade of securities issued by its agencies or instrumentalities, including government-sponsored entities. Additionally, from time
to time uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt limit, commonly called
the “debt ceiling,” could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government
securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded, increase volatility in the stock and bond markets, result
in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities, and/or increase the costs of various kinds of debt. If a U.S. government-sponsored
entity is negatively impacted by legislative or regulatory action, is unable to meet its obligations, or its creditworthiness declines,
the performance of a Fund that holds securities of that entity will be adversely impacted.
Inflation-Indexed
Bonds.
Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation.
Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that accrues inflation into the principal value of
the bond. Most other issuers pay out the Consumer Price Index (CPI) accruals as part of a semiannual coupon.
Inflation-indexed
securities issued by the U.S. Treasury have maturities of five, ten or thirty years, although
it is possible that securities with other maturities will be issued in the future. The U.S. Treasury securities pay interest on a semi-annual
basis, equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount. For example, if a fund purchased an inflation-indexed bond
with a par value of $1,000 and a 3% real rate of return coupon (payable 1.5% semi-annually), and inflation over the first six months was
1%, the mid-year par value of the bond would be $1,010 and the first semi-annual interest payment would be $15.15
($1,010
times 1.5%). If inflation during the second half of the year resulted in the whole years’ inflation equaling
3%, the end-of-year par value of the bond would be $1,030 and the second semiannual interest payment would be $15.45 ($1,030 times 1.5%).
If
the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be
adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will
be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury
inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed, and will
fluctuate. Certain Funds may also invest in other inflation related bonds which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee
of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
The
value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real
interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation
were to rise at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed
bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a
decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds.
While
these securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases
in inflation may lead to a decline in value. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in
currency exchange rates), investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s
inflation measure.
The
periodic adjustment of U.S. inflation-indexed bonds is tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers
(CPI-U), which is calculated monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-U is a measurement of changes in the cost of living,
made up of components such as housing, food, transportation and energy. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by a foreign government are generally
adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government. There can be no assurance that the CPI-U or any foreign
inflation index will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that the rate of inflation in a foreign country will be correlated to the rate of inflation in the United States.
Any
increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered taxable ordinary income,
even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Temporary
Investments. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in affiliated
money market funds or in other types of money market instruments in which those funds would invest or other short-term U.S. government
securities for cash management purposes. Each Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the
Fund's principal investment strategies for temporary defensive purposes in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic,
political or other conditions, or atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. As a result, a Fund may
not achieve its investment objective.
Changing
Interest Rates. In a low or negative interest rate environment,
debt securities may trade at, or be issued with, negative yields, which means the purchaser of the security may receive at maturity less
than the total amount invested. In addition, in a negative interest rate environment, if a bank charges negative interest, instead of
receiving interest on deposits, a depositor must pay the bank fees to keep money with the bank. To the extent a Fund holds a negatively-yielding
debt security or has a bank deposit with a negative interest rate, the Fund would generate a negative return on that investment. Cash
positions may also subject a Fund to increased counterparty risk to the Fund's bank. Debt market conditions are highly unpredictable and
some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. In the past, the U.S. government and certain foreign central banks have taken steps
to stabilize markets by, among other things, reducing interest rates. To the extent such actions are pursued, they present heightened
risks to debt securities, and such risks could be even further heightened if these actions are unexpectedly or suddenly reversed or are
ineffective in achieving
their
desired outcomes. In recent years, the U.S. government began implementing
increases to the federal funds interest rate and there may be further rate increases. As interest rates rise, there is risk that rates
across the financial system also may rise. To the extent rates increase substantially and/or rapidly, the Funds may be subject to significant
losses.
In
a low or negative interest rate environment, some investors may seek to reallocate assets to other income-producing assets. This may cause
the price of such higher yielding instruments to rise, could further reduce the value of instruments with a negative yield, and may limit
a Fund's ability to locate fixed income instruments containing the desired risk/return profile. Changing interest rates, including, rates
that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility, increased
redemptions, and potential illiquidity.
With
respect to a money market fund, which seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share, a low or negative
interest rate environment could impact the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. During a low or
negative interest rate environment, such money market fund may reduce the number of shares outstanding on a pro rata basis through reverse
stock splits, negative dividends or other mechanisms to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share, to the extent permissible by
applicable law and its organizational documents. Alternatively, the money market fund may discontinue using the amortized cost method
of valuation to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share and establish a fluctuating NAV per share rounded to four decimal places by using
available market quotations or equivalents.
In
December 2021, the SEC proposed amendments to Rule 2a-7 that, if adopted, would impact the manner
in which all types of money market funds operate. The amendments would, among other items, prohibit certain mechanisms for maintaining
a stable NAV per share in negative interest rate environments, such as by reducing the number of fund shares outstanding (including through
reverse distribution mechanisms).
Mortgage-Backed
and Asset-Backed Securities. Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund
currently intends to limit its investments in asset-backed securities to no more than 10% of its total assets. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities include commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS).
Mortgage-backed
securities are mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government,
its agencies and instrumentalities, or issued by non-government entities, such as commercial banks and other private lenders. Mortgage-related
securities represent ownership in pools of mortgage loans assembled for sale to investors by various government agencies such as the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and government-related organizations such as the FNMA and the FHLMC, as well as by non-government
issuers such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, mortgage bankers and private mortgage insurance companies. Although certain
mortgage-related securities are guaranteed by a third party or otherwise similarly secured, the market value of the security, which may
fluctuate, is not so secured. These securities differ from conventional bonds in that the principal is paid back to the investor as payments
are made on the underlying mortgages in the pool. Accordingly, a Fund receives monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest along
with any unscheduled principal prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Because these scheduled and unscheduled principal payments must
be reinvested at prevailing interest rates, mortgage-backed securities do not provide an effective means of locking in long-term interest
rates for the investor.
In
addition, there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities they issue. Mortgage-related securities issued by GNMA include
GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as Ginnie Maes) which are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest.
That guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. GNMA is a corporation wholly-owned by the U.S. government
within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mortgage-related
securities issued by FNMA include FNMA Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as Fannie Maes) and are guaranteed as
to payment of principal and interest by FNMA itself and backed by a line of credit with the U.S.
Treasury.
FNMA is a government-sponsored entity (GSE) wholly-owned by public stockholders. Mortgage-related
securities issued by FHLMC include FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates (also known as Freddie Macs) and are guaranteed as to payment
of principal and interest by FHLMC itself and backed by a line of credit with the U.S. Treasury. FHLMC is a GSE wholly-owned by public
stockholders.
Another
type of mortgage-related security issued by GSEs, such as FNMA and FHLMC, is credit risk transfer
securities. GSE credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured fixed or floating rate general obligations issued by GSEs,
which are typically issued at par and have stated final maturities. In addition, GSE credit risk transfer securities are structured so
that: (i) interest is paid directly by the issuing GSE; and (ii) principal is paid by the issuing GSE in accordance with the principal
payments and default performance of a pool of residential mortgage loans acquired by the GSE. The issuing GSE selects the pool of mortgage
loans based on that GSE’s eligibility criteria, and the performance of the credit risk transfer securities will be directly affected
by the selection of such underlying mortgage loans.
GSE
credit risk transfer securities are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. Thus,
although the payment of principal and interest on such securities is tied to the performance of the pool of underlying mortgage loans,
in no circumstances will the actual cash flow from the underlying mortgage loans be paid or otherwise made available to the holders of
the securities and the holders of the securities will have no interest in the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that
a GSE fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding,
holders of such credit risk transfer securities will have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. Such holders will receive
recovery on par with other unsecured note holders (agency debentures) in such a scenario.
GSE
credit risk transfer securities are issued in multiple tranches, which are allocated certain principal repayments
and credit losses corresponding to the seniority of the particular tranche. Each tranche will have credit exposure to the underlying mortgage
loans and the yield to maturity will be directly related to the amount and timing of certain defined credit events on the underlying mortgage
loans, any prepayments by borrowers and any removals of a mortgage loan from the pool. Because credit risk exposure is allocated in accordance
with the seniority of the particular tranche, principal losses will be first allocated to the most junior or subordinate tranches, thus
making the most subordinate tranches subject to increased sensitivity to dramatic housing downturns. In addition, many credit risk transfer
securities have collateral performance triggers (such as those based on credit enhancement, delinquencies or defaults) that could shut
off principal payments to subordinate tranches.
The
risks associated with an investment in GSE credit risk transfer securities will be different than the risks
associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk
associated with the underlying mortgage loans in credit risk transfer securities is transferred to investors, such as the Fund. As a result,
investors in GSE credit risk transfer securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage
loans default.
The
Funds may also invest in credit risk transfer securities issued by private entities, such as banks or other
financial institutions. Credit risk transfer securities issued by private entities are structured similarly to those issued by GSEs, and
are generally subject to the same types of risks, including credit, prepayment, extension, interest rate and market risks.
On
September 7, 2008, FNMA and FHLMC were placed under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA) to provide stability in the financial markets, mortgage availability and taxpayer protection by preserving FNMA
and FHLMC’s assets and property and putting FNMA and FHLMC in a sound and solvent position. Under the conservatorship, the management
of FNMA and FHLMC was replaced.
Since
2009, both FNMA and FHLMC have received significant capital support through U.S. Treasury preferred
stock purchases and Federal Reserve purchases of the entities’ mortgage-backed securities.
In
February 2011, the Obama Administration produced a report to Congress outlining proposals to wind down
FNMA and FHLMC and reduce the government’s role in the mortgage market. In December 2011, Congress enacted the Temporary Payroll
Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 which, among other provisions, requires that FNMA and FHLMC increase their single-family guaranty fees
by at least 10 basis points and remit this increase to Treasury with respect to all loans acquired by FNMA or FHLMC on or after April
1, 2012 and before January 1, 2022. Discussions among policymakers continue, however, as to whether FNMA and FHLMC should be nationalized,
privatized, restructured, or eliminated altogether. FNMA reported in the third quarter of 2016 that it expected "continued significant
uncertainty"
regarding its future and the housing finance system, including how long FNMA will continue to exist in its current form, the extent of
its role in the market, how long it will be in conservatorship, what form it will have and what ownership interest, if any, current common
and preferred stockholders will hold after the conservatorship is terminated, and whether FNMA will continue to exist following conservatorship.
FHLMC faces similar uncertainty about its future role. If FNMA and FHLMC are taken out of conservatorship, it is unclear how the capital
structure of FNMA and FHLMC would be constructed and what effects, if any, there may be on FNMA’s and FHLMC’s creditworthiness
and guarantees of certain mortgage-backed securities.
It is also unclear whether the U.S. Treasury would continue to
enforce its rights or perform its obligations related to senior preferred stock. Should FNMA’s and FHLMC’s conservatorship
end, there could be an adverse impact on the value of their securities, which could cause Fund losses. FNMA and FHLMC also are the subject
of several continuing legal actions and investigations over certain accounting, disclosure or corporate governance matters, which (along
with any resulting financial restatements) may continue to have an adverse effect on the guaranteeing entities. Importantly, the future
of the entities is in question as the U.S. government considers multiple options regarding the future of FNMA and FHLMC.
Under
the direction of the FHFA, FNMA and FHLMC have entered into a joint initiative to develop a common
securitization platform for the issuance of a uniform mortgage-backed security (the “Single Security Initiative”) that aligns
the characteristics of FNMA and FHLMC certificates. The Single Security Initiative seeks to support the overall liquidity of the TBA market.
FNMA and FHLMC began issuing uniform mortgage-backed security in June 2019, and while the initial effects of the issuance of uniform mortgage-backed
securities on the market for mortgage-related securities have been relatively minimal, the long-term effects are still uncertain.
Asset-backed
securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests
in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales contracts or installment loan contracts,
leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements and from sales of personal property.
Regular payments received on asset-backed securities include both interest and principal. Asset-backed securities typically have
no U.S. Government backing. Additionally, the ability of an issuer of asset-backed securities to enforce its security interest in
the underlying assets may be limited.
If
a Fund purchases a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security at a premium, the premium may be
lost if there is a decline in the market value of the security whether resulting from changes in interest rates or prepayments in the
underlying collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest
rates. Although the value of a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not
necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages and loans underlying the securities are prone to prepayment,
thereby shortening the average life of the security and shortening the period of time over which income at the higher rate is received.
When interest rates are rising, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the period of time over which income at
the lower rate is received. For these and other reasons, a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security’s average maturity may
be shortened or lengthened as a result of interest rate fluctuations and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security’s
return. In addition, while the trading market for short-term mortgages and asset-backed securities is ordinarily quite liquid, in times
of financial stress the trading market for these securities may become restricted.
CMBS
and RMBS generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related mortgage-backed
securities because there are no direct or indirect government or government agency
guarantees
of payment. The risk of loss due to default on CMBS and RMBS is historically higher because neither
the U.S. government nor an agency or instrumentality have guaranteed them. CMBS and RMBS whose underlying assets are neither U.S. government
securities nor U.S. government insured mortgages, to the extent that real properties securing such assets may be located in the same geographical
region, may also be subject to a greater risk of default than other comparable securities in the event of adverse economic, political
or business developments that may affect such region and, ultimately, the ability of property owners to make payments of principal and
interest on the underlying mortgages. Non-government mortgage-backed securities are generally subject to greater price volatility than
those issued, guaranteed or sponsored by government entities because of the greater risk of default in adverse market conditions. Where
a guarantee is provided by a private guarantor, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of such guarantor, especially when the guarantor
doubles as the originator.
Asset-Backed
Securities. Asset-backed securities are interests in pooled mortgages,
loans, receivables, or other assets. Payments of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated
by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information
concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables,
or the entities providing the credit enhancement.
Collateralized
Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). A CMO is a hybrid between a mortgage-backed
bond and a mortgage pass-through security. A CMO is a type of mortgage-backed security that creates separate classes with varying maturities
and interest rates, called tranches. Similar to a bond, interest and prepaid principal is paid, in most cases, semiannually. CMOs may
be collateralized by whole mortgage loans, but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed
by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA, and their income streams.
CMOs
are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different fixed or floating interest rate and stated
maturity. Actual maturity and average life will depend upon the prepayment experience of the collateral. CMOs provide for a modified form
of call protection through a de facto breakdown of the underlying pool of mortgages according to how quickly the loans are repaid. Monthly
payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the
shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes receive principal only after the first class has been retired.
An investor is partially guarded against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments.
In
a typical CMO transaction, a corporation (issuer) issues multiple series (i.e., Series A, B, C and Z) of CMO
bonds (Bonds). Proceeds of the Bond offering are used to purchase mortgages or mortgage pass-through certificates (Collateral). The Collateral
is pledged to a third party trustee as security for the Bonds. Principal and interest payments from the Collateral are used to pay principal
on the Bonds in the following order: Series A, B, C and Z. The Series A, B, and C Bonds all bear current interest. Interest on a Series
Z Bond is accrued and added to principal and a like amount is paid as principal on the Series A, B, or C Bond is currently being paid
off. Only after the Series A, B, and C Bonds are paid in full does the Series Z Bond begin to receive payment. With some CMOs, the issuer
serves as a conduit to allow loan originators (primarily builders or savings and loan associations) to borrow against their loan portfolios.
CMOs
that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by any
of its agencies or instrumentalities will be considered U.S. government securities by the Funds, while other CMOs, even if collateralized
by U.S. government securities, will have the same status as other privately issued securities for purposes of applying the Funds' diversification
tests.
FHLMC
CMOs are debt obligations of FHLMC issued in multiple classes having different maturity dates which
are secured by the pledge of a pool of conventional mortgage loans purchased by FHLMC. Payments of principal and interest on the FHLMC
CMOs are made semiannually. The amount of principal payable on each semiannual payment date is determined in accordance with FHLMC’s
mandatory sinking fund schedule, which, in turn, is equal to approximately 100% of FHA prepayment experience applied to the mortgage
collateral
pool. All sinking fund payments in the FHLMC CMOs are allocated to the retirement of the individual classes
of bonds in the order of their stated maturities. Payment of principal on the mortgage loans in the collateral pool in excess of the amount
of FHLMC’s minimum sinking fund obligation for any payment date are paid to the holders of the FHLMC CMOs as additional sinking
fund payments. Because of the “pass-through” nature of all principal payments received on the collateral pool in excess
of FHLMC’s minimum sinking fund requirement, the rate at which principal of the FHLMC CMOs is actually repaid is likely to be such
that each class of bonds will be retired in advance of its scheduled maturity date. If collection of principal (including prepayments)
on the mortgage loans during any semiannual payment period is not sufficient to meet the FHLMC CMO’s minimum sinking fund obligation
on the next sinking fund payment date, FHLMC agrees to make up the deficiency from its general funds.
Classes
of CMOs may also include interest only securities (IOs) and principal only securities (POs). IOs and
POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages the cash flow from which has been separated
into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs
and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to
move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases
the rate at which the investment is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slow,
the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced.
CMOs
are generally subject to the same risks as mortgage-backed securities. In addition, CMOs may be subject
to credit risk because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligations and a Fund may not receive all or part of its principal.
Obligations issued by U.S. government-related entities are guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest, but are not backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The performance of private label mortgage-backed securities, issued by private institutions,
is based on the financial health of those institutions. Although GNMA guarantees timely payment of GNMA certificates even if homeowners
delay or default, tracking the “pass-through” payments may, at times, be difficult.
Collateralized
Debt Obligations (CDOs). A CDO is a security backed by a pool of
bonds, loans and other debt obligations. CDOs are not limited to investing in one type of debt and accordingly, a CDO may own corporate
bonds, commercial loans, asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and emerging
market debt. The CDO’s securities are typically divided into several classes, or bond tranches, that have differing levels of investment
grade or credit tolerances. Most CDO issues are structured in a way that enables the senior bond classes and mezzanine classes to receive
investment-grade credit ratings. Credit risk is shifted to the most junior class of securities. If any defaults occur in the assets backing
a CDO, the senior bond classes are first in line to receive principal and interest payments, followed by the mezzanine classes and finally
by the lowest rated (or non-rated) class, which is known as the equity tranche. Similar in structure to a collateralized mortgage obligation
(described above) CDOs are unique in that they represent different types of debt and credit risk.
Collateralized
Loan Obligations (CLOs). CLOs are debt instruments backed solely
by a pool of other debt securities. The risks of an investment in a CLO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the
class of the CLO in which a Fund invests. Some CLOs have credit ratings, but are typically issued in various classes with various priorities.
Normally, CLOs are privately offered and sold (that is, they are not registered under the securities laws) and may be characterized by
a Fund as illiquid investments; however, an active dealer market may exist for CLOs that qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition
to the normal interest rate, default and other risks of fixed income securities, CLOs carry additional risks, including the possibility
that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may
decline in value or default a Fund may invest in CLOs that are subordinate to other classes, values may be volatile, and disputes with
the issuer may produce unexpected investment results.
Credit
Linked Notes (CLNs). A CLN is a security structured and issued
by an issuer, which may be a bank, broker or special purpose vehicle. If a CLN is issued by a special purpose vehicle, the special purpose
vehicle
will typically be collateralized by AAA-rated securities, but some CLNs are not collateralized. The performance
and payment of principal and interest is tied to that of a reference obligation which may be a particular security, basket of securities,
credit default swap, basket of credit default swaps, or index. The reference obligation may be denominated in foreign currencies. Risks
of CLNs include those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including, but not limited to, market risk, interest rate
risk, credit risk, default risk and foreign currency risk. In the case of a CLN created with credit default swaps, the structure will
be “funded” such that the par amount of the security will represent the maximum loss that could be incurred on the investment
and no leverage is introduced. An investor in a CLN also bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the CLN will default or
become bankrupt and not make timely payments of principal and interest on the structured security. Should the issuer default or declare
bankruptcy, the CLN holder may not receive any compensation. In return for these risks, the CLN holder receives a higher yield. As with
most derivative instruments, valuation of a CLN may be difficult due to the complexity of the security.
Bank
Instruments. Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing bank
deposits. Bank instruments include, but are not limited to, certificates of deposit, time deposits, and banker’s acceptances from
U.S. or foreign banks, as well as Eurodollar certificates of deposit (Eurodollar CDs) and Eurodollar time deposits of foreign branches
of domestic banks. Some certificates of deposit are negotiable interest-bearing instruments with a specific maturity issued by banks and
savings and loan institutions in exchange for the deposit of funds, and can typically be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity.
Other certificates of deposit, like time deposits, are non-negotiable receipts issued by a bank in exchange for the deposit of funds which
earns a specified rate of interest over a definite period of time; however, it cannot be traded in the secondary market. A banker’s
acceptance is a bill of exchange or time draft drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank.
An
investment in Eurodollar CDs or Eurodollar time deposits may involve some of the same risks that are described
for Foreign Securities.
Commercial
Instruments. Commercial instruments include commercial paper, master
notes and other short-term corporate instruments, that are denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. Invesco Senior Floating
Rate Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in variable amount master demand notes. The Fund has no
limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes will be purchased.
Commercial
instruments are a type of instrument issued by large banks and corporations to raise money to
meet their short-term debt obligations, and are only backed by the issuing bank or corporation’s promise to pay the face amount
on the maturity date specified on the note. Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial
paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Master notes are demand notes that permit the investment of fluctuating
amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet certain credit quality criteria. The interest
rate on a master note may fluctuate based on changes in specified interest rates or may be reset periodically according to a prescribed
formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary market in master demand notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee
may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes are generally illiquid and therefore
typically subject to the Funds' percentage limitations for investments in illiquid investments. Commercial instruments may not be registered
with the SEC.
Invesco
Senior Floating Rate Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is rated within the top three rating categories
by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or another nationally recognized statistical
rating organization (NRSRO). If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if the investment adviser determines that it is comparable
to rated commercial paper in the top three categories of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
Synthetic
Municipal Instruments. Synthetic municipal instruments are instruments,
the value of and return on which are derived from underlying securities. Synthetic municipal instruments in which the Funds may
invest include tender option bonds, and fixed or variable rate trust certificates. These types of instruments involve the deposit into
a trust or custodial account of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or
notes
(Underlying Bonds), and the sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust or custodial account to investors
such as the Funds. The trustee or custodian receives the long-term fixed rate interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate
holders fixed rates or short-term floating or variable interest rates which are reset periodically. A “tender option bond”
provides a certificate holder with the conditional right to sell its certificate to the sponsor or some designated third party at specified
intervals and receive the par value of the certificate plus accrued interest (a demand feature). A "fixed rate trust certificate" evidences
an interest in a trust entitling a certificate holder to fixed future interest and/or principal payments on the Underlying Bonds. A “variable
rate trust certificate” evidences an interest in a trust entitling the certificate holder to receive variable rate interest based
on prevailing short-term interest rates and also typically provides the certificate holder with the conditional demand feature (the right
to tender its certificate at par value plus accrued interest under certain conditions).
All
synthetic municipal instruments must meet the minimum quality standards for the Funds' investments and
must present minimal credit risks. In selecting synthetic municipal instruments for the Funds, Invesco considers the creditworthiness
of the issuer of the Underlying Bond, the sponsor and the party providing certificate holders with a conditional right to sell their certificates
at stated times and prices (a demand feature).
Typically,
a certificate holder cannot exercise the demand feature until the occurrence of certain conditions,
such as where the issuer of the Underlying Bond defaults on interest payments. Moreover, because synthetic municipal instruments involve
a trust or custodial account and a third party conditional demand feature, they involve complexities and potential risks that may not
be present where a municipal security is owned directly.
The
tax-exempt character of the interest paid to certificate holders is based on the assumption that the holders
have an ownership interest in the Underlying Bonds; however, the IRS has not issued a ruling addressing this issue. In the event the IRS
issues an adverse ruling or successfully litigates this issue, it is possible that the interest paid to the Funds on certain synthetic
municipal instruments would be deemed to be taxable. The Funds rely on opinions of special tax counsel on this ownership question and
opinions of bond counsel regarding the tax-exempt character of interest paid on the Underlying Bonds.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal Securities are typically debt obligations
of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities, is, at the
time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax. The issuers of municipal securities obtain funds for various public purposes, including
the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, highways, bridges, schools, hospitals, housing, mass transportation,
streets and water and sewer works. Other public purposes for which municipal securities may be issued include refunding outstanding obligations,
obtaining funds for general operating expenses and obtaining funds to lend to other public institutions and facilities.
Certain
types of municipal securities are issued to obtain funding for privately operated facilities. The credit
and quality of private activity debt securities are dependent on the private facility or user, who is responsible for the interest payment
and principal repayment.
The
two major classifications of Municipal Securities are bonds and notes. Municipal bonds are municipal debt
obligations in which the issuer is obligated to repay the original (or “principal”) payment amount on a certain maturity
date along with interest. A municipal bond’s maturity date (the date when the issuer of the bond repays the principal) may be years
in the future. Short-term bonds mature in one to three years, while long-term bonds usually do not mature for more than a decade. Notes
are short-term instruments which usually mature in less than two years. Most notes are general obligations of the issuing municipalities
or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. Municipal notes also include
tax, revenue notes and revenue and bond anticipation notes (discussed more fully below) of short maturity, generally less than three years,
which are issued to obtain temporary funds for various public purposes.
Municipal
debt securities may also be classified as general obligation or revenue obligations (or "special delegation
securities"). General obligation securities are secured by the issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest.
Revenue
debt obligations, such as revenue bonds and revenue notes, are usually payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific
revenue source but not from the general taxing power. The principal and interest payments for industrial development bonds or pollution
control bonds are often the sole responsibility of the industrial user and therefore may not be backed by the taxing power of the issuing
municipality. The interest paid on such bonds may be exempt from federal income tax, although current federal tax laws place substantial
limitations on the purposes and size of such issues. Such obligations are considered to be Municipal Securities provided that the interest
paid thereon, in the opinion of bond counsel, qualifies as exempt from federal income tax. However, interest on municipal securities may
give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) liability for noncorporate taxpayers and may have other collateral federal income
tax consequences. There is a risk that some or all of the interest received by the Fund from tax-exempt municipal securities might become
taxable as a result of tax law changes or determinations of the IRS.
Another
type of revenue obligations is pre-refunded bonds, which are typically issued to refinance debt. In other
words, pre-refunded bonds result from the advance refunding of bonds that are not currently redeemable. The proceeds from the issue of
the lower yield and/or longer maturing pre-refunding bond will usually be used to purchase U.S. government obligations, such as U.S. Treasury
securities, which are held in an escrow account and used to pay interest and principal payments until the scheduled call date of the original
bond issue occurs. Like other fixed income securities, pre-refunded bonds are subject to interest rate, market, credit, and reinvestment
risks. However, because pre-refunded bonds are generally collateralized with U.S. government obligations, such pre-refunded bonds have
essentially the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. The Fund will treat such pre-refunded securities as investment-grade securities,
notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities may have a lower rating (such as a below-investment-grade rating) from one
or more rating agencies.
Within
these principal classifications of municipal securities, there are a variety of types of municipal securities,
including but not limited to, fixed and variable rate securities, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, participation
certificates, inverse floating rate securities, and derivative municipal securities.
After
purchase by a Fund, an issue of Municipal Securities may cease to be rated by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. (Moody's) or S&P Global Ratings Services (S&P), or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO),
or the rating of such a security may be reduced below the minimum credit quality rating required for purchase by the Fund. Neither event
would require a Fund to dispose of the security. To the extent that the ratings applied by Moody’s, S&P or another NRSRO to
Municipal Securities may change as a result of changes in these rating systems, a Fund will attempt to use comparable credit quality ratings
as standards for its investments in Municipal Securities.
The
yields on Municipal Securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including general economic and monetary
conditions, money market factors, conditions of the Municipal Securities market, size of a particular offering, and maturity and rating
of the obligation. Because many Municipal Securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those related to education, health
care, transportation and various utilities, conditions in those sectors and the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer
can affect the overall municipal market. The market values of the Municipal Securities held by a Fund will be affected by changes in the
yields available on similar securities. If yields increase following the purchase of a Municipal Security, the market value of such Municipal
Security will generally decrease. Conversely, if yields decrease, the market value of a Municipal Security will generally increase. The
ratings of S&P and Moody’s represent their opinions of the quality of the municipal securities they undertake to rate. It should
be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, municipal securities with the
same
maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields while municipal securities of the same maturity and
coupon with different ratings may have the same yield.
Certain
of the municipal securities in which the Funds may invest represent relatively recent innovations in
the municipal securities markets and the markets for such securities may be less developed than the market for conventional fixed rate
municipal securities.
Under
normal market conditions, longer-term municipal securities generally provide a higher yield than shorter-term
municipal securities. The Funds have no limitation as to the maturity of municipal securities in which they may invest. The Adviser may
adjust the average maturity of a Fund’s portfolio from time to time depending on its assessment of the relative yields available
on securities of different maturities and its expectations of future changes in interest rates.
The
net asset value of a Fund will change with changes in the value of its portfolio securities. With fixed income
municipal securities, the net asset value of a Fund can be expected to change as general levels of interest rates fluctuate. When interest
rates decline, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed income securities generally can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest
rates rise, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed income securities generally can be expected to decline. The prices of longer term
municipal securities generally are more volatile with respect to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter term municipal securities.
Volatility may be greater during periods of general economic uncertainty.
Municipal
Securities, like other debt obligations, are subject to the credit risk of nonpayment. The ability of issuers
of municipal securities to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely impacted in general economic downturns and
as relative governmental cost burdens are allocated and reallocated among federal, state and local governmental units. Such nonpayment
would result in a reduction of income to a Fund, and could result in a reduction in the value of the municipal securities experiencing
nonpayment and a potential decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. In addition, a Fund may incur expenses to work out or restructure
a distressed or defaulted security.
The
Funds may invest in Municipal Securities with credit enhancements such as letters of credit and municipal
bond insurance. The Funds may invest in Municipal Securities that are insured by financial insurance companies. Since a limited number
of entities provide such insurance, a Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in securities insured by the same insurance company.
If a Fund invests in Municipal Securities backed by insurance companies and other financial institutions, changes in the financial condition
of these institutions could cause losses to the Fund and affect share price. Letters of credit are issued by a third party, usually a
bank, to enhance liquidity and ensure repayment of principal and any accrued interest if the underlying Municipal Bond should default.
These credit enhancements do not guarantee payments or repayments on the Municipal Securities and a downgrade in the credit enhancer could
affect the value of the Municipal Security.
If
the IRS determines that an issuer of a Municipal Security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on Municipal
Securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of Municipal Securities. For example, 2017 legislation
commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repeals the exclusion from gross income for interest on pre-refunded municipal securities
effective for such bonds issued after December 31, 2017.
Taxable
municipal securities are debt securities issued by or on behalf of states and their political subdivisions,
the District of Columbia, and possessions of the United States, the interest on which is not exempt from federal income tax. Taxable investments
include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary
defensive purposes.
At
times, in connection with the restructuring of a municipal bond issuer either outside of bankruptcy court in
a negotiated workout or in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, the Fund may determine or be required to accept equity or taxable debt
securities, or the underlying collateral (which may include real estate or loans) from the issuer in exchange for all or a portion of
the Fund’s holdings in the municipal security. Although the
Adviser
will attempt to sell those assets as soon as reasonably practicable in most cases, depending upon, among
other things, the Adviser’s valuation of the potential value of such assets in relation to the price that could be obtained by
the Fund at any given time upon sale thereof, the Fund may determine to hold such securities or assets in its portfolio for limited period
of time in order to liquidate the assets in a manner that maximizes their value to the Fund.
Municipal
Securities also include the following securities:
•
Bond
Anticipation Notes usually are general obligations of state and local governmental issuers which are sold to obtain interim financing
for projects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obligations or bonds.
•
Revenue
Anticipation Debt Securities, including bonds, notes, and certificates, are issued by governments or governmental bodies with the expectation
that future revenues from a designated source will be used to repay the securities. In general, they also constitute general obligations
of the issuer.
•
Tax
Anticipation Notes are issued by state and local governments to finance the current operations of such governments. Repayment is generally
to be derived from specific future tax revenues.
•
Tax-Exempt
Commercial Paper (Municipal Paper) is similar to taxable commercial paper, except that tax-exempt commercial paper is issued by states,
municipalities and their agencies.
•
Tax-Exempt
Mandatory Paydown Securities (TEMPS) are fixed rate term bonds carrying a short-term maturity, usually three to four years beyond the
expected redemption. TEMPS are structured as bullet repayments, with required optional redemptions as entrance fees are collected.
•
Zero
Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Securities do not immediately produce cash income. These securities are issued at an original issue discount, with
the full value, including accrued interest, paid at maturity. Interest income may be reportable annually, even though no annual payments
are made. Market prices of zero coupon bonds tend to be more volatile than bonds that pay interest regularly. Pay-in-kind securities are
securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities. Upon maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the aggregate
par value of the securities. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity
in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices
on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates
and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Special
tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
•
Capital
Appreciation Bonds are municipal securities in which the investment return on the initial principal payment is reinvested at a compounded
rate until the bond matures. The principal and interest are due on maturity. Thus, like zero coupon securities, investors must wait until
maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risks.
•
Payments
in lieu of taxes (also known as PILOTs) are voluntary payments by, for instance the U.S. government or nonprofits, to local governments
that help offset losses in or otherwise serve as a substitute for property taxes.
•
Converted
Auction Rate Securities (CARS) are a structure that combines the debt service deferral feature of Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABS) with
Auction Rate Securities. The CARS pay no debt service until a specific date, then they incrementally convert to conventional Auction Rate
Securities. At each conversion date the issuer has the ability to call and pay down any amount of the CARS.
Some
bonds may be “callable,” allowing the issuer to redeem them before their maturity date. To protect
bondholders, callable bonds may be issued with provisions that prevent them from being called for a period of time. Typically, that is
5 to 10 years from the issuance date. When interest rates decline, if the call
protection
on a bond has expired, it is more likely that the issuer may call the bond. If that occurs, the Fund might
have to reinvest the proceeds of the called bond in investments that pay a lower rate of return, which could reduce the Fund’s
yield.
Inverse
Floating Rate Obligations. Inverse floating rate obligations are
variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. Because the
interest rate paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined
fixed rate, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase
as such variable or floating rate decreases. The inverse floating rate obligations in which a Fund may invest include residual interest
bonds, tender option bonds (TOBs) or municipal bond trust certificates. Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust
(the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are sold by a Fund to the TOB Trust (the “underlying security”),
and that in turns sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to or held by third party
investors (Floaters), and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Funds (Residuals). The Floaters have first priority
on the cash flow from the underlying security held by the TOB Trust,
have a tender option feature that allows holders to tender the
Floaters back to the TOB Trust for their par value at specified intervals and bear interest at prevailing short-term interest rates. A
Fund (as holder of the Residuals) is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the TOB Trust. As such, the Residuals provide
the Fund with leveraged exposure to the underlying security. Like most other fixed-income securities, the value of Residuals will decrease
as interest rates increase. They are more volatile, however, than most other fixed-income securities because the value of a Residual typically
changes at a multiple of the change in the value of the underlying security. Thus, any increase in interest rates causes a correspondingly
greater drop in the value of a Residual while a drop in interest rates causes a correspondingly greater increase in the value of a Residual.
Inverse floating rate obligations tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend
to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate obligations
have varying degrees of liquidity.
The
primary risks associated with Residuals are varying degrees of
liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities
having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile
than if it had not invested in the Residuals. In certain instances, the Floaters created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to
third parties or, in the case of holders tendering such Floaters for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third
parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust may be collapsed, with the underlying security
(or a portion thereof)
sold by the TOB Trust to pay such holders, and the Fund may be
required to repay the principal amount of the tendered Floaters
not fully redeemed by the liquidation proceeds (which may require
the Fund to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation). The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market
volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause a Fund to lose more money than the amount it
has invested in the Residual, and
greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the
liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain Residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to
reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the collapse
of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event. The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount
of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the Floaters issued
by the TOB Trust.
Final
rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
“Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’
investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities
and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing certain services to TOB Trusts, which constitute covered funds under the Volcker
Rule. A new TOB structure is being utilized by a Fund wherein the Fund, as holder of the Residuals, will perform certain duties previously
performed by banking
entities
as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may alternatively
be performed by a non-bank third-party service provider. A Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB structure may increase its operational
and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the
remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered Floaters for its own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed
remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered Floaters.
The TOB Trust, not a Fund, would be the borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now
held by the TOB Trust. However, as previously described, a Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to
the extent it entered into a reimbursement agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further,
the SEC and various banking agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements
for asset-backed securities (the Risk Retention Rules), which apply to TOB Trusts. The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB
Trust, which
is deemed to be the Fund, to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying security held by the TOB Trust. As applicable, the
Funds have adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Funds'
ability to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There
can be no assurances that the new TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further,
there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage.
Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to a Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution
rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
Municipal
Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are issued by state
and local governments or authorities to finance the acquisition of land, equipment and facilities, such as state and municipal vehicles,
telecommunications and computer equipment, and other capital assets. Municipal lease obligations, another type of Municipal Security,
may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase contract or a conditional sales contract. Interest payments on qualifying municipal
lease obligations are generally exempt from federal income taxes.
Municipal
lease obligations are generally subject to greater risks than general obligation or revenue bonds.
State laws set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet in order to issue municipal obligations, and such obligations
may contain a covenant by the issuer to budget for, appropriate, and make payments due under the obligation. However, certain municipal
lease obligations may contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the issuer is not obligated to make payments on the obligation
in future years unless funds have been appropriated for this purpose each year. If not enough money is appropriated to make the lease
payments, the leased property may be repossessed as security for holders of the municipal lease obligation. In such an event, there is
no assurance that the property's private sector or re-leasing value will be enough to make all outstanding payments on the municipal lease
obligation or that the payments will continue to be tax-free. Additionally, it may be difficult to dispose of the underlying capital asset
in the event of non-appropriation or other default. Direct investments by the Fund in municipal lease obligations may be deemed illiquid
and therefore subject to the Funds' percentage limitations for illiquid investments and the risks of holding illiquid investments.
Municipal
Forward Contracts. A municipal forward contract is an agreement
by a Fund to purchase a Municipal Security on a when-issued basis with a longer-than-standard settlement period, in some cases with the
settlement date taking place up to five years from the date of purchase. Municipal forward contracts typically carry a substantial yield
premium to compensate the buyer for the risks associated with a long when-issued period, including shifts in market interest rates that
could materially impact the principal value of the bond, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer, loss of alternative investment
options during the when-issued period and failure of the issuer to complete various steps required to issue the bonds.
Tobacco
Related Bonds. Certain Funds may invest in two types of tobacco
related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made solely from a state’s
interest
in
the Master Settlement Agreement (“MSA”) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for
which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s appropriation pledge.
Tobacco
Settlement Revenue Bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are
secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November
1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a
number of smaller tobacco manufacturers signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and
other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco
manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
A
number of states have securitized the future flow of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct
governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual
payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund, are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of
future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette
consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers
could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the
MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating
manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the Fund’s net asset
value.
On
June 22, 2009, President Obama signed into law the “Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control
Act” which extends the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to encompass the regulation of tobacco products.
Among other things, the legislation authorizes the FDA to adopt product standards for tobacco products, restrict advertising of tobacco
products, and impose stricter warning labels. FDA regulation of tobacco products could result in greater decreases in tobacco consumption
than originally forecasted. On August 31, 2009, a number of tobacco manufacturers filed suit in federal court in Kentucky alleging that
certain of the provisions of the FDA Tobacco Act restricting the advertising and marketing of tobacco products are inconsistent with the
freedom of speech guarantees of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The suit does not challenge Congress’ decision
to give the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco products or the vast majority of the provisions of the law.
Because
tobacco settlement bonds are backed by payments from the tobacco manufacturers, and generally
not by the credit of the state or local government issuing the bonds, their creditworthiness depends on the ability of tobacco manufacturers
to meet their obligations. A market share loss by the MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a
downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in
bond payments, which could affect the Fund’s net asset value.
The
MSA and tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims. An adverse
outcome to any litigation matters relating to the MSA or affecting tobacco manufacturers could adversely affect the payment streams associated
with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments by tobacco manufacturers. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges
and has, to date, withstood those challenges.
Tobacco
Subject to Appropriation (STA) Bonds. In addition to the tobacco
settlement bonds discussed above, Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (“STA Tobacco Bonds”). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation
pledge.
These
STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state appropriation.
Although specific provisions may vary among states, “subject to appropriation bonds” (also referred to as “appropriation
debt”) are typically payable from two distinct sources: (i) a dedicated revenue
source
such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) the
issuer’s general funds. Appropriation debt differs from a state’s general obligation debt in that general obligation debt
is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic
appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the bonds as the payments come due. The appropriation is usually made annually. While
STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state
and states generally do not pledge the full faith, credit or taxing power of the state.
Litigation
Challenging the MSA. The participating manufacturers and states
in the MSA are subject to several pending lawsuits challenging the MSA and/or related state legislation or statutes adopted by the states
to implement the MSA (referred to herein as the “MSA-related legislation”). One or more of the lawsuits allege, among other
things, that the MSA and/or the states’ MSA-related legislation are void or unenforceable under the Commerce Clause and certain
other provisions of the U.S. Constitution, the federal antitrust laws, federal civil rights laws, state constitutions, consumer protection
laws and unfair competition laws.
To
date, challenges to the MSA or the states’ MSA-related legislation have not been ultimately successful, although
several such challenges have survived initial appellate review of motions to dismiss or have proceeded to a stage of litigation where
the ultimate outcome may be determined by, among other things, findings of fact based on extrinsic evidence as to the operation and impact
of the MSA and the states’ MSA-related legislation.
The
MSA and states’ MSA-related legislation may also continue to be challenged in the future. A determination
that the MSA or states’ MSA-related legislation is void or unenforceable would have a material adverse effect on the payments made
by the participating manufacturers under the MSA.
Litigation
Seeking Monetary Relief from Tobacco Industry Participants. The
tobacco industry has been the target of litigation for many years. Both individual and class action lawsuits have been brought by or on
behalf of smokers alleging that smoking has been injurious to their health, and by non-smokers alleging harm from environmental tobacco
smoke, also known as “secondhand smoke.” Plaintiffs seek various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive damages
aggregating billions of dollars, treble/multiple damages and other statutory damages and penalties, creation of medical monitoring and
smoking cessation funds, disgorgement of profits, legal fees, and injunctive and equitable relief.
The
MSA does not release participating manufacturers from liability in either individual or class action cases.
Healthcare cost recovery cases have also been brought by governmental and non-governmental healthcare providers seeking, among other things,
reimbursement for healthcare expenditures incurred in connection with the treatment of medical conditions allegedly caused by smoking.
The participating manufacturers are also exposed to liability in these cases, because the MSA only settled healthcare cost recovery claims
of the participating states. Litigation has also been brought against certain participating manufacturers and their affiliates in foreign
countries.
The
ultimate outcome of any pending or future lawsuit is uncertain. Verdicts of substantial magnitude that are
enforceable as to one or more participating manufacturers, if they occur, could encourage commencement of additional litigation, or could
negatively affect perceptions of potential triers of fact with respect to the tobacco industry, possibly to the detriment of pending litigation.
An unfavorable outcome or settlement or one or more adverse judgments could result in a decision by the affected participating manufacturers
to substantially increase cigarette prices, thereby reducing cigarette consumption beyond the forecasts under the MSA. In addition, the
financial condition of any or all of the participating manufacturer defendants could be materially and adversely affected by the ultimate
outcome of pending litigation, including bonding and litigation costs or a verdict or verdicts awarding substantial compensatory or punitive
damages. Depending upon the magnitude of any such negative financial impact (and irrespective of whether the participating manufacturer
is thereby rendered insolvent), an adverse outcome in one or more of the lawsuits could substantially impair the affected participating
manufacturer’s ability to make payments under the MSA.
Investments
in Municipal Preferred Shares Issued by a Closed-End Fund.
A Fund
may invest in municipal preferred shares issued by a type of investment
company known
as a closed-end fund. A
closed-end fund may issue municipal preferred shares to raise capital that can be used to purchase more securities for its portfolio.
While these municipal preferred shares are equity securities that have a monthly dividend rate payable from the closed-end fund's earnings,
they typically pay dividends at a variable rate. This variable dividend rate, among other features, causes preferred shares to have similar
characteristics and risks to debt securities, which risks include interest rate risk, credit risk, inflation risk, early redemption risk
and reinvestment risk. Certain municipal preferred shares may pay dividends that are tied to an index, such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap
Index, whose returns may be impacted as a result of changes in the tax rates and tax statuses of municipal and non-municipal securities,
the creditworthiness and supply and demand for municipal securities, and yield compression. Additionally, there is the risk that such
index could be modified or discontinued, which could impact the level of dividends paid by municipal preferred shares. Income earned from
investments in municipal preferred shares is expected to be exempt from federal income taxes (and, with respect to any such securities
issued by single-state municipal closed-end funds, exempt from the applicable state's income tax), and as a result, may be impacted by
changes in federal (or state, as applicable) income tax rates or changes in the tax-exempt treatment of that income. While the closed-end
funds in which the Funds invest intend to treat municipal preferred shares as equity for federal income tax purposes, there is the risk
that the Internal Revenue Service could assert a contrary position, which could result in income from these investments becoming taxable.
Municipal preferred shares typically are not freely transferrable and therefore, the market for resale of these shares may be relatively
illiquid compared to the market for other types of securities. The Fund may pay transaction fees in connection with acquiring or disposing
of the preferred shares. Although these municipal preferred shares will be subordinated to the rights of holders of indebtedness, if any,
of the closed-end fund, the municipal preferred shares rank ahead of common shares in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer
in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Investments in municipal preferred shares are subject to the risks associated with the issuing closed-end
fund and to limits set forth in the 1940 Act. See “Description of the Funds and Their Investments and Risks — Investment
Strategies and Risks — Other Investments — Other Investment Companies” for a discussion of these restrictions.
Land-Secured
or “Dirt” Bonds. Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund
may invest in municipal securities that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods,
such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or other revenues attributable
to the specific projects financed by the bonds, without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities.
These
projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as the failure of property development,
unavailability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values,
lessening demand for properties, and changes in interest rates. These real estate risks may be heightened if a project were subject to
foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund might be required to pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating
to such projects. These expenses could increase the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In
addition, the bonds financing these projects may have more taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported
bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established
to secure such financings generally are limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase
pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if a development failed to progress as anticipated
or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Investment
Grade Debt Obligations. Each Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or U.S. commercial banks, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers
or debt obligations of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies. Debt obligations
include,
among others, bonds, notes, debentures and variable rate demand notes. They may be U.S. dollar-denominated
debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or U.S. commercial banks, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers
or debt obligations of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies.
The
Adviser considers investment grade securities to include: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or
Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) short-term securities with comparable NRSRO ratings, or
(iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The descriptions of debt
securities ratings are found in Appendix A.
In
choosing corporate debt securities on behalf of a Fund, portfolio managers may consider:
i.
general
economic and financial conditions;
ii.
the
specific issuer’s (a) business and management, (b) cash flow, (c) earnings coverage of interest and dividends, (d) ability to operate
under adverse economic conditions, (e) fair market value of assets, and (f) in the case of foreign issuers, unique political, economic
or social conditions applicable to such issuer’s country; and,
iii.
other
considerations deemed appropriate.
Debt
securities are subject to a variety of risks, such as interest rate risk, income risk, prepayment risk, inflation
risk, credit risk, currency risk and default risk.
Non-Investment
Grade Debt Obligations (Junk Bonds). Bonds rated below or determined
to be below investment grade (as defined above in “Investment Grade Debt Obligations”) are commonly referred to as “junk
bonds.” Analysis of the creditworthiness of junk bond issuers is more complex than that of investment-grade issuers and the success
of a Fund’s adviser in managing these decisions is more dependent upon its own credit analysis than is the case with investment-grade
bonds.
The
capacity of junk bonds to pay interest and repay principal is considered speculative. While junk bonds may
provide an opportunity for greater income and gains, they are subject to greater risks than higher-rated debt securities. The prices of
and yields on junk bonds may fluctuate to a greater extent than those of higher-rated debt securities. Junk bonds are generally more sensitive
to individual issuer developments, economic conditions and regulatory changes than higher-rated bonds. Issuers of junk bonds are often
smaller, less-seasoned companies or companies that are highly leveraged with more traditional methods of financing unavailable to them.
Junk bonds are generally at a higher risk of default because such issues are often unsecured or otherwise subordinated to claims of the
issuer’s other creditors. If a junk bond issuer defaults, a Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. The secondary
markets in which junk bonds are traded may be thin and less liquid than the market for higher-rated debt securities and a Fund may have
difficulty selling certain junk bonds at the desired time and price. Less liquidity in secondary trading markets could adversely affect
the price at which a Fund could sell a particular junk bond, and could cause large fluctuations in the net asset value of that Fund’s
shares. The lack of a liquid secondary market may also make it more difficult for a Fund to obtain accurate market quotations in valuing
junk bond assets and elements of judgment may play a greater role in the valuation.
Floating
Rate Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities. Floating rate
loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, borrowers) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing
the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing;
or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Floating rate loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred
a significant percentage of debt compared to equity issued and thus are highly leveraged.
Floating
rate loans may include both term loans, which are generally fully funded at the time of a Fund’s investment,
and revolving loans, which may require a Fund to make additional investments in the loans as required under the terms of the loan agreement.
A revolving credit loan agreement may require a Fund to increase its investment in a loan at a time when a Fund might not otherwise have
done so, even if the borrower’s condition makes it unlikely that the loan will be repaid.
A
floating rate loan is generally offered as part of a lending syndicate to banks and other financial institutions
and is administered in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement by an agent bank who is responsible for collection of principal
and interest and fee payments from the borrower and apportioning those payments to all lenders who are parties to the agreement. Typically,
the agent is given broad discretion to enforce the loan agreement and is compensated by the borrower for its services.
Floating
rate loans may be acquired by direct investment as a lender at the inception of the loan or by assignment
of a portion of a floating rate loan previously made to a different lender or by purchase of a participation interest. If a Fund makes
a direct investment in a loan as one of the lenders, it generally acquires the loan at par. This means a Fund receives a return at the
full interest rate for the loan. If a Fund acquires its interest in loans in the secondary market or acquires a participation interest,
the loans may be purchased or sold above, at, or below par, which can result in a yield that is below, equal to, or above the stated interest
rate of the loan. At times, a Fund may be able to invest in floating rate loans only through assignments or participations.
A
participation interest represents a fractional interest in a floating rate loan held by the lender selling a Fund
the participation interest. In the case of participations, a Fund will not have any direct contractual relationship with the borrower,
a Fund’s rights to consent to modifications of the loan are limited and it is dependent upon the participating lender to enforce
each Fund’s rights upon a default.
A
Fund may be subject to the credit of both the agent and the lender from whom the Fund acquires a participation
interest. These credit risks may include delay in receiving payments of principal and interest paid by the borrower to the agent or, in
the case of a participation, offsets by the lender's regulator against payments received from the borrower. In the event of the borrower's
bankruptcy, the borrower's obligation to repay the floating rate loan may be subject to defenses that the borrower can assert as a result
of improper conduct by the agent.
Historically,
floating rate loans have not been registered with the SEC or any state securities commission or
listed on any securities exchange. As a result, the amount of public information available about a specific floating rate loan has been
historically less extensive than if the floating rate loan were registered or exchange traded.
Although
loan investments are generally subject to certain restrictive covenants in favor of the investor, certain
of the loans in which a Fund may invest may be issued or offered as “covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial
maintenance covenants. “Financial maintenance covenants” are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial
metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels of cash flow or limiting leverage. These covenants are included
to permit the lender to monitor the borrower’s performance and declare an event of default if breached, allowing the lender to
renegotiate the terms of the loan or take other actions intended to help mitigate losses. Accordingly, a Fund may experience relatively
greater difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant lite loans than its holdings of loans or securities with
financial maintenance covenants, which may result in losses to the Fund, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle. Although covenant
lite loans contain few or no financial maintenance covenants, information necessary to monitor a borrower’s financial performance
may be available without covenants to lenders and the public alike, and can be used to detect such early warning signs as deterioration
of a borrower’s financial condition or results. When such information is available, the Adviser will seek to take appropriate action
without the help of covenants in the loans.
Floating
rate debt securities are typically in the form of notes or bonds issued in public or private placements
in the securities markets. Floating rate debt securities will typically have substantially similar terms to floating rate loans, but will
not be in the form of participations or assignments.
The
floating rate loans and debt securities in which a Fund invests will, in most instances, be secured and senior
to other indebtedness of the borrower. Each floating rate loan and debt security will generally be secured by collateral such as accounts
receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate, intangible assets such as trademarks, copyrights and patents, and securities of subsidiaries
or affiliates. The value of the collateral generally will be determined by reference to financial statements of the borrower, by an independent
appraisal,
by obtaining the market value of such collateral, in the case of cash or securities if readily ascertainable,
or by other customary valuation techniques considered appropriate by Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers. The value of collateral may decline
after a Fund’s investment, and collateral may be difficult to sell in the event of default. Consequently, the Fund may not receive
all the payments to which it is entitled. A Fund’s assets may be invested in unsecured floating rate loans and debt securities
or subordinated floating rate loans and debt securities, which may or may not be secured. If the borrower defaults on an unsecured loan
or security, there is no specific collateral on which the lender can foreclose. If the borrower defaults on a subordinated loan or security,
the collateral may not be sufficient to cover both the senior and subordinated loans and securities.
Most
borrowers pay their debts from cash flow generated by their businesses. If a borrower’s cash flow is insufficient
to pay its debts, it may attempt to restructure its debts rather than sell collateral. Borrowers may try to restructure their debts by
filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws or negotiating a work-out. If a borrower becomes involved in a bankruptcy proceeding,
access to collateral may be limited by bankruptcy and other laws. If a court decides that access to collateral is limited or voidable,
a Fund may not recover the full amount of principal and interest that is due.
A
borrower must comply with certain restrictive covenants contained in the loan agreement or indenture (in
the case of floating rate debt securities). In addition to requiring the scheduled payment of principal and interest, these covenants
may include restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to the borrower’s shareholders, provisions requiring
compliance with specific financial ratios, and limits on total indebtedness. The agreement may also require the prepayment of the floating
rate loans or debt securities from excess cash flow. A breach of a covenant that is not waived by the agent (or lenders directly) is normally
an event of default, which provides the agent and lenders the right to call for repayment of the outstanding floating rate loan or debt
security.
Purchasers
of floating rate loans may receive and/or pay certain fees. These fees are in addition to interest
payments and may include commitment fees, facility fees, and prepayment penalty fees. When a Fund buys a floating rate loan, it may receive
a facility fee, and when it sells a floating rate loan, it may pay an assignment fee.
It
is expected that the majority of floating rate loans and debt securities will have stated maturities of three to
ten years. However, because floating rate loans and debt securities are frequently prepaid, it is expected that the average maturity will
be three to five years. The degree to which borrowers prepay floating rate loans and debt securities, whether as a contractual requirement
or at the borrower’s election, may be affected by general business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition and competitive
conditions among lenders. Prepayments cannot be predicted with accuracy. Prepayments may result in a Fund’s investing in floating
rate loans and debt securities with lower yields.
Investments
in loans, loan participations and assignments present the possibility that a Fund could be held
liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of lender liability. Each Fund anticipates that loans, loan participations and assignments
could be sold only to a limited number of institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a loan, it may be more difficult
to sell the interests in such a loan at a price that is acceptable or to even obtain pricing information. In addition, some loans, loan
participations and assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies. Loans held by the Funds might not be considered securities
for the purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such as the Funds may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud provisions of those
Acts.
Loans,
Loan Participations and Assignments. Loans and loan participations
are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental or other borrowers to another party. They may represent amounts owed to lenders
or lending syndicates, to suppliers of goods or services, or to other parties. A Fund will have the right to receive payments of principal,
interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the
payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing participations, a Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by
the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and a Fund
may
not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation. In addition,
the Fund's rights to consent to modifications of the loan are limited and it is dependent upon the participating lender to enforce the
Fund's rights upon a default. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of the borrower, the lender, and the agent who
is responsible for collection of principal and interest and fee payments from the borrower and apportioning those payments to all lenders
who are parties to the loan agreement. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, the Fund may be treated as
a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower. Credit risks relating to the
agent may include delay in receiving payments of principal and interest paid by the borrower to the agent. In the event of the borrower's
bankruptcy, the borrower's obligation to repay the loan may be subject to defenses that the borrower can assert as a result of improper
conduct by the agent.
When
a Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
However, because assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights
and obligations acquired by a Fund as the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning
lender. In addition, if the loan is foreclosed, a Fund could be part owner of any collateral and could bear the costs and liabilities
of owning and disposing of the collateral.
Investments
in loans, loan participations and assignments present the possibility that a Fund could be held
liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of lender liability. The Fund anticipates that loans, loan participations and assignments
could be sold only to a limited number of institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a loan, it may be more difficult
to sell the interests in such a loan at a price that is acceptable or to even obtain pricing information. In addition, some loans, loan
participations and assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies. Loans held by a Fund might not be considered securities for
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), or the Exchange Act and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such
as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud provisions of those Acts.
The
secondary market for certain floating rate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask
spreads and extended trade settlement periods (in some cases, longer than seven days).
Public
Bank Loans. Public bank loans are privately negotiated loans for
which information about the issuer has been made publicly available. Public loans are made by banks or other financial institutions, and
may be rated investment grade (as defined above in “Investment Grade Debt Obligations”) or below investment grade. However,
public bank loans are not registered under the 1933 Act and are not publicly traded. They usually are second lien loans normally lower
in priority of payment to senior loans, but have seniority in a company’s capital structure to other claims, such as subordinated
corporate bonds or publicly-issued equity so that in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation, the company is required to pay down these
second lien loans prior to such other lower-ranked claims on their assets. Bank loans normally pay floating rates that reset frequently,
and as a result, protect investors from increases in interest rates.
Bank
loans generally are negotiated between a borrower and several financial institutional lenders represented
by one or more lenders acting as agent of all the lenders. The agent is responsible for negotiating the loan agreement that establishes
the terms and conditions of the loan and the rights of the borrower and the lenders, monitoring any collateral, and collecting principal
and interest on the loan. By investing in a loan, a Fund becomes a member of a syndicate of lenders. Certain bank loans are illiquid,
meaning the Fund may not be able to sell them quickly at a fair price. Illiquid investments are also difficult to value. To the extent
a bank loan has been deemed illiquid, it will be subject to a Fund’s restrictions on illiquid investments. The secondary market
for bank loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.
Bank
loans are subject to the risk of default. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result
in a reduction of income to a Fund, a reduction in the value of the loan, and a potential decrease in the Fund’s net asset value.
The risk of default will increase in the event of an economic downturn or a substantial increase in interest rates. Bank loans are subject
to the risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments.
As discussed above,
however,
because bank loans reside higher in the capital structure than high yield bonds, default losses have been
historically lower in the bank loan market. Bank loans that are rated below investment grade share the same risks of other below investment
grade securities.
Structured
Notes and Indexed Securities. Structured notes are derivative debt
instruments, the interest rate or principal of which is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial
indicators (reference instruments). Indexed securities may include structured notes and other securities wherein the interest rate or
principal is determined by a reference instrument.
Most
structured notes and indexed securities are fixed income securities that have maturities of three years
or less. The interest rate or the principal amount payable at maturity of an indexed security may vary based on changes in one or more
specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared with a fixed interest rate. The reference instrument need not
be related to the terms of the indexed security. Structured notes and indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e.,
their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates), and may have return
characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument or to one or more options on the underlying reference
instrument.
Structured
notes and indexed securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt
securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instrument. Structured notes or indexed securities also may be more volatile,
less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities.
In addition to the credit risk of the structured note or indexed security’s issuer and the normal risks of price changes in response
to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the
value of the underlying reference instruments. Further, in the case of certain structured notes or indexed securities in which the interest
rate, or exchange rate in the case of currency, is linked to a reference instrument, the rate may be increased or decreased or the terms
may provide that, under certain circumstances, the principal amount payable on maturity may be reduced to zero resulting in a loss to
the Fund.
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Securities. The Funds may invest in senior
secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt instruments made to or issued by borrowers (which may include U.S. and
non-U.S. companies) that (i) have variable rates which adjust to a base rate, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), on set dates,
typically every 30 days but not to exceed one year; and/or (ii) have interest rates that float at a margin above a generally recognized
base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.
U.S.
Corporate Debt Obligations. Corporate debt obligations are debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by corporations that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Such investments may include, among others, commercial
paper, bonds, notes, debentures, variable rate demand notes, master notes, funding agreements and other short-term corporate instruments.
Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper may be traded in the secondary market
after its issuance. Variable rate demand notes are securities with a variable interest which is readjusted on pre-established dates. Variable
rate demand notes are subject to payment of principal and accrued interest (usually within seven days) on a Fund’s demand. Master
notes are negotiated notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements
with issuers who meet the credit quality criteria of the Fund. The interest rate on a master note may fluctuate based upon changes in
specified interest rates or be reset periodically according to a prescribed formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary
market in master notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively
short notice. Funding agreements are agreements between an insurance company and a Fund covering underlying demand notes. Although there
is no secondary market in funding agreements, if the underlying notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal
amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes and funding agreements are generally illiquid and therefore subject to the
Funds' percentage limitation for illiquid investments.
Regulation
S Securities. Regulation S securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers
are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the 1933 Act. Offerings of Regulation
S securities may be conducted outside of the United States, and Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal
or contractual restrictions on resale. Although Regulation S securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the price
realized from these sales could be less than that originally paid by a Fund. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded
may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly
traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.

Real
Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs are trusts that sell equity
or debt securities to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interest therein. A REIT may focus on particular projects,
such as apartment complexes, or geographic regions, such as the southeastern United States or both. Equity REITs invest the majority of
their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital
gains by selling property that has appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and
derive income from the collection of interest payments.
Investments
in REITs may be subject to many of the same risks as direct investments in real estate. These
risks include difficulties in valuing and trading real estate, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local
economic conditions, adverse changes in the climate for real estate, environmental liability risks, increases in property taxes and operating
expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of
properties to tenants, heavy cash flow dependency and increases in interest rates. To the extent that a Fund invests in REITs, the Fund
could conceivably acquire real estate directly as a result of a default on the REIT interests or obligations it owns.
In
addition to the risks of direct real estate investment described above, equity REITs may be affected by any
changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit
extended. REITs are also subject to the following risks: they are dependent upon management skill and on cash flows; are not diversified;
are subject to defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to maintain an exemption from the 1940 Act; and
are subject to interest rate risk. A Fund that invests in REITs will bear a proportionate share of the expenses of the REITs.
Furthermore,
for tax reasons, a REIT may impose limits on how much of its securities any one investor may
own. These ownership limitations (also called “excess share provisions”) may be based on ownership of securities by multiple
funds and accounts managed by the same investment adviser and typically result in adverse consequences (such as automatic divesture of
voting and dividend rights for shares that exceed the excess share provision) to investors who exceed the limit. A REIT’s excess
share provision may result in a Fund being unable to purchase (or otherwise obtain economic exposure to) the desired amounts of certain
REITs. In some circumstances, a Fund may seek and obtain a waiver from a REIT to exceed the REIT’s
ownership
limitations without being subject to the adverse consequences of exceeding such limit were a waiver
not obtained, provided that the Fund complies with the provisions of the waiver.
Initial
Public Offerings. IPOs of securities issued by unseasoned companies
with little or no operating history are risky and their prices are highly volatile, but they can result in very large gains in their initial
trading. Attractive IPOs are often oversubscribed and may not be available to a Fund, or only in very limited quantities. Thus, when a
Fund’s size is smaller, any gains from IPOs will have an exaggerated impact on the Fund’s reported performance than when
the Fund is larger. A Fund may engage in short-term trading in connection with its IPO investments, which could produce higher trading
costs and adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that a Fund will have favorable IPO investment opportunities.
Other
Investment Companies.
Unless otherwise indicated in this SAI or in a Fund’s prospectus,
a Fund may purchase shares of other investment companies, including
exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), non-exchange
traded U.S. registered open-end investment companies (mutual funds), closed-end investment companies, or non-U.S. investment companies
traded on foreign exchanges. When a Fund purchases shares of another investment company, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate
share of the advisory fees and other operating expenses of such investment company and will be subject to the risks associated with the
portfolio investments of the underlying investment company.
A
Fund’s investment in the securities of other investment companies is subject to the applicable provisions
of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Specifically, Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act contains various limitations on the ability of
a registered investment company (an “acquiring fund”) to acquire shares of another registered investment company (an “acquired
fund”). Under these limits, an acquiring fund generally cannot (i) purchase more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock
of an acquired fund;
(ii) invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by an acquired company; and (iii) invest more than 10% of its total
assets in securities issued by other investment companies. Likewise, an acquired fund, as well as its principal underwriter or any broker
or dealer registered under the Exchange Act, cannot knowingly sell more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of the acquired
fund to an acquiring fund, or more than 10% of the total outstanding voting stock of the acquired fund to acquiring funds generally.
Rule
12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, which became effective
January 19, 2022, created a regulatory framework for funds’ investments in other funds. Rule 12d1-4 allows a fund to acquire the
securities of another investment company in excess of the limitations imposed by Section 12 without obtaining an exemptive order from
the SEC, subject to certain limitations and conditions.
Among those conditions is the requirement that,
prior to a fund relying on Rule 12d1-4 to acquire securities of
another fund in excess of the limits of Section 12(d)(1), the acquiring fund must enter into a Fund of Funds Agreement with the acquired
fund. (This requirement does not apply when the acquiring fund’s investment adviser acts as the acquired fund’s investment
adviser and
does not act as sub-adviser
to either fund.)
Rule
12d1-4 also is designed to limit the use of complex fund structures. Under Rule 12d1-4, an acquired fund
is prohibited from purchasing or otherwise acquiring the securities of another investment company or private fund if, immediately after
the purchase, the securities of investment companies and private funds owned by the acquired fund have an aggregate value in excess of
10% of the value of the acquired fund’s total assets, subject to certain limited exceptions. Accordingly, to the extent a Fund’s
shares are sold to other investment companies in reliance on Rule 12d1-4, the Fund will be limited in the amount it could invest in other
investment companies and private funds.
In
addition to Rule 12d1-4, the 1940 Act and related rules provide other exemptions from these restrictions.
For example, these limitations do not apply to investments by a Fund in investment companies that are money market funds, including money
market funds that have the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser as an investment adviser.
Limited
Partnerships. A limited partnership interest entitles the Fund
to participate in the investment return of the partnership’s assets as defined by the agreement among the partners. As a limited
partner, the Fund generally is not permitted to participate in the management of the partnership. However, unlike a
general
partner whose liability is not limited, a limited partner’s liability generally is limited to the amount of its commitment
to the partnership.
Master
Limited Partnerships (MLPs). MLPs generally are limited partnerships
(or limited liability companies), the common units of which are listed and traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter.
MLPs generally have two classes of partners, the general partner and the limited partners. The general partner normally controls the MLP
through an equity interest plus units that are subordinated to the common (publicly traded) units for an initial period and then only
converting to common if certain financial tests are met. The general partner also generally receives a larger portion of the net income
as incentive. As cash flow grows, the general partner receives a greater interest in the incremental income compared to the interest of
limited partners.
MLP
common units represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership, providing limited voting rights and
entitling the holder to a share of the company’s success through distributions and/or capital appreciation. Unlike shareholders
of a corporation, common unit holders do not elect directors annually and generally have the right to vote only on certain significant
events, such as mergers, a sale of substantially all of the assets, removal of the general partner or material amendments to the partnership
agreement. MLPs are required by their partnership agreements to distribute a large percentage of their current operating earnings. Common
unit holders generally have first right to a minimum quarterly distribution (MQD) prior to distributions to the convertible subordinated
unit holders or the general partner (including incentive distributions). Common unit holders typically have arrearage rights if the MQD
is not met. In the event of liquidation, MLP common unit holders have first right to the partnership’s remaining assets after bondholders,
other debt holders, and preferred unit holders have been paid in full.
The
general partner or managing member interest in an MLP is typically retained by the original sponsors of
an MLP, such as its founders, corporate partners and entities that sell assets to the MLP. The holder of the general partner or managing
member interest can be liable in certain circumstances for amounts greater than the amount of the holder’s investment in the general
partner or managing member. General partner or managing member interests often confer direct board participation rights in, and in many
cases control over the operations of, the MLP. General partner or managing member interests can be privately held or owned by publicly
traded entities. General partner or managing member interests receive cash distributions, typically in an amount of up to 2% of available
cash, which is contractually defined in the partnership or limited liability company agreement. In addition, holders of general partner
or managing member interests typically receive incentive distribution rights (IDRs), which provide them with an increasing share of the
entity’s aggregate cash distributions upon the payment of per common unit distributions that exceed specified threshold levels
above the MQD. Incentive distributions to a general partner are designed to encourage the general partner, who controls and operates the
partnership, to maximize the partnership’s cash flow and increase distributions to the limited partners. Due to the IDRs, general
partners of MLPs have higher distribution growth prospects than their underlying MLPs, but quarterly incentive distribution payments would
also decline at a greater rate than the decline rate in quarterly distributions to common and subordinated unit holders in the event of
a reduction in the MLP’s quarterly distribution. The ability of the limited partners or members to remove the general partner or
managing member without cause is typically very limited. In addition, some MLPs permit the holder of IDRs to reset, under specified circumstances,
the incentive distribution levels and receive compensation in exchange for the distribution rights given up in the reset.
Some
companies in which a Fund may invest have been organized as limited
liability companies (MLP LLCs). Such MLP LLCs generally are treated in the same manner as MLPs for federal income tax purposes (i.e.,
generally taxed as partnerships). MLP LLC common units trade on a national securities exchange or OTC. In contrast to MLPs, MLP LLCs have
no general partner and there are generally no incentives that entitle management or other unitholders to increased percentages of cash
distributions as distributions reach higher target levels. In addition, MLP LLC common unitholders typically have voting rights with respect
to the MLP LLC, whereas MLP common units have limited voting rights.
Investments
in securities of an MLP involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks
related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential
conflicts
of interest between the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related
to the general partner’s right to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. Certain MLP
securities may trade in lower volumes due to their smaller capitalizations, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements
and lower market liquidity. MLPs are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility,
these investments may not provide attractive returns.
There
are also certain tax risks undertaken by the Fund when it invests in MLPs. MLPs are generally treated
as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes subject to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Partnerships
do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level, subject to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Rather, each
partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or
a change in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its
taxable income. This would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a
reduction in the value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund. Also, to the extent a distribution received
by a Fund from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced,
which may increase the Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect
of such interests.
Private
Equity and Debt Investments. Privately issued securities, which
include private investments in public equity (PIPEs), and private debt investments, involve an extraordinarily high degree of business
and financial risk and can result in substantial or complete losses. Some portfolio companies in which the Fund may invest may be operating
at a loss or with substantial variations in operating results from period to period and may need substantial additional capital to support
expansion or to achieve or maintain competitive positions. Such companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies
with much greater financial resources, much more extensive development, production, marketing and service capabilities and a much larger
number of qualified managerial and technical personnel. The Fund can offer no assurance that the marketing efforts of any particular portfolio
company will be successful or that its business will succeed. Additionally, privately held companies are not subject to SEC reporting
requirements or the reporting requirements of publicly traded companies in applicable jurisdictions, are not required to maintain their
accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and are not required to maintain effective internal controls
over financial reporting. As a result, the Adviser may not have timely or accurate information about the business, financial conditions
and results of operations of the privately held companies in which the Fund invests. The more limited financial information and lack of
publicly available prices require a Fund to determine a fair value for such investments in accordance with the valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Difficulty in valuing such investments may make it difficult to accurately determine a Fund's exposure
to privately issued securities. The Fund’s NAV could be adversely affected if the Fund’s determinations regarding the fair
value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such
investments. In addition, input from the Adviser’s investment professionals as part of the Fund’s valuation process could
result in a conflict of interest as the Adviser’s management fee is based, in part, on the value of the Fund’s assets.
Investments
in private companies may be considered to be illiquid and may be difficult to sell at a desirable
time or at the prices at which the Fund has valued the investments. Additional risks include that the Fund could be subject to contingent
liabilities in the event a private issuer is acquired by another company during the period it is held by the Fund; and that the company
may be using excessive leverage. Privately issued debt securities can often be below investment grade quality and frequently are unrated.
Private
Investments in Public Equity. Private investments in public equity
(PIPES) are equity securities in a private placement that are issued by issuers who have outstanding, publicly-traded equity securities
of the same class. Shares in PIPES generally are not registered with the SEC until after a certain time period from the date the private
sale is completed. This restricted period can last many months. Until the public registration process is completed, PIPES are restricted
as to resale and the Fund cannot freely trade the
securities.
Generally, such restrictions cause the PIPES to be illiquid during this time. PIPES may contain provisions
that the issuer will pay specified financial penalties to the holder if the issuer does not publicly register the restricted equity securities
within a specified period of time, but there is no assurance that the restricted equity securities will be publicly registered, or that
the registration will remain in effect.
Distressed
Debt Securities. Distressed debt securities are securities that
are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise in default or in risk of being in default as to the repayment of principal and/or
interest at the time of acquisition by a Fund or that are rated in the lower rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations (for example, Ca or lower by Moody’s and CC or lower by S&P or Fitch) or, if unrated, are in the judgment
of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser of equivalent quality (“Distressed Securities”). Investment in Distressed Securities is speculative
and involves significant risks. Each Fund will generally make such investments only when the Adviser or Sub-Adviser believes it is reasonably
likely that the issuer of the Distressed Securities will make an exchange offer or will be the subject of a plan of reorganization pursuant
to which a Fund will receive new securities in return for the Distressed Securities. However, there can be no assurance that such an exchange
offer will be made or that such a plan of reorganization will be adopted. Additionally, a significant period of time may pass between
the time at which a Fund makes its investment in Distressed Securities and the time that any such exchange offer or plan of reorganization
is completed, if at all. During this period, it is unlikely that a Fund would receive any interest payments on the Distressed Securities,
a Fund will be subject to significant uncertainty as to whether or not the exchange offer or plan of reorganization will be completed
and a Fund may be required to bear certain extraordinary expenses to protect and recover its investment. Therefore, a Fund’s ability
to achieve current income for its shareholders may be diminished. Each Fund also will be subject to significant uncertainty as to when
and in what manner and for what value the obligations evidenced by the distressed securities will eventually be satisfied (e.g., through
a liquidation of the obligor’s assets, an exchange offer or plan of reorganization involving the distressed securities or a payment
of some amount in satisfaction of the obligation). Even if an exchange offer is made or plan of reorganization is adopted with respect
to Distressed Securities held by a Fund, there can be no assurance that the securities or other assets received by the Fund in connection
with such exchange offer or plan of reorganization will not have a lower value or income potential than may have been anticipated when
the investment was made or no value. Moreover, any securities received by a Fund upon completion of an exchange offer or plan of reorganization
may be restricted as to resale. Similarly, if a Fund participates in negotiations with respect to any exchange offer or plan of reorganization
with respect to an issuer of Distressed Securities, a Fund may be restricted from disposing of such securities. To the extent that a Fund
becomes involved in such proceedings, the Fund may have a more active participation in the affairs of the issuer than that assumed generally
by an investor. Each Fund, however, will not make investments for the purpose of exercising day-to-day management of any issuer’s
affairs.
Defaulted
Securities. Defaulted securities are debt securities on which the
issuer is not currently making interest payments. In order to enforce its rights in defaulted securities, a Fund may be required to participate
in legal proceedings or take possession of and manage assets securing the issuer’s obligations on the defaulted securities. This
could increase operating expenses and adversely affect net asset value. Risks of defaulted securities may be considerably higher as they
are generally unsecured and subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Investments in defaulted securities generally will also be
considered illiquid investments subject to the limitations described herein, except as otherwise may be determined under the Trust’s
applicable policies and procedures.
Variable
or Floating Rate Instruments. Variable or floating rate instruments
are securities that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the obligation. The interest rates for securities with
variable interest rates are readjusted on set dates (such as the last day of the month or calendar quarter) and the interest rates for
securities with floating rates are reset whenever a specified interest rate change occurs. Variable or floating interest rates generally
reduce changes in the market price of securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate
market rates. Accordingly, as market interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less
for variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable or floating interest rates
have
a demand feature allowing the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued interest prior to its maturity.
The terms of such demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued interest by the issuer, a guarantor, and/or a liquidity
provider. All variable or floating rate instruments will meet the applicable rating standards of the Funds. A Fund’s Adviser, or
Sub-Adviser, as applicable, may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund’s rating
standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those rating standards.
The
secondary market for certain floating rate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask
spreads and extended trade settlement periods (in some cases, longer than seven days). Certain floating rate loans held by a Fund
might not be considered securities for purposes of the Exchange Act and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such as the Funds, may
not be entitled to rely on the antifraud provisions of those Acts.
Zero
Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Securities. Zero coupon securities do not
pay interest or principal until final maturity, unlike debt securities that traditionally provide periodic payments of interest (referred
to as a coupon payment). Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit
risks of a zero coupon security. Pay-in-kind securities are securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities.
Upon maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the aggregate par value of the securities. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may
be subject to greater fluctuation in value and lower liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities
paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities at a price below
the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents “original
issue discount” on the security.
Premium
Securities. The Funds may invest in premium securities. Premium
securities are securities bearing coupon rates higher than the then prevailing market rates.
Premium
securities are typically purchased at a “premium,” in other words, at a price greater than the principal
amount payable on maturity. The Fund will not amortize the premium paid for such securities in calculating its net investment income.
As a result, in such cases the purchase of premium securities provides the Fund a higher level of investment income distributable to shareholders
on a current basis than if the Fund purchased securities bearing current market rates of interest. However, the yield on these securities
would remain at the current market rate. If securities purchased by the Fund at a premium are called or sold prior to maturity, the Fund
will realize a loss to the extent the call or sale price is less than the purchase price. Additionally, the Fund will realize a loss of
principal if it holds such securities to maturity.
Stripped
Income Securities. The Funds may invest in stripped income securities.
Stripped Income Securities are obligations representing an interest in all or a portion of the income or principal components of an underlying
or related security, a pool of securities, or other assets. Stripped income securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives
some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped, where one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only
class or the IO class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only class or the PO class).
The
market values of stripped income securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest
rates than are conventional income securities. In the case of mortgage-backed stripped income securities, the yields to maturity of IOs
and POs may be very sensitive to principal repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages resulting in a Fund being unable
to recoup its initial investment or resulting in a less than anticipated yield. The market for stripped income securities may be limited,
making it difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price.
Privatizations.
The Funds may invest in privatizations. The governments of certain foreign countries have, to varying degrees, embarked on privatization
programs to sell part or all of their interests in government owned or controlled companies or enterprises (privatizations). A Fund’s
investments in such privatizations may include: (i) privately negotiated investments in a government owned or controlled company or enterprise;
(ii) investments in the initial offering of equity securities of a government owned or controlled
company
or enterprise; and (iii) investments in the securities of a government owned or controlled company or enterprise
following its initial equity offering.
In
certain foreign countries, the ability of foreign entities such as the Fund to participate in privatizations may
be limited by local law, or the terms on which the Fund may be permitted to participate may be less advantageous than those for local
investors. There can be no assurance that foreign governments will continue to sell companies and enterprises currently owned or controlled
by them, that privatization programs will be successful, or that foreign governments will not re-nationalize companies or enterprises
that have been privatized. If large blocks of these enterprises are held by a small group of stockholders the sale of all or some portion
of these blocks could have an adverse effect on the price.
Participation
Notes. Participation notes, also known as participation certificates,
are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to replicate the performance of foreign companies or foreign securities markets
and can be used by the Fund as an alternative means to access the securities market of a country. Participation notes are generally traded
OTC. The performance results of participation notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the foreign company or foreign securities
market that they seek to replicate due to transaction and other expenses. Investments in participation notes involve the same risks associated
with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities market that they seek to replicate. In addition, participation
notes are subject to counterparty risk, currency risk and reinvestment risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank
that issues them will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. Participation notes constitute
general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, and a Fund is relying on the creditworthiness
of such banks or broker-dealers and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying assets. Additionally,
there is a currency risk since the dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates
between the dollar and (a) the currencies in which the notes are denominated, such as euro denominated participation notes, and (b) the
currency of the country in which the foreign company sits. Also, there is a reinvestment risk because the amounts from the note may be
reinvested in a less valuable investment when the note matures.
Investment
Techniques
Forward
Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. Each
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a forward commitment, when-issued and delayed delivery basis whereby the Fund buys or sells a
security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. Securities purchased or sold on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed
delivery basis involve delivery and payment that take place in the future after the trade date or the date of the commitment to purchase
or sell the securities at a pre-determined price and/or yield. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered. Forward commitments
include “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are contracts for the purchase and sale of mortgage-backed securities
issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. agencies
or government sponsored enterprises for delivery at a future
settlement date agreed upon by the two
parties to the transaction, which is typically a month or more
after the trade date of the transaction. On
the trade date of a TBA transaction, the counterparties agree upon
certain criteria for the securities that are to be delivered, including the issuer, maturity, coupon, face value and price, but the precise
securities to be delivered are not specified.
Instead,
the actual securities to be delivered,
which must satisfy the specified criteria, are communicated by
the seller to the buyer shortly before the agreed upon settlement date. Although a Fund generally intends to acquire or dispose of securities
on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, a Fund may instead sell these securities or its commitment before the
settlement date if deemed advisable. This will frequently be the case for TBA transactions and other forward-settling mortgage-backed
securities transactions. No specific limitation exists as to the percentage of the Fund’s assets which may be used to acquire securities
on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis.
When
purchasing a security on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, a Fund assumes
the risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when
determining its net asset value. Securities purchased on a forward
commitment,
when-issued or delayed delivery basis are subject to changes in value based upon the public’s perception
of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or anticipated, in the level of interest rates. Accordingly, securities acquired
on such a basis may expose a Fund to risks because they may experience such fluctuations prior to actual delivery. Purchasing securities
on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis may involve the additional risk that the yield available in the market
when the delivery takes place actually may be higher than that obtained in the transaction itself.
Many
forward commitments, when-issued and delayed delivery transactions, including TBAs, are also subject
to the risk that a counterparty may become bankrupt or otherwise fail to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, including
making payments or fulfilling delivery obligations to a Fund. A Fund may obtain no or only limited recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganizational
proceedings, and any recovery may be significantly delayed. With respect to TBA transactions and other
forward-settling mortgage-backed securities
transactions, the counterparty risk may be mitigated by the exchange
of variation margin between the counterparties on a regular basis as the market value of the deliverable security fluctuates.
Investment
in these types of securities may increase the possibility that the Fund will incur short-term gains
subject to federal taxation or short-term losses if the Fund must engage in portfolio transactions in order to honor its commitment. In
the case of a purchase transaction, the delayed delivery securities, which will not begin to accrue interest or dividends until the settlement
date, will be recorded as an asset of a Fund and will be subject to the risk of market fluctuation. The purchase price of the delayed
delivery securities is a liability of a Fund until settlement. TBA transactions and other forward-settling mortgage-backed securities
transactions may be effected pursuant to a collateral agreement with the counterparty
under which the parties exchange
collateral consisting of cash or liquid securities in an amount
as specified by the agreement that is based on the change in the market value of the TBA transactions governed by the agreement. A Fund
or the counterparty will make payments throughout the term of the transaction as collateral values fluctuate to maintain full collateralization
for the term of the transaction. Collateral will be marked-to-market every business day. If the counterparty defaults on the transaction
or declares bankruptcy or insolvency, a Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, or the Fund might experience delay and costs
in recovering collateral or may suffer a loss if the value of the collateral declines.
Short
Sales.
A
short sale involves the sale of a security which a Fund does not own in the hope of purchasing the same
security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the Fund must borrow the security from a broker. A Fund normally
closes a short sale by purchasing an equivalent number of shares of the borrowed security on the open market and delivering them to the
broker. A short sale is typically effected when the Fund’s Adviser believes that the price of a particular security will decline.
Open short positions using options, futures, swaps or forward foreign currency contracts are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
To
secure its obligation to deliver the securities sold short to the broker
and repay the securities borrowed, a Fund will be required to deposit cash or liquid securities with the broker as collateral. In addition,
a Fund may have to pay a fee or rate of interest to borrow the securities, and while the loan of the security sold short is outstanding,
the Fund is required to pay to the broker the amount of any dividends paid on shares sold short. The collateral pledged by the Fund to
the broker in connection with short sales will
be marked to market daily. The collateral pledged does not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that a Fund may lose on a short
sale.
Short
positions create a risk that the Fund will be required to cover them by buying the security at a time when
the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding
the same security long. Because a short position loses value as the security’s price increases, the loss on a short sale is theoretically
unlimited. The loss on a long position is limited to what the Fund originally paid for the security together with any transaction costs.
A Fund may not always be able to borrow a security a Fund seeks to sell short at a particular time or at an acceptable price. It is possible
that the market value of the securities the Fund holds in long positions will decline at the same time that the market value of the securities
the Fund has sold short increases, thereby increasing the Fund’s potential
volatility
and losses. Because a Fund may be required to pay dividends, interest, premiums and other expenses in connection with a short sale, any
benefit for the Fund resulting from the short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate gain or loss will be decreased or
increased, respectively, by the amount of such expenses.
Short
sales against the box are short sales of securities that a Fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent
in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a Fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside
securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities)
and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The Fund will incur transaction costs, including fees
or interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.
Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund are permitted to effect short
sales that are not "against the box." In a short sale that is not "against the box", Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Global
Real Estate Income Fund do not own the security borrowed. To secure their obligation to deliver to such broker-dealer the securities sold
short, Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund must segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities
equal to the difference between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral
with the broker in connection with the short sale (including the proceeds of the short sale). The amounts deposited with the broker or
segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Funds may lose on a short sale. In
a short sale that is not "against the box", Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund will normally close
out a short position by purchasing on the open market and delivering to the broker-dealer an equal amount of the securities sold short.
Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund will realize a gain if the price
of a security declines between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. On the other
hand, the Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased
and the amount of any loss increased by any premium or interest that the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale.
It should be noted that possible losses from short sales that are not "against the box" differ from those that could arise from a cash
investment in a security in that losses from short sales that are not "against the box" may be limitless, while the losses from a cash
investment in a security cannot exceed the total amount of the Fund's investment in the security. For example, if the Fund purchases a
$10 security, potential loss is limited to $10; however, if the Fund sells a $10 security short, it may have to purchase the security
for return to the broker-dealer when the market value of that security is $50, thereby incurring a loss of $40.
Short
sales against the box result in a “constructive sale” and require a Fund to recognize any taxable gain
unless an exception to the constructive sale applies. See “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters —
Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Options, futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and hedging transactions.”
Margin
Transactions. The Fund will not purchase any security on margin,
except that each Fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities.
The payment by a Fund of initial or variation margin in connection with futures, swaps or options transactions and the use of a reverse
repurchase agreement to finance the purchase of a security will not be considered the purchase of a security on margin.
Interfund
Loans. The SEC has issued an exemptive order permitting the Invesco
Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. The Invesco Funds’ interfund lending
program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirements that: (1) an interfund loan generally will occur only if the
interest rate on the loan is more favorable to the borrowing fund than the interest rate typically available from a bank for a comparable
transaction and the rate is more favorable to the lending fund than the rate available on overnight repurchase transactions; (2) an Invesco
Fund may not lend more than 15% of its net assets through the program (measured at the time of the last loan); and (3) an Invesco Fund
may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to another Invesco Fund through
the
program (measured at the time of the loan). A Fund may participate in the program only if and to the extent
that such participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. Interfund loans have a maximum
duration of seven days. Loans may be called with one day’s notice and may be repaid on any day.
Borrowing.
The Funds may borrow money to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions (defined below) and Fund Policies.
Such borrowings may be utilized (i) for temporary or emergency purposes; (ii) in anticipation of or in response to adverse market conditions;
or, (iii) for cash management purposes. Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund and Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund may also borrow money to purchase
additional securities when Invesco or the Sub-Adviser deems it advantageous to do so. A Fund may not purchase additional securities when
any borrowings from banks exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding. All borrowings
are limited to an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of a Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other
than borrowings). Any borrowings that exceed this amount will be reduced within three business days to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation even if it is not advantageous to sell securities at that time.
If
there are unusually heavy redemptions, a Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a time
when it may not be advantageous to do so. Selling Fund securities under these circumstances may result in a lower net asset value per
share or decreased dividend income, or both. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that, in the event of abnormally heavy redemption requests,
a Fund’s borrowing ability would help to mitigate any such effects and could make the forced sale of their portfolio securities
less likely.
The
ability of Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund and Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund to borrow money to purchase
additional securities gives the Fund greater flexibility to purchase securities for investment or tax reasons and not to be dependent
on cash flows. To the extent borrowing costs exceed the return on the additional investments; the return realized by the Fund’s
shareholders will be adversely affected. The Fund’s borrowing to purchase additional securities creates an opportunity for
a greater total return to the Fund, but, at the same time, increases exposure to losses. The Fund’s willingness to borrow
money for investment purposes, and the amount it borrows depends upon many factors, including investment outlook, market conditions and
interest rates. Successful use of borrowed money to purchase additional investments depends on Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s
ability to predict correctly interest rates and market movements; such a strategy may not be successful during any period in which it
is employed.
The
Funds may borrow from a bank, broker-dealer, or another Invesco Fund. Additionally, the Funds are permitted
to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in their account with their custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for
such overdrafts, the Funds may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in their account so the custodian bank can be compensated
by earning interest on such funds; or (ii) compensate the custodian bank by paying it an agreed upon rate. A Fund may not purchase additional
securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of a Fund’s total assets or when any borrowings from an Invesco
Fund are outstanding.
Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund participate in a secured, committed
line of credit (together, the “Line of Credit”) with certain banks as lenders. The Line of Credit permits borrowings of
up to a maximum aggregate amount by a Fund, as negotiated from time to time. Borrowings by a Fund under the Line of Credit can be used
to purchase Senior Loans or other securities for investment or for other purposes.
Under
the Line of Credit, interest is charged to a Fund, based on its borrowings, at current commercial rates.
Additionally, the Fund will pay a loan commitment fee for the Line of Credit, and pays additional fees annually to the lenders for management
and administration of the facility. A Fund can prepay loans and terminate its participation in the Line of Credit at any time upon prior
notice to the lenders.
Invesco
Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund participates in a secured
line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) with certain commercial paper conduits, as lenders, Citibank N.A. as a secondary lender
and administrator, and other banks, each as lenders from time to time. The Line of Credit enables the Fund to
participate
with certain other Invesco funds, as borrowers, in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits
borrowings by the participants of up to a maximum aggregate amount, as negotiated from time to time. Borrowings by the Fund under
the Line of Credit can be used to purchase securities for investment or for other purposes. The Trust’s Board determined that the
Fund’s participation in the Line of Credit is consistent with the Fund's investment objective and policies and is in the best interest
of the Fund and its shareholders.
Under the Line of Credit, in the event that the commercial paper conduit lenders are unable or unwilling to make loans, Citibank N.A.
and the other bank lenders, if any, would then be required to make those loans.
Under
the Line of Credit, interest is charged to the Funds, based on its borrowings, at current commercial rates.
Additionally, the Funds will pay its pro rata portion of a loan commitment fee for the Line of Credit, and pays additional fees annually
to the lenders on its outstanding borrowings for management and administration of the facility. The Funds can prepay loans and terminate
its participation in the Line of Credit at any time upon prior notice to Citibank N.A. As a borrower under the Line of Credit, the Funds
have certain rights and remedies under state and federal law comparable to those it would have with respect to a loan from a bank.
Lending
Portfolio Securities. Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities
(principally to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions) to generate additional income.Such loans are callable at any time and
are continuously secured by segregated collateral equal to no less than the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities.
Such collateral will be cash, letters of credit, or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies.
Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of its total assets. A Fund will loan its securities only to parties
that Invesco has determined are in good standing and when, in Invesco’s judgment, the potential income earned would justify the
risks.
Although
voting rights may pass with the lending of portfolio securities, a Fund will be entitled to call loaned
securities, or otherwise obtain rights to vote or consent, when deemed necessary by Invesco with respect to a material event affecting
securities on loan. The Fund would receive income in lieu of dividends on loaned securities and may, at the same time, generate income
on the loan collateral or on the investment of any cash collateral.
If
the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons,
a Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or gaining access to the collateral. If the Fund is not able
to recover the securities loaned, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement security in the market. Lending securities
entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the loaned securities increases and the collateral is
not increased accordingly.
Any
cash received as collateral for loaned securities will be invested, in accordance with a Fund’s investment
guidelines, in short-term money market instruments, affiliated unregistered investment companies that are compliant with Rule 2a-7 or
Affiliated Money Market Funds. Investing this cash subjects that investment to market appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of determining
whether a Fund is complying with its investment policies, strategies and restrictions, the Fund will consider the loaned securities as
assets of the Fund, but will not consider any collateral received as a Fund asset. The Fund will bear any loss on the investment of cash
collateral.
For
a discussion of tax considerations relating to lending portfolio securities, see “Dividends, Distributions and
Tax Matters — Tax Matters — Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Securities lending.”
Repurchase
Agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions
involving the types of securities in which it is permitted to invest. Repurchase agreements are agreements under which a Fund purchases
a security from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase that security at a mutually agreed upon time and price (which is higher
than the purchase price), thereby resulting in a yield to the Fund
during a Fund’s holding period. A Fund may enter into a
“continuing contract” or “open” repurchase agreement under which the seller is under a continuing obligation
to repurchase the underlying securities from the Fund on demand and the effective interest rate is negotiated on a daily basis. Repurchase
agreements may be viewed as loans made by a Fund which are collateralized by the securities subject to repurchase.
In
any repurchase agreement, the securities that are subject to the
transaction may be obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Funds may also engage in repurchase
agreements collateralized by non-government securities that are rated investment grade or below investment grade by the requisite NRSROs
or unrated securities of comparable quality, loan participations, and equities.
If
the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement,
a Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience a loss on the sale of the security subject to the repurchase
agreement to the extent that the sale proceeds including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in the repurchase agreement,
including interest. In addition, although the Bankruptcy Code and other insolvency laws may provide certain protections for some types
of repurchase agreements, if the seller of a repurchase agreement should be involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, a Fund may
incur delay and costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a loss of principal and interest if the value of the underlying
security declines or the Fund may be deemed to be an unsecured creditor and be required to return the securities to the seller.
The
Funds may enter into repurchase agreements that involve securities that may be subject to a court- ordered
or other “stay” in the event of the seller’s bankruptcy or insolvency. A “stay” will prevent a Fund
from selling the securities it holds under a repurchase agreement until permitted by a court or other authority. In these situations a
Fund may be subject to greater risk that the value of the securities may decline before they are sold, and that a Fund may experience
a loss.
The
securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market every business day,
and if
the value of the securities falls below a specified percentage
of the repurchase price (typically 102%), the counterparty will be required to deliver additional collateral to a Fund in the form of
cash or additional securities. Custody of the securities will be maintained by a Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian for the duration
of the agreement.
The
Funds may invest their cash balances in joint accounts with other Invesco Funds for the purpose of investing
in repurchase agreements with maturities not to exceed 60 days, and in certain other money market instruments with remaining maturities
not to exceed 90 days. Repurchase agreements may be considered loans by a Fund under the 1940 Act.
Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 10% of
its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days.
Restricted
and Illiquid Investments. The Funds may not acquire any illiquid
investment if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
For
purposes of the above 15% limitation, an illiquid investment means any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed
of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value
of the investment, as determined pursuant to the 1940 Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder. Illiquid investments may include
a wide variety of investments, such as, for example:
(1) repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days (unless
the agreements have demand/redemption features);
(2) OTC options contracts and certain other derivatives (including
certain swap agreements);
(3) fixed time deposits that are not subject to prepayment or that provide for withdrawal penalties upon prepayment (other than overnight
deposits);
(4) loan interests and other direct debt instruments;
(5) municipal lease obligations;
(6) commercial paper issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933
Act; and (7) securities that are unregistered, that can be sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, or that are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act or otherwise restricted under the federal securities laws, including
private placement securities sold pursuant to Regulation S.
Limitations
on the resale of restricted investments may have an adverse effect on their marketability, which
may prevent a Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. The Fund may have to bear the expense of registering such securities
for resale, and the risk of substantial delays in effecting such registrations. A Fund’s difficulty valuing and selling restricted
securities or illiquid investments may result in a loss or be costly to the Fund.
If
a substantial market develops for a restricted security or illiquid investment held by a Fund, it may be treated
as a liquid investment, in accordance with procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board on behalf of the Funds.
Rule
144A Securities. Rule 144A securities are securities which, while
privately placed, are eligible for purchase and resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. This Rule permits certain qualified institutional
buyers, such as the Funds, to trade in privately placed securities even though such securities are not registered under the 1933 Act.
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, a Fund will consider whether securities purchased under Rule 144A are illiquid and thus subject
to the Fund’s restriction on illiquid investments. The determination of whether a Rule 144A security is liquid or illiquid will
take into account relevant market trading, and investment-specific considerations consistent with applicable SEC guidance. Additional
factors that may be considered include the (i) frequency of trades and quotes; (ii) number of dealers and potential purchasers; (iii)
dealer undertakings to make a market; and (iv) nature of the security and of market place trades (for example, the time needed to dispose
of the security, the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer). Investing in Rule 144A securities could increase the
amount of a Fund’s illiquid investments if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.
Reverse
Repurchase Agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements
that involve the sale of securities held by a Fund to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, with an agreement that
the Fund will repurchase the securities at an agreed upon price and date or upon demand. During the reverse repurchase agreement period,
the Fund continues to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold, but pays interest to the other party on the proceeds
received. A Fund may employ reverse repurchase agreements (i) for temporary emergency purposes, such as to meet unanticipated net redemptions
so as to avoid liquidating other portfolio securities during unfavorable market conditions; (ii) to cover short-term cash requirements
resulting from the timing of trade settlements; or (iii) to take advantage of market situations where the interest income to be earned
from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction.
Reverse
repurchase agreements are a form of leverage and involve the risk that the market value of securities
to be repurchased by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities, resulting in a
requirement for the Fund to deliver margin to the other party in the amount of the related shortfall, or that the other party may default
on its obligation, so that the Fund is delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns
more volatile and increase the risk of loss. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy
or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by
the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund can participate in a committed reverse repurchase agreement program.
Mortgage
Dollar Rolls. Each Fund may engage in mortgage dollar rolls
(a dollar roll). A dollar roll is a type of transaction that involves the sale by a Fund of a mortgage-backed security to a financial
institution such as a bank or broker dealer, with an agreement that the Fund will repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type,
coupon and maturity) security at an agreed upon price and date. The mortgage securities that are purchased will bear the same interest
rate as those sold, but will generally be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the
period between the sale and repurchase, a Fund will not be entitled to receive interest or principal payments on the securities sold but
is compensated for the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. A Fund typically enters
into a dollar roll transaction to enhance the Fund’s return either on an income or total return basis or to manage pre-payment
risk.
Dollar
roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by a Fund may decline
below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event the buyer of
securities under a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale
of the securities may be restricted pending a
determination
by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase
the securities.
Unless
the benefits of the sale exceed the income, capital appreciation or gains on the securities sold as part
of the dollar roll, the investment performance of a Fund will be less than what the performance would have been without the use of dollar
rolls. The benefits of dollar rolls may depend upon the Adviser or Sub-Adviser’s ability to predict mortgage repayments and interest
rates. There is no assurance that dollar rolls can be successfully employed.
Standby
Commitments. Certain Funds may acquire securities that are subject
to standby commitments from banks or other municipal securities dealers. Under a standby commitment a bank or dealer would agree to purchase,
at the Fund’s option, specified securities at a specified price. Standby commitments generally increase the cost of the acquisition
of the underlying security, thereby reducing the yield. Standby commitments depend upon the issuer’s ability to fulfill its obligation
upon demand. Although no definitive creditworthiness criteria are used for this purpose, Invesco reviews the creditworthiness of the banks
and other municipal securities dealers from which the Funds obtain standby commitments in order to evaluate those risks.
Contracts
for Difference. A contract for difference (CFD) is a contract between
two parties, buyer and seller, stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the nominal value of the underlying
stock, stock basket or index at the opening of the contract and the stock’s, stock basket’s or index’s value at the
close of the contract. The size of the contract and the contract’s expiration date are typically negotiated by the parties to the
CFD transaction. CFDs enable a Fund to take long positions on an underlying stock, stock basket or index and thus potentially capture
gains on movements in the share prices of the stock, stock basket or index without the need to own the underlying stock, stock basket
or index. By entering into a CFD transaction, a Fund could incur losses because it would face many of the same types of risks as owning
the underlying equity security directly. For example, a Fund might buy a position in a CFD and the contract value at the close of the
transaction may be greater than the contract value at the opening of the transaction. This may be due to, among other factors, an increase
in the market value of the underlying equity security. In such a situation, a Fund would have to pay the difference in value of the contract
to the seller of the CFD. CFDs also carry counterparty risk, i.e., the risk that the counterparty to the CFD transaction may be unable
or unwilling to make payments or to otherwise honor its financial obligations under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty were
to do so, the value of the contract, and of a Fund’s shares, may be reduced.
Entry
into a CFD transaction may, in certain circumstances, require the payment of an initial margin, and adverse
market movements against the underlying stock may require the buyer to make additional margin payments. CFDs may be considered illiquid
by the SEC staff and subject to the limitations on illiquid investments. To the extent that there is an imperfect correlation between
the return on a Fund’s obligation to its counterparty under the CFD and the return on related assets in its portfolio, the CFD
transaction may increase such Fund’s financial risk. A Fund will not enter into a CFD transaction that is inconsistent with its
investment objective, policies and strategies.
Derivatives
A
derivative is a financial instrument whose value is dependent upon the value of other assets, rates or indices,
referred to as “underlying reference assets.” These underlying reference assets may include, among others commodities, stocks,
bonds, interest rates, currency exchange rates or related indices. Derivatives include, among others, swaps, options, futures and forward
foreign currency contracts. Some derivatives, such as futures and certain options, are traded on U.S. commodity and securities exchanges,
while other derivatives, such as many types of swap agreements, are privately negotiated and entered into in the OTC market. In addition,
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) and implementing rules require certain types
of swaps to be traded on public execution facilities and centrally cleared.
Derivatives
may be used for “hedging,” which means that they may be used when the portfolio managers seek
to protect the Fund’s investments from a decline in value, which could result from changes in interest
rates,
market prices, currency fluctuations and other market factors. Derivatives may also be used when the portfolio
managers seek to increase liquidity, implement a tax or cash management strategy, invest in a particular stock, bond or segment of the
market in a more efficient or less expensive way, modify the characteristics of the Fund’s portfolio investments, for example,
duration, and/or to enhance return. However derivatives are used, their successful use is not assured and will depend upon, among other
factors, the portfolio managers’ ability to predict and understand relevant market movements.
Certain
derivatives involve leverage, that is, the amount invested may be smaller than the full economic exposure of the derivative instrument
and the Fund could lose more than it invested. The leverage involved in these derivative transactions may result in the Fund’s
net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of its investments.
Commodity
Exchange Act (CEA) Regulation and Exclusions:
With
respect to the Funds, Invesco has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator”
(CPO) under the CEA and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, Invesco is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Funds.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Funds, among other things, to adhere to certain limits on their investments
in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include
non-deliverable forwards, as further described below. Because Invesco and the Funds intend to comply with the terms of the CPO exclusion,
the Funds may, in the future, need to adjust their investment strategies, consistent with their investment objectives, to limit their
investments in these types of instruments. The Funds are not intended as vehicles for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options
or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved Invesco’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Funds, their investment
strategies, their prospectuses or this SAI.
Generally,
the exclusion from CPO regulation on which Invesco relies requires the Funds to meet one of the
following tests for their commodity interest positions, other than positions entered into for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined in
the rules of the CFTC): either (1) the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish the Fund’s positions in commodity
interests may not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund’s portfolio (after taking into account unrealized profits and
unrealized losses on any such positions); or (2) the aggregate net notional value of each Fund’s commodity interest positions,
determined at the time the most recent such position was established, may not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of the Fund’s
portfolio (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions). In addition to meeting one of these
trading limitations, each Fund may not market itself as a commodity pool or otherwise as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures,
commodity options or swaps markets. If, in the future, a Fund can no longer satisfy these requirements, Invesco would withdraw its notice
claiming an exclusion from the definition of a CPO, and Invesco would be subject to registration and regulation as a CPO with respect
to the Fund, in accordance with the CFTC rules that allow for substituted compliance with CFTC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements
based on Invesco’s compliance with comparable SEC requirements. However, as a result of CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund,
a Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses.
General
risks associated with derivatives:
The
use by the Funds of derivatives may involve certain risks, as described below.
Counterparty
Risk: The risk that a counterparty under a derivatives agreement
will not live up to its obligations, including because of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain agreements may not
contemplate delivery of collateral to support fully a counterparty’s contractual obligation; therefore, the Fund might need to
rely solely on contractual remedies to satisfy the counterparty’s full obligation. As with any contractual remedy, there is no
guarantee that the Fund will be successful in pursuing such remedies, particularly in the event of the counterparty’s bankruptcy
or insolvency. Many derivative trading agreements,
such as an ISDA Master Agreement governing OTC swaps, provide for
netting of derivatives transactions
governed
by the agreement in the event of a default by either counterparty, pursuant to which the Fund’s and the counterparty’s obligations
under the relevant transactions can be netted and set-off against each other, in which case a Fund’s obligation or right will be
the net amount owed to or by the counterparty. Netting agreements are intended to function as a counterparty credit risk mitigant, but
in the case of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the relevant counterparty, are subject to the risk that the insolvency regime applicable
to the counterparty might not recognize the enforceability of the contractual netting provisions. The Fund will not enter into a derivative
transaction with any counterparty that Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers believe does not have the financial resources to honor its obligations
under the transaction. Invesco monitors the financial stability of counterparties. Where the obligations of the counterparty are guaranteed,
Invesco monitors the financial stability of the guarantor and the counterparty. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines,
the value of the derivative would also likely decline, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
The
Fund will not enter into a transaction with any single counterparty if the net amount owed or to be received
under existing transactions under the agreements with that counterparty would exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets determined on
the date the transaction is entered into or as otherwise permitted by law.
Leverage
Risk: Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally
invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic
exposure of the instrument or transaction. 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 Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of some derivatives may result in economic leverage,
which does not result in the possibility of the Fund incurring obligations beyond its initial investment, but that nonetheless permits
the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument.
Liquidity
Risk: The risk that a particular derivative is difficult to sell
or liquidate. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate
a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses to the Fund.
Pricing
Risk: The risk that the value of a particular derivative does not
move in tandem or as otherwise expected relative to the corresponding underlying instruments.
Special
Regulatory Risks of Derivatives: The regulation of derivatives
is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. In addition, the SEC, CFTC and the
exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the implementation
or reduction of speculative position limits, the implementation of higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits
and the suspension of trading.
It
is not possible to predict fully the effects of current or future regulation. However, it is possible that developments
in government regulation of various types of derivative instruments, such as speculative position limits on certain types of derivatives,
or limits or restrictions on the counterparties with which the Fund engages in derivative transactions, may limit or prevent the Fund
from using or limit the Fund’s use of these instruments effectively as a part of its investment strategy, and could adversely affect
the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Invesco will continue to monitor developments in the area, particularly
to the extent regulatory changes affect the Fund’s ability to enter into desired swap agreements. New requirements, even if not
directly applicable to the Fund, may increase the cost of the Fund’s investments and cost of doing business.
Tax
Risks: For a discussion of the tax considerations relating to derivative
transactions, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters — Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions.”
General
risks of hedging strategies using derivatives:
The
use by the Funds of hedging strategies involves special considerations and risks, as described below.
Successful
use of hedging transactions depends upon Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ ability to predict correctly
the direction of changes in the value of the applicable markets and securities, contracts and/or
currencies.
While Invesco and the Sub-Advisers are experienced in the use of derivatives for hedging, there can
be no assurance that any particular hedging strategy will succeed.
In
a hedging transaction, there might be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between the price movements
of an instrument used for hedging and the price movements of the investments being hedged. Such a lack of correlation might occur due
to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as changing interest rates, market liquidity, and speculative
or other pressures on the markets in which the hedging instrument is traded.
Hedging
strategies, if successful, can reduce risk of loss by wholly or partially offsetting the negative effect
of unfavorable price movements in the investments being hedged. However, hedging strategies can also reduce opportunity for gain by offsetting
the positive effect of favorable price movements in the hedged investments. Investors should bear in mind that a Fund is not obligated
to actively engage in hedging. For example, a Fund may not have attempted to hedge its exposure to a particular foreign currency at a
time when doing so might have avoided a loss.
Types
of derivatives:
Swaps.
Generally, swap agreements are contracts between a Fund and another party (the counterparty) involving the exchange of payments on specified
terms over periods ranging from a few days to multiple years. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between the
two parties (for an uncleared swap) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a futures commission merchant (FCM) and cleared
through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap). In a basic swap transaction, the Fund agrees with
its counterparty to exchange the returns (or differentials in returns) and/or cash flows earned or realized on a particular asset such
as an equity or debt security, commodity, currency, interest rate or index, calculated with respect to a “notional amount.”
The notional amount is the set amount selected by the parties to use as the basis on which to calculate the obligations that the parties
to a swap agreement have agreed to exchange. The parties typically do not exchange the notional amount. Instead, they agree to exchange
the returns that would be earned or realized if the notional amount were invested in given investments or at given interest rates. Examples
of returns that may be exchanged in a swap agreement are those of a particular security, a particular fixed or variable interest rate,
a particular foreign currency, or a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements can also be
based on credit and other events. In some cases, such as cross currency swaps, the swap agreement may require delivery (exchange) of the
entire notional value of one designated currency for another designated currency.
A
Fund will typically only enter into swap agreements with counterparties who use standard International Swap
and Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) contract documentation. ISDA establishes industry standards for the documentation
of swap agreements. Virtually all principal swap participants use ISDA documentation because it has an established set of definitions,
contract terms and counterparty obligations, including provisions for master netting agreements. It is possible that developments in the
swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements
or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. Additionally, ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features
which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the
Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would
cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Comprehensive
swaps regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act and analogous international
laws enacted after the financial crisis imposed comprehensive regulatory requirements on swaps and swap market participants. The U.S.
regulatory framework includes: (1) registration and regulation of swap dealers and major swap participants; (2) requiring central clearing
and electronic execution of standardized swaps on swap execution facilities; (3) imposing margin requirements on uncleared swap transactions;
(4) regulating and monitoring swap transactions through position limits and large trader reporting requirements; and (5) imposing record
keeping and centralized and public reporting requirements, on an anonymous basis, for most swaps. The CFTC is responsible for the regulation
of most swaps. The SEC has jurisdiction over a small segment of the
market
referred to as “security-based swaps,” which includes swaps on single securities or narrow-based
indices of securities and single name credit default swaps.
Uncleared
swaps. In an uncleared swap, the swap counterparty is typically
a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution. In the event that one party to the swap transaction defaults and the transaction
is terminated prior to its scheduled termination date, one of the parties may be required to make an early termination payment to the
other. An early termination payment may be payable by either the defaulting party or the non-defaulting party, under certain circumstances,
depending upon which of them is “in-the-money” with respect to the swap at the time of its termination. Early termination
payments may be calculated in various ways, but generally represent the amount that the “in-the-money” party would have
to pay to replace the swap as of the date of its termination.
During
the term of an uncleared swap, a Fund will be required to pledge to the swap counterparty, from time
to time, an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to the total net amount (if any) that would be payable by the Fund to the counterparty
if all outstanding swaps between the parties were terminated on the date in question, including any early termination payments (variation
margin). Periodically, changes in the amount pledged are made to recognize changes in value of the swap contract resulting from, among
other things market
value changes in the underlying investment referenced
in the swap. Likewise, the counterparty will be required to pledge cash or other assets to cover its obligations to a Fund. However, the
amount pledged will not always be equal to or more than the amount due to the other party. Therefore, if a counterparty defaults in its
obligations to a Fund, the amount pledged by the counterparty and available to the Fund may not be sufficient to cover all the amounts
due to the Fund and the Fund may sustain a loss.
Regulations
requiring initial margin to be posted by certain market participants
for uncleared swaps have been adopted and are being phased in over time. When these rules take effect with respect to the Funds, if a
Fund is deemed to have material swaps exposure (generally, an average gross notional amount of uncleared swaps and foreign currency forward
contracts at certain measurement dates exceeding $8 billion), it will under these regulations be required to post initial margin in addition
to variation margin.
Uncleared
swaps are not traded on exchanges. As a result, swap participants may not be as protected as participants
on organized exchanges. Performance of a swap agreement is the responsibility only of the swap counterparty and not of any exchange or
clearinghouse. As a result, a Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will be unable or will refuse to perform under such agreement,
including because of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Fund risks the loss of the accrued but unpaid amounts under
a swap agreement, which could be substantial, in the event of a default, insolvency or bankruptcy by a swap counterparty. In such an event,
the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the swap agreement, but bankruptcy and insolvency laws could affect the Fund’s
rights as a creditor. If the counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of a swap agreement would likely decline, potentially
resulting in losses.
Cleared
Swaps. Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory central
clearing and trading on
execution facilities. The
Dodd-Frank Act and analogous international laws will ultimately require the clearing and trading on execution facilities of many swaps.
To date, the CFTC has designated only certain of the most common credit default index swaps and certain interest rate swaps as subject
to mandatory clearing and certain public execution facilities have made these swaps available to trade, but it is expected that additional
categories of swaps will in the future be designated as subject to mandatory clearing and trade execution requirements.
In
a cleared swap, a Fund’s ultimate counterparty is a central clearinghouse rather than a brokerage firm, bank
or other financial institution. Cleared swaps are submitted for clearing through each party’s FCM, which must be a member of the
clearinghouse that serves as the central counterparty.
When
a Fund enters into a cleared swap, it must deliver to the clearinghouse(via
the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the clearinghouse, and
are typically calculated as an amount based on the volatility in market value of the cleared swap over a fixed period, but an FCM may
require additional initial margin above the amount required by the clearinghouse. During the term of the swap agreement, “variation
margin” may also be required to be paid by the Fund or
may
be received by the Fund. If the value of the Fund’s cleared
swap declines, the Fund will be required to make additional variation margin payments to the FCM to settle the change in value. Conversely,
if the market value of the Fund’s position increases, the FCM will post additional variation margin to the Fund’s account.
At the conclusion of the term of the swap agreement, if the Fund has a loss equal to or greater than the margin amount, the margin amount
is paid to the FCM along with any loss in excess of the margin amount. If the Fund has a loss of less than the margin amount, the excess
margin is returned to the Fund. If the Fund has a gain, the full margin amount and the amount of the gain are paid to the Fund.
Central
clearing is designed to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity compared to uncleared
swaps because central clearing interposes the central clearinghouse as the counterparty to each participant’s swap, but it does
not eliminate those risks completely. There is also a risk of loss by a Fund of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event
of bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM through which the Fund holds an open position, or the clearinghouse in a swap contract. The assets
of a Fund may not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM or clearinghouse because the Fund might be
limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM’s customers. If the
FCM does not provide accurate reporting, a Fund is also subject to the risk that the FCM could use the Fund’s assets
to satisfy its own financial obligations or the payment obligations
of another customer to the clearinghouse. Credit risk of cleared swap participants is concentrated in a few clearinghouses, and the consequences
of insolvency of a clearinghouse are not clear.
With
cleared swaps, a Fund may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as it would be able to negotiate for
a bilateral, uncleared swap. In addition, an FCM may unilaterally amend the terms of its agreement with a Fund, which may include the
imposition of position limits or additional margin requirements with respect to the Fund’s investment in certain types of swaps.
Clearinghouses and FCMs can require termination of existing cleared swap transactions upon the occurrence of certain events, and can also
require increases in margin above the margin that is required at the initiation of the swap agreement.
Finally,
a Fund is subject to the risk that, after entering into a cleared swap with an executing broker, no FCM
or clearinghouse is willing or able to clear the transaction. In such an event, the Fund may be required to break the trade and make an
early termination payment to the executing broker.
Commonly
used swap agreements include:
Credit
Default Swaps (CDS): A CDS is an agreement between two parties
where the first party agrees to make one or more payments to the second party, while the second party assumes the risk of certain defaults,
generally a failure to pay or bankruptcy of the issuer on a referenced debt obligation. CDS transactions are typically individually negotiated
and structured. A Fund may enter into CDS to create long or short exposure to domestic or foreign corporate debt securities or sovereign
debt securities.
A
Fund may buy a CDS (buy credit protection). In this transaction the Fund makes a stream of payments based
on a fixed interest rate (the premium) over the life of the swap in exchange for a counterparty (the seller) taking on the risk of default
of a referenced debt obligation (the Reference Obligation). If a credit event occurs for the Reference Obligation, the Fund would cease
making premium payments and it would deliver defaulted bonds to the seller. In return, the seller would pay the notional value of the
Reference Obligation to the Fund. Alternatively, the two counterparties may agree to cash settlement in which the seller delivers to the
Fund (buyer) the difference between the market value and the notional value of the Reference Obligation. If no event of default occurs,
the Fund pays the fixed premium to the seller for the life of the contract, and no other exchange occurs.
Invesco
Senior Floating Rate Fund will invest no more than 20% of it's total assets in credit default swaps.
Alternatively,
a Fund may sell a CDS (sell credit protection). In this transaction the Fund will receive premium
payments from the buyer in exchange for taking the risk of default of the Reference Obligation. If a credit event occurs for the Reference
Obligation, the buyer would cease to make premium payments to the Fund and deliver the Reference Obligation to the Fund. In return, the
Fund would pay the notional value of the Reference Obligation to the buyer. Alternatively, the two counterparties may agree to cash settlement
in which the Fund would pay the buyer the difference between the market value and the notional value of the
Reference
Obligation. If no event of default occurs, the Fund receives the premium payments over the life of the
contract, and no other exchange occurs.
Credit
Default Index Swaps (CDX): A CDX is a swap on an index of CDS.
A CDX allows an investor to manage credit risk or to take a position on a basket of credit entities (such as CDS or CMBS) in a more efficient
manner than transacting in single name CDS. If a credit event occurs in one of the underlying companies, the protection is paid out via
the delivery of the defaulted bond by the buyer of protection in return for payment of the notional value of the defaulted bond by the
seller of protection or it may be settled through a cash settlement between the two parties. The underlying company is then removed from
the index. New series of CDX are issued on a regular basis. A Commercial Mortgage-Backed Index (CMBX) is a type of CDX made up of 25 tranches
of commercial mortgage-backed securities (See “Debt Instruments — Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities”) rather
than CDS. Unlike other CDX contracts where credit events are intended to capture an event of default, CMBX involves a pay-as-you-go (PAUG)
settlement process designed to capture non-default events that affect the cash flow of the reference obligation. PAUG involves ongoing,
two-way payments over the life of a contract between the buyer and the seller of protection and is designed to closely mirror the cash
flow of a portfolio of cash commercial mortgage-backed securities. A CDX index tranche provides access to customized risk, exposing each
investor to losses at different levels of subordination. The lowest part of the capital structure is called the “equity tranche”
as it has exposure to the first losses experienced in the basket. The mezzanine and senior tranches are higher in the capital structure
but can also be exposed to loss in value. Investments are subject to liquidity risks as well as other risks associated with investments
in credit default swaps.
Foreign
Exchange Swaps: A foreign exchange swap involves an agreement between
two parties to exchange two different currencies on a specific date at a fixed rate, and an agreement for the reverse exchange of those
two currencies at a later date and at a fixed rate. Foreign exchange swaps were exempted from the definition of “swaps”
by the U.S. Treasury and are therefore not subject to many rules under the CEA that apply to swaps, including the mandatory clearing requirement.
They are also not considered “commodity interests” for purposes of CEA Regulations and Exclusions, discussed above. However,
foreign exchange swaps nevertheless remain subject to the CFTC’s trade reporting requirements, enhanced anti-evasion authority,
and strengthened business conduct standards.
Currency
Swaps: A currency swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange
periodic cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential between them. Currency swaps
typically involve the delivery of the entire notional values of the two designated currencies. In such a situation, the full notional
value of a currency swap is subject to the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.
A Fund may also enter into currency swaps on a net basis, which means the two different currency payment streams under the swap agreement
are converted and netted out to a single cash payment in just one of the currencies.
Because
currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning
and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be negatively affected by government exchange controls, blockages,
and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed by governments. These actions could result in losses to a Fund if it is unable to deliver
or receive a specified currency or funds in settlement of obligations, including swap transaction obligations. These actions could also
have an adverse effect on a Fund’s swap transactions or cause a Fund’s hedging positions to be rendered useless, resulting
in full currency exposure as well as incurring unnecessary transaction costs.
Interest
Rate Swaps: An agreement between two parties pursuant to which
the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified principal or notional amount. In other words,
Party A agrees to pay Party B a fixed interest rate multiplied by a notional amount and in return Party B agrees to pay Party A a variable
interest rate multiplied by the same notional amount.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund may not enter into interest rate swaps with respect to more than 25% of
its total assets.
Commodity
Swaps: A commodity swap agreement is a contract in which one party
agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of a commodity-based underlying instrument (such
as a specific commodity or commodity index) in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return
from another commodity-based underlying instrument. In a total return commodity swap, a Fund receives the price appreciation of a commodity
index, a portion of a commodity index or a single commodity in exchange for paying an agreed-upon fee.
Total
Return Swaps: An agreement in which one party makes payments based
on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes
both the income it generates and any capital gains.
Volatility
and Variance Swaps: A volatility swap involves an exchange between
a Fund and a counterparty of periodic payments based on the measured volatility of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest
rate, index or other reference asset over a specified time frame. Depending on the structure of the swap, either the Fund’s or
the counterparty’s payment obligation will typically be based on the realized volatility of the reference asset as measured by
changes in its price or level over a specified time period while the other party’s payment obligation will be based on a specified
rate representing expected volatility for the reference asset at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different
reference asset over a specified time period. The Fund will typically make or lose money on a volatility swap depending on the magnitude
of the reference asset’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over a specified time period, rather than general increases
or decreases in the price of the reference asset. Volatility swaps are often used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the
spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of other investments held by the Fund. Variance
swaps are similar to volatility swaps except payments are based on the difference between the implied and measured volatility mathematically
squared.
Inflation
Swaps: Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party
agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index, over the term of the swap (with some
lag on the referenced inflation index), and the other party pays a compounded fixed rate. Inflation swap agreements may be used to protect
the net asset value of a Fund against an unexpected change in the rate of inflation measured by an inflation index. The value of inflation
swap agreements is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship
between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation.
Swaptions:
An option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption,” is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation,
to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to
receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return
of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended
by one of the counterparties.
Swaptions
are considered to be swaps for purposes of CFTC regulation. Although they are currently traded
OTC, the CFTC may in the future designate certain options on swaps as subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading.
Interest
Rate Locks. An interest rate lock is a hedging agreement in which
the parties lock in an interest rate at a future maturity date. A cash settlement payment on that date that reflects changes in agreed
upon interest rates. This settlement payment is designed to offset changes in the cost of borrowing for the hedged bond transaction. An
interest rate lock may be terminated prior to its stated maturity date by calculating the payment due as of the termination date.
Bundled
Securities. In lieu of investing directly in securities, a Fund
may from time to time invest in Targeted Return Index Securities Trusts (TRAINS) or similar instruments representing a fractional undivided
interest in an underlying pool of securities often referred to as "Bundled Securities". Bundled Securities are typically represented by
certificates and the Funds will be permitted at any time to exchange such certificates for the underlying securities evidenced by such
certificates and thus the certificates are generally subject to
the
same risks as the underlying securities held in the trust. The Fund will examine the characteristics of the underlying
securities for compliance with investment criteria but will determine liquidity with reference to the certificates itself. TRAINS and
other trust certificates are generally not registered under the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act and therefore must be held by qualified purchasers
and resold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. Investments in certain TRAINS or other trust certificates
may have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity to the extent the Fund, at a particular point in time, may be unable to
find qualified institutional buyers interested in purchasing such securities.
Options.
Each Fund may engage in certain strategies involving options to attempt to manage the risk of their investments or in certain circumstances,
for investment purposes (e.g., as a substitute for investing in securities), to speculate on future volatility levels or to decrease the
volatility exposure of other investments held by a Fund.
An
option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right, but not
the obligation, to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option at the exercise price during
the term of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), the security, currency or other
instrument underlying the option (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of certain options, such as an index option and
other cash-settled options). An option on a CDS or a futures contract (described below) gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation,
to enter into a CDS or assume a position in a futures contract. Option transactions present the possibility of large amounts of exposure
(or leverage), which may result in a Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the option.
The
value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the current market value of the underlying investment,
the time remaining until expiration, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the underlying investment, the price
volatility of the underlying investment and general market and interest rate conditions.
Up
to 25% of Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund’s total assets can be subject to call options the Fund sells.
The Fund will not sell put options if more than 25% of the Fund’s total assets would be required to be segregated to cover such
options. The Fund can buy a put or call option only if, after the purchase, the value of all call and put options held by the Fund will
not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
Up
to 25% of the Invesco Discovery Fund’s total assets can be subject to call options the Fund sells. Invesco
Discovery Fund will not sell put options if more than 50% of the Fund’s net assets would be required to be segregated to cover
such options.
A
Fund will not write (sell) options if, immediately after such sale, the aggregate value of securities or obligations
underlying the outstanding options would exceed 20% of the Fund’s total assets. A Fund will not purchase options if, immediately
after such purchase, the aggregate premiums paid for outstanding options would exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
A
Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by entering into an offsetting closing
transaction. For example, a Fund may terminate its obligation under a call or put option that it had written by purchasing an identical
call or put option, which is known as a closing purchase transaction. Conversely, a Fund may terminate a position in a put or call option
it had purchased by writing an identical put or call option, which is known as a closing sale transaction. Closing transactions permit
a Fund to realize profits or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.
Options
may be either listed on an exchange or traded in OTC markets. Listed options are tri-party contracts
(i.e., performance of the obligations of the purchaser and seller are guaranteed by the exchange or clearing corporation) and have standardized
strike prices and expiration dates. OTC options are two-party contracts with negotiated strike prices and expiration dates and differ
from exchange-traded options in that OTC options are transacted with dealers directly and not through a clearing corporation (which guarantees
performance). In the case of OTC options, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option
at any specific time; therefore the Fund may be required to treat some or all OTC options as illiquid investments. Although a Fund will
enter into OTC options only with dealers that are
expected
to be capable of entering into closing transactions with it, there is no assurance that the Fund will in fact
be able to close out an OTC option position at a favorable price prior to exercise or expiration. In the event of insolvency of the dealer,
a Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any time prior to its expiration.
Types
of Options:
Put
Options on Securities. A put option gives the purchaser the right
to sell, to the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration
date of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), regardless of the market price or
exchange rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the
put option, the writer of a put option is obligated to buy the underlying security, contract or foreign currency for the exercise price.
Call
Options on Securities. A call option gives the purchaser the right
to buy, from the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration
of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), regardless of the market price or exchange
rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the call option,
the writer of a call option is obligated to sell to and deliver the underlying security, contract or foreign currency to the purchaser
of the call option for the exercise price.
Index
Options. Index options (or options on securities indices) give
the option buyer the right to receive, upon exercise, a cash settlement amount instead of the securities included in the relevant index,
if the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the
case of a put, the exercise price of the option. The amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index
on the relevant option expiration date and the exercise price of the call or put times a specified multiple (the multiplier), which determines
the total dollar value for each point of such difference.
The
risks of investment in index options may be greater than options on securities,
especially if a Fund writes index call options. Because index options are settled in cash, when a Fund writes a call on an index it cannot
provide in advance for its potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. A Fund can offset some
of the risk of writing an index call option by holding a diversified portfolio of securities similar to those included in the underlying
index. However, the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a portfolio containing exactly the same securities in the index
and, as a result, bears the risk that the value of the securities held will not be perfectly correlated with the value of the index.
CDS
Options. A CDS option transaction gives the buyer the right, but
not the obligation, to enter into a CDS at a specified future date and under specified terms in exchange for paying a market based purchase
price or premium. The writer of the option bears the risk of any unfavorable move in the value of the CDS relative to the market value
on the exercise date, while the purchaser may allow the option to expire unexercised.
Options
on Futures Contracts. Options on futures contracts give the holder
the right to assume a position in a futures contract (to buy the futures contract if the option is a call and to sell the futures contract
if the option is a put) at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.
Option
Techniques:
Writing
Options. A Fund may write options to generate additional income.
As the writer of an option, the Fund may have no control over when the underlying reference asset must be sold (in the case of a call
option) or purchased (in the case of a put option), if the option was structured as an American style option, because the option purchaser
may notify the Fund of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the option. In addition, if the option is cash-settled instead
of deliverable, the Fund is obligated to pay the option purchaser the difference between the exercise price and the value of the underlying
reference asset, instead
of
selling or purchasing the underlying reference asset, if the option is exercised. In general, options are rarely exercised
prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium.
A
Fund would write a put option at an exercise price that, reduced by the premium received on the option, reflects
the price it is willing to pay for the underlying reference asset. In return for the premium received for writing a put option, the Fund
assumes the risk that the price of the underlying reference asset will decline below the exercise price, in which case the put option
may be exercised and the Fund may suffer a loss.
In
return for the premium received for writing a call option on a reference asset, the Fund foregoes the opportunity
for profit from a price increase in the underlying reference asset above the exercise price so long as the option remains open, but retains
the risk of loss should the price of the reference asset decline.
If
an option that a Fund has written expires, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however,
such gain may be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying reference asset, held by the Fund during the option period.
If a call option is exercised, a Fund will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying reference asset, which will be increased
or offset by the premium received. The obligation imposed upon the writer of an option is terminated upon the expiration of the option,
or such earlier time at which a Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option (put or call as the case may be) identical
to that previously sold. However, once a Fund has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order
to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver (for a call) or purchase (for a put) the underlying reference asset at the
exercise price (if deliverable) or pay the difference between the exercise price and the value of the underlying reference asset (if cash-settled).
Purchasing
Options. A Fund may purchase a put option on an underlying reference
asset owned by the Fund in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying reference asset held by the
Fund; may purchase put options on underlying reference assets against which it has written other put options; or may speculate on the
value of an underlying reference asset, index or quantitative measure. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would
reduce any profit realized when the underlying reference asset is delivered upon the exercise of the put option. Conversely, if the underlying
reference asset does not decline in value, the option may expire worthless and the premium paid for the protective put would be lost.
A put option may also be purchased on an investment the Fund does not own.
A
Fund may purchase a call option for the purpose of acquiring the underlying reference asset for its portfolio,
or on underlying reference assets against which it has written other call options. The Fund is not required to own the underlying reference
asset in order to purchase a call option. If the Fund does not own the underlying position, the purchase of a call option would enable
a Fund to acquire the underlying reference asset at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. So long as it holds a
call option, rather than the underlying reference asset itself, the Fund is partially protected from any unexpected increase in the market
price of the underlying reference asset. If the market price does not exceed the exercise price, the Fund could purchase the underlying
reference asset on the open market and could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid
for the option.
Municipal
Market Data Rate Locks. A Municipal Market Data Rate Lock (MMD
Rate Lock) permits a Fund to lock in a specified municipal interest rate for a portion of its portfolio to preserve a return on a particular
investment or a portion of its portfolio as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities
to be purchased at a later date. MMD Rate Locks may be used for hedging purposes. An MMD Rate Lock is an agreement between two parties,
a Fund and an MMD Rate Lock provider, pursuant to which the parties agree to make payments to each other on a notional amount, contingent
upon whether the Municipal Market Data AAA General Obligation Scale is above or below a specified level on the expiration date of the
contract.
MMD
Rate Locks involve the risk that municipal yields will move in the direction opposite than the direction
anticipated by a Fund. The risk of loss with respect to MMD Rate Locks is limited to the amount of payments a Fund is contractually obligated
to make. If the other party to an MMD Rate Lock defaults, a Fund's risk of loss consists of the amount of payments that the Fund contractually
is entitled to receive. If
there
is a default by the counterparty, a Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related
to the transaction, but they could be difficult to enforce.
Straddles/Spreads/Collars.
Spread
and straddle options transactions. In “spread” transactions,
a Fund buys and writes a put or buys and writes a call on the same underlying instrument with the options having different exercise prices,
expiration dates, or both. In “straddles,” a Fund purchases a put option and a call option or writes a put option and a
call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and typically the same exercise price. When a Fund engages in spread
and straddle transactions, it seeks to profit from differences in the option premiums paid and received and in the market prices of the
related options positions when they are closed out or sold. Because these transactions require the Fund to buy and/or write more than
one option simultaneously, the Fund’s ability to enter into such transactions and to liquidate its positions when necessary or
deemed advisable may be more limited than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option. Similarly, costs incurred by the Fund in connection
with these transactions will in many cases be greater than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option.
Option
Collars. A Fund also may use option “collars.” A
“collar” position combines a put option purchased by the Fund (the right of the Fund to sell a specific security within
a specified period) with a call option that is written by the Fund (the right of the counterparty to buy the same security) in a single
instrument. The Fund’s right to sell the security is typically set at a price that is below the counterparty’s right to
buy the security. Thus, the combined position “collars” the performance of the underlying security, providing protection
from depreciation below the price specified in the put option, and allowing for participation in any appreciation up to the price specified
by the call option.
Rights
and Warrants. Rights are equity securities representing a preemptive
right of stockholders to purchase additional shares of a stock at the time of a new issuance, before the stock is offered to the general
public. A stockholder who purchases rights may be able to retain the same ownership percentage after the new stock offering. A right usually
enables the stockholder to purchase common stock at a price below the initial offering price. A Fund that purchases a right takes
the risk that the right might expire worthless because the market value of the common stock falls below the price fixed by the right.
A
warrant gives the holder the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specific price within a certain
time frame and is similar to a call option. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued by the company
that will issue the underlying security, whereas options are not issued by the company. Young, unseasoned companies often issue warrants
to finance their operations.
Invesco
Capital Appreciation Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in rights and warrants, not including
rights and warrants the Fund acquires as part of securities units or that are attached to other securities the Fund buys.
Futures
Contracts.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement to buy or sell a specified
amount of a specified security, currency, commodity, interest rate or index (or deliver a cash settlement price, in the case of certain
futures such as an index future, interest rate future or volatility future) for a specified price at a designated future date, time and
place. A “sale” of a futures contract means the acquisition of a contractual obligation to deliver the underlying instrument
or asset called for by the contract at a specified price on a specified date. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the
acquisition of a contractual obligation to acquire the underlying instrument or asset called for by the contract at a specified price
on a specified date. Futures contracts are generally bought and sold on futures exchanges referred to as designated contract markets and
are held through a broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), that is a member of the designated contract market and its related
clearinghouse. The designated contract market sets the specifications of the relevant futures contract, including the date, time and place
of delivery or settlement of the contract and the quantity of the underlying instrument or asset per contract.
The
Fund will only enter into futures contracts that are traded (either domestically or internationally) on futures
exchanges or certain exempt markets including exempt boards of trade and electronic trading facilities; and are standardized as to maturity
date and underlying instrument or asset. Futures exchanges and trading thereon in the United States are regulated under the CEA by the
CFTC. Foreign futures exchanges or exempt markets and trading thereon are not regulated by the CFTC and may not be subject to the same
regulatory controls. In addition, futures contracts that are traded on non-U.S. exchanges or exempt markets may not be as liquid as those
purchased on CFTC-designated contract markets. For a further discussion of the risks associated with investments in foreign securities,
see “Foreign Investments” above.
Brokerage
fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold, and margin deposits must be maintained
at all times when a futures contract is outstanding. “Margin” for a futures contract is the amount of funds that must be
deposited by a Fund with the applicable FCM in order to initiate trading in the futures contract and maintain its open positions in futures
contract. A margin deposit made when the futures contract is entered (initial margin) is intended to ensure the Fund’s performance
under the futures contract. The initial margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the futures
contract is traded and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange or the FCM during the term of the futures contract.
Subsequent
payments, called “variation margin,” received from or paid to the FCM through which a Fund holds
the futures contract will be made on a daily basis as the futures contract price fluctuates making the futures contract more or less valuable,
a process known as marking-to-market. When the futures contract is closed out, if the Fund has a loss equal to or greater than the margin
amount, the margin amount is paid to the FCM along with any loss in excess of the margin amount. If the Fund has a loss of less than the
margin amount, the excess margin is returned to the Fund. If the Fund has a gain, the full margin amount and the amount of the gain are
paid to the Fund and the FCM pays the Fund any excess gain over the margin amount.
There
is a risk of loss by a Fund of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency of the FCM with which the Fund has an open position in a futures contract. The assets of a Fund may not be fully protected
in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM or clearinghouse because the Fund might be limited to recovering only a pro rata
share of all available funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM’s customers. If the FCM does not provide accurate reporting,
a Fund is also subject to the risk that the FCM could use the Fund’s assets, which are held in an omnibus account with assets belonging
to the FCM’s other customers, to satisfy its own financial obligations or the payment obligations of another customer to the clearinghouse.
Closing
out an open futures contract is effected by entering into an offsetting futures contract for the same aggregate
amount of the identical underlying instrument or asset and the same delivery or settlement date. There can be no assurance, however, that
a Fund will be able to enter into an offsetting contract with respect to a particular futures contract at a particular time. If a Fund
is not able to enter into an offsetting contract, it will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contract.
In
addition, if a Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract or an option on a futures contract position due
to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses. The Fund would continue
to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in the case of purchased options, the Fund would continue
to be required to make daily variation margin payments.
Types
of Futures Contracts:
Bond
Index Futures: Bond index futures are contracts based on the future
value of a basket of fixed-income securities that comprise the index. The seller or buyer of a bond index future is obligated to pay cash
to settle the transaction, based on the fluctuation of the index’s value in response to the changes in the values of the fixed-income
securities that are included in the index over the term of the contract. A bond index cannot be purchased or sold directly.
Commodity
Futures: A commodity futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
to buy or sell a particular commodity at a specified price at some time in the future. Commodity futures contracts are highly volatile;
therefore, the prices of a Fund’s shares may be subject to greater volatility to the extent it invests in commodity futures.
Currency
Futures: A currency futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded
contract to buy or sell a particular currency at a specified price at a future date (commonly three months or more). Currency futures
contracts may be highly volatile and thus result in substantial gains or losses to the Fund.
A
Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of a currency futures contract or, prior
to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. A Fund may also enter into currency
futures contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated
as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount. Closing
transactions with respect to currency futures contracts are usually effected with the counterparty to the original currency futures contract.
Index
Futures: An index futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
that provides for the delivery, at a designated date, time and place, of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the
difference between the index value at the close of trading on the date specified in the contract and the price agreed upon in the futures
contract; no physical delivery of securities comprising the index is made. Index futures can be based on stock, bond or other indices.
Such indices cannot be purchased or sold directly.
Interest
Rate Futures: An interest rate futures contract is an exchange-traded
contract in which the specified underlying security is either an interest-bearing fixed income security or an inter-bank deposit. Two
examples of common interest rate futures contracts are U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures contracts. The specified security
for U.S. Treasury futures is a U.S. Treasury security. The specified security for Eurodollar futures is the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), which is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the
London wholesale money market.
Dividend
Futures: A dividend futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
to purchase or sell an amount equal to the total dividends paid by a selected security, basket of securities or index, over a period of
time for a specified price that is based on the expected dividend payments from the selected security, basket of securities or index.
Security
Futures: A security futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
to purchase or sell, in the future, a specified quantity of a security (other than a Treasury security), or a narrow-based securities
index at a certain price.
Options
on Futures Contracts. Options on futures contracts are similar
to options on securities or currencies except that options on futures contracts give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium
paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put)
at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures contract
position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer’s
futures contract margin account.
Pursuant
to federal securities laws and regulations, the Fund’s use of options on futures contracts may require
the Fund to set aside assets to reduce the risks associated with using options on futures contracts. This process is described in
more detail above in the section “Derivatives.”
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts.
A
forward foreign currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a particular currency in exchange for another
currency, which may be U.S. dollars, at a specified exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are typically individually
negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. A Fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts with respect to a specific purchase or sale of a security, or with respect to its portfolio positions generally.
At
the maturity of a forward foreign currency contract, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified
at the maturity of the contract or, prior to maturity, a Fund may enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an
offsetting contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward foreign currency contracts may or may not be effected with the counterparty
to the original forward contract. A Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical exchange
of the two currencies on the settlement date but instead provide for settlement by a single cash payment calculated as the difference
between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards).
Under
definitions adopted by the CFTC and SEC, non-deliverable forwards are considered swaps, and therefore are included in the definition of
“commodity interests.” Although non-deliverable forwards have historically been traded in the OTC market, as swaps they
may in the future be required to be centrally cleared and traded on public execution facilities. For more information on central clearing
and trading of cleared swaps, see “Swaps” and “Special Regulatory Risks of Derivatives.” Forward foreign currency
contracts that qualify as deliverable forwards are not regulated as swaps for most purposes, and are not included in the definition of
“commodity interests.” However these forwards are subject to some requirements applicable to swaps, including reporting
to swap data repositories, documentation requirements, and business conduct rules applicable to swap dealers. CFTC regulation of forward
foreign currency contracts, especially non-deliverable forwards, may restrict a Fund’s ability to use these instruments in the
manner described above or subject Invesco to CFTC registration and regulation as a CPO.
The
cost to a Fund of engaging in forward foreign currency contracts varies with factors such as the currencies
involved, the length of the contract period, differences in prevailing interest rates in the jurisdictions associated with the two currencies
and the prevailing market conditions. Because forward foreign currency contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no fees
or commissions are typically involved. The use of forward foreign currency contracts for hedging does not eliminate fluctuations in the
prices of the underlying securities a Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does establish a rate of exchange in advance. While forward
foreign currency contract sales limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, they also limit any potential
gain that might result should the value of the currencies increase.
LIBOR
Transition Risk
A
Fund may have investments in financial instruments that utilize
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations (including variable
or floating rate debt securities
or loans and derivatives such as interest rate futures or swaps).
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which
banks
can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on
an unsecured basis. LIBOR was a common benchmark interest rate index used to make adjustments to variable-rate debt instruments, to determine
interest rates for a variety of financial instruments and borrowing arrangements and as reference rate in derivative contracts. A Fund’s
investments may pay interest at variable or floating rates based on LIBOR, may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR or
may otherwise reference LIBOR as a reference rate to determine payment obligations
or financing terms.
In
the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the integrity of LIBOR was increasingly questioned because
several banks contributing to its calculation were accused of rate manipulation and because of a general contraction in the unsecured
interbank lending market. As a result, regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the
past several years to identify alternative reference rates (ARRs) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs.
The industry working group in the United States, the Alternative Reference Rate Committee, has recommended adoption of the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (SOFR) as a replacement for USD LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of overnight borrowing of cash through repurchase
agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.
In
connection with the LIBOR transition, on March 5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator
that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or
would
no longer be representative on January 1, 2022. Specifically, the publication of all settings of British Pound
Sterling, Swiss Franc, Euro and Japanese Yen LIBOR, as well as the 1-week and 2-month settings of U.S. Dollar (USD) LIBOR were phased
out at the end of 2021. The remaining settings of USD LIBOR, which are the most widely used in financial markets, will continue to be
published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly transition away from these rates. Additionally, key regulators have instructed banking
institutions to cease entering into new contracts that reference these remaining USD LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, subject to
certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on a Fund and the instruments in which a Fund
may invest. For example,
there can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which a Fund invests that utilize
ARRs will
be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these instruments will have the same volume or liquidity.
Additionally, although regulators have generally prohibited banking institutions from entering into new contracts that reference those
USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist, there
remains uncertainty
and risks relating to certain “legacy”
USD LIBOR
instruments that were issued or entered into before December
31,
2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will
be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR
is ultimately discontinued. While some
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is
no longer available by providing for an alternative or “fallback” rate-setting methodology, there may be significant uncertainty
regarding the effectiveness of such alternative or “fallback” methodologies to replicate USD LIBOR;
other
“legacy”
USD
LIBOR instruments may not include such “fallback”
rate-setting provisions at all. Certain legislation has been promulgated
that would replace references to USD LIBOR in certain
“legacy” USD LIBOR instruments with a specified
replacement rate, such as SOFR, by operation of law;
however there remains significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness
of any such legislation. As a result, the
ongoing LIBOR transition might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in, or a reduction in the value of,
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments held by a Fund; increased difficulty for
borrowers associated with these instruments to refinance, the proceeds of which are needed to repay a Fund; or diminished effectiveness
of any hedging strategies that a Fund may seek to implement in connection with these instruments. All of the foregoing may adversely affect
a Fund’s performance or NAV.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations
The
ESG considerations described herein may not be used by a Fund and will vary depending on a Fund's
particular investment strategy and in accordance with what a Fund’s investment team deems relevant when making investment decisions.
The ESG considerations described herein may not be applied or evaluated with respect to each issuer or Fund investment. Further, a Fund’s
prospectus may describe additional ESG strategies and risks.
ESG
considerations, either quantitative or qualitative, may be utilized as a component of a Fund's
investment process to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective. ESG factors may be incorporated to evaluate
an issuer, as part of risk analysis, credit analysis or in other manners. ESG factors may vary across types of investments and issuers,
and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. The incorporation of ESG factors may affect a Fund’s exposure to certain
issuers or industries and may not work as intended. A Fund may underperform other funds that do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors
as part of the investment process or that use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. Because ESG considerations
may be used as one part of an overall investment process, a Fund may still invest in securities of issuers that are not considered ESG-focused
or that may be viewed as having a high ESG risk profile. As investors can differ in their views regarding ESG factors, a Fund may invest
in issuers that do not reflect the views with respect to ESG of any particular investor. Information used by a Fund to evaluate such factors,
including information from reliance on third-party research and/or proprietary research, may not be readily available, complete or accurate,
and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic, which could negatively impact a Fund’s
ability to accurately assess an issuer, which could negatively impact a Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee that the evaluation
of ESG considerations will be additive to a Fund’s performance.
Receipt
of Issuer’s Nonpublic Information
The
Adviser or Sub-Advisers (through their portfolio managers, analysts, or other representatives) may receive
material nonpublic information about an issuer that may restrict the ability of the Adviser or Sub-Advisers to cause the Funds to buy
or sell securities of the issuer on behalf of the Funds for substantial periods of time. This may impact the Funds' ability to realize
profit or avoid loss with respect to the issuer and may adversely affect the Funds' flexibility with respect to buying or selling securities,
potentially impacting Fund performance. For example, activist investors of certain issuers in which the Adviser or Sub-Advisers hold large
positions may contact representatives of the Adviser or Sub-Advisers and may disclose material nonpublic information in such communication.
The Adviser or Sub-Advisers would be restricted from trading on the basis of such material nonpublic information, limiting their flexibility
in managing the Funds and possibly impacting Fund performance.
Business
Continuity and Operational Risk
The
Adviser, the Funds and the Funds’ service providers may experience disruptions or operating errors, such
as processing errors or human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, systems or technology failures, or other disruptive
events, that could negatively impact and cause disruptions in normal business operations of the Adviser, the Funds or the Funds’
service providers. The Adviser has developed a Business Continuity Program (the “Program”) designed to minimize the disruption
of normal business operations in the event of an adverse incident affecting the Funds, the Adviser and/or its affiliates. The Program
is also designed to enable the Adviser to reestablish normal business operations in a timely manner during such an adverse incident; however,
there are inherent limitations in such programs (including the possibility that contingencies have not been anticipated and procedures
do not work as intended) and, under some circumstances (e.g. natural disasters, terrorism, public health crises, power or utility shortages
and failures, system failures or malfunctions), the Adviser, its affiliates, and any service providers or vendors used by the Adviser,
its affiliates, or the Fund could be prevented or hindered from providing services to the Funds for extended periods of time. These circumstances
could cause disruptions and negatively impact the Funds’ service providers and the Funds’ business operations, potentially
including an inability to process Fund shareholder transactions, an inability to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and price the
Fund’s investments, and impediments to trading portfolio securities.
Cybersecurity
Risk
With
the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Funds, like all companies, may be susceptible to operational,
information security and related risks. Cybersecurity incidents
involving the Funds and their service providers (including,
without limitation,
a Fund’s investment adviser,
sub-adviser,
fund accountant, custodian, transfer agent and financial intermediaries)
have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, impediments to trading,
the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations
of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or
additional compliance costs.
Cybersecurity
incidents can result from deliberate cyberattacks or unintentional events and may arise from
external or internal sources. Cyberattacks may include infection by malicious software or gaining unauthorized access to digital systems,
networks or devices that are used to service the Funds' operations (e.g., by “hacking” or “phishing”). Cyberattacks
may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites
(i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). These cyberattacks could cause the misappropriation of assets
or personal information, corruption of data or operational disruptions. Geopolitical tensions may, from time to time, increase the scale
and sophistication of deliberate cyberattacks.
Similar
adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity incidents affecting issuers of securities in which
the Funds invest, counterparties with which the Funds engage, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial
market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, other financial institutions and other parties. In addition, substantial
costs may be incurred in order to prevent
any
cybersecurity incidents in the future. Although the Funds’ service providers may have established business
continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that such plans or
systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated and identified
or can be protected against. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
Natural
Disaster/Epidemic Risk
Natural
or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe
weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive
to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates,
credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. Given the increasing interdependence
among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets,
issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. These disruptions could prevent the Funds from executing
advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Funds’ ability to achieve their investment objectives.
Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds.
COVID-19.
The COVID-19
strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity constraints and increased
trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, disruptions
of healthcare systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee
availability, defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts, all of which have disrupted global economic activity
across many industries and may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks, locally or globally and cause general
concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at the macro-level
and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on the Funds' performance.
Fund
Policies
Fundamental
Restrictions. Except as otherwise noted below, each Fund is subject
to the following investment restrictions, which may be changed only by a vote of such Fund’s outstanding shares. Fundamental restrictions
may be changed only by a vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting if the holders of more
than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding
shares.
(1)
The Fund (except for Invesco American Franchise Fund and Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund) is a “diversified company” as
defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund will not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified
company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as such statute, rules and regulations
are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the SEC staff (collectively, the 1940 Act Laws and Interpretations)
or except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order or similar relief (collectively, with the 1940 Act
Laws and Interpretations, the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations, and Exemptions), including as may be necessary to approximate the composition
of Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund’s target index. In complying with this restriction, however, the Fund may purchase securities
of other investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
(2)
The Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations, and Exemptions.
(3)
The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions
involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an
underwriter under the 1933 Act.
(4)
The Fund (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund) will not make investments that will result in the concentration (as that
term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) of its investments in the securities of issuers
primarily engaged in the same industry, except that Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund will concentrate to approximately the same extent that
its underlying index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. This restriction does not limit the Fund’s investments
in (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or (ii) tax-exempt obligations issued
by governments or political subdivisions of governments. In complying with this restriction, the Fund will not consider a bank-issued
guaranty or financial guaranty insurance as a separate security.
Invesco
Global Real Estate Income Fund will concentrate (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and
Exemptions) its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other
real estate related investments. For purposes of the Fund's fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, companies principally
engaged in the real estate industry shall consist of companies (i) that at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable
to ownership, financing, construction, management, or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate, including listed equity
REITs and other real estate operating companies that either own property or make construction or mortgage loans, real estate developers,
companies with substantial real estate holdings and other companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry.
Other real estate related investments may include but are not limited to commercial or residential mortgage backed securities, commercial
property whole loans, and other types of equity and debt securities related to the real estate industry.
Invesco
Senior Floating Rate Fund will concentrate (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions)
its investments in instruments of the group of industries in the financial securities sector.
(5)
The Fund may not purchase real estate or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments.
This restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in real estate
or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
(6)
The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This
restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving futures contracts and options thereon or investing in securities
that are secured by physical commodities.
Invesco
Floating Rate ESG Fund, Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund, Invesco Discovery Fund, Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund, Invesco Short Term Municipal
Fund and Invesco Short Duration High Yield Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities except to the extent permitted by the 1940
Act and any other governing statute, and by the rules thereunder, and by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over the Fund.
(7)
The Fund may not make personal loans or loans of its assets to persons who control or are under common control with the Fund, except to
the extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from, among other
things, purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its assets to broker-dealers or institutional investors,
or investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests.
(8)
The Fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single
open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objectives, policies and restrictions as the
Fund.
(9)
Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities
at the time of investment.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in securities the income from which, in
the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s
state income tax.
For
purposes of the foregoing, “assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. Derivatives
and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities described above for Invesco Short Duration High Yield
Municipal Fund may be counted toward the Fund’s 80% policy.
The
investment restrictions set forth above provide each of the Funds with the ability to operate under new
interpretations of the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC without receiving prior shareholder approval of the change.
Even though each of the Funds has this flexibility, the Board has adopted non-fundamental restrictions for each of the Funds relating
to certain of these restrictions which Invesco and, when applicable, the Sub-Advisers must follow in managing the Funds. Any changes to
these non-fundamental restrictions, which are set forth below, require the approval of the Board.
Explanatory
Note
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to industry concentration above, investments in tax-exempt
municipal securities where the payment of principal and interest for such securities is derived solely from a specific project associated
with an issuer that is not a governmental entity or a political subdivision of a government are subject to a Fund’s industry concentration
policy.
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to physical commodities above, the Fund is currently
permitted to invest in futures, swaps and other instruments on physical commodities and the 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning
commodities or contracts related to commodities. The extent to which the Fund can invest in futures,
swaps and other instruments on physical commodities, and/or commodities
or contracts related to commodities, is set out in the Fund’s prospectus,
this SAI, and as permitted by the Fund’s fundamental restriction.
For
purposes of Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund’s fundamental restriction related to diversification above,
the Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as its target index is diversified. The Fund may become ”non-diversified,”
as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents
of its target index. Shareholder approval will
not be sought if the Fund becomes non-diversified due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one
or more constituents of its target index.
Non-Fundamental
Restrictions. Non-fundamental restrictions may be changed for any
Fund without shareholder approval. The non-fundamental investment restrictions listed below apply to each of the Funds unless otherwise
indicated.
(1)
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, the Funds will not (except for Invesco American Franchise
Fund and Invesco Capital Appreciation Fund) (Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund generally will not, unless permitted by the fundamental restriction),
with respect to 75% of its total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities and securities issued by other investment companies), if, as a result, (i) more
than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10%
of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. The Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies as permitted by the
1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
In
complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund, Invesco Global Real Estate Income
Fund and Invesco Short Duration High Yield Fund (this non-fundamental policy is only in the SAI of these funds) any Fund that invests
in municipal securities will regard each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United
States, each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality, and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a
member as a separate "issuer." When the assets and revenues of an
agency,
authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision and the security is
backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case
of an Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity Bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental
user, then that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another entity guarantees
a security, then to the extent that the value of all securities issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the Fund
exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, the guarantee would be considered a separate security and would be treated as issued by that government
or entity. Securities issued or guaranteed by a bank or subject to financial guaranty insurance are not subject to the limitations set
forth in the preceding sentence.
(2)
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding borrowing money and issuing senior securities, the Fund may borrow money in an
amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings).
(3)
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, the Fund (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Income
Fund) may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry,
or as permitted by Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund’s fundamental restriction. With respect to Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund, in
complying with the fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, with respect to issuers that are not in the industry group
consisting of financial institutions and their holding companies, including commercial banks, thrift institutions, insurance companies
and finance companies, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers whose principal business activities
are in the same industry.
(4)
Notwithstanding the fundamental restriction with regard to engaging in transactions involving futures contracts and options thereon or
investing in securities that are secured by physical commodities, the Fund (except for Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Short
Duration High Yield Municipal Fund) currently may not invest in any security (including futures contracts or options thereon) that is
secured by physical commodities.
The
Funds do not consider currencies or other financial commodities or contracts and financial instruments to be physical commodities (which
include, for example, oil, precious metals and grains). Accordingly, the Funds will interpret the fundamental restriction and the related
non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds, subject to each Fund's investment objectives and general investment policies (as stated
in the Funds' prospectuses and herein), to invest directly in foreign currencies and other financial commodities and to purchase, sell
or enter into commodity futures contracts and options thereon, forward foreign currency contracts, foreign currency options, currency-,
commodity- and financial instrument-related swap agreements, hybrid instruments, interest rate or securities-related or foreign currency-related
hedging instruments or other currency-, commodity- or financial instrument-related derivatives, subject to compliance with any applicable
provisions of the federal securities or commodities laws. The Funds will interpret their fundamental restriction regarding the purchase
and sale of physical commodities and their related non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds to invest in ETFs, registered investment
companies and other pooled investment vehicles that invest in physical and/or financial commodities, subject to the limits described in
the Funds' prospectuses and herein.
(5)
In complying with the fundamental restriction with regard to making loans, the Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total assets and may
lend money to an Invesco Fund, on such terms and conditions as the SEC may require in an exemptive order.
(6)
Notwithstanding the fundamental restriction with regard to investing all assets in an open-end fund, the Fund may not invest all of its
assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with the same fundamental investment objective, policies,
and restrictions as the Fund.
(7)
The Fund (except for Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund) may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment
companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.
(8)
The following apply:
(a)
Invesco American Franchise Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets
in securities of U.S. issuers.
(b)
Invesco Core Plus Bond Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in fixed
income securities.
(c)
Invesco Equity and Income Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in
equity and income securities.
(d)
Invesco Global Real Estate Income Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its
assets in the securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
(e)
Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets (plus
any borrowings for investment purposes) in senior secured floating rate loans made by banks and other lending institutions, senior secured
floating rate debt instruments, and derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
(f)
Invesco Income Advantage U.S. Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets
in securities of U.S. issuers.
(g)
Invesco NASDAQ 100 Index Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets
in securities represented in the NASDAQ 100 Index®.
(h)
Invesco Senior Floating Rate Fund invests, under normal conditions, at least 80% of its assets in Senior
Loans.
(i)
Invesco S&P 500 Index Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in common
stocks of companies included in the S&P 500 Index.
For
purposes of the foregoing, “assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment
purposes. Derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities in a Fund’s 80% policy
described above for a Fund may be counted toward that Fund’s 80% policy. The Fund will provide written notice to its shareholders
prior to any change to this policy, as required by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
It
is the intention of each Fund, unless otherwise indicated, that with respect to the Fund's policies that are a result of application of
law, the Fund will take advantage of the flexibility provided by rules or interpretations of the SEC currently in existence or promulgated
in the future, or changes to such laws.
Portfolio
Turnover
Each
Fund calculates its portfolio turnover rate by dividing the value of the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio
securities for the fiscal period by the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned by the Fund during the fiscal period.
A 100% portfolio turnover rate would occur, for example, if all of the portfolio securities (other than short-term securities) were replaced
once during the fiscal period. Portfolio turnover rates will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. The following Funds
experienced significant variation in portfolio turnover during the two most recently completed fiscal years ended August 31.

The increase in portfolio turnover from 2021 to 2022 for Invesco American Franchise Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund was due
to market conditions.

The decrease in portfolio turnover from 2021 to 2022 for Invesco Income Advantage U.S.
Fund was due to changes in trading strategies and execution.
Policies
and Procedures for Disclosure of Fund Holdings
The
Board has adopted policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds' portfolio holdings
(the Holdings Disclosure Policy). Invesco and the Board may amend the Holdings Disclosure Policy at any time without prior notice. Details
of the Holdings Disclosure Policy and a description of the basis on which employees of Invesco and its affiliates may release information
about portfolio securities in certain contexts are provided below. As used in the Holdings Disclosure Policy and throughout the SAI, the
term “portfolio holdings information” includes information with respect to the portfolio holdings of a Fund, including holdings
that are derivatives and holdings held as short positions. Information generally excluded from “portfolio holdings information”
includes, without limitation, (i) descriptions of allocations among asset classes, regions, countries, industries or sectors; (ii) aggregated
data such as average or median ratios, market capitalization, credit quality or duration; (iii) performance attributions by asset class,
country, industry or sector; (iv) aggregated risk statistics, analysis and simulations, such as stress testing; (v) the characteristics
of the stock and bond components of a Fund’s portfolio holdings and other investment positions; (vi) the volatility characteristics
of a Fund; (vii) information on how various weightings and factors contributed to Fund performance; (viii) various financial characteristics
of a Fund or its underlying portfolio investments; and (ix) other information where, in the reasonable belief of the Funds' Chief Compliance
Officer (or a designee), the release of such information would not present risks of dilution, arbitrage, market timing, insider trading
or other inappropriate trading for the applicable Fund.

Selective
disclosure of portfolio holdings information pursuant to Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Employees of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose non-public
full portfolio holdings information on a selective basis only if Invesco approves the parties to whom disclosure of non-public full portfolio
holdings
information
will be made. Invesco must determine that the proposed selective disclosure will be made for business
purposes of the applicable Fund and is in the best interest of the applicable Fund’s shareholders. In making such determination,
Invesco will address any perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of such Fund and Invesco or its affiliates as part of granting
its approval.
The
Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings information by (1) overseeing
the implementation and enforcement of the Holdings Disclosure Policy and the Invesco Funds’ Code of Ethics by the Chief Compliance
Officer (or his designee) of Invesco and the Invesco Funds and (2) considering reports and recommendations by the Chief Compliance Officer
concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, as amended (the Advisers Act)) that may arise in connection with the Holdings Disclosure Policy. Pursuant to the Holdings
Disclosure Policy, the Board receives reports on the specific types of situations in which Invesco proposes to provide such selective
disclosure and the situations where providing selective disclosure raises perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of the
applicable Fund and Invesco or its affiliates. In any specific situation where Invesco addresses a perceived conflict, Invesco will report
to the Board on the persons to whom such disclosures are to be made and the treatment of any such conflicts before agreeing to provide
selective disclosure.
Invesco
discloses non-public full portfolio holdings information to the following persons in connection with the
day-to-day operations and management of the funds advised by Invesco (the Invesco Funds):
•
Attorneys
and accountants;
•
Securities
lending agents;
•
Lenders
to the Invesco Funds;
•
Rating
and rankings agencies;
•
Persons
assisting in the voting of proxies;
•
Invesco
Funds’ custodians;
•
The
Invesco Funds’ transfer agent(s) (in the event of a redemption in kind);
•
Pricing
services, market makers, or other fund accounting software providers (to determine the price of investments held by an Invesco Fund);
•
Brokers
identified by the Invesco Funds’ portfolio management team who provide execution and research services to the team;
•
Analysts
hired to perform research and analysis for the Invesco Funds’ portfolio management team; and
•
Insurance
companies which receive portfolio holdings information before Invesco posts portfolio holdings information to Invesco's website (to allow
such insurance companies to post portfolio holdings information to their websites at approximately the same time that Invesco posts portfolio
holdings information to Invesco's website).
In
many cases, Invesco will disclose current portfolio holdings information on a daily basis to these persons.
In these situations, Invesco has entered into non-disclosure agreements which provide that the recipient of the portfolio holdings information
will maintain the confidentiality of such portfolio holdings information and will not trade on such information (Non-disclosure Agreements).
Please refer to Appendix B for a list of examples of persons to whom Invesco provides non-public portfolio holdings information on an
ongoing basis.
Invesco
will also disclose non-public portfolio holdings information if such disclosure is required by applicable
laws, rules or regulations, or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over Invesco and its affiliates or the Invesco Funds, and
where there is no other way to transact the Funds' business without disclosure of such portfolio holdings information.
The
Holdings Disclosure Policy provides that the Funds, Invesco or any other party in connection with the disclosure
of portfolio holdings information will not request, receive or accept any compensation (including compensation in the form of the maintenance
of assets in any Fund or other mutual fund or account managed by Invesco or one of its affiliates) for the selective disclosure of portfolio
holdings information.
Disclosure
of certain portfolio holdings information without Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Invesco and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds, the Sub-Advisers and each of their employees may receive or have access
to portfolio holdings information as part of the day to day operations of the Funds.
Employees
of Invesco and its affiliates may express their views orally or in writing on one or more of the Funds' portfolio investments or may state
that a Fund has recently purchased or sold, or continues to own, one or more investments. The investments subject to these views and statements
may be ones that were purchased or sold since the date on which portfolio holdings was made available on the Fund’s website and
therefore may not be reflected on the portfolio holdings information disclosed on the website. Such views and statements may be made to
various persons, including members of the press, shareholders in the applicable Fund, persons considering investing in the applicable
Fund or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such as fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan and their advisers. The nature
and content of the views and statements provided to each of these persons may differ.
Disclosure
of portfolio holdings information to traders. Additionally, employees
of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose one or more of the investments held by a Fund when purchasing and selling investments through
broker-dealers, futures commissions merchants, clearing agencies and other counterparties requesting bids on investments, obtaining price
quotations on investments, or in connection with litigation involving the Funds' portfolio investments. Invesco does not enter into formal
Non-Disclosure Agreements in connection with these situations; however, the Funds would not continue to conduct business with a person
who Invesco believed was misusing the disclosed information.
Disclosure
of portfolio holdings of other Invesco-managed products. Invesco
and its affiliates manage products sponsored by companies other than Invesco, including investment companies, offshore funds, and separate
accounts. In many cases, these other products are managed in a similar fashion to certain Invesco Funds (as defined herein) and thus have
similar portfolio holdings. The sponsors of these other products managed by Invesco and its affiliates may disclose the portfolio holdings
of their products at different times than Invesco discloses portfolio holdings for the Invesco Funds.

Management
Information
The
Trustees have the authority to take all actions that they consider necessary or appropriate in connection
with oversight of the Trust, including, among other things, approving the investment objectives, investment policies and fundamental investment
restrictions for the Funds. The Trust has entered into agreements with various service providers, including the Funds’ investment
advisers, administrator, transfer agent, distributor and custodians, to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Funds. The Trustees are
responsible for selecting these service providers, approving the terms of their contracts with the Funds, and exercising general oversight
of these arrangements on an ongoing basis.
Certain
Trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco and Invesco Ltd., the parent corporation
of Invesco. All of the Trust’s executive officers hold similar offices with some or all of the other Trusts.
Leadership
Structure and the Board of Trustees. The Board is currently composed
of eleven Trustees, including ten Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the
1940 Act (collectively, the Independent Trustees and each, an Independent Trustee). In addition to eight regularly scheduled meetings
per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the
next regular meeting. As discussed below, the Board has established four standing committees – the Audit Committee, the Compliance
Committee, the Governance Committee and the Investments Committee (the Committees), to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
The
Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve in the role of Chair. The Chair’s primary role is to
preside at meetings of the Board and act as a liaison with the Adviser and other service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees
between meetings. The Chair also participates in the preparation of the agenda
for
the meetings of the Board, is active with mutual fund industry organizations, and may perform such other functions
as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties specified pursuant to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust
or By-laws, the designation of Chair does not impose on such Independent Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater
than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the Board generally.
The
Board believes that its leadership structure, including having an Independent Trustee as Chair, allows for
effective communication between the Trustees and management, among the Trustees and among the Independent Trustees. The existing Board
structure, including its Committee structure, provides the Independent Trustees with effective control over Board governance while also
allowing them to receive and benefit from insight from the interested Trustee who is an active officer of the Funds’ investment
adviser. The Board’s leadership structure promotes dialogue and debate, which the Board believes allows for the proper consideration
of matters deemed important to the Funds and their shareholders and results in effective decision-making.
Risk
Oversight. The Board considers risk management issues as part of
its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at its regular meetings and at regular meetings of its Committees. Invesco
prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees
also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board, a Committee or the Senior
Officer.
The
Board also considers liquidity risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities and
oversees the Trust's liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by Invesco personnel that
address liquidity matters. As required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
has approved the Trust's Liquidity Risk Management ("LRM") Program, which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Trust's liquidity
risk, and has appointed the LRM Program Administrator that is responsible for administering the LRM Program. The Board also reviews, no
less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the LRM Program Administrator that addresses, among other items, the operation
of the program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.
The
Audit Committee is apprised by, and discusses with, management its policies on risk assessment and risk
management. Such discussion includes a discussion of the guidelines governing the process by which risks are assessed and managed and
an identification of each Fund’s major financial risk exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee meets regularly with representatives
of Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within Invesco that affect
the Funds. The Audit Committee also oversees the Adviser’s process for valuing the Funds’ portfolio investments and receives
reports from management regarding its process and the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments
as consistent with the valuation
policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
The
Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by Invesco’s compliance group and
meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. The Compliance
Committee has recommended and the Board has adopted compliance policies and procedures for the Funds and for the Funds’ service
providers. The compliance policies and procedures are designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.
The
Governance Committee monitors the composition of the Board and each of its Committees and monitors
the qualifications of the Trustees to ensure adherence to certain governance undertakings applicable to the Funds. In addition, the Governance
Committee oversees an annual self-assessment of the Board and addresses governance risks, including insurance and fidelity bond matters,
for the Trust.
The
Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing
the investment performance of the Invesco Funds. In addition, Invesco’s Chief Investment Officers and the portfolio managers of
the Funds meet regularly with the Investments Committee or its sub-committees to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk,
such as the impact on the Funds of investments in particular types of securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that
a Fund changes a
particular
investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally is
consulted in advance with respect to such change.

meeting of shareholders at which trustees will be elected; and (ii) that the Governance Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall make

and
the candidate, and must submit to the Trust’s Secretary the nomination in writing not later than the close of
business on the later of the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the

and Vandivort (Sub-Committee Chair), Mss. Brown, Hostetler (Chair),

and information regarding the investment personnel and other resources devoted to the management of the Funds and make recommendations

basis, in all registered investment companies overseen by the trustee within the Invesco Funds complex, is set forth in Appendix C.
Compensation
Each
Trustee who is not affiliated with Invesco is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule
that recognizes the fact that such Trustee also serves as a Trustee of other Invesco Funds. Each such Trustee receives a fee, allocated
among the Invesco Funds for which he or she serves as a Trustee that consists of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component.
The Chair of the Board and of each Committee and Sub-Committee receive additional compensation for their services.
Information
regarding compensation paid or accrued for each Trustee of the Trust who was not affiliated with
Invesco during the year ended December 31, 2021 is found in Appendix D.
Retirement
Policy
The
Trustees have adopted a retirement policy that permits each Trustee to serve until December 31 of the
year in which the Trustee turns 75.
Pre-Amendment
Retirement Plan For Trustees
The
Trustees have adopted a Retirement Plan for the Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser. A description
of the pre-amendment Retirement Plan follows. Annual retirement benefits are available from the Funds and/or the other Invesco Funds for
which a Trustee serves (each, a Covered Fund), for each Trustee who is not an employee or officer of the Adviser, who either (a) became
a Trustee prior to December 1, 2008, and who has at least five years of credited service as a Trustee (including service to a predecessor
fund) of a
Covered
Fund, or (b) was a member of the Board of Trustees of a Van Kampen Fund immediately prior to June
1, 2010 (Former Van Kampen Trustee), and has at least one year of credited service as a Trustee of a Covered Fund after June 1, 2010.
For
Trustees other than Former Van Kampen Trustees, effective January 1, 2006, for retirements after December
31, 2005, the retirement benefits will equal 75% of the Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect
to such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred
compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and the Trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional
compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board
committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments
for a number of years equal to the lesser of (i) sixteen years or (ii) the number of such Trustee’s credited years of service.
If a Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s
designated beneficiary for the same length of time that the Trustee would have received the payments based on his or her service or, if
the Trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment. A Trustee must have attained the age of 65 (60 in the event of disability)
to receive any retirement benefit. A Trustee may make an irrevocable election to commence payment of retirement benefits upon retirement
from the Board before age 72; in such a case, the annual retirement benefit is subject to a reduction for early payment.
If
the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes at least 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the retirement
benefit will equal 75% of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to
such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred
compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and such Trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional
compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board
committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments
for 10 years beginning after the later of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s termination of service or attainment of age 72 (or age
60 in the event of disability or immediately in the event of death). If a Former Van Kampen Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount
of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s designated beneficiary or, if the Trustee
has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment.
If
the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes less than 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the
retirement benefit will be payable at the applicable time described in the preceding paragraph, but will be paid in two components successively.
For the period of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the first component
of the annual retirement benefit will equal 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph. Thereafter, for the period
of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the second component of the annual
retirement benefit will equal the excess of (x) 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph, over (y) $68,041
plus an interest factor of 4% per year compounded annually measured from June 1, 2010 through the first day of each year for which payments
under this second component are to be made. In no event, however, will the retirement benefits under the two components be made for a
period of time greater than 10 years. For example, if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 7 years of credited service after June 1,
2010, he or she will receive 7 years of payments under the first component and thereafter 3 years of payments under the second component,
and if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 4 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will receive 4 years of payments
under the first component and thereafter 4 years of payments under the second component.
Amendment
of Retirement Plan and Conversion to Defined Contribution Plan
The
Trustees approved an amendment to the Retirement Plan to convert it to a defined contribution plan for
active Trustees (the Amended Plan). Under the Amended Plan, the benefit amount was amended for each active Trustee to the present value
of the Trustee’s existing retirement plan benefit as of December 31, 2013
(the
Existing Plan Benefit) plus the present value of retirement benefits expected to be earned under the Retirement
Plan through the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee attained age 75 (the Expected Future Benefit and, together with the Existing
Plan Benefit, the Accrued Benefit). On the conversion date, the Covered Funds established bookkeeping accounts in the amount of their
pro rata share of the Accrued Benefit, which is deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the participating Trustees.
Such accounts will be adjusted from time to time to reflect deemed investment earnings and losses. Each Trustee’s Accrued Benefit
is not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the accounts, the participating Trustees have the status of unsecured
creditors of the Covered Funds. Trustees will be paid the adjusted account balance under the Amended Plan in quarterly installments for
the same period as described above.
Deferred
Compensation Agreements
Seven
former Trustees, as well as Messrs. LaCava, Motley, Troccoli
and Vandivort, Mss. Hostetler and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis
(for purposes of this paragraph only, the Deferring Trustees) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement (collectively, the
Compensation Agreements). Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees have the option to elect to defer receipt of
up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Funds, and such amounts are placed into a deferral account and deemed to be invested in
one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees.
Distributions
from these deferral accounts will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over
a period of up to ten (10) years (depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement.
If a Deferring Trustee dies prior to the distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will
be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary. The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts
held in the deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Funds and of each other Invesco Fund
from which they are deferring compensation.
Code
of Ethics
Invesco,
the Trust, Invesco Distributors and certain of the Sub-Advisers each have adopted a Code of Ethics
that applies to all Invesco Fund trustees and officers, and employees of Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, and governs,
among other things, the personal trading activities of all such persons. Certain Sub-Advisers have adopted their own Code of Ethics. Each
Code of Ethics is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by portfolio managers and certain other employees that could
compete with or take advantage of the Fund’s portfolio transactions. Unless specifically noted, to the extent a Sub-Adviser has
adopted its own Code of Ethics, each Sub-Adviser’s Code of Ethics does not materially differ from Invesco’s Code of Ethics
discussed below. The Code of Ethics is intended to address conflicts of interest with the Trust that may arise from personal trading in
the Invesco Funds. Personal trading, including personal trading involving securities that may be purchased or held by an Invesco Fund,
is permitted under the Code of Ethics subject to certain restrictions; however, employees are required to pre-clear security transactions
with the Compliance Officer or a designee and to report transactions on a regular basis.

Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Funds directly, but are fees and expenses,
including management fees of the investment companies in which the Funds invest. As a result, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement may exceed a Fund’s expense limit.
If
applicable, such contractual fee waivers or reductions are set forth in the Fee Table to the Fund’s Prospectus.
Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreements, they will terminate on the expiration dates disclosed above. During their terms,
the fee waiver agreements cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval
of the Board.
The
management fees payable by each Fund, the amounts waived by Invesco and the net fee
paid by each Fund for the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable, ended August 31 are found in Appendix G.

equal to (i) 40% of the monthly compensation that Invesco receives from the Trust, multiplied by (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets
of such Fund as to which such Sub-Adviser shall have provided discretionary investment management services for that month divided by the
net assets of such Fund for that month. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, this fee is reduced to reflect
contractual
or voluntary fee waivers or expense limitations by Invesco, if any, in effect from time to time. In no event
shall the aggregate monthly fees paid to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement exceed 40% of the monthly compensation that
Invesco receives from the Trust pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Trust, as reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary fee
waivers or expense limitations by Invesco, if any.
Invesco

fee (after all applicable waivers) that it receives from the Fund as compensation for the provision of investment advisory services. The
fee paid to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is paid by the Adviser, not by the Fund.
Invesco
and each Sub-Adviser are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
Service
Agreements
Administrative
Services Agreement. Invesco and the Trust have entered into a Master

the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. These services do not include any supervisory function over management or provide
any protection against any possible depreciation of assets.
The
Custodian and sub-custodian are authorized to establish separate accounts in foreign countries and to

Securities
Lending Arrangements
Certain
Funds may participate in a securities lending program pursuant to a securities lending agreement that establishes the terms of the loan,
including collateral requirements. The Funds participating in the securities lending program may lend securities to securities brokers
and other borrowers.
Under
the securities lending program, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) served as a securities lending
agent for certain of the Funds’ most recently completed fiscal year. On September 29, 2021, the Board appointed Invesco to serve
as an affiliated securities lending agent for the Funds under the securities lending program. Invesco served as an affiliated securities
lending agent for the Funds' most recently completed fiscal year, as listed in the table below (as applicable).
To
the extent a Fund utilizes Invesco as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance with
and in reliance upon no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent lender
and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board has approved policies and procedures that govern
a Fund's securities lending activities when utilizing an affiliated securities lending agent, such as Invesco, consistent with the guidance
set forth in the no-action letters.
Invesco
serves as a securities lending agent to other clients in addition to the Funds. There are potential conflicts
of interests involved in the Funds use of Invesco as an affiliated securities lending agent, including but not limited to: (i) Invesco
as securities lending agent may have an incentive to increase or decrease the amount of securities on loan, lend particular securities,
delay or forgo calling securities on loans, or lend securities to less creditworthy borrowers, in order to generate additional fees for
Invesco and its affiliates; and (ii) Invesco as securities lending agent may have an incentive to allocate loans to clients that would
provide more fees to Invesco. Invesco seeks to mitigate these potential conflicts of interest by utilizing a methodology designed to provide
its securities lending clients with equal lending opportunities over time.
For
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the income earned by the
Funds, as well as the fees and/or compensation paid by the Funds (in dollars) pursuant to a securities lending agency/authorization agreement
between the Trust, with respect to the Funds, and BNY Mellon, were as follows:

Further,
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, Invesco provided the following services for the Funds in
connection with affiliated securities lending activities: (i) identify available loan opportunities, (ii) negotiate loan terms; (iii)
enter into loans with prime brokers subject to guidelines or restrictions provided by the Funds; (iv) input loan details into the securities
lending platform; (v) monitor daily reports and data files of loan details to ensure compliance with applicable policies and requirements
or restrictions of the securities lending program; (vi) monitor re-rate surveillance reports; (vii) re-negotiate loan rates and re-allocate
or recall securities where necessary; and (viii) provide quarterly reports to the Securities Lending Governance Committee and to the Board
on information required by Invesco’s policies and procedures for affiliated securities lending.
In
addition, the Advisory Agreement describes administrative services to be rendered by Invesco under such
Advisory Agreement if a Fund engages in securities lending activities, as well as the compensation Invesco may receive for such administrative
services. Services to be provided include, where applicable: (a) overseeing participation in the securities lending program to ensure
compliance with all applicable regulatory and investment guidelines; (b) assisting the securities lending agent or principal in determining
which specific securities are available for loan; (c) monitoring the securities lending agent to ensure that securities loans are effected
in accordance with Invesco’s instructions and with procedures adopted by the Board; (d) preparing appropriate periodic reports
for, and seeking appropriate approvals from, the Board with respect to securities lending activities; (e) responding to securities lending
agent inquiries; and (f) performing such other duties as may be necessary. Invesco also monitors the creditworthiness of the securities
lending agent and borrowers to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Invesco’s risk policies. The Advisory
Agreement authorizes Invesco to receive a separate fee equal to 25% of the net monthly interest or fee income retained or paid to the
Funds for the administrative services that Invesco renders in connection with securities lending. Invesco has contractually agreed, however,
not to charge this fee under the Advisory Agreement and to obtain Board approval prior to charging such a fee in the future.
Portfolio
Managers
Appendix
H contains the following information regarding the portfolio managers identified in each Fund’s prospectus:
•
The
dollar range of the managers’ investments in each Fund.
•
A
description of the managers’ compensation structure.
•
Information
regarding other accounts managed and potential conflicts of interest that might arise from the management of multiple accounts.
BROKERAGE
ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES
The
Sub-Advisers have adopted compliance procedures that cover, among other items, brokerage allocation
and other trading practices. If all or a portion of a Fund’s assets are managed by one or more Sub-Advisers, the decision to buy
and sell securities and broker selection will be made by the Sub-Adviser for the assets it manages. Unless specifically noted, the Sub-Advisers
brokerage allocation procedures do not materially differ from Invesco Advisers, Inc.’s procedures.
As
discussed below, Invesco and the Sub-Advisers, unless prohibited by applicable law, may cause a Fund
to pay a broker-dealer a commission for effecting a transaction that exceeds the amount another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting
the same transaction in recognition of the value of brokerage and research services provided by that broker-dealer. Effective January
3, 2018, under the European Union’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), European Union investment advisers,
including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to certain Invesco Funds as described in such
Funds' prospectuses, must pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their own resources, rather than through client commissions.
Brokerage
Transactions
Placing
trades generally involves acting on portfolio manager instructions to buy or sell a specified amount
of portfolio securities, including selecting one or more broker-dealers, including affiliated and third-party broker-dealers, to execute
the trades, and negotiating commissions and spreads. Various Invesco Ltd. subsidiaries have created a global equity trading desk. The
global equity trading desk has assigned local traders in six primary trading centers to place equity securities trades in their regions.
Invesco Advisers’ Americas desk, located in Atlanta and Toronto, generally places trades of equity securities trading in North
America, Canada and Latin America; the Hong Kong desk of Invesco Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Desk) generally places trades of equity securities
in the Asia-Pacific markets, except Japan and China; the Japan trading desk of Invesco Japan generally places trades of equity securities
in the Japanese markets; the EMEA trading desk of Invesco Asset Management Limited (the EMEA Desk) generally places trades of equity securities
in European, Middle Eastern and African countries; the Australia desk, located in Sydney and Melbourne, for the execution of orders of
equity securities trading in the Australian and New Zealand markets and the Taipei desk, located in Taipei, for the execution of orders
of securities trading in the Chinese market. Invesco, Invesco Canada, Invesco Japan, Invesco Deutschland, Invesco Hong Kong, Invesco Capital
and Invesco Asset Management use the global equity trading desk to place equity trades. Other Sub-Advisers may use the global equity trading
desk in the future. The trading procedures for the global trading desks are similar in all material respects.
References
in the language below to actions by Invesco or a Sub-Adviser making determinations or taking
actions related to equity trading include these entities’ delegation of these determinations/actions to the Americas Desk, the
Hong Kong Desk, and the EMEA Desk. Even when trading is delegated by Invesco or the Sub-Advisers to the various arms of the global equity
trading desk, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers that delegate trading is responsible for oversight of this trading activity.
Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers make decisions to buy and sell securities for each Fund, select broker-dealers
(each, a Broker), effect the Funds' investment portfolio transactions, allocate brokerage fees in such transactions and, where applicable,
negotiate commissions and spreads on transactions. Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration in effecting a
security transaction is to obtain best execution, which Invesco defines as prompt and efficient execution of the transaction at the best
obtainable price with payment of commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs which are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage services
provided by the Broker. While Invesco or the Sub-Advisers seek reasonably competitive commission rates, the Funds may not pay the lowest
commission or spread available. See “Broker Selection” below.
Some
of the securities in which the Funds invest are traded in OTC markets. Portfolio transactions in such
markets may be effected on a principal basis at net prices without commissions, but which include compensation to the Broker in the form
of a mark-up or mark-down, or on an agency basis, which involves the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions to the Broker, including
electronic communication networks. Purchases of underwritten issues, which include initial public offerings and secondary offerings, include
a commission or concession paid by the issuer (not the Funds) to the underwriter. Purchases of money market instruments may be made directly
from issuers without the payment of commissions.
Historically,
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers did not negotiate commission rates on stock markets outside the
United States. In recent years many overseas stock markets have adopted a system of negotiated rates; however, a number of markets maintain
an established schedule of minimum commission rates.
In
some cases, Invesco may decide to place trades on a “blind principal bid” basis, which involves combining
all trades for one or more portfolios into a single basket, and generating a description of the characteristics of the basket for provision
to potential executing brokers. Based on the trade characteristics information provided by Invesco, these brokers submit bids for executing
all of the required trades at a designated time for a specific commission rate. Invesco generally selects the broker with the lowest bid
to execute these trades.
Commissions
The
Funds may engage in certain principal and agency transactions with banks and their affiliates that own
5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an Invesco Fund, provided the conditions of an exemptive order received by the Invesco
Funds from the SEC are met. In addition, a Fund may purchase or sell a security from or to certain other Invesco Funds or other accounts
(and may invest in the Affiliated Money Market Funds) provided the Funds follow procedures adopted by the Boards of the various Invesco
Funds, including the Trust. These inter-fund transactions generally do not generate brokerage commissions but may result in custodial
fees or taxes or other related expenses.
Brokerage
commissions paid by each of the Funds during the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable,
ended August 31 are found in Appendix J.
Broker
Selection
Invesco’s
or the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration in selecting Brokers to execute portfolio transactions for
a Fund is to obtain best execution. In selecting a Broker to execute a portfolio transaction in equity securities for a Fund, Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers consider the full range and quality of a Broker’s services, including the value of research and/or brokerage
services provided (if permitted by applicable law or regulation), execution capability, commission rate, and willingness to commit capital,
anonymity and responsiveness. Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration when selecting a Broker to execute a
portfolio transaction in fixed income securities for a Fund is the Broker’s ability to deliver or sell the relevant fixed income
securities; however, Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will, if permitted by applicable law or regulation, also consider the various factors
listed above. In each case, the determinative factor is not the lowest commission or spread available but whether the transaction represents
the best qualitative execution for the Fund. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will not select Brokers based upon their promotion or sale of
Fund shares.
Unless
prohibited by applicable law, such as MiFID II (described herein), in choosing Brokers to execute portfolio
transactions for the Funds, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may select Brokers that provide brokerage and/or research services (Soft Dollar
Products) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which Invesco and its affiliates have investment discretion. For the avoidance of
doubt, European Union investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to
certain Invesco Funds as described in such Funds’ prospectuses, must pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their
own resources, rather than through client commissions. Therefore, the use of the defined term “Sub-Advisers” throughout
this section shall not be deemed to apply to those Sub-Advisers subject to the MiFID II prohibitions. Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act,
provides that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers, under
certain
circumstances, lawfully may cause an account to pay a higher commission than the lowest available. Under
Section 28(e)(1), Invesco or the Sub-Advisers must make a good faith determination that the commissions paid are “reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided ... viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or [Invesco’s
or the Sub-Advisers’] overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to which [it] exercises investment discretion.”
The services provided by the Broker also must lawfully and appropriately assist Invesco or the Sub-Advisers in the performance of its
investment decision-making responsibilities. Accordingly, a Fund may pay a Broker commissions higher than those available from another
Broker in recognition of the Broker’s provision of Soft Dollar Products to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers.
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers face a potential conflict of interest when they use client trades to obtain Soft
Dollar Products. This conflict exists because Invesco and the Sub-Advisers are able to use the Soft Dollar Products to manage client accounts
without paying cash for the Soft Dollar Products, which reduces Invesco’s or a Sub-Adviser’s expenses to the extent that
Invesco or such Sub-Adviser would have purchased such products had they not been provided by Brokers. Section 28(e) permits Invesco or
the Sub-Advisers to use Soft Dollar Products for the benefit of any account it manages. Certain Invesco-managed accounts (or accounts
managed by the Sub-Advisers) may generate soft dollars used to purchase Soft Dollar Products that ultimately benefit other Invesco-managed
accounts (or Sub-Adviser-managed accounts), effectively cross subsidizing the other Invesco-managed accounts (or the other Sub-Adviser-managed
accounts) that benefit directly from the product. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may not use all of the Soft Dollar Products provided by
Brokers through which a Fund effects securities transactions in connection with managing the Fund whose trades generated the soft dollars
used to purchase such products.
Invesco
presently engages in the following instances of cross-subsidization:
Fixed
income funds normally do not generate soft dollar commissions to pay for Soft Dollar Products. Therefore,
soft dollar commissions used to pay for Soft Dollar Products which are used to manage certain fixed income Invesco Funds are generated
entirely by equity Invesco Funds and other equity client accounts managed by Invesco. In other words, certain fixed income Invesco Funds
are cross-subsidized by the equity Invesco Funds in that the fixed income Invesco Funds receive the benefit of Soft Dollar Products services
for which they do not pay. Similarly, other accounts managed by Invesco or certain of its affiliates may benefit from Soft Dollar Products
services for which they do not pay.
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers attempt to reduce or eliminate the potential conflicts of interest concerning the
use of Soft Dollar Products by directing client trades for Soft Dollar Products only if Invesco or the Sub-Adviser concludes that the
Broker supplying the product is capable of providing best execution.
Certain
Soft Dollar Products may be available directly from a vendor on a hard dollar basis; other Soft Dollar
Products are available only through Brokers in exchange for soft dollars. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser use soft dollars to purchase two
types of Soft Dollar Products:
•
proprietary
research created by the Broker executing the trade, and
•
other
products created by third parties that are supplied to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers through the Broker executing the trade.
Proprietary
research consists primarily of traditional research reports, recommendations and similar materials
produced by the in-house research staffs of broker-dealer firms. This research includes evaluations and recommendations of specific companies
or industry groups, as well as analyses of general economic and market conditions and trends, market data, contacts and other related
information and assistance. Invesco periodically rates the quality of proprietary research produced by various Brokers. Based on the evaluation
of the quality of information that Invesco receives from each Broker, Invesco develops an estimate of each Broker’s share of Invesco
clients’ commission dollars and attempts to direct trades to these firms to meet these estimates.
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers also use soft dollars to acquire products from third parties that are supplied to
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers through Brokers executing the trades or other Brokers who “step in” to a
transaction
and receive a portion of the brokerage commission for the trade. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may from
time to time instruct the executing Broker to allocate or “step out” a portion of a transaction to another Broker. The Broker
to which Invesco or the Sub-Advisers have “stepped out” would then settle and complete the designated portion of the transaction,
and the executing Broker would settle and complete the remaining portion of the transaction that has not been “stepped out.”
Each Broker may receive a commission or brokerage fee with respect to that portion of the transaction that it settles and completes.
Soft
Dollar Products received from Brokers supplement Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ own research (and
the research of certain of its affiliates), and may include the following types of products and services:
•
Database
Services – comprehensive databases containing current and/or historical information on companies and industries and indices. Examples
include historical securities prices, earnings estimates and financial data. These services may include software tools that allow the
user to search the database or to prepare value-added analyses related to the investment process (such as forecasts and models used in
the portfolio management process).
•
Quotation/Trading/News
Systems – products that provide real time market data information, such as pricing of individual securities and information on
current trading, as well as a variety of news services.
•
Economic
Data/Forecasting Tools – various macro economic forecasting tools, such as economic data or currency and political forecasts for
various countries or regions.
•
Quantitative/Technical
Analysis – software tools that assist in quantitative and technical analysis of investment data.
•
Fundamental/Industry
Analysis – industry specific fundamental investment research.
•
Fixed
Income Security Analysis – data and analytical tools that pertain specifically to fixed income securities. These tools assist in
creating financial models, such as cash flow projections and interest rate sensitivity analyses, which are relevant to fixed income securities.
•
Other
Specialized Tools – other specialized products, such as consulting analyses, access to industry experts, and distinct investment
expertise such as forensic accounting or custom built investment-analysis software.
If
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers determine that any service or product has a mixed use (i.e., it also serves functions
that do not assist the investment decision-making or trading process), Invesco or the Sub-Advisers will allocate the costs of such service
or product accordingly in its reasonable discretion. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers will allocate brokerage commissions to Brokers only for
the portion of the service or product that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers determine assists it in the investment decision-making or trading
process and will pay for the remaining value of the product or service in cash.
Outside
research assistance is useful to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers because the Brokers used by Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers tend to provide more in-depth analysis of a broader universe of securities and other matters than Invesco’s
or the Sub-Advisers’ staff follow. In addition, such services provide Invesco or the Sub-Advisers with a diverse perspective on
financial markets. Some Brokers may indicate that the provision of research services is dependent upon the generation of certain specified
levels of commissions and underwriting concessions by Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ clients, including the Funds. However,
the Funds are not under any obligation to deal with any Broker in the execution of transactions in portfolio securities. In some cases,
Soft Dollar Products are available only from the Broker providing them. In other cases, Soft Dollar Products may be obtainable from alternative
sources in return for cash payments. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that because Broker research supplements rather than replaces
Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ research, the receipt of such research tends to improve the quality of Invesco’s or
the Sub-Advisers’ investment advice. The advisory fee paid by the Funds is not reduced because Invesco or the Sub-Advisers receive
such services. To the extent the Funds' portfolio transactions are used to obtain Soft Dollar Products, the brokerage commissions obtained
by the Funds might exceed those that might otherwise have been paid.
Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers may determine target levels of brokerage business with various Brokers on behalf
of its clients (including the Funds) over a certain time period. Invesco determines target levels based upon the following factors, among
others: (1) the execution services provided by the Broker; and (2) the research services provided by the Broker. Portfolio transactions
may be effected through Brokers that recommend the Funds to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of a Fund’s shares
for their clients, provided that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers believe such Brokers provide best execution and such transactions are executed
in compliance with Invesco’s policy against using directed brokerage to compensate Brokers for promoting or selling Invesco Fund
shares. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will not enter into a binding commitment with Brokers to place trades with such Brokers involving
brokerage commissions in precise amounts.
As
noted above, under MiFID II, European Union investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco
Asset Management, are not permitted to use Soft Dollar Products to pay for research from brokers but rather must pay for research out
of their own profit and loss or have research costs paid by clients through research payment accounts that are funded by a specific client
research charge or the research component of trade orders. Such payments for research must be unbundled from the payments for execution.
As a result, Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management are restricted from using Soft Dollar Products in managing the Invesco Funds
that they sub-advise.
Directed
Brokerage (Research Services)
Directed
brokerage (research services) commissions paid by each of the Funds during the fiscal year or period,
as applicable, ended August 31 is found in Appendix K.
Affiliated
Transactions
The
Adviser or Sub-Adviser may place trades with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. (ICMI), a broker-dealer with
whom it is affiliated, provided the Adviser or Sub-Adviser determines that ICMI’s trade execution abilities and costs are at least
comparable to those of non-affiliated brokerage firms with which the Adviser or Sub-Adviser could otherwise place similar trades. ICMI
receives brokerage commissions in connection with effecting trades for the Funds and, therefore, use of ICMI presents a conflict of interest
for the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. Trades placed through ICMI, including the brokerage commissions paid to ICMI, are subject to procedures
adopted by the Board.
Information
regarding any brokerage commissions on affiliated transactions that the Funds may have paid for
the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable, ended August 31 may be found in Appendix J.
Regular
Brokers
Information
concerning the Funds' acquisition of securities of their brokers during the last fiscal
year or period, as applicable, ended August 31 is found in Appendix K.
Allocation
of Portfolio Transactions
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers manage numerous Invesco Funds and other accounts. Some of these accounts
may have investment objectives similar to the Funds. Occasionally, identical securities will be appropriate for investment by multiple
Invesco Funds or other accounts. However, the position of each account in the same security and the length of time that each account may
hold its investment in the same security may vary. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will also determine the timing and amount of purchases
for an account based on its cash position. If the purchase or sale of securities is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund(s)
and one or more other accounts, and is considered at or about the same time, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate transactions in
such securities among the Fund(s) and these accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size or in such other manner believed by Invesco
to be fair and equitable. In determining what is fair and equitable, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser can consider various factors, including
how closely the investment opportunity matches the investment objective and strategy of a Fund or account, the capital available to a
Fund or account, and which portfolio management team sourced the opportunity. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may combine transactions in accordance
with applicable laws and regulations to
obtain
the most favorable execution. Simultaneous transactions could, however, adversely affect a Fund’s ability
to obtain or dispose of the full amount of a security which it seeks to purchase or sell.
Allocation
of Initial Public Offering (IPO) Transactions
Certain
of the Invesco Funds or other accounts managed by Invesco may become interested in participating
in IPOs. Purchases of IPOs by one Invesco Fund or other accounts may also be considered for purchase by one or more other Invesco Funds
or accounts. Invesco combines indications of interest for IPOs for all Invesco Funds and accounts participating in purchase transactions
for that IPO. When the full amount of all IPO orders for such Invesco Funds and accounts cannot be filled completely, Invesco shall allocate
such transactions in accordance with the following procedures.
Invesco
or the Sub-Adviser may determine the eligibility of each Invesco Fund and account that seeks to participate
in a particular IPO by reviewing a number of factors, including market capitalization/liquidity suitability and sector/style suitability
of the investment with the Invesco Fund’s or account’s investment objective, policies, strategies and current holdings.
Invesco will allocate securities issued in IPOs to eligible Invesco Funds and accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size.
Invesco
Canada, Invesco Hong Kong and Invesco Japan allocate IPOs on a pro rata basis based on size of
order or in such other manner which they believe is fair and equitable.
Invesco
Asset Management allocates IPOs on a pro rata basis based on account size or in such other manner
believed by Invesco Asset Management to be fair and equitable.
Invesco
Deutschland and Invesco Senior Secured do not subscribe to IPOs.
PURCHASE,
REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES
Please
refer to Appendix L for information on Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares.
DIVIDENDS,
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS
Dividends
and Distributions
The
following discussion of dividends and distributions should be read in connection with the applicable sections
in the Prospectus.
All
dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of a Fund
unless the shareholder has requested in writing to receive such dividends and distributions in cash or that they be invested in shares
of another Invesco Fund, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Purchasing Shares -
Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment.” Such dividends and distributions will be reinvested at the net asset value per
share determined on the ex-dividend date.
The
Fund calculates income dividends and capital gain distributions the same way for each class. The amount
of any income dividends per share will differ, however, generally due to any differences in the distribution and service (Rule 12b-1)
fees applicable to the classes, as well as any other expenses attributable to a particular class (Class Expenses). Class Expenses, including
distribution plan expenses, must be allocated to the class for which they are incurred consistent with applicable legal principles under
the 1940 Act.
Tax
Matters
The
following is a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders
that are not described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its
shareholders, and the discussion here and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This
“Tax Matters” section is based on the Code and applicable regulations in effect on the date of this SAI.
Future legislative, regulatory or administrative changes, including provisions of current law that sunset and thereafter no longer apply,
or court decisions may significantly change the tax rules applicable to the Fund and its shareholders. Any of these changes or court decisions
may have a retroactive effect.
This
is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisors
as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Taxation
of the Fund. The Fund has elected and intends to qualify (or, if
newly organized, intends to elect and qualify) each year as a “regulated investment company” (sometimes referred to as a
regulated investment company, RIC or fund) under Subchapter M of the Code. If the Fund qualifies, the Fund will not be subject to federal
income tax on the portion of its investment company taxable income (i.e., generally, taxable interest, dividends, net short-term capital
gains and other taxable ordinary income net of expenses without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gain (i.e.,
the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it distributes to shareholders.
Qualification
as a regulated investment company. In order to qualify for treatment
as a regulated investment company, the Fund must satisfy the following requirements:
•
Distribution
Requirement – the Fund must distribute 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 close of its tax year are
considered distributions attributable to the previous tax year for purposes of satisfying this requirement).
•
Income
Requirement – the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to
securities loans, and gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including,
but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived from its business of investing in such stock, securities
or currencies and net income derived from qualified publicly traded partnerships (QPTPs).
•
Asset
Diversification Test – the Fund must satisfy the following asset diversification test at the close of each quarter of the Fund’s
tax year: (1) at least 50% of the value of the Fund’s assets must consist of cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities
of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to which the Fund has not invested more than 5% of the value
of the Fund’s total assets in securities of an issuer and as to which the Fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting
securities of the issuer); and (2) no more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of
any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities or securities of other regulated investment companies) or of two or more issuers
which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or, collectively, in the securities of QPTPs.
In
some circumstances, the character and timing of income realized by the Fund for purposes of the Income
Requirement or the identification of the issuer for purposes of the Asset Diversification Test is uncertain under current law with respect
to a particular investment, and an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to such type of investment may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to satisfy these requirements. See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions” with respect
to the application of these requirements to certain types of investments. In other circumstances, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio
holdings in order to meet the Income Requirement, Distribution Requirement, or Asset Diversification Test, which may have a negative impact
on the Fund’s income and performance. In lieu of potential disqualification, the Fund is permitted to pay a tax for certain failures
to satisfy the Asset Diversification Test or Income Requirement, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not
willful neglect.
The
Fund may use “equalization accounting” (in lieu of making some cash distributions) in determining the
portion of its income and gains that has been distributed. If the Fund uses equalization accounting, it will allocate a portion of its
undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gain to redemptions of Fund shares and will correspondingly reduce the
amount of such income and gains that it distributes in cash. However, the Fund intends to make cash distributions for each taxable year
in an aggregate amount
that
is sufficient to satisfy the Distribution Requirement without taking into account its use of equalization accounting.
If the IRS determines that the Fund’s allocation is improper and that the Fund has under-distributed its income and gain for any
taxable year, the Fund may be liable for federal income and/or excise tax.
If
for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company, all of its taxable income
(including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at the corporate income tax rate without any deduction for dividends paid to
shareholders, and the dividends would be taxable to the shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to
the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Failure to qualify as a regulated investment company thus
would have a negative impact on the Fund’s income and performance. Subject to savings provisions for certain inadvertent failures
to satisfy the Income Requirement or Asset Diversification Test which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not
willful neglect, it is possible that the Fund will not qualify as a regulated investment company in any given tax year. Even if such savings
provisions apply, the Fund may be subject to a monetary sanction of $50,000 or more. Moreover, the Board reserves the right not to maintain
the qualification of the Fund as a regulated investment company if it determines such a course of action to be beneficial to shareholders.
Portfolio
turnover. For investors that hold their Fund shares in a taxable
account, a high portfolio turnover rate (except in a money market fund that maintains a stable net asset value) may result in higher taxes.
This is because a fund with a high turnover rate may accelerate the recognition of capital gains and more of such gains are likely to
be taxable as short-term rather than long-term capital gains in contrast to a comparable fund with a low turnover rate. Any such higher
taxes would reduce the Fund’s after-tax performance. See “Taxation of Fund Distributions — Capital gain dividends”
below. For non-U.S. investors, any such acceleration of the recognition of capital gains that results in more short-term and less long-term
capital gains being recognized by the Fund may cause such investors to be subject to increased U.S. withholding taxes. See “Foreign
Shareholders — U.S. withholding tax at the source” below.
Capital
loss carryovers. The capital losses of the Fund, if any, do not
flow through to shareholders. Rather, the Fund may use its capital losses, subject to applicable limitations, to offset its capital gains
without being required to pay taxes on or distribute to shareholders such gains that are offset by the losses. If the Fund has a “net
capital loss” (that is, capital losses in excess of capital gains), the excess (if any) of the Fund’s net short-term capital
losses over its net long-term capital gains is treated as a short-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund’s next
taxable year, and the excess (if any) of the Fund’s net long-term capital losses over its net short-term capital gains is treated
as a long-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. Any such net capital losses of the Fund that
are not used to offset capital gains may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce any future capital gains realized by the Fund in succeeding
taxable years. The amount of capital losses that can be carried forward and used in any single year is subject to an annual limitation
if there is a more than 50% “change in ownership” of the Fund. An ownership change generally results when shareholders owning
5% or more of the Fund increase their aggregate holdings by more than 50% over a three-year look-back period. An ownership change could
result in capital loss carryovers being used at a slower rate thereby reducing the Fund’s ability to offset capital gains with
those losses. An increase in the amount of taxable gains distributed to the Fund’s shareholders could result from an ownership
change. The Fund undertakes no obligation to avoid or prevent an ownership change, which can occur in the normal course of shareholder
purchases and redemptions or as a result of engaging in a tax-free reorganization with another fund. Moreover, because of circumstances
beyond the Fund’s control, there can be no assurance that the Fund will not experience, or has not already experienced, an ownership
change.
Deferral
of late year losses. The Fund may elect to treat part or all of
any “qualified late year loss” as if it had been incurred in the succeeding taxable year in determining the Fund’s
taxable income, net capital gain, net short-term capital gain, and earnings and profits. The effect of this election is to treat any such
“qualified late year loss” as if it had been incurred in the succeeding taxable year, which may change the timing, amount,
or characterization of Fund distributions (see “Taxation of Fund Distributions — Capital gain dividends” below).
A “qualified late year loss” includes:
(i)
any net capital loss incurred after October 31 of the current taxable year, or, if there is no such loss,
any net long-term capital loss or any net short-term capital loss incurred after October 31 of the current taxable year (post-October
capital losses); and
(ii)
the sum of (1) the excess, if any, of (a) specified losses incurred after October 31 of the current taxable
year, over (b) specified gains incurred after October 31 of the current taxable year and (2) the excess, if any, of (a) ordinary losses
incurred after December 31 of the current taxable year, over (b) the ordinary income incurred after December 31 of the current taxable
year.
The
terms “specified losses” and “specified gains” mean ordinary losses and gains from the sale, exchange,
or other disposition of property (including the termination of a position with respect to such property), foreign currency losses and
gains, and losses and gains resulting from holding stock in a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for which a mark-to-market election
is in effect. The terms “ordinary losses” and “ordinary income” mean other ordinary losses and income that
are not described in the preceding sentence.
Special
rules apply to a fund with a fiscal year ending in November or December that elects to use its taxable
year for determining its capital gain net income for excise tax purposes.
Undistributed
capital gains. The Fund may retain or distribute to shareholders
its net capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute net capital gains. If the Fund elects to retain its
net capital gain, the Fund will be taxed thereon (except to the extent of any available capital loss carryovers) at the corporate income
tax rate. If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, it is expected that the Fund also will elect to have shareholders treated
as if each received a distribution of its pro rata share of such gain, with the result that each shareholder will be required to report
its pro rata share of such gain on its tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for its pro rata share
of tax paid by the Fund on the gain and will increase the tax basis for its shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less
the tax credit.
Asset
allocation funds. If the Fund is a fund of funds, asset allocation
fund, or a feeder fund in a master-feeder structure (collectively referred to as a “fund of funds” which invests in one
or more underlying funds taxable as regulated investment companies) distributions by the underlying funds, redemptions of shares in the
underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions to shareholders of ordinary income or capital gains.
A fund of funds (other than a feeder fund in a master-feeder structure) generally will not be able currently to offset gains realized
by one underlying fund in which the fund of funds invests against losses realized by another underlying fund. If shares of an underlying
fund are purchased within 30 days before or after redeeming at a loss other shares of that underlying fund (whether pursuant to a rebalancing
of the Fund’s portfolio or otherwise), all or a part of the loss will not be deductible by the Fund and instead will increase its
basis for the newly purchased shares. Also, except with respect to a qualified fund of funds, a fund of funds (a) is not eligible to pass-through
to shareholders foreign tax credits from an underlying fund that pays foreign income taxes and (b) is not eligible to pass-through to
shareholders exempt-interest dividends from an underlying fund. A qualified fund of funds, i.e., a fund at least 50 percent of the value
of the total assets of which (at the close of each quarter of the taxable year) is represented by interests in other RICs, is eligible
to pass-through to shareholders (a) foreign tax credits and (b) exempt-interest dividends. Also a fund of funds, whether or not it is
a qualified fund of funds, is eligible to pass-through to shareholders qualified dividends earned by an underlying fund (see “Taxation
of Fund Distributions — Qualified dividend income for individuals” and “— Corporate dividends-received
deduction” below). However, dividends paid to shareholders by a fund of funds from interest earned by an underlying fund on U.S.
government obligations are unlikely to be exempt from state and local income tax.
Federal
excise tax. To avoid a 4% non-deductible excise tax, the Fund must
distribute by December 31 of each year an amount equal to at least: (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year, (2) 98.2% of
capital gain net income (the excess of the gains from sales or exchanges of capital assets over the losses from such sales or exchanges)
for the one-year period ended on October 31 of such calendar year (or, at the election of a regulated investment company having a taxable
year ending November 30 or December 31, for its taxable year), and (3) any prior year undistributed ordinary income and capital gain net
income. The Fund
may
elect to defer to the following year any net ordinary loss incurred for the portion of the calendar year which
is after the beginning of the Fund’s taxable year. Also, the Fund will defer any “specified gain” or “specified
loss” which would be properly taken into account for the portion of the calendar after October 31. Any net ordinary loss, specified
gain, or specified loss deferred shall be treated as arising on January 1 of the following calendar year. Generally, the Fund may make
sufficient distributions to avoid liability for federal income and excise tax, but can give no assurances that all or a portion of such
liability will be avoided. In addition, under certain circumstances temporary timing or permanent differences in the realization of income
and expense for book and tax purposes can result in the Fund having to pay an excise tax.
Foreign
income tax. Investment income received by the Fund from sources
within foreign countries may be subject to foreign income tax withheld at the source, and the amount of tax withheld generally will be
treated as an expense of the Fund. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that entitle the Fund to
a reduced rate of, or exemption from, tax on such income. Some countries require the filing of a tax reclaim or other forms to receive
the benefit of the reduced tax rate; whether or when the Fund will receive the tax reclaim is within the control of the individual country.
Information required on these forms may not be available such as shareholder information; therefore, the Fund may not receive the reduced
treaty rates or potential reclaims. Other countries have conflicting and changing instructions and restrictive timing requirements which
may cause the Fund not to receive the reduced treaty rates or potential reclaims. Other countries may subject capital gains realized by
the Fund on sale or disposition of securities of that country to taxation. These and other factors may make it difficult for the Fund
to determine in advance the effective rate of tax on its investments in certain countries. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may elect
to pass-through certain eligible foreign income taxes paid by the Fund to shareholders, although it reserves the right not to do so. If
the Fund makes such an election and obtains a refund of foreign taxes paid by the Fund in a prior year, the Fund may be eligible to reduce
the amount of foreign taxes reported by the Fund to its shareholders, generally by the amount of the foreign taxes refunded, for the year
in which the refund is received. Certain foreign taxes imposed on the Fund's investments, such as a foreign financial transaction tax,
may not be creditable against U.S. income tax liability or eligible for pass through by the Fund to its shareholders.
As
a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union, the Fund may have filed
additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries ("EU reclaims"). For U.S. income tax purposes,
EU reclaims plus interest received by the Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax deductions
or credits on their income tax returns, if any. Any interest received that offsets such foreign taxes is required to be reported to the
shareholder as additional dividend income from the Fund and included in the shareholder's gross income. In the event that EU reclaims
received by the Fund during a fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid by the Fund, and the Fund previously passed through to
its shareholders foreign taxes incurred by the Fund to be used as a credit or deduction on a shareholder's income tax return, the Fund
will enter into a closing agreement with the IRS in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the Fund's shareholders.
Taxation
of Fund Distributions (All Funds). The Fund anticipates distributing
substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain for each taxable year. Distributions by the Fund will
be treated in the manner described below, regardless of whether such distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares
of the Fund (or of another Fund). The Fund will send you information annually as to the federal income tax consequences of distributions
made (or deemed made) during the year.
Distributions
of ordinary income. The Fund receives income generally in the form
of dividends and/or interest on its investments. The Fund may also recognize ordinary income from other sources, including, but not limited
to, certain gains on foreign currency-related transactions. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund, constitutes
the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions
of net investment income generally are taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits. In the case
of a Fund whose strategy includes investing in stocks of corporations, a portion of the income dividends paid to you may be qualified
dividends eligible to be taxed at reduced rates.
Capital
gain dividends. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined
by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her shares. In general,
the Fund will recognize long-term capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of assets it has owned for more than one year,
and short-term capital gain or loss on investments it has owned for one year or less. Distributions of net capital gain (the excess of
net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) that are properly reported by the Fund to shareholders as capital gain dividends
generally will be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as long-term capital gain. Long-term capital gain rates applicable
to individuals are 0%, 15%, 20% or 25% depending on the nature of the capital gain and the individual’s taxable income.
Distributions of net short-term capital gains for a taxable year in excess of net long-term capital losses for such taxable year generally
will be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as ordinary income.
Qualified
dividend income for individuals. Ordinary income dividends reported
by the Fund to shareholders as derived from qualified dividend income will be taxed in the hands of individuals and other noncorporate
shareholders at the rates applicable to long-term capital gain. Qualified dividend income means dividends paid to the Fund (a) by domestic
corporations, (b) by foreign corporations that are either (i) incorporated in a possession of the United States, or (ii) are eligible
for benefits under certain income tax treaties with the United States that include an exchange of information program, or (c) with respect
to stock of a foreign corporation that is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Both the Fund and
the investor must meet certain holding period requirements to qualify Fund dividends for this treatment. Income derived from investments
in derivatives, fixed-income securities, U.S. REITs, PFICs, and income received “in lieu of” dividends in a securities lending
transaction generally is not eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income. If the qualifying dividend income received by the Fund
is equal to 95% (or a greater percentage) of the Fund’s gross income (exclusive of net capital gain) in any taxable year, all of
the ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund will be qualifying dividend income.
Qualified
REIT dividends. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified
REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified
dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. This deduction, if allowed in full, equates to
a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income after 20% deduction). A Fund may choose to report the special character
of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements
with respect to their shares. A noncorporate shareholder receiving such dividends would treat them as eligible for the 20% deduction,
provided the RIC shares were held by the shareholder for more than 45 days during the 91-day period beginning on the date that is 45 days
before the date on which the shares become ex-dividend with respect to such dividend. The amount of a RIC’s dividends eligible
for the 20% deduction for a taxable year is limited to the excess of the RIC’s qualified REIT dividends for the taxable year over
allocable expenses.
Corporate
dividends-received deduction. Ordinary income dividends reported
by the Fund to shareholders as derived from qualified dividends from domestic corporations will qualify for the 50% dividends-received
deduction generally available to corporations. The availability of the dividends-received deduction is subject to certain holding period
and debt financing restrictions imposed under the Code on the corporation claiming the deduction. Income derived by the Fund from investments
in derivatives, fixed-income and foreign securities generally is not eligible for this treatment.
Return
of capital distributions. Distributions by the Fund that are not
paid from earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in reduction of) the shareholder’s
tax basis in his shares; any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares. Thus, the portion of a distribution that constitutes
a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his Fund shares (but not below zero), and will result in an increase
in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale
of such Fund shares. Return of capital distributions can occur for a number of reasons including, among others, the Fund over-estimates
the income to be received from certain investments such as those classified as partnerships or equity REITs. See “Tax
Treatment of Portfolio Transactions – Investments in U.S. REITs”.
Impact
of realized but undistributed income and gains, and net unrealized appreciation of portfolio securities.
At the time of your purchase of shares (except in a money market fund that maintains a stable net asset value), the Fund’s net
asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation of portfolio securities held
by the Fund. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable and
would be taxed as either ordinary income (some portion of which may be taxed as qualified dividend income) or capital gain unless you
are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. The Fund may be able to
reduce the amount of such distributions by utilizing its capital loss carryovers, if any.
Pass-through
of foreign tax credits. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s
total assets at the end of a fiscal year is invested in foreign securities, or if the Fund is a qualified fund of funds (i.e., a fund
at least 50 percent of the value of the total assets of which, at the close of each quarter of the taxable year, is represented by interests
in other RICs), the Fund may elect to “pass-through” to the Fund’s shareholders the amount of foreign income tax
paid by the Fund (the Foreign Tax Election) in lieu of deducting such amount in determining its investment company taxable income. Pursuant
to the Foreign Tax Election, shareholders will be required (i) to include in gross income, even though not actually received, their respective
pro-rata shares of the foreign income tax paid by the Fund that are attributable to any distributions they receive; and (ii) either to
deduct their pro-rata share of foreign tax in computing their taxable income or to use it (subject to various Code limitations) as a foreign
tax credit against federal income tax (but not both). No deduction for foreign tax may be claimed by a noncorporate shareholder who does
not itemize deductions or who is subject to the alternative minimum tax. Shareholders may be unable to claim a credit for the full amount
of their proportionate shares of the foreign income tax paid by the Fund due to certain limitations that may apply. The Fund reserves
the right not to pass-through to its shareholders the amount of foreign income taxes paid by the Fund. Additionally, any foreign tax withheld
on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits to shareholders.
See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Securities lending” below.
Tax
credit bonds. If the Fund holds, directly or indirectly, one or
more “tax credit bonds” (including build America bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and qualified tax credit bonds) on
one or more applicable dates during a taxable year, the Fund may elect to permit its shareholders to claim a tax credit on their income
tax returns equal to each shareholder’s proportionate share of tax credits from the applicable bonds that otherwise would be allowed
to the Fund. In such a case, shareholders must include in gross income (as interest) their proportionate share of the income attributable
to their proportionate share of those offsetting tax credits. A shareholder’s ability to claim a tax credit associated with one
or more tax credit bonds may be subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. (Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, build America bonds,
clean renewable energy bonds and certain other qualified bonds may no longer be issued after December 31, 2017.) Even if the Fund is eligible
to pass-through tax credits to shareholders, the Fund may choose not to do so.
U.S.
government interest. Income
earned on certain U.S. government obligations is exempt from state and local personal income taxes if earned directly by you. States also
grant tax-free status to dividends paid to you from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. government, subject in some states
to minimum investment or reporting requirements that must be met by the Fund. Income on investments by the Fund in certain other obligations,
such as repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government obligations, commercial paper and federal agency-backed obligations (e.g.,
GNMA or FNMA obligations), generally does not qualify for tax-free treatment. The rules on exclusion of this income are different for
corporations. If the Fund is a fund of funds, see “Taxation of the Fund — Asset allocation funds.”
Dividends
declared in December and paid in January. Ordinarily, shareholders
are required to take distributions by the Fund into account in the year in which the distributions are made. However, dividends declared
in October, November or December of any year and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month will be deemed
to have been received by the shareholders (and made by the Fund) on December 31 of such calendar year if such dividends are actually paid
in January of the following
year.
Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of distributions made
(or deemed made) during the year in accordance with the guidance that has been provided by the IRS.
Medicare
tax. A 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on net investment income earned
by certain individuals, estates and trusts. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income, including
ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions
of Fund shares, reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such income. In the case of an individual, the tax will be imposed
on the lesser of (1) the shareholder’s net investment income or (2) the amount by which the shareholder’s modified adjusted
gross income exceeds $250,000 (if the shareholder is married and filing jointly or a surviving spouse), $125,000 (if the shareholder is
married and filing separately) or $200,000 (in any other case). This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you on, and paid
with, your federal income tax return. Net investment income does not include exempt-interest dividends.
Taxation
of Fund Distributions (Invesco Short Duration High Yield Municipal Fund and Invesco Short
Term Municipal Fund). Each Fund intends to qualify each year to
pay exempt-interest dividends by satisfying the requirement that at the close of each quarter of the Fund's taxable year at least 50%
of the Fund's total assets consists of Municipal Securities, which are exempt from federal income tax.
Exempt-interest
dividends. Distributions from the Fund will constitute exempt-interest
dividends to the extent of the Fund’s tax-exempt interest income (net of allocable expenses and amortized bond premium). Exempt-interest
dividends distributed to shareholders of the Fund are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, shareholders
required to file a federal income tax return will be required to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends on their returns. Moreover,
while exempt-interest dividends are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, they may be subject to alternative minimum
tax (AMT) in certain circumstances for noncorporate taxpayers and may have other collateral tax consequences as discussed below.
Distributions
of ordinary income and capital gains. Any gain or loss from the
sale or other disposition of a tax-exempt security generally is treated as either long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending
upon its holding period, and is fully taxable as described in " Taxation of Fund Distributions - Capital gain dividends". However, gain
recognized from the sale or other disposition of Municipal Security purchased after April 30, 1993, will be treated as ordinary income
to the extent of the accrued market discount on such security. Distributions by the Fund of ordinary income and capital gains will be
taxable to shareholders as discussed under “Taxation of Fund Distributions (All Funds) – Distributions of ordinary income.”
Alternative
minimum tax – private activity bonds. AMT is imposed in
addition to, but only to the extent it exceeds, the regular tax and is computed at a maximum rate of 28% for non-corporate taxpayers on
the excess of the taxpayer’s alternative minimum taxable income (AMTI) over an exemption amount. Exempt-interest dividends derived
from certain “private activity” Municipal Securities issued after August 7, 1986, generally will constitute an item of tax
preference includable in AMTI for non-corporate taxpayers. However, tax-exempt interest on private activity bonds issued in 2009 and 2010
is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the AMT.
Effect
on taxation of social security benefits; denial of interest deduction; “substantial users.”
Exempt-interest dividends must be taken into account in computing the portion, if any, of social security or railroad retirement benefits
that must be included in an individual shareholder’s gross income subject to federal income tax. Further, a shareholder of the
Fund is denied a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of the Fund. Moreover, a shareholder
who is (or is related to) a “substantial user” of a facility financed by industrial development bonds held by the Fund likely
will be subject to tax on dividends paid by the Fund that are derived from interest on such bonds. Receipt of exempt-interest dividends
may result in other collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including financial institutions, property and casualty
insurance companies and foreign corporations engaged in a trade or business in the United States.
Exemption
from state tax. To the extent that exempt-interest dividends are
derived from interest on obligations of a state or its political subdivisions or from interest on qualifying U.S. territorial obligations
(including
qualifying obligations of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam), they also may be exempt from
that state’s personal income taxes. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest on state and municipal securities
of other states.
Failure
of a Municipal Security to qualify to pay exempt-interest. Failure
of the issuer of a tax-exempt security to comply with certain legal or contractual requirements relating to a Municipal Security could
cause interest on the Municipal Security, as well as Fund distributions derived from this interest, to become taxable, perhaps retroactively
to the date the Municipal Security was issued. In such a case, the Fund may be required to report to the IRS and send to shareholders
amended Forms 1099 for a prior taxable year in order to report additional taxable income. This in turn could require shareholders to file
amended federal and state income tax returns for such prior year to report and pay tax and interest on their pro rata share of the additional
amount of taxable income.
Distributions
of ordinary income. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets
in securities that pay taxable interest. The Fund also 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 to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits. None of the dividends paid by the Fund will qualify for the dividends-received
deduction in the case of corporate shareholders or as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate
shareholders. Provided the Fund otherwise satisfies the Distribution Requirement, the Fund reserves the right to retain, and not distribute
to shareholders, income and gains taxable as ordinary income, in which case the Fund would be subject to tax at the corporate income tax
rate.
Sale
or Redemption of Fund Shares. A shareholder will recognize gain
or loss on the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the sale or redemption
and the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. If you owned your shares as a capital asset, any gain or loss that you
realize will be considered capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for longer than one
year. Capital losses in any year are deductible only to the extent of capital gains plus, in the case of a noncorporate taxpayer, $3,000
of ordinary income.
Tax
basis information. The Fund is required to report to you and the
IRS annually on Form 1099 B the cost basis of shares purchased or acquired on or after January 1, 2012 where the cost basis of the shares
is known by the Fund (referred to as covered shares) and which are disposed of after that date. However, cost basis reporting is not required
for certain shareholders, including shareholders investing in the Fund through a tax-advantaged retirement account, such as a 401(k) plan
or an individual retirement account, or shareholders investing in a money market fund that maintains a stable net asset value. When required
to report cost basis, the Fund will calculate it using the Fund’s default method of average cost, unless you instruct the Fund
to use a different calculation method. In general, average cost is the total cost basis of all your shares in an account divided by the
total number of shares in the account. To determine whether short-term or long-term capital gains taxes apply, the IRS presumes you redeem
your oldest shares first.
The
IRS permits the use of several methods to determine the cost basis of mutual fund shares. The method
used will determine which specific shares are deemed to be sold when there are multiple purchases on different dates at differing share
prices, and the entire position is not sold at one time. The Fund does not recommend any particular method of determining cost basis,
and the use of other methods may result in more favorable tax consequences for some shareholders. It is important that you consult with
your tax advisor to determine which method is best for you and then notify the Fund if you intend to utilize a method other than average
cost for covered shares.
In
addition to the Fund’s default method of average cost, other cost basis methods offered by Invesco, which
you may elect to apply to covered shares, include:
•
First-In,
First-Out — shares acquired first in the account are the first shares depleted.
•
Last-In,
First-Out — shares acquired last in the account are the first shares depleted.
•
High
Cost — shares acquired with the highest cost per share are the first shares depleted.
•
Low
Cost — shares acquired with the lowest cost per share are the first shares depleted.
•
Loss/Gain
Utilization — depletes shares with losses before gains, consistent with the objective of minimizing taxes. For shares that yield
a loss, shares owned one year or less (short-term) will be depleted ahead of shares owned more than one year (long-term). For gains, long-term
shares will be depleted ahead of short-term gains.
•
Specific
Lot Identification — shareholder selects which lots to deplete at time of each disposition. Transaction amount must be in shares.
If insufficient shares are identified at the time of disposition, then a secondary default method of first-in, first-out will be applied.
You
may elect any of the available methods detailed above for your covered shares. If you do not notify the
Fund of your elected cost basis method, the default method of average cost will be applied to your covered shares upon redemption. The
cost basis for covered shares will be calculated separately from any “noncovered shares” (defined below) you may own. You
may change or revoke the use of the average cost method and revert to another cost basis method if you notify the Fund by the date of
the first sale, exchange, or other disposition of your covered shares. In addition, you may change to another cost basis method at any
time by notifying the Fund, but only for shares acquired after the date of the change (the change is prospective). The basis of the shares
that were averaged before the change will remain averaged after the date of the change.
The
Fund may also provide Fund shareholders (but not the IRS) with information concerning the average cost
basis of their shares purchased prior to January 1, 2012 (noncovered shares) in order to assist you with the calculation of gain or loss
from a sale or redemption of noncovered shares. With the exception of the specific lot identification method, Invesco first depletes noncovered
shares in first-in, first-out order before applying your elected method to your remaining covered shares. If you want to deplete your
shares in a different order then you must elect specific lot identification and choose the lots you wish to deplete first. Shareholders
that use the average cost method for noncovered shares must make the election to use the average cost method for these shares on their
federal income tax returns in accordance with Treasury regulations. This election for noncovered shares cannot be made by notifying the
Fund.
The
Fund will compute and report the cost basis of your Fund shares sold or exchanged by taking into account
all of the applicable adjustments to cost basis and holding periods as required by the Code and Treasury regulations for purposes of reporting
these amounts to you and, in the case of covered shares, to the IRS. However, the Fund is not required to, and in many cases the Fund
does not possess the information to, take all possible basis, holding period or other adjustments into account in reporting cost basis
information to you. Therefore, shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by the Fund, whether this information
is provided pursuant to compliance with cost basis reporting requirements for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012, or is provided
by the Fund as a service to shareholders for shares acquired prior to that date, and make any additional basis, holding period or other
adjustments that are required by the Code and Treasury regulations when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. Shareholders
remain solely responsible for complying with all federal income tax laws when filing 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 the 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 Account Access & Forms menu of our website at www.invesco.com/us.
Wash
sale rule. All or a portion of any loss so recognized may be deferred
under the wash sale rules if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the sale or redemption.
Any loss disallowed under these rules will be added to your tax basis in the new Shares.
Sales
at a loss within six months of purchase. Any capital loss arising
from the sale or redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount
of capital gain dividends received on such shares. In the case of shares in a Tax-Free Fund, any such loss will be disallowed to the extent
of any exempt-interest dividends that were received within the six-month period.
However,
this rule does not apply to any loss incurred on a sale or redemption of shares of a Tax-Free Fund that
declares exempt-interest dividends daily and distributes them at least monthly for which your holding period began after December 22,
2010.
Deferral
of basis ― any class that bears a front-end sales load.
If a shareholder (a) incurs a sales load in acquiring shares of the Fund, (b) disposes of such shares less than 91 days after they are
acquired, and (c) subsequently acquires shares of the Fund or another Fund by January 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year
in which the disposition of the original shares occurred at a reduced sales load pursuant to a right to reinvest at such reduced sales
load acquired in connection with the acquisition of the shares disposed of, then the sales load on the shares disposed of (to the extent
of the reduction in the sales load on the shares subsequently acquired) shall not be taken into account in determining gain or loss on
the shares disposed of, but shall be treated as incurred on the acquisition of the shares subsequently acquired. The wash sale rules may
also limit the amount of loss that may be taken into account on disposition after such adjustment.
Conversion
of shares of the Fund into other shares of the same Fund. The conversion
of shares of one class of the Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no
gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to the terms of the
class or is initiated by the shareholder. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax consequences
of a conversion of shares.
Exchange
of shares of the Fund for shares of another Fund. The exchange
of shares in one Fund for shares of another Fund is taxable for federal income tax purposes and the exchange will be reported as a taxable
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. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax
consequences of an exchange of shares.
Reportable
transactions. Under Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes
a loss with respect to the Fund’s shares of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate
shareholder (or certain greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on
Form 8886. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer’s
treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in
light of their individual circumstances.
Tax
Treatment of Portfolio Transactions. Set forth below is a general
description of the tax treatment of certain types of securities, investment techniques and transactions that may apply to a fund. This
section should be read in conjunction with the discussion under “Description of the Funds and their Investments and Risks —
Investment Strategies and Risks” for a detailed description of the various types of securities and investment techniques that apply
to the Fund.
In
general. In general, gain or loss recognized by a fund on the sale
or other disposition of portfolio investments will be a capital gain or loss. Such capital gain and loss may be long-term or short-term
depending, in general, upon the length of time a particular investment position is maintained and, in some cases, upon the nature of the
transaction. Property held for more than one year generally will be eligible for long-term capital gain or loss treatment. The application
of certain rules described below may serve to alter the manner in which the holding period for a security is determined or may otherwise
affect the characterization as long-term or short-term, and also the timing of the realization and/or character, of certain gains or losses.
Certain
fixed-income investments. Gain recognized on the disposition of
a debt obligation purchased by a fund at a market discount (generally, at a price less than its principal amount) will be treated as ordinary
income to the extent of the portion of the market discount that accrued during the period of time the fund held the debt obligation unless
the fund made a current inclusion election to accrue market discount into income as it accrues. If a fund purchases a debt obligation
(such as a zero coupon security or pay-in-kind security) that was originally issued at a discount, the fund generally is required to include
in gross income each year the portion of the original issue discount that accrues during such year. Therefore, a fund’s investment
in such
securities
may cause the fund to recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any
cash payments on the securities. To generate cash to satisfy those distribution requirements, a fund may have to sell portfolio securities
that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of fund shares.
Investments
in debt obligations that are at risk of or in default present tax issues for a fund.
Tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as whether and to what extent a fund should recognize market discount on a debt obligation,
when a fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or market discount, when and to what extent a fund may take deductions
for bad debts or worthless securities and how a fund should allocate payments received on obligations in default between principal and
income. These and other related issues will be addressed by a fund in order to ensure that it distributes sufficient income to preserve
its status as a regulated investment company.
Options,
futures, forward contracts, swap agreements and hedging transactions.
In general, option premiums received by a fund are not immediately included in the income of the fund. Instead, the premiums are recognized
when the option contract expires, the option is exercised by the holder, or the fund transfers or otherwise terminates the option (e.g.,
through a closing transaction). If an option written by a fund is exercised and the fund sells or delivers the underlying stock, the fund
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to (a) the sum of the strike price and the option premium received by the fund minus
(b) the fund’s basis in the stock. Such gain or loss generally will be short-term or long-term depending upon the holding period
of the underlying stock. If securities are purchased by a fund pursuant to the exercise of a put option written by it, the fund generally
will subtract the premium received from its cost basis in the securities purchased. The gain or loss with respect to any termination of
a fund’s obligation under an option other than through the exercise of the option and related sale or delivery of the underlying
stock generally will be short-term gain or loss depending on whether the premium income received by the fund is greater or less than the
amount paid by the fund (if any) in terminating the transaction. Thus, for example, if an option written by a fund expires unexercised,
the fund generally will recognize short-term gain equal to the premium received.
The
tax treatment of certain futures contracts entered into by a fund as well as listed non-equity options written
or purchased by the fund on U.S. exchanges (including options on futures contracts, broad-based equity indices and debt securities) may
be governed by section 1256 of the Code (section 1256 contracts). Gains or losses on section 1256 contracts generally are considered 60%
long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses (60/40), although certain foreign currency gains and losses from such contracts may
be treated as ordinary in character. Also, any section 1256 contracts held by a fund at the end of each taxable year (and, for purposes
of the 4% excise tax, on certain other dates as prescribed under the Code) are “marked-to-market” with the result that unrealized
gains or losses are treated as though they were realized and the resulting gain or loss is treated as ordinary or 60/40 gain or loss,
as applicable. Section 1256 contracts do not include any interest rate swap, currency swap, basis swap, interest rate cap, interest rate
floor, commodity swap, equity swap, equity index swap, credit default swap or similar agreement.
In
addition to the special rules described above in respect of options and futures transactions, a fund’s transactions
in other derivative instruments (including options, forward contracts and swap agreements) as well as its other hedging, short sale, or
similar transactions, may be subject to one or more special tax rules (including the constructive sale, notional principal contract, straddle,
wash sale and short sale rules). These rules may affect whether gains and losses recognized by a fund are treated as ordinary or capital
or as short-term or long-term, accelerate the recognition of income or gains to the fund, defer losses to the fund, and cause adjustments
in the holding periods of the fund’s securities. These rules, therefore, could affect the amount, timing and/or character of distributions
to shareholders. Moreover, because the tax rules applicable to derivative financial instruments are in some cases uncertain under current
law, an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to these rules (which determination or guidance could be retroactive)
may affect whether a fund has made sufficient distributions and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements to maintain its qualification
as a regulated investment company and avoid a fund-level tax.
Certain
of a fund’s investments in derivatives and foreign currency-denominated instruments, and the fund’s
transactions in foreign currencies and hedging activities, may produce a difference between its book
income
and its taxable income. If a fund’s book income is less than the sum of its taxable income and net tax-exempt
income (if any), the fund could be required to make distributions exceeding book income to qualify as a regulated investment company.
If a fund’s book income exceeds the sum of its taxable income and net tax-exempt income (if any), the distribution of any such
excess will be treated as (i) a dividend to the extent of the fund’s remaining earnings and profits (including current earnings
and profits arising from tax-exempt income, reduced by related deductions), (ii) thereafter, as a return of capital to the extent of the
recipient’s basis in the shares, and (iii) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.
Foreign
currency transactions. A fund’s transactions in foreign
currencies, foreign currency-denominated debt obligations and certain foreign currency options, futures contracts and forward contracts
(and similar instruments) may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations in the
value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease a fund’s ordinary income distributions to you,
and may cause some or all of the fund’s previously distributed income to be classified as a return of capital. In certain cases,
a fund may make an election to treat such gain or loss as capital.
PFIC
investments. A fund may invest in securities of foreign companies
that may be classified under the Code as PFICs. In general, a foreign company is classified as a PFIC if at least one-half of its assets
constitute investment-type assets or 75% or more of its gross income is investment-type income. When investing in PFIC securities, a fund
intends to mark-to-market these securities under certain provisions of the Code and recognize any unrealized gains as ordinary income
at the end of the fund’s fiscal and excise tax years. Deductions for losses are allowable only to the extent of any current or
previously recognized gains. These gains (reduced by allowable losses) are treated as ordinary income that a fund is required to distribute,
even though it has not sold or received dividends from these securities. You should also be aware that the designation of a foreign security
as a PFIC security will cause its income dividends to fall outside of the definition of qualified foreign corporation dividends. These
dividends generally will not qualify for the reduced rate of taxation on qualified dividends when distributed to you by a fund. Foreign
companies are not required to identify themselves as PFICs. Due to various complexities in identifying PFICs, a fund can give no assurances
that it will be able to identify portfolio securities in foreign corporations that are PFICs in time for the fund to make a mark-to-market
election. If a fund is unable to identify an investment as a PFIC and thus does not make a mark-to-market election, the fund may be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if
such income is distributed as a taxable dividend by the fund to its shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest may be
imposed on a fund in respect of deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains.
Investments
in non-U.S. REITs. While non-U.S. REITs often use complex acquisition
structures that seek to minimize taxation in the source country, an investment by a fund in a non-U.S. REIT may subject the fund, directly
or indirectly, to corporate taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and other indirect taxes in the country in which the real estate
acquired by the non-U.S. REIT is located. The fund's pro rata share of any such taxes will reduce the fund's return on its investment.
A fund's investment in a non-U.S. REIT may be considered an investment in a PFIC, as discussed above in “Tax Treatment
of Portfolio Transactions – PFIC investments.” Additionally, foreign withholding taxes on distributions from the non-U.S.
REIT may be reduced or eliminated under certain tax treaties, as discussed above in “Taxation of the Fund – Foreign income
tax.” Also, the fund in certain limited circumstances may be required to file an income tax return in the source country and pay
tax on any gain realized from its investment in the non-U.S. REIT under rules similar to those in the United States which tax foreign
persons on gain realized from dispositions of interests in U.S. real estate.
Investments
in U.S. REITs. A U.S. REIT is not subject to federal income tax
on the income and gains it distributes to shareholders. Dividends paid by a U.S. REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be
taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital gain dividends
paid by a U.S. REIT to a fund will be treated as long-term capital gains by the fund and, in turn, may be distributed by the fund to its
shareholders as a capital gain distribution. Because of certain noncash expenses, such as property depreciation, an equity U.S.
REIT’s cash flow may exceed its taxable income. The equity U.S. REIT, and in turn a fund, may distribute this excess cash
to shareholders in the form of a
return
of capital distribution. However, if a U.S. REIT is operated in a manner that fails to qualify as a REIT, an investment
in the U.S. REIT would become subject to double taxation, meaning the taxable income of the U.S. REIT would be subject to federal income
tax at the corporate income tax rate without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders and the dividends would be taxable to shareholders
as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings
and profits. Also, see “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Investment in taxable mortgage pools (excess inclusion
income)” and “Foreign Shareholders — U.S. withholding tax at the source” with respect to certain other tax
aspects of investing in U.S. REITs.
Investment
in taxable mortgage pools (excess inclusion income). Under a Notice
issued by the IRS, the Code and Treasury regulations to be issued, a portion of a fund’s income from a U.S. REIT that is attributable
to the REIT’s residual interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) or equity interests in a “taxable mortgage
pool” (referred to in the Code as an excess inclusion) will be subject to federal income tax in all events. The excess inclusion
income of a regulated investment company, such as a fund, will be allocated to shareholders of the regulated investment company in proportion
to the dividends received by such shareholders, with the same consequences as if the shareholders held the related REMIC residual interest
or, if applicable, taxable mortgage pool directly. In general, excess inclusion income allocated to shareholders (i) cannot be offset
by net operating losses (subject to a limited exception for certain thrift institutions), (ii) will constitute unrelated business taxable
income (UBTI) to entities (including qualified pension plans, individual retirement accounts, 401(k) plans, Keogh plans or other tax-exempt
entities) subject to tax on UBTI, thereby potentially requiring such an entity that is allocated excess inclusion income, and otherwise
might not be required to file a tax return, to file a tax return and pay tax on such income, and (iii) in the case of a foreign stockholder,
will not qualify for any reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax. In addition, if at any time during any taxable year a “disqualified
organization” (which generally includes certain cooperatives, governmental entities, and tax-exempt organizations not subject to
tax on UBTI) is a record holder of a share in a regulated investment company, then the regulated investment company will be subject to
a tax equal to that portion of its excess inclusion income for the taxable year that is allocable to the disqualified organization, multiplied
by the corporate income tax rate. The Notice imposes certain reporting requirements upon regulated investment companies that have excess
inclusion income. There can be no assurance that a fund will not allocate to shareholders excess inclusion income.
These
rules are potentially applicable to a fund with respect to any income it receives from the equity interests
of certain mortgage pooling vehicles, either directly or, as is more likely, through an investment in a U.S. REIT. It is unlikely
that these rules will apply to a fund that has a non-REIT strategy.
Investments
in partnerships and QPTPs. For purposes of the Income Requirement,
income derived by a fund from a partnership that is not a QPTP will be treated as qualifying income only to the extent such income is
attributable to items of income of the partnership that would be qualifying income if realized directly by the fund. While the rules are
not entirely clear with respect to a fund investing in a partnership outside a master-feeder structure, for purposes of testing whether
a fund satisfies the Asset Diversification Test, the fund generally is treated as owning a pro rata share of the underlying assets of
a partnership. See “Taxation of the Fund — Qualification as a regulated investment company.” In contrast, different
rules apply to a partnership that is a QPTP. A QPTP is a partnership (a) the interests in which are traded on an established securities
market, (b) that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (c) that derives less than 90% of its income from sources
that satisfy the Income Requirement (e.g., because it invests in commodities). All of the net income derived by a fund from an interest
in a QPTP will be treated as qualifying income but the fund may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in one or more QPTPs. However,
there can be no assurance that a partnership classified as a QPTP in one year will qualify as a QPTP in the next year. Any such failure
to annually qualify as a QPTP might, in turn, cause a fund to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company. Although, in general,
the passive loss rules of the Code do not apply to RICs, such rules do apply to a fund with respect to items attributable to an interest
in a QPTP. Fund investments in partnerships, including in QPTPs, may result in the fund being subject to state, local or foreign income,
franchise or withholding tax liabilities.
If
an MLP is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (whether or not a QPTP), all or portion
of the dividends received by a fund from the MLP likely will be treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes because
of accelerated deductions available with respect to the activities of such MLPs. Further, because of these accelerated deductions, on
the disposition of interests in such an MLP, a fund likely will realize taxable income in excess of economic gain with respect to those
MLP interests (or if the fund does not dispose of the MLP, the fund could realize taxable income in excess of cash flow with respect to
the MLP in a later period), and the fund must take such income into account in determining whether the fund has satisfied its Distribution
Requirement. A fund may have to borrow or liquidate securities to satisfy its Distribution Requirement and to meet its redemption requests,
even though investment considerations might otherwise make it undesirable for the fund to sell securities or borrow money at such time.
In addition, any gain recognized, either upon the sale of a fund’s MLP interest or sale by the MLP of property held by it, including
in excess of economic gain thereon, treated as so-called “recapture income,” will be treated as ordinary income. Therefore,
to the extent a fund invests in MLPs, fund shareholders might receive greater amounts of distributions from the fund taxable as ordinary
income than they otherwise would in the absence of such MLP investments.
Although
MLPs are generally expected to be treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
some MLPs may be treated as PFICs or “regular” corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The treatment of particular
MLPs for U.S. federal income tax purposes will affect the extent to which a fund can invest in MLPs and will impact the amount, character,
and timing of income recognized by the Fund.
Investments
in commodities ― structured notes, corporate subsidiary and certain ETFs.
Gains from the disposition of commodities, including precious metals, will neither be considered qualifying income for purposes of satisfying
the Income Requirement nor qualifying assets for purposes of satisfying the Asset Diversification Test. See “Taxation of the Fund
— Qualification as a regulated investment company.” Also, the IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that income derived
from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as
in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides
that income from certain alternative investments which create commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes
or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be considered qualifying income under the Code.
However,
the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment of a corporation as a regulated investment company that require a determination
of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the
IRS’s position. (A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates
qualifying income for a corporation taxed as a regulated investment company.) Accordingly, a fund may invest in certain commodity-linked
notes relying on an opinion of counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying income because such commodity-linked
notes constitute securities under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act. In addition, a RIC may gain exposure to commodities through investment
in a QPTP, such as an exchange-traded fund or ETF that is classified as a partnership and which invests in commodities, or through investment
in a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary that is treated as a controlled foreign corporation for federal income tax purposes. Treasury regulations
treat “Subpart F” income (defined in Section 951 of the Code to include passive income such as income from commodity-linked
derivatives) as qualifying income, even if a foreign corporation, such as a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, does not make a distribution
of such income. If a distribution is made, such income will be treated as a dividend by the Funds to the extent that, under applicable
provisions of the Code, there is a distribution out of the earnings and profits of the foreign corporation attributable to the distribution.
Accordingly, the extent to which a fund directly invests in commodities or commodity-linked derivatives may be limited by the Income Requirement
and the Asset Diversification Test, which the fund must continue to satisfy to maintain its status as a regulated investment company.
A fund also may be limited in its ability to sell its investments in commodities, commodity-linked derivatives, and certain ETFs or be
forced to sell other investments to generate income due to the Income Requirement. If a fund does not appropriately limit such investments
or if such investments (or the income
earned
on such investments) were to be recharacterized for U.S. tax purposes, the fund could fail to qualify as
a regulated investment company. In lieu of potential disqualification, a fund is permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy
the Asset Diversification Test or Income Requirement, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful
neglect.
Securities
lending. While securities are loaned out by a fund, the fund generally
will receive from the borrower amounts equal to any dividends or interest paid on the borrowed securities. For federal income tax purposes,
payments made “in lieu of” dividends are not considered dividend income. These distributions will neither qualify for the
reduced rate of taxation for individuals on qualified dividends nor the 50% dividends-received deduction for corporations. Also, any foreign
tax withheld on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits
to shareholders. Additionally, in the case of a fund with a strategy of investing in tax-exempt securities, any payments made “in
lieu of” tax-exempt interest will be considered taxable income to the fund, and thus, to the investors, even though such interest
may be tax-exempt when paid to the borrower.
Investments
in convertible securities. Convertible debt is ordinarily treated
as a “single property” consisting of a pure debt interest until conversion, after which the investment becomes an equity
interest. If the security is issued at a premium (i.e., for cash in excess of the face amount payable on retirement), the creditor-holder
may amortize the premium over the life of the bond. If the security is issued for cash at a price below its face amount, the creditor-holder
must accrue original issue discount in income over the life of the debt. The creditor-holder’s exercise of the conversion privilege
is treated as a nontaxable event. Mandatorily convertible debt (e.g., an exchange-traded note or ETN issued in the form of an unsecured
obligation that pays a return based on the performance of a specified market index, exchange currency, or commodity) is often, but not
always, treated as a contract to buy or sell the reference property rather than debt. Similarly, convertible preferred stock with a mandatory
conversion feature is ordinarily, but not always, treated as equity rather than debt. Dividends received may be qualified dividend income
and eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction. In general, conversion of preferred stock for common stock of the same corporation
is tax-free. Conversion of preferred stock for cash is a taxable redemption. Any redemption premium for preferred stock that is redeemable
by the issuing company might be required to be amortized under original issue discount principles. A change in the conversion ratio or
conversion price of a convertible security on account of a dividend paid to the issuer’s other shareholders may result in a deemed
distribution of stock to the holders of the convertible security equal to the value of their increased interest in the equity of the issuer.
Thus, an increase in the conversion ratio of a convertible security can be treated as a taxable distribution of stock to a holder of the
convertible security (without a corresponding receipt of cash by the holder) before the holder has converted the security.
Tax
Certification and Backup Withholding. Tax certification and backup
withholding tax laws may require that you certify your tax information when you become an investor in the Fund. For U.S. citizens and
resident aliens, this certification is made on IRS Form W-9. Under these laws, the Fund must withhold a portion of your taxable distributions
and sales proceeds unless you:
•
provide
your correct Social Security or taxpayer identification number;
•
certify
that this number is correct;
•
certify
that you are not subject to backup withholding; and
•
certify
that you are a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).
The
Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be
24% of any distributions or proceeds paid. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the
shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the appropriate information is furnished to the IRS. Certain payees and
payments are exempt from backup withholding and information reporting.
Non-U.S.
investors have special U.S. tax certification requirements. See “Foreign Shareholders — Tax certification
and backup withholding.”
Foreign
Shareholders. Shareholders who, as to the United States, are nonresident
alien individuals, foreign trusts or estates, foreign corporations, or foreign partnerships (foreign shareholder), may be subject to U.S.
withholding and estate tax and are subject to special U.S. tax certification requirements.
Taxation
of a foreign shareholder depends on whether the income from the Fund is “effectively connected” with
a U.S. trade or business carried on by such shareholder.
U.S.
withholding tax at the source. If the income from the Fund is not
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, distributions to such shareholder will be subject
to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) upon the gross amount of the distribution, subject to certain exemptions
including those for dividends reported by the Fund to shareholders as:
•
exempt-interest
dividends paid by the Fund from its net interest income earned on municipal securities;
•
capital
gain dividends paid by the Fund from its net long-term capital gains (other than those from disposition of a U.S. real property interest),
unless you are a nonresident alien present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar
year; and
•
interest-related
dividends paid by the Fund from its qualified net interest income from U.S. sources and short-term capital gain dividends.
However,
the Fund does not intend to utilize the exemptions for interest-related dividends paid and short-term
capital gain dividends paid. Moreover, notwithstanding such exemptions from U.S. withholding at the source, any dividends and distributions
of income and capital gains, including the proceeds from the sale of your Fund shares, will be subject to backup withholding at a rate
of 24% if you fail to properly certify that you are not a U.S. person.
Foreign
shareholders may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% on the income resulting from
an election to pass-through foreign tax credits to shareholders, but may not be able to claim a credit or deduction with respect to the
withholding tax for the foreign tax treated as having been paid by them.
Amounts
reported by the Fund to shareholders as capital gain dividends (a) that are attributable to certain capital
gain dividends received from a qualified investment entity (QIE) (generally defined as either (i) a U.S. REIT or (ii) a RIC classified
as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” or which would be if the exceptions for holding 5% or less of a class of publicly
traded shares or an interest in a domestically controlled QIE did not apply), or (b) that are realized by the Fund on the sale of a “U.S.
real property interest” (including gain realized on the sale of shares in a QIE other than one that is domestically controlled),
will not be exempt from U.S. federal income tax and may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower treaty rate) if
the Fund by reason of having a REIT strategy is classified as a QIE. If the Fund is so classified, foreign shareholders owning more than
5% of the Fund’s shares may be treated as realizing gain from the disposition of a U.S. real property interest, causing Fund distributions
to be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the corporate income tax rate, and requiring the filing of a nonresident U.S. income tax return.
In addition, if the Fund is classified as a QIE, anti-avoidance rules apply to certain wash sale transactions. Namely, if the Fund is
a domestically controlled QIE and a foreign shareholder disposes of the Fund’s shares prior to the Fund paying a distribution attributable
to the disposition of a U.S. real property interest and the foreign shareholder later acquires an identical stock interest in a wash sale
transaction, the foreign shareholder may still be required to pay U.S. tax on the Fund’s distribution. Also, the sale of shares
of the Fund, if classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation,” could also be considered a sale of a U.S. real
property interest with any resulting gain from such sale being subject to U.S. tax as income “effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business.”
Income
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. If the income
from the Fund is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, then ordinary income dividends,
capital gain dividends and any gains realized upon the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax at the rates applicable to U.S. citizens or domestic corporations and require the filing of a nonresident U.S. income tax return.
Tax
certification and backup withholding. Foreign shareholders may
have special U.S. tax certification requirements to avoid backup withholding (at a rate of 24%) and, if applicable, to obtain the benefit
of any income tax treaty between the foreign shareholder’s country of residence and the United States. To claim these tax benefits,
the foreign shareholder must provide a properly completed Form W-8BEN (or other Form W-8, where applicable, or their substitute forms)
to establish his or her status as a non-U.S. investor, to claim beneficial ownership over the assets in the account, and to claim, if
applicable, a reduced rate of or exemption from withholding tax under the applicable treaty. A Form W-8BEN provided without a U.S. taxpayer
identification number remains in effect for a period of three years beginning on the date that it is signed and ending on the last day
of the third succeeding calendar year. However, non-U.S. investors must advise the Fund of any changes of circumstances that would render
the information given on the form incorrect, and must then provide a new W-8BEN to avoid the prospective application of backup withholding.
Forms W-8BEN with U.S. taxpayer identification numbers remain valid indefinitely, or until the investor has a change of circumstances
that renders the form incorrect and necessitates a new form and tax certification. Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup
withholding.
Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Under FATCA, the Fund will
be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions
(FFI) or non-financial foreign entities (NFFE). After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital
gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed
regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide
otherwise (which is not expected). The FATCA withholding tax generally can be avoided: (a) by an FFI, if it reports certain direct and
indirect ownership of foreign financial accounts held by U.S. persons with the FFI and (b) by an NFFE, if it: (i) certifies that it has
no substantial U.S. persons as owners or (ii) if it does have such owners, reporting information relating to them. The U.S. Treasury has
negotiated intergovernmental agreements (IGA) with certain countries and is in various stages of negotiations with a number of other foreign
countries with respect to one or more alternative approaches to implement FATCA.
An
FFI can avoid FATCA withholding if it is deemed compliant or by becoming a “participating FFI,” which requires
the FFI to enter into a U.S. tax compliance agreement with the IRS under section 1471(b) of the Code (FFI agreement) under which it agrees
to verify, report and disclose certain of its U.S. accountholders and meet certain other specified requirements. The FFI will either report
the specified information about the U.S. accounts to the IRS, or, to the government of the FFI’s country of residence (pursuant
to the terms and conditions of applicable law and an applicable IGA entered into between the U.S. and the FFI’s country of residence),
which will, in turn, report the specified information to the IRS. An FFI that is resident in a country that has entered into an IGA with
the U.S. to implement FATCA will be exempt from FATCA withholding provided that the FFI shareholder and the applicable foreign government
comply with the terms of such agreement.
An
NFFE that is the beneficial owner of a payment from the Fund can avoid the FATCA withholding tax generally
by certifying that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or by providing the name, address and taxpayer identification number of
each substantial U.S. owner. The NFFE will report the information to the Fund or other applicable withholding agent, which will, in turn,
report the information to the IRS.
Such
foreign shareholders also may fall into certain exempt, excepted or deemed compliant categories as established
by U.S. Treasury regulations, IGAs, and other guidance regarding FATCA. An FFI or NFFE that invests in the Fund will need to provide the
Fund with documentation properly certifying the entity’s status under FATCA in order to avoid FATCA withholding. Non-U.S. investors
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the impact of these requirements on their investment in the Fund. The requirements imposed
by FATCA are different from, and in addition to, the U.S. tax certification rules to avoid backup withholding described above. Shareholders
are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these requirements to their own situation.
U.S.
estate tax. Transfers by gift of shares of the Fund by a foreign
shareholder who is a nonresident alien individual will not be subject to U.S. federal gift tax. An individual who, at the time of death,
is a foreign
shareholder
will nevertheless be subject to U.S. federal estate tax with respect to shares at the graduated rates
applicable to U.S. citizens and residents, unless a treaty exemption applies. If a treaty exemption is available, a decedent’s
estate may nonetheless need to file a U.S. estate tax return to claim the exemption in order to obtain a U.S. federal transfer certificate.
The transfer certificate will identify the property (i.e., Fund shares) as to which the U.S. federal estate tax lien has been released.
In the absence of a treaty, there is a $13,000 statutory estate tax credit (equivalent to an estate with assets of $60,000).
Local
Tax Considerations. Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary
income, qualified dividend income and capital gain dividends may differ from the rules for U.S. federal income taxation described above.
Distributions may also be subject to additional state, local and foreign taxes depending on each shareholder’s particular situation.
DISTRIBUTION
OF SECURITIES
Distributor
The
Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement, as amended, relating to the Funds (the Distribution
Agreement) with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors), a registered broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco
Ltd., pursuant to which Invesco Distributors acts as the distributor of shares of the Funds. The address of Invesco Distributors is 11
Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, TX 77046-1173. Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco Distributors.
See “Management of the Trust.” In addition to the Funds, Invesco Distributors serves as distributor to many other mutual
funds that are offered to retail investors. The following Distribution of Securities information is about all of the Invesco Funds that
offer retail and/or Class R5 or Class R6 shares. Not all Invesco Funds offer all share classes.
The
Distribution Agreement provides Invesco Distributors with the exclusive right to distribute shares of the
Funds on a continuous basis directly and through other broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries with whom Invesco Distributors
has entered into selected dealer and/or similar agreements. Invesco Distributors has not undertaken to sell any specified number of shares
of any classes of the Funds.
Invesco
Distributors expects to pay sales commissions from its own resources to dealers and institutions who
sell Class C and Class R shares of the Funds at the time of such sales.
Invesco
Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the
Invesco Funds at the time of such sales. Payments for Class C shares generally equal 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class C shares
sold by the dealer or institution, consisting of a sales commission of 0.75% of the purchase price of the Class C shares sold plus an
advance of the first year service fee of up to 0.25% for such shares. Invesco Distributors will retain all payments received by it relating
to Class C shares for the first year after they are purchased. The portion of the payments to Invesco Distributors under the Class C Plan
that constitutes an asset-based sales charge (0.75%) is intended in part to permit Invesco Distributors to recoup a portion of the sales
commissions to dealers plus financing costs, if any. After the first full year, Invesco Distributors will make payments to dealers and
institutions based on the average net asset value of Class C shares that are attributable to shareholders for whom the dealers and institutions
are designated as dealers of record. These payments will consist of an asset-based sales charge of 0.75% and a service fee of up to 0.25%.
Invesco
Distributors may pay dealers and institutions who sell Class R shares an annual fee of 0.50% of average
daily net assets. These payments will consist of an asset-based fee of 0.25% and a service fee of 0.25%. Invesco Distributors will make
payments to dealers and institutions based on the average net asset value of Class R shares that are attributable to shareholders for
whom the dealers and institutions are designated as dealers of record.
The
Trust (on behalf of any class of any Invesco Fund) or Invesco Distributors may terminate the Distribution
Agreements on 60 days’ written notice without penalty. The Distribution Agreements will terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment.
Total
sales charges (front end and CDSCs) paid in connection with the sale of shares of each class of each
Fund, if applicable, for the last three fiscal years are found in Appendix M.
Distribution
Plans
The
Trust has adopted three different forms of distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act
for the Funds’ Class A shares, Class C shares, Class R shares and Investor Class shares, as applicable (each, a Plan, and together,
the Plans).

The
Compensation Plan compensates and the Reimbursement Plan (Distribution and Service) reimburses
Invesco Distributors for expenses incurred for the purpose of financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale
of shares of the Funds. Such activities include, but are not limited to, the following: printing and distributing prospectuses and reports
used for sales purposes, preparing and distributing sales literature (and any related services), advertisements, payment of dealer commissions
and wholesaler compensation in connection with sales of certain Fund's Class A shares exceeding a certain amount set forth in the prospectus
for such Fund (for which the Fund imposes no sales charge) and other distribution-related services permitted by Rule 12b-1. The Reimbursement
Plan (Service Only) reimburses Invesco Distributors for expenses incurred for shareholder services provided for existing shareholders
of a Fund.
Payments
pursuant to the Plans are subject to any applicable limitations imposed by FINRA rules.
See
Appendix M for a list of the amounts paid by each class of shares of each Fund to Invesco Distributors
pursuant to the Plans for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, and Appendix N for an estimate by category of the allocation of actual
fees paid by each class of shares of each Fund pursuant to its respective distribution plan for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022.
As
required by Rule 12b-1, the Plans were approved by a majority of the Board, including a majority of the trustees
who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial
interest in the operation of the Plans or in any agreements related to the Plans (the Rule 12b-1 Trustees). In approving the Plans in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1, the trustees considered various factors and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood
that the Plans would benefit each class of the Funds and its respective shareholders.
The
anticipated benefits that may result from the Plans with respect to each Fund and/or the classes of each
Fund and its shareholders include but are not limited to the following: (i) an increase in assets which may result in a diversified shareholder
base, thereby reducing the outflow risk to other shareholders in the Funds; (ii) an increase in assets which may reduce expenses as fixed
dollar costs are allocated across a larger asset base and/or allow a Fund to reach advisory fee breakpoints; and (iii) increased scale
could increase the likelihood of name recognition and the profile of a Fund in its asset space, thereby improving the momentum for asset
generation.
Unless
terminated earlier in accordance with their terms, the Plans continue from year to year as long as such
continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees. A Plan may be terminated
at any time in whole or with respect to a Fund or class by the vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or by the vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of that class.
Any
amendment to the Plans that would increase materially the distribution expenses paid by the applicable
class requires shareholder approval; otherwise, the Plans may be amended by the trustees, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees,
by votes cast at a meeting called for the purpose of voting upon such amendment. As long as the Plans are in effect, the Board shall satisfy
the fund governance standards as defined in Rule 0-1(a)(7) under the 1940 Act.
The
Compensation Plans obligate the Funds to pay Invesco Distributors the full amount of the distribution and
service fees reflected on the schedules to those plans. Thus, even if Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses
exceeds the fee payable to Invesco Distributors at any given time, under the Compensation Plan, the Funds will not be obligated to pay
more than that fee. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses is less than the fee it receives, under the Compensation
Plan, Invesco Distributors will retain the full amount of the fee.
The
Reimbursement Plans obligate the Funds to pay Invesco Distributors up to the lesser of (i) the amount
of the distribution and/or service fees reflected on the schedules to those plans and (ii) the actual costs of the distribution and/or
shareholder servicing services provided by or through Invesco Distributors. Reimbursement will be made through payments made periodically
on such basis as reflected in the Reimbursement Plans by the Funds to Invesco Distributors. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated
share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Reimbursement Plans for the period exceeds the annual cap reflected on the schedule to the
Plan, a Fund will not be obligated to pay more than the annual cap. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses
incurred pursuant to the Reimbursement Plans for the period is less than the annual cap, Invesco Distributors is entitled to be reimbursed
only for its actual allocated share of expenses.
Invesco
Distributors may from time to time waive or reduce any portion of its 12b-1 fee. Voluntary fee waivers
or reductions may be rescinded at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers or reductions,
Invesco Distributors will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the end of the respective fiscal year in which the
voluntary fee waiver or reduction was made.
The
Funds may pay a service fee of up to the cap disclosed in each Fund’s Plan and in any case no greater
than 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, Class R and Investor Class
shares,
0.15% of the average daily net assets of Class S shares, and 0.10% of the average daily net assets of
Class P shares, attributable to the customers’ selected dealers and financial institutions to such dealers and financial institutions,
including Invesco Distributors, acting as principal, who furnish continuing personal shareholder services and/or maintenance of accounts
to their customers who purchase and own the applicable class of shares of the Fund. Under the terms of a shareholder service agreement,
such personal shareholder services and/or maintenance of accounts may include, but are not limited to, assisting in establishing and maintaining
customer accounts and records, assisting with purchase and redemption requests, arranging for bank wires, monitoring dividend payments
from a Fund on behalf of customers, forwarding certain shareholder communications from a Fund to customers, receiving and answering correspondence,
aiding in maintaining the investment of their respective customers in a Fund and providing such other information and services as reasonably
requested. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under each Plan would constitute an asset-based sales charge.
The
Funds may agree to pay fees to selected dealers and other institutions who render the foregoing services
to their customers subject to an agreement. Fees shall be paid only to those selected dealers or other institutions who are dealers or
institutions of record at the close of business on the last business day of the applicable payment period for the account in which such
Fund’s shares are held.
Selected
dealers and other institutions entitled to receive compensation for selling Fund shares may receive
different compensation for selling shares of one particular class over another. Under the Plans, certain financial institutions which
have entered into service agreements and which sell shares of the Funds, may receive payments from the Funds pursuant to the Plans in
an amount not to exceed the maximum annual rate to be paid to Invesco Distributors under the Plans. These payments are an obligation of
the Funds and not of Invesco Distributors.
Because
of fluctuations in net asset value, the Plans’ fees with respect to a particular Class C share may be
greater or less than the amount of the initial commission (including carrying cost) paid by Invesco Distributors with respect to such
share. In such circumstances, a shareholder of a share may be deemed to incur expenses attributable to other shareholders of such class.
FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The
audited financial statements for the Funds’ most recent fiscal year ended August
31, 2022, including the notes thereto and the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP thereon, are incorporated by reference to the annual report to shareholders contained in the Funds’ Form N-CSR filed on November
4, 2022.
The
portions of such annual and semi-annual reports that are not specifically listed above are not incorporated
by reference into this SAI and are not a part of this Registration Statement.
APPENDIX
A - RATINGS OF DEBT SECURITIES
The
following is a description of the factors underlying the debt ratings of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch.
Moody's
Long-Term Debt Ratings
Aaa:
Obligations rated 'Aaa' are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.
Aa:
Obligations rated 'Aa' are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
A:
Obligations rated 'A' are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
Baa:
Obligations rated 'Baa' are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative
characteristics.
Ba:
Obligations rated 'Ba' are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.
B:
Obligations rated 'B' are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
Caa:
Obligations rated 'Caa' are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
Ca:
Obligations rated 'Ca' are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and
interest.
C:
Obligations rated 'C' are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
Note:
Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that
the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier
3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Additionally, a “(hyb)” indicator is appended to
all ratings of hybrid securities issued by banks, insurers, finance companies, and securities firms*.
*
By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends, interest, or principal payments, which can potentially
result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid securities may also be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal
that could result in impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security is
an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security.
Moody's
Short-Term Prime Rating System
P-1:
Ratings of
Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term obligations.
P-2:
Ratings of
Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term obligations.
P-3:
Ratings of
Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.
NP
(Not Prime): Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime
do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.
Moody's
MIG/VMIG US Short-Term Ratings
Short-Term
Obligation Ratings
We
use the global short-term Prime rating scale for commercial paper issued by US municipalities and nonprofits.
These commercial paper programs may be backed by external letters of credit or liquidity facilities, or by an issuer’s self-liquidity.
For
other short-term municipal obligations, we use one of two other short-term rating scales, the Municipal Investment
Grade (MIG) and Variable Municipal Investment Grade (VMIG) scales discussed below.
We
use the MIG scale for US municipal cash flow notes, bond anticipation notes and certain other short-term
obligations, which typically mature in three years or less. Under certain circumstances, we use the MIG scale for bond anticipation notes
with maturities of up to five years.
MIG
1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent
protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market
for refinancing.
MIG
2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection
are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
MIG
3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity
and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
SG:
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
Demand
Obligation Ratings
In
the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned. The components
are a long-term rating and a short-term demand obligation rating. The long-term rating addresses the issuer’s ability to meet scheduled
principal and interest payments. The short-term demand obligation rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider
to make payments associated with the purchase-price-upon-demand feature (“demand feature”) of the VRDO. The short-term demand
obligation rating uses the VMIG scale. VMIG ratings with liquidity support use as an input the short-term Counterparty Risk Assessment
of the support provider, or the long-term rating of the underlying obligor in the absence of third party liquidity support. Transitions
of VMIG ratings of demand obligations with conditional liquidity support differ from transitions on the Prime scale to reflect the risk
that external liquidity support will terminate if the issuer’s long-term rating drops below investment grade. Please see our methodology
that discusses demand obligations with conditional liquidity support.
We
typically assign the VMIG short-term demand obligation rating if the frequency of the demand feature is
less than every three years. If the frequency of the demand feature is less than three years but the purchase price is payable only with
remarketing proceeds, the short-term demand obligation rating is “NR”.
VMIG
1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent
protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.
VMIG
2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection
is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.
VMIG
3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate
protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.
SG:
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider
that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural or legal protections.
Standard
& Poor's Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings
Issue
credit ratings are based, in varying degrees, on S&P Global Ratings’ analysis of the following considerations:
•
The
likelihood of payment--the capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with
the terms of the obligation;
•
The
nature and provisions of the financial obligation, and the promise we impute; and
•
The
protection afforded by, and relative position of, the financial obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement
under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
Issue
ratings are an assessment of default risk but may incorporate an assessment of relative seniority or ultimate
recovery in the event of default. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above. (Such differentiation may apply when an entity has both senior and subordinated obligations, secured and
unsecured obligations, or operating company and holding company obligations.)
AAA:
An obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments
on the obligation is extremely strong.
AA:
An obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation is very strong.
A:
An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations
in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.
BBB:
An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to weaken the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
BB,
B, CCC, CC and C: Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC' 'CC', and
'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest.
While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or
major exposure to adverse conditions.
BB:
An obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties
or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation.
B:
An obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity
or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CCC:
An obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions
for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions,
the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CC:
An obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but
S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.
C:
An obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority
or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.
D:
An obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category
is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be
made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar
days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an
obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. An obligation's rating is lowered to 'D' if it is subject
to a distressed exchange offer.
Plus
(+) or minus (-): The ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified
by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
NR:
This indicates that no rating has been requested, or that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P
Global Ratings does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.
Standard
& Poor's Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings
A-1:
A short-term obligation rated 'A-1' is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates
that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong.
A-2:
A short-term obligation rated 'A-2' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions
than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3:
A short-term obligation rated 'A-3' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B:
A short-term obligation rated 'B' is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has
the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate
capacity to meet its financial commitments.
C:
A short-term obligation rated 'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments
on the obligation.
D:
A short-term obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments
will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business
days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on
an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it
is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.
Standard
& Poor's Municipal Short-Term Note Ratings Definitions
An
S&P Global Ratings U.S. municipal note rating reflects S&P Global Ratings’ opinion about the liquidity factors
and market access risks unique to the notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes with an original
maturity of more than three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. In determining which type of rating, if any, to assign,
S&P Global Ratings’ analysis will review the following considerations:
•
Amortization
schedule -- the larger final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and
•
Source
of payment -- the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.
Note
rating symbols are as follows:
SP-1:
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus
(+) designation.
SP-2:
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of
the notes.
SP-3:
Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
D:
‘D’ is assigned upon failure to pay the note when due, completion of a distressed exchange offer, or the filing of a bankruptcy
petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay
provisions.
Standard
& Poor's Dual Ratings
Dual
ratings may be assigned to debt issues that have a put option or demand feature. The first component
of the rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second component of the rating addresses
only the demand feature. The first component of the rating can relate to either a short-term or long-term transaction and accordingly
use either short-term or long-term rating symbols. The second component of the rating relates to the put option and is assigned a short-term
rating symbol (for example, 'AAA/A-1+' or 'A-1+/A-1'). With U.S. municipal short-term demand debt, the U.S. municipal short-term note
rating symbols are used for the first component of the rating (for example, 'SP-1+/A-1+').
Fitch
Credit Rating Scales
Fitch
Ratings publishes credit ratings that are forward-looking opinions
on the relative ability of an entity or obligation to meet financial commitments. Issuer default ratings
(IDRs)
are assigned to corporations, sovereign entities, financial institutions
such as banks, leasing companies and insurers, and public finance entities (local and regional governments). Issue level ratings are also
assigned, often include an expectation of recovery and may be notched above or below the issuer level rating. Issue ratings are assigned
to secured and unsecured debt securities, loans, preferred stock and other instruments, Structured finance ratings are issue ratings to
securities backed by receivables or other financial assets that consider the obligations’ relative vulnerability to default. Credit
ratings are indications of the likelihood of repayment in accordance with the terms of the issuance. In limited cases, Fitch may include
additional considerations (i.e., rate to a higher or lower standard than that implied in the obligation’s documentation). Please
see the section Specific Limitations Relating to Credit Rating Scales for details. Fitch Ratings also publishes other ratings, scores
and opinions. For example, Fitch provides specialized ratings of servicers of residential and commercial mortgages, asset managers and
funds. In each case, users should refer to the definitions of each individual scale for guidance on the dimensions of risk covered in
each assessment.
Fitch’s
credit rating scale for issuers and issues is expressed using the
categories
‘AAA’ to
‘BBB’ (investment
grade) and
‘BB’
to
‘D’
(speculative grade)
with an additional
+/-for AA through CCC levels indicating relative differences of
probability of default or recovery for issues.
The
terms “investment grade” and “speculative grade” are
market conventions and do not imply any recommendation or endorsement of a specific security for investment purposes. Investment grade
categories indicate relatively low to moderate credit risk, while ratings in the speculative categories signal either a higher level of
credit risk or that a default has already occurred.
Fitch
may also disclose issues relating to a rated issuer that are not and have not been rated. Such issues are also denoted as ‘NR’
on its web page.
Credit
ratings express risk in relative rank order, which is to say they are ordinal measures of credit risk and
are not predictive of a specific frequency of default or loss. For information about the historical performance of ratings, please refer
to Fitch’s Ratings Transition and Default studies, which detail the historical default rates. The European Securities and Markets
Authority also maintains a central repository of historical default rates. Fitch’s credit ratings do not directly address any risk
other than credit risk. Credit ratings do not deal with the risk of market value loss due to changes in interest rates, liquidity and/or
other market considerations. However, market risk may be considered to the extent that it influences the ability of an issuer to pay or
refinance a financial commitment. Ratings nonetheless do not reflect market risk to the extent that they influence the size or other conditionality
of the obligation to pay upon a commitment (for example, in the case of index-linked bonds).
Fitch
will use credit rating scales to provide ratings to privately issued obligations or certain note issuance
programs,
or for private ratings using the same public scale and criteria.
Private ratings are not published,
and are only provided
to the issuer or its agents
in the form of a rating letter.
The primary credit rating scales may also be used to provide ratings
for a narrower scope, including
interest strips
and return of principal or in other forms of opinions such as Credit Opinions
or
Rating
Assessment
Services.
Fitch
Long-Term Rating Scales
Issuer
Default Ratings
Rated
entities in a number of sectors, including financial and non-financial corporations, sovereigns, insurance
companies and certain sectors within public finance, are generally assigned Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs). IDRs are also assigned to certain
entities in global infrastructure and project finance. IDRs opine on an entity's relative vulnerability to default on financial obligations.
The threshold default risk addressed by the IDR is generally that of the financial obligations whose non-payment would best reflect the
uncured failure of that entity. As such, IDRs also address relative vulnerability to bankruptcy, administrative receivership or similar
concepts.
In
aggregate, IDRs provide an ordinal ranking of issuers based on the agency's view of their relative vulnerability
to default, rather than a prediction of a specific percentage likelihood of default.
AAA:
Highest credit quality.
'AAA'
ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally
strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA:
Very high credit quality.
'AA'
ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial
commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
A:
High credit quality.
'A'
ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB:
Good credit quality.
'BBB'
ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
BB:
Speculative.
'BB'
ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in
business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial
commitments.
B:
Highly speculative.
'B'
ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments
are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.
CCC:
Substantial credit risk.
Default
is a real possibility.
CC:
Very high levels of credit risk.
Default
of some kind appears probable.
C:
Near default
A
default or default-like process has begun, or the issuer is in standstill, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment
capacity is irrevocably impaired. Conditions that are indicative of a 'C' category rating for an issuer include:
a.
the issuer has entered into a grace or cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
b.
the issuer has entered into a temporary negotiated waiver or standstill agreement following a payment default on a material financial
obligation; or
c.
the formal announcement by the issuer or their agent of a distressed debt exchange;
d.
a closed financing vehicle where payment capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal
in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent
RD:
Restricted default.
‘RD’
ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch’s opinion has experienced:
a.
an uncured payment default or distressed debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but
b.
has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and
c.
has not otherwise ceased operating.
This
would include:
i.
the selective payment default on a specific class or currency of debt;
ii.
the uncured expiry of any applicable grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan,
capital markets security or other material financial obligation;
iii.
the extension of multiple waivers or forbearance periods upon a payment default on one or more material financial obligations, either
in series or in parallel; ordinary execution of a distressed debt exchange on one or more material financial obligations.
D:
Default.
'D'
ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch Ratings' opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration,
receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or which has otherwise ceased business.
Default
ratings are not assigned prospectively to entities or their obligations; within this context, non-payment
on an instrument that contains a deferral feature or grace period will generally not be considered a default until after the expiration
of the deferral or grace period, unless a default is otherwise driven by bankruptcy or other similar circumstance, or by a distressed
debt exchange.
In
all cases, the assignment of a default rating reflects the agency's opinion as to the most appropriate rating
category consistent with the rest of its universe of ratings and may differ from the definition of default under the terms of an issuer's
financial obligations or local commercial practice.
Notes
The
modifiers + or - may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such
suffixes are not added to the 'AAA' Long-Term IDR category, or to Long-Term IDR categories below 'B'.
Fitch
Short-Term Ratings Assigned to Issuers and Obligations
A
short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated
entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation.
Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-Term Ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is
viewed as "short term" based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations
and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets.
F1:
Highest Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates the strongest intrinsic
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.
F2:
Good Short-Term Credit Quality. Good intrinsic capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments.
F3:
Fair Short-Term Credit Quality. The intrinsic capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments is adequate.
B:
Speculative Short-Term Credit Quality. Minimal capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
C:
High Short-Term Default Risk. Default is a real possibility.
RD:
Restricted Default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one
or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically applicable to entity ratings
only.
D:
Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or
the default of a short-term obligation.

APPENDIX
E - PROXY POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Invesco’s
Policy Statement on Global Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting
The
Adviser and each sub-adviser rely on this policy. In addition, Invesco Asset Management (Japan)
Limited and Invesco Asset Management (India) Pvt. Ltd. have also adopted operating guidelines and procedures for proxy voting particular
to each regional investment center. Such guidelines and procedures are attached hereto.
Invesco’s
Policy Statement on Global
Corporate Governance and
Proxy Voting
Effective
January 2022
Invesco
Ltd. and its affiliated investment advisers (collectively, “Invesco”, the “Company”, “our” or
“we”) has adopted and implemented this Policy Statement on Global Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting (“Policy”)
which it believes describes policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of its
clients. This Policy is intended to help Invesco’s clients understand our commitment to responsible investing and proxy voting,
as well as the good governance principles that inform our approach to engagement and voting at shareholder meetings.
A.
Our Commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance Investment Stewardship and
Proxy Voting
Our
commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles is a core element of our ambition to be the most client centric asset
manager. We aspire to incorporate ESG considerations into all of our investment capabilities in the context of financial materiality and
in the best interest of our clients. In our role as stewards of our clients’ investments, we regard our stewardship activities,
including engagement and the exercise of proxy voting rights as an essential component of our fiduciary duty to maximize long-term shareholder
value. Our Global ESG team functions as a center of excellence, providing specialist insights on research, engagement, voting, integration,
tools, and client and product solutions with investment teams implementing ESG approaches appropriate to asset class and investment style.
Much of our work is rooted in fundamental research and frequent dialogue with companies during due diligence and monitoring of our investments.
Invesco
views proxy voting as an integral part of its investment management responsibilities. The proxy voting process at Invesco focuses on protecting
clients’ rights and promoting governance structures and practices that reinforce the accountability of corporate management and
boards of directors to shareholders. The voting decision lies with our portfolio managers and analysts with input and support from our
Global ESG team and Proxy Operations functions. Our proprietary proxy voting platform (“PROXYintel”) facilitates implementation
of voting decisions and rationales across global investment teams. Our good governance principles, governance structure and processes
are designed to ensure that proxy votes are cast in accordance with clients’ best interests.
As
a large active investor, Invesco is well placed to use our ESG expertise and beliefs to engage directly with portfolio companies or by
collaborative means in ways which drive corporate change that we believe will enhance shareholder value. We take our responsibility as
active owners very seriously and see engagement as an opportunity to encourage continual improvement and ensure that our clients’
interests are represented and protected. Dialogue with portfolio companies is a core part of the investment process. Invesco may engage
with investee companies to discuss environmental, social and governance issues throughout the year or on specific ballot items to be voted
on.
Our
passive strategies and certain other client accounts managed in accordance with fixed income, money market and index strategies (including
exchange traded funds) will typically vote in line with the majority holder of the active-equity shares held by Invesco outside of those
strategies. Invesco refers to this approach as “Majority Voting”. This process of Majority Voting ensures that our passive
strategies benefit from the engagement and deep dialogue of our active investors, which Invesco believes benefits shareholders in passively-managed
accounts. In the absence of overlap between the active and passive holders, the passive holders vote in line with our internally developed
voting guidelines (as defined below). Portfolio managers and analysts for accounts employing Majority Voting retain full discretion to
override Majority Voting and to vote the shares as they determine to be in the best interest of those accounts, absent certain types of
conflicts of interest, which are discussed elsewhere in this Policy.
B.
Applicability of Policy
Invesco
may be granted by its clients the authority to vote the proxies of securities held in client portfolios. Invesco’s investment teams
vote proxies on behalf of Invesco-sponsored funds and both fund and non-fund advisory clients that have explicitly granted Invesco authority
in writing to vote proxies on their behalf. In the case of institutional or sub-advised clients, Invesco will vote the proxies in
accordance
with this Policy unless the client agreement specifies that the client retains the right to vote or has designated a named fiduciary to
direct voting.
This
Policy applies to all entities in Exhibit A. Due to regional or asset-class specific considerations, there may be certain entities that
have local proxy voting guidelines or policies and procedures that differ from this Policy. In the event that local policies and the Global
Policy differ, the local policy will apply. These entities are also listed in Exhibit A and include proxy voting guidelines specific to:
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Asset Management (India) Pvt. Ltd, Invesco Taiwan Ltd and Invesco Capital Markets, Inc.
for Invesco Unit Investment Trusts. In Europe, we comply with the Shareholder Rights Directive and publish our disclosures and voting
practices in this regard.
II.
GLOBAL
PROXY VOTING OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
Invesco’s
global proxy voting operational procedures are in place to implement the provisions of this Policy (the “Procedures”). At
Invesco, proxy voting is conducted by our investment teams through PROXYintel. Our investment teams globally are supported by Invesco’s
centralized team of ESG professionals and proxy voting specialists. Invesco’s Global ESG team oversees the proxy policy, operational
procedures, inputs to analysis and research and leads the Global Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee (“Global IPAC”). Invesco’s
global proxy services team is responsible for operational implementation, including vote execution oversight.
Invesco
aims to vote all proxies where we have been granted voting authority in accordance with this Policy as implemented by the Procedures.
Our portfolio managers and analysts review voting items based on their individual merits and retain full discretion on vote execution
conducted through our proprietary proxy voting platform. Invesco may supplement its internal research with information from independent
third-parties, such as proxy advisory firms.
A.
Proprietary Proxy Voting Platform
Invesco’s
proprietary proxy voting platform is supported by a dedicated team of internal proxy specialists. PROXYintel streamlines the proxy voting
process by providing our investment teams globally with direct access to meeting information and proxies, external proxy research and
ESG ratings, as well as related functions, such as management of conflicts of interest issues, significant votes, global reporting and
record-keeping capabilities. Managing these processes internally, as opposed to relying on third parties, is designed to provide Invesco
greater quality control, oversight and independence in the proxy administration process.
Historical
proxy voting information is stored to build institutional knowledge across the Invesco complex with respect to individual companies and
proxy issues. Certain investment teams also use PROXYintel to access third-party proxy research and ESG ratings.
Our
proprietary systems facilitate internal control and oversight of the voting process. Invesco may choose to leverage this capability to
automatically vote proxies based on its internally developed custom voting guidelines and in circumstances where Majority Voting applies.
B.
Oversight of Voting Operations
Invesco’s
Proxy Governance and Voting Manager provides oversight of the proxy voting verification processes facilitated by a dedicated global proxy
services team which include: (i) the monthly global vote audit review of votes cast containing documented rationales of conflicts of interest
votes, market and operational limitations; (ii) the quarterly sampling of proxy votes cast to determine that (a) Invesco is voting consistently
with this Policy and (b) third-party proxy advisory firms’ methodologies in formulating the vote recommendation are consistent
with their publicly disclosed guidelines; and (iii) quarterly review of rationales with the Global IPAC of occasions where a portfolio
manager may take a position that may not be in accordance with Invesco’s good governance principles and our internally developed
voting guidelines.
To
the extent material errors are identified in the proxy voting process, such errors are reviewed and reported to, as appropriate, the Global
Head of ESG, Global Proxy Governance and Voting Manager,
legal
and compliance, the Global IPAC and relevant boards and clients, where applicable. Invesco’s Global Head of ESG and Proxy Governance
and Voting Manager provide proxy voting updates and reporting to the Global IPAC, various boards and clients. Invesco’s proxy voting
administration and operations are subject to periodic review by Internal Audit and Compliance groups.
C.
Disclosures and Record Keeping
Unless
otherwise required by local or regional requirements, Invesco maintains voting records in either electronic format or hard copy for at
least 6 years. Invesco makes available its proxy voting records publicly in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best
practices in the regions below:
•
In
accordance with the US Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Invesco will file a record of all proxy voting activity for the
prior 12 months ending June 30th for each U.S. registered fund. That filing is made on or before August 31st of each year. Each year,
the proxy voting records are made available on Invesco’s website here.
Moreover, and to the extent applicable, the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”),
including Department of Labor regulations and guidance thereunder, provide that the named fiduciary generally should be able to review
not only the investment manager's voting procedure with respect to plan-owned stock, but also to review the actions taken in individual
proxy voting situations. In the case of institutional and sub-advised Clients, Clients may contact their client service representative
to request information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf. Absent specific contractual guidelines, such requests may be made
on a semi-annual basis.
•
In
the UK and Europe, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes monthly in compliance with the UK Stewardship Code and for the European
Shareholder Rights Directive annually here.
•
In
Canada, Invesco publicly discloses our annual proxy votes each year here by August 31st, covering the 12-month period ending June 30th

listed equities. SEBI has implemented principles on voting for Mutual Funds through circulars dated March 15, 2010 and March 24, 2014,
which prescribed detailed mandatory requirements for Mutual Funds in India to disclose their voting policies and actual voting by Mutual
Funds on different resolutions of investee companies.

D.
Global Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee
Guided
by its philosophy that investment teams should manage proxy voting, Invesco has created the Global IPAC. The Global IPAC is an investments-driven
committee comprised of representatives from various investment management teams globally, Invesco’s Global Head of ESG and chaired
by its Global Proxy Governance and Voting Manager. The Global IPAC provides a forum for investment teams to monitor, understand and discuss
key proxy issues and voting trends within the Invesco complex, to
assist
Invesco in meeting regulatory obligations, to review votes not aligned with our good governance principles and to consider conflicts of
interest in the proxy voting process, all in accordance with this Policy.
In
fulfilling its responsibilities, the Global IPAC meets as necessary, but no less than semi-annually, and has the following responsibilities
and functions: (i) acts as a key liaison between the Global ESG team and local proxy voting practices to ensure compliance with this Policy;
(ii) provides insight on market trends as it relates to stewardship practices; (iii) monitors proxy votes that present potential conflicts
of interest; (iv) the Conflict of Interest sub-committee will make voting decisions on submissions made by portfolio managers on conflict
of interest issues to override the Policy; and (v) reviews and provides input, at least annually, on this Policy and related internal
procedures and recommends any changes to the Policy based on, but not limited to, Invesco’s experience, evolving industry practices,
or developments in applicable laws or regulations.
In
addition to the Global IPAC, for some clients, third parties (e.g., U.S. fund boards) provide oversight of the proxy voting process.
E.
Market and Operational Limitations
In
the great majority of instances, Invesco will vote proxies. However, in certain circumstances, Invesco may refrain from voting where the
economic or other opportunity costs of voting exceeds any benefit to clients. Moreover, ERISA fiduciaries, in voting proxies or exercising
other shareholder rights, must not subordinate the economic interests of plan participants and beneficiaries to unrelated objectives.
These matters are left to the discretion of the relevant portfolio manager. Such circumstances could include, for example:
•
In
some countries the exercise of voting rights imposes temporary transfer restrictions on the related securities (“share blocking”).
Invesco generally refrains from voting proxies in share blocking countries unless Invesco determines that the benefit to the client(s)
of voting a specific proxy outweighs the client’s temporary inability to sell the security.
•
Some
companies require a representative to attend meetings in person to vote a proxy, additional documentation or the disclosure of beneficial
owner details to vote. Invesco may determine that the costs of sending a representative, signing a power-of-attorney or submitting additional
disclosures outweigh the benefit of voting a particular proxy.
•
Invesco
may not receive proxy materials from the relevant fund or client custodian with sufficient time and information to make an informed independent
voting decision.
•
Invesco
held shares on the record date but has sold them prior to the meeting date.
In
some non-U.S. jurisdictions, although Invesco uses reasonable efforts to vote a proxy, proxies may not be accepted or may be rejected
due to changes in the agenda for a shareholder meeting for which Invesco does not have sufficient notice, due to a proxy voting service
not being offered by the custodian in the local market or due to operational issues experienced by third-parties involved in the process
or by the issuer or sub-custodian. In addition, despite the best efforts of Invesco and its proxy voting agent, there may be instances
where our votes may not be received or properly tabulated by an issuer or the issuer’s agent.
F.
Securities Lending
Invesco’s
funds may participate in a securities lending program. In circumstances where shares are on loan, the voting rights of those shares are
transferred to the borrower. If the security in question is on loan as part of a securities lending program, Invesco may determine that
the benefit to the client of voting a particular proxy outweighs the benefits of securities lending. In those instances, Invesco may determine
to recall securities that are on loan prior to the meeting record date, so that we will be entitled to vote those shares. There may be
instances where Invesco may be unable to recall shares or may choose not to recall shares. The relevant portfolio manager will make these
determinations.
G.
Conflicts of Interest
There
may be occasions where voting proxies may present a perceived or actual conflict of interest between Invesco, as investment manager, and
one or more of Invesco’s clients or vendors.
Firm-Level
Conflicts of interest
A
conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a material business relationship with either the company soliciting a proxy or a third party
that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote. Such
relationships may include, among others, a client relationship, serving as a vendor whose products / services are material or significant
to Invesco, serving as a distributor of Invesco’s products, a significant research provider or broker to Invesco.
Invesco
identifies potential conflicts of interest based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the materiality of the relationship
between the issuer or its affiliates to Invesco.
Material
firm-level conflicts of interests are identified by individuals and groups within Invesco globally based on criteria established by the
global proxy services team. These criteria are monitored and updated periodically by the global proxy services team so as to seek to ensure
an updated view is available when conducting conflicts checks. Operating procedures and associated governance are designed to seek to
ensure conflicts of interest are appropriately considered ahead of voting proxies. The Global IPAC Conflict of Interest Sub-committee
maintains oversight of the process. Companies identified as conflicted will be voted in line with the principles below as implemented
by Invesco’s internally developed voting guidelines. To the extent a portfolio manager disagrees with the Policy, our processes
and procedures seek to ensure justification and rationales are fully documented and presented to the Global IPAC Conflict of Interest
Sub-committee for approval by a majority vote.
As
an additional safeguard, persons from Invesco’s marketing, distribution and other customer-facing functions may not serve on the
Global IPAC. For the avoidance of doubt, Invesco may not consider Invesco Ltd.’s pecuniary interest when voting proxies on behalf
of clients. To avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, Invesco will not vote proxies issued by Invesco Ltd. that may be held in
client accounts.
Personal
Conflicts of Interest
A
conflict also may exist where an Invesco employee has a known personal or business relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals,
participants in proxy contests, corporate directors, or candidates for directorships. Under Invesco’s Global Code of Conduct, Invesco
entities and individuals must act in the best interests of clients and must avoid any situation that gives rise to an actual or perceived
conflict of interest.
All
Invesco personnel with proxy voting responsibilities are required to report any known personal or business conflicts of interest regarding
proxy issues with which they are involved. In such instances, the individual(s) with the conflict will be excluded from the decision-making
process relating to such issues.
Voting
Fund of Funds
There
may be conflicts that can arise from Invesco voting on matters when shares of Invesco-sponsored funds are held by other Invesco funds
or entities. The scenarios below set out how Invesco votes in these instances.
•
In
the United States, as required by law, proportional voting applies.
•
Shares
of an Invesco-sponsored fund held by other Invesco funds will be voted in the same proportion as the votes of external shareholders of
the underlying fund, where required by law.
•
Shares
of an unaffiliated registered fund held by one or more Invesco funds will be voted
in the
same proportion as the votes of external shareholders of the underlying fund where the thresholds are met as required by federal securities
law or any exemption therefrom.
•
To
the extent proportional voting is required by law but not operationally possible, Invesco will not vote the shares.
•
For
US fund of funds where proportional voting is not required by law, Invesco will still apply proportional voting. In the event this is
not operationally possible, Invesco will vote in line with our internally developed voting guidelines (as defined below).
•
For
non-US fund of funds Invesco will vote in line with our above-mentioned firm-level conflicts of interest process unless local policies
are in place as per Exhibit A.
H.
Use of Third-Party Proxy Advisory Services
Invesco
may supplement its internal research with information from independent third-parties, such as proxy advisory firms, to assist us in assessing
the corporate governance of investee companies. Globally, Invesco leverages research from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”)
and Glass Lewis (“GL”). Invesco generally retains full and independent discretion with respect to proxy voting decisions.
ISS
and GL both provide research reports, including vote recommendations, to Invesco and its portfolio managers and analysts. Invesco retains
ISS to provide written analysis and recommendations based on Invesco’s internally developed custom voting guidelines. Updates to
previously issued proxy research reports may be provided to incorporate newly available information or additional disclosure provided
by the issuer regarding a matter to be voted on, or to correct factual errors that may result in the issuance of revised proxy vote recommendations.
Invesco’s global proxy services team may periodically monitor for these research alerts issued by ISS and GL that are shared with
our investment teams. Invesco will generally endeavor to consider such information where such information is considered material provided
it is delivered in a timely manner ahead of the vote deadline.
Invesco
also retains ISS to assist in the implementation of certain proxy voting-related functions, including, but not limited to, operational
and reporting services. These
administrative services include receipt of proxy ballots, vote execution through PROXYintel and vote disclosure in Canada, the UK and
Europe to meet regulatory reporting obligations.
As
part of its fiduciary obligation to clients, Invesco performs extensive initial and ongoing due diligence on the proxy advisory firms
it engages globally. This includes reviews of information regarding the capabilities of their research staff, methodologies for formulating
voting recommendations, the adequacy and quality of personnel and technology, as applicable, and internal controls, policies and procedures,
including those relating to possible conflicts of interest.
The
proxy advisory firms Invesco engages globally complete an annual due diligence questionnaire submitted by Invesco, and Invesco conducts
annual due diligence meetings in part to discuss their responses to the questionnaire. In addition, Invesco monitors and communicates
with these firms and monitors their compliance with Invesco’s performance and policy standards. ISS and GL disclose conflicts to
Invesco through a review of their policies, procedures and practices regarding potential conflicts of interests (including inherent internal
conflicts) as well as disclosure of the work ISS and GL perform for corporate issuers and the payments they receive from such issuers.
As part of
our annual policy development process, Invesco engages with external proxy and governance experts to understand market trends and developments
and to weigh in on
the development of these policies at these firms, where appropriate. These meetings provide Invesco with an opportunity to assess the
firms’ capabilities, conflicts of interest and service levels, as well as provide investment professionals with direct insight
into the advisory firms’ stances on key governance and proxy topics and their policy framework/methodologies.
Invesco
completes a review of the System and Organizational Controls (“SOC”) Reports for each proxy advisory firm to ensure the
related controls operated effectively to provide reasonable assurance.
In
addition to ISS and GL, Invesco may use regional third-party research providers to access regionally specific research.
I.
Review of Policy
The
Global IPAC and Invesco’s Global ESG team, global proxy services team, compliance and legal teams annually communicate and review
this Policy and our internally developed custom voting guidelines to seek to ensure that they remain consistent with clients’ best
interests, regulatory requirements, investment team considerations, governance trends and industry best practices. At least annually,
this Policy and our internally developed voting guidelines are reviewed by various groups within Invesco to ensure that they remain consistent
with Invesco’s views on best practice in corporate governance and long-term investment stewardship.
III.
OUR
GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES
Invesco’s
good governance principles outline our views on best practice in corporate governance and long-term investment stewardship. These principles
have been developed by our global investment teams in collaboration with the Global ESG team. The broad philosophy and guiding principles
in this section inform our approach to long-term investment stewardship and proxy voting. These principles are not intended to be exhaustive
or prescriptive.
Our
portfolio managers and analysts retain full discretion on vote execution in the context of our good governance principles and internally
developed custom voting guidelines, except where otherwise specified in this Policy. The final voting decisions may consider the unique
circumstances affecting companies, regional best practices and any dialogue we have had with company management. As a result, different
Portfolio Management Teams may vote differently on particular votes for the same company. To the extent a portfolio manager chooses to
vote a proxy in a way that is not aligned with the principles below, such manager’s rationales are fully documented.
The
following guiding principles apply to operating companies. We apply a separate approach to open-end and closed-end investment companies
and unit investment trusts. Where appropriate, these guidelines are supplemented by additional internal guidance that considers regional
variations in best practices, disclosure and region-specific voting items.
Our
good governance principles are divided into six key themes that Invesco endorses.
The
following are high-level governance principles that Invesco endorses:
A.
Transparency
We
expect companies to provide accurate, timely and complete information that enables investors to make informed investment decisions and
effectively carry out their stewardship activities. Invesco supports the highest standards in corporate transparency
and believes that these disclosures should be made available ahead
of the voting deadlines for the Annual General Meeting or Extraordinary General Meeting to allow for timely decision-making.
Financial
reporting: Company accounts and reporting must accurately reflect
the underlying economic position of a company. Arrangements that may constitute an actual or perceived conflict with this objective should
be avoided.
•
We
will generally support proposals to accept the annual financial statements, statutory accounts and similar proposals unless these reports
are not presented in a timely manner or significant issues are identified regarding the integrity of these disclosures.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent audit committee chair, or nearest equivalent, where the non-audit fees paid to the independent
auditor exceed audit fees for two consecutive years
or other
problematic accounting practices are identified such as fraud, misapplication of audit standards or persistent material weaknesses/deficiencies
in internal controls over financial reporting.
•
We
will generally not support the ratification of the independent auditor and/or ratification of their fees payable if non-audit fees exceed
audit and audit related fees or there are significant auditing controversies or questions regarding the independence of the external auditor.
We will consider an auditor’s length of service as a company’s independent auditor in applying this policy.
B.
Accountability
Robust
shareholder rights and strong board oversight help ensure that management adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct, are held
to account for poor performance and responsibly deliver value creation for stakeholders over the long-term. We therefore encourage companies
to adopt governance features that ensure board and management accountability. In particular, we consider the following as key mechanisms
for enhancing accountability to investors:
One
share one vote: Voting rights are an important tool for investors
to hold boards and management teams accountable. Unequal voting rights may limit the ability of investors to exercise their stewardship
obligations.
•
We
generally do not support proposals that establish or perpetuate dual classes of voting shares, double voting rights or other means of
differentiated voting or disproportionate board nomination rights.
•
We
generally support proposals to decommission differentiated voting rights.
•
Where
unequal voting rights are established, we expect these to be accompanied by reasonable safeguards to protect minority shareholders’
interests.
Anti-takeover
devices: Mechanisms designed to prevent or unduly delay takeover
attempts may unduly limit the accountability of boards and management teams to shareholders.
•
We
generally will not support proposals to adopt antitakeover devices such as poison pills. Exceptions may be warranted at entities without
significant operations and to preserve the value of net operating losses carried forward or where the applicability of the pill is limited
in scope and duration.
•
In
addition, we will generally not support capital authorizations or amendments to corporate articles or bylaws at operating companies that
may be utilized for antitakeover purposes, for example, the authorization of classes of shares of preferred stock with unspecified voting,
dividend, conversion or other rights (“blank check” authorizations).
Shareholder
rights: We support the rights of shareholders to hold boards and
management teams accountable for company performance. We generally support best practice aligned proposals to enhance shareholder rights,
including but not limited to the following:
•
Adoption
of proxy access rights
•
Rights
to call special meetings
•
Rights
to act by written consent
•
Reduce
supermajority vote requirements
•
Remove
antitakeover provisions
•
Requirement
that directors are elected by a majority vote
In
addition, we oppose practices that limit shareholders’ ability to express their views at a general meeting such as bundling unrelated
proposals or several significant article or bylaw amendments into a
single
voting item. We will generally vote against these proposals unless we are satisfied that all the underlying components are aligned with
our views on best practice.
Director
Indemnification: Invesco recognizes that individuals may be reluctant
to serve as corporate directors if they are personally liable for all related lawsuits and legal costs. As a result, reasonable limitations
on directors’ liability can benefit a company and its shareholders by helping to attract and retain qualified directors while preserving
recourse for shareholders in the event of misconduct by directors. Accordingly, unless there is insufficient information to make a decision
about the nature of the proposal, Invesco will generally support proposals to limit directors’ liability and provide indemnification
and/or exculpation, provided that the arrangements are reasonably limited in scope to directors acting in good faith and, in relation
to criminal matters, limited in scope to directors having reasonable grounds for believing the conduct was lawful.
Responsiveness:
Boards should respond to investor concerns in a timely fashion, including reasonable requests to engage with company representatives regarding
such concerns, and address matters that receive significant voting dissent at general meetings of shareholders.
•
We
will generally vote against the lead independent director and/or the incumbent chair of the governance committee, or nearest equivalent,
in cases where the board has not adequately responded to items receiving significant voting opposition from shareholders at an annual
or extraordinary general meeting.
•
We
will generally vote against the lead independent director and/or incumbent chair of the governance committee, or nearest equivalent, where
the board has not adequately responded to a shareholder proposal which has received significant support from shareholders.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent chair of the compensation committee if there are significant ongoing concerns with a company’s
compensation practices that have not been addressed by the committee or egregious concerns with the company’s compensation practices
for two years consecutively.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent compensation committee chair where there are ongoing concerns with a company’s compensation
practices and there is no opportunity to express dissatisfaction by voting against an advisory vote on executive compensation, remuneration
report (or policy) or nearest equivalent.
•
Where
a company has not adequately responded to engagement requests from Invesco or satisfactorily addressed issues of concern, we may oppose
director nominations, including, but not limited to, nominations for the lead independent director and/or committee chairs.
C.
Board Composition and Effectiveness
Director
election process: Board members should generally
stand for election annually and individually.
•
We
will generally support proposals requesting that directors stand for election annually.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent governance committee chair or lead independent director if a company has a classified board
structure that is not being phased out. We may make exceptions to this policy for non-operating companies
(e.g., open-end and closed-end funds) or in regions where market
practice is for directors to stand for election on a staggered basis.
•
When
a board is presented for election as a slate (e.g., shareholders are unable to vote against individual nominees and must vote for or against
the entire nominated slate of directors) and this approach is not aligned with local market practice, we will generally vote against the
slate in cases where we otherwise would vote against an individual nominee.
•
Where
market practice is to elect directors as a slate we will generally support the nominated
slate
unless there are governance concerns with several of the individuals included on the slate or we have broad concerns with the composition
of the board such as a lack independence.
Board
size: We will generally defer to the board with respect to determining
the optimal number of board members given the size of the company and complexity of the business, provided that the proposed board size
is sufficiently large to represent shareholder interests and sufficiently limited to remain effective.
Board
assessment and succession planning: When evaluating board effectiveness,
Invesco considers whether periodic performance reviews and skills assessments are conducted to ensure the board represents the interests
of shareholders. In addition, boards should have a robust succession plan in place for key management and board personnel.
Definition
of independence: Invesco considers local market definitions of
director independence but applies a proprietary standard for assessing director independence considering a director’s status as
a current or former employee of the business, any commercial or consulting relationships with the company, the level of shares beneficially
owned or represented and familial relationships, among others.
Board
and committee independence: The board of directors, board committees
and regional equivalents should be sufficiently independent from management, substantial shareholders and conflicts of interest. We consider
local market practices in this regard and in general we look for a balance across the board of directors. Above all, we like to see signs
of robust challenge and discussion in the boardroom.
•
We
will generally vote against one or more non-independent directors when a board is less than majority independent, but we will take into
account local market practice with regards to board independence in limited circumstances where this standard is not appropriate.
•
We
will generally vote against non-independent directors serving on the audit committee.
•
We
will generally vote against non-independent directors serving on the compensation committee.
•
We
will generally vote against non-independent directors serving on the nominating committee.
•
In
relation to the board, compensation committee and nominating committee we will consider the appropriateness of significant shareholder
representation in applying this policy. This exception will generally not apply to the audit committee.
Separation
of Chair and CEO roles: We believe that independent board leadership
generally enhances management accountability to investors. Companies deviating from this best practice should provide a strong justification
and establish safeguards to ensure that there is independent oversight of a board’s activities (e.g., by appointing a lead or senior
independent director with clearly defined powers and responsibilities).
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee chair where the board chair is not independent unless a lead independent
or senior director is appointed.
•
We
will generally support shareholder proposals requesting that the board chair be an independent director.
•
We
will generally not vote against a CEO or executive serving as board chair solely on the basis of this issue, however, we may do so in
instances where we have significant concerns regarding a company’s corporate governance, capital allocation decisions and/or compensation
practices.
Attendance
and over boarding: Director
attendance at board and committee meetings is
a fundamental part of their responsibilities and provides efficient oversight for the company and its investors. In addition, directors
should not have excessive external board or managerial commitments that may interfere with their ability to execute the duties of a director.
•
We
will generally vote against directors who attend less than 75% of board and committee meetings held in the previous year unless an acceptable
extenuating circumstance is disclosed, such
as health matters or family emergencies.
•
We
will generally vote against directors who have more than four total mandates at public operating companies. We apply a lower threshold
for directors with significant commitments such as executive positions and chairmanships.
Diversity:
We encourage companies to continue to evolve diversity and inclusion practices. Boards should be comprised of directors with a variety
of relevant skills and industry expertise together with a diverse profile of individuals of different genders, ethnicities, race, skills,
tenures and backgrounds in order to provide robust challenge and debate. We consider diversity at the board level, within the executive
management team and in the succession pipeline.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee chair of a board where women constitute less than two board members or
25% of the board, whichever is lower, for two or more consecutive years, unless incremental improvements are being made to diversity practices.
•
In
addition, we will consider a company’s performance on broader types of diversity which may include diversity of skills, non-executive
director tenure, ethnicity,
race or other factors where appropriate and reasonably determinable. We will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee
chair if there are multiple concerns on diversity issues.
•
We
generally believe that an individual board’s nominating committee is best positioned to determine whether director term limits
would be an appropriate measure to help achieve these goals and, if so, the nature of such limits. Invesco generally opposes proposals
to limit the tenure of outside directors through mandatory retirement ages.
D.
Long Term Stewardship of Capital
Capital
allocation:
Invesco expects companies to responsibly raise and deploy capital towards the long-term, sustainable success of the business. In addition,
we expect capital allocation authorizations and decisions to be made with due regard to shareholder dilution, rights of shareholders to
ratify significant corporate actions and pre-emptive rights, where applicable.
Share
issuance and repurchase authorizations: We generally support authorizations
to issue shares up to 20% of a company’s issued share capital for general corporate purposes. Shares should not be issued at a
substantial discount to the market price or be repurchased at a substantial premium to the market price.
Stock
splits: We generally support management proposals to implement
a forward or reverse stock split, provided that a reverse stock split is not being used to take a company private. In addition, we will
generally support requests to increase a company’s common stock authorization if requested in order to facilitate a stock split.
Increases
in authorized share capital: We will generally support proposals
to increase a company’s number of authorized common and/or preferred shares, provided we have not identified concerns regarding
a company’s historical share issuance activity or the potential to use these authorizations for antitakeover purposes. We will
consider the amount of the request in relation to the company’s current authorized share capital, any proposed corporate transactions
contingent on approval of these requests and the cumulative impact on a company’s authorized share capital, for example, if a reverse
stock split is concurrently submitted for shareholder consideration.
Mergers,
acquisitions, proxy contests, disposals and other corporate transactions:
Invesco’s investment teams will review proposed corporate transactions including mergers, acquisitions,
reorganizations,
proxy contests, private placements, dissolutions and divestitures based on a proposal’s individual investment merits. In addition,
we broadly approach voting on other corporate transactions as follows:
•
We
will generally support proposals to approve different types of restructurings that provide the necessary financing to save the company
from involuntary bankruptcy.
•
We
will generally support proposals to enact corporate name changes and other proposals related to corporate transactions that we believe
are in shareholders’ best interests.
•
We
will generally support reincorporation proposals, provided that management have provided a compelling rationale for the change in legal
jurisdiction and provided further that the proposal will not significantly adversely impact shareholders’ rights.
•
With
respect to contested director elections, we consider the following factors, among others, when evaluating the merits of each list of nominees:
the long term performance of the company relative to its industry, management’s track record, any relevant background information
related to the contest, the qualifications of the respective lists of director nominees, the strategic merits of the approaches proposed
by both sides including the likelihood that the proposed goals can be met, positions of stock ownership in the company.
E.
Environmental, Social and Governance Risk Oversight
Director
responsibility for risk oversight: The board of directors are ultimately
responsible for overseeing management and ensuring that proper governance, oversight and control mechanisms are in place at the companies
they oversee. Invesco may take voting action against director nominees in response to material governance or risk oversight failures that
adversely affect shareholder value.
Invesco
considers the adequacy of a company's response to material oversight failures when determining whether any voting action is warranted.
In addition, Invesco will consider the responsibilities delegated to board subcommittees when determining if it is appropriate to hold
certain director nominees accountable for these material failures.
Material
governance or risk oversight failures at a company may include, without limitation:
i.
significant
bribery, corruption or ethics violations;
ii.
events
causing significant climate-related risks;
iii.
significant
health and safety incidents; or
iv.
failure
to ensure the protection of human rights.
Reporting
of financially material ESG information: Companies should report
on their environmental, social and governance opportunities and risks where material to their business operations.
•
Where
Invesco finds significant gaps in terms of management and disclosure of environmental, social and governance risk policies, we will generally
vote against the annual reporting and accounts or an equivalent resolution.
Shareholder
proposals addressing environmental and social risks: Invesco may
support shareholder resolutions requesting that specific actions be taken to address environmental and social (“E&S”)
issues or mitigate exposure to material E&S risks, including reputational risk, related to these issues. When considering such proposals,
we will consider a company's track record on E&S issues, the efficacy of the proposal's request,
whether the requested action is unduly burdensome, and whether
we consider the adoption of such a proposal would promote long-term shareholder value. We will also consider company responsiveness to
the proposal and any engagement on the issue when casting votes.
•
We
generally do not support resolutions where insufficient information has been provided in advance of the vote or a lack of disclosure inhibits
our ability to make fully informed voting decisions.
•
We
will generally support shareholder resolutions requiring additional disclosure on material environmental, social and governance risks
facing their businesses, provided that such requests are not unduly burdensome or duplicative with a company’s existing reporting.
These may include, but are not limited to,
reporting on the following: gender and racial diversity issues, political contributions and lobbying disclosure, information on data security,
privacy, and internet practices, human capital and labor issues and the use of natural capital, and reporting on climate change-related
risks.
Ratification
of board and/or management acts: We will generally support proposals
to ratify the actions of the board of directors, supervisory board and/or executive decision-making bodies, provided there are no material
oversight failures as described above. When such oversight concerns are identified, we will consider a company’s response to any
issues raised and may vote against ratification proposals instead of, or in addition to, director nominees.
F.
Executive Compensation and Alignment
Invesco
supports compensation polices and equity incentive plans that promote alignment between management incentives and shareholders’
long-term interests. We pay close attention to local market practice and may apply stricter or modified criteria where appropriate.
Advisory
votes on executive compensation, remuneration policy and remuneration reports:
We will generally not support compensation related proposals where more than one of the following is present:
i.
there
is an unmitigated misalignment between executive pay and company performance for at least two consecutive years;
ii.
there
are problematic compensation practices which may include among others incentivizing excessive risk taking or circumventing alignment between
management and shareholders’ interests via repricing of underwater options;
iii.
vesting
periods for long term incentive awards are less than three years;
iv.
the
company “front loads” equity awards;
v.
there
are inadequate risk mitigating features in the program such as clawback provisions;
vi.
excessive,
discretionary one-time equity grants are awarded to executives;
vii.
less
than half of variable pay is linked to performance targets, except where prohibited by law.
Invesco
will consider company reporting on pay ratios as part of our evaluation of compensation proposals, where relevant.
Equity
plans: Invesco generally supports equity compensation plans that
promote the proper alignment of incentives with shareholders’ long-term interests, and generally votes against plans that are overly
dilutive to existing shareholders, plans that contain objectionable structural features which may include provisions to reprice options
without shareholder approval, plans that include evergreen provisions or plans that provide for automatic accelerated vesting upon a change
in control.
Employee
stock purchase plans: We generally support 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 represents a reasonable discount from the market price.
Severance
Arrangements: Invesco considers proposed severance arrangements
(sometimes known as “golden parachute” arrangements) on a case-by-case basis due to the wide variety among their terms.
Invesco acknowledges that in some cases such arrangements, if reasonable, may be in shareholders’
best
interests as a method of attracting and retaining high-quality executive talent. We generally vote in favor of proposals requiring shareholder
ratification of senior executives’ severance agreements where the proposed terms and disclosure align with good market practice.

and beneficiaries in the long term, acknowledging the importance of corporate governance based on fiduciary duties to our clients (investors)

The interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries are to expand the corporate value or the shareholders’

integral part of our stewardship activities, and we make voting decisions considering whether the proposal would contribute to corporate
value expansion and sustainable growth.
To
vote proxies adequately, we have established the Responsible Investment Committee and developed the
Proxy Voting Guideline to govern the decision-making process of
proxy voting. While we may seek advice from an external service provider based on our own guidelines, our investment professionals make
voting decisions in principle, based on the proxy voting guideline, taking into account whether they contribute to increasing the subject
company’s shareholder value.
Responsible
proxy voting and constructive dialogue with investee companies are important components of stewardship activities. While the Proxy Voting
Guideline are principles for our voting decisions, depending on the proposals, we may make an exception if we conclude that such a decision
is in the best interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries
after having constructive dialogue with the investee companies.
In such a case, approval of the Responsible Investment Committee shall be obtained.
The
Responsible Investment Committee consists of members including Chief Investment Officer, as the chair, Head of Compliance, Head of ESG,
investment professionals nominated by the chair and the other members, including persons in charge at the Client Reporting department.
We
have established the Conflict of Interest Management Policy.
In
the situation that may give rise to a
conflict of interest, we aim to control it in the best interests
of clients (investors) and beneficiaries. The Compliance department is responsible for governing company-wide control of a conflict of
interest. The Compliance department is independent of Investment and Sales departments and shall not receive any command or order for
the matters compliant with the laws and regulations, including a conflict of interest,
from them.
Proxy
Voting Guidelines
1.
Appropriations of Retained
Earnings and Dividends
We
decide how to vote on proposals seeking approval for appropriations of retained earnings and dividends, taking into account the subject
company’s financial conditions and business performance, shareholders’
economic interests and so on.
•
Taking
into account the company’s capital adequacy,
business strategies, and
so on if the total payout ratio, including dividends and share
repurchases, is significantly low, we consider voting
against the proposals unless reasonable explanations are given
by the company.
•
With
respect to the company where the Board of Directors determines appropriations of retained earnings, taking into account the subject company’s
capital adequacy, business
strategies, and so
on if the total payout ratio, including dividends and share repurchases, is significantly low, we consider voting against the reappointment
of board directors unless reasonable explanations are given by the company.
•
Taking
into account the subject company’s capital adequacy,
business strategies, and
so on if the total payout ratio, including dividends and share
repurchases, is significantly low, we consider voting for shareholder proposals increasing shareholder returns.
2.
Appointment of Board
Directors
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the appointment of board directors, taking into account their independence, competence,
anti-social activity records
(if any), and so on. Furthermore,
we decide how to vote on the reappointment of board directors,
taking into account their corporate governance practices, accountability during their tenures, the company’s business performance
and anti-social records
(if any), and
so on in addition to the above factors.
Board
directors should make best efforts to continuously gain knowledge and skills to fulfill the critical role and responsibilities in the
company’s governance. A company should also provide sufficient training opportunities.
Independent
outside directors are expected to play a significant role, such as safeguarding minority shareholders’
interests through action based on their insights to increase the
company’s corporate value. It is desirable to enhance the board’s governance function with independent outside directors
accounting for the board majority. However, given the challenge to secure competent candidates, we also recognize that
it is difficult for all the companies, irrespective of their size,
to deploy the independent outside directors’ majority on the Board.
Sufficient
disclosure is a prerequisite for reflecting the assessment of independence and suitability of director candidates and board composition
in voting decisions. Currently, there are cases where sufficient information cannot be obtained due to insufficient disclosure on a board
chair, each committee’s function and committee chairs in Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) and a corporate governance report,
as well as untimeliness of these issuances. We generally make decisions based on Notice of AGM, a corporate governance report and an annual
securities report disclosed by the time of voting. However, this shall not apply if we obtain such information from direct engagement
with the company or find relevant disclosure elsewhere.
We
generally vote for the appointment of outside directors.
However, we generally vote against if a candidate is not regarded
as independent of the subject company. It is desirable that the company discloses information, such as numerical data, which supports
our decision on board independence.
•
We
view the following outside director candidates are not independent enough.
•
Candidates
who have been working for the following companies for the last ten years or are those people’s relatives.
•
Candidates
who have been working for the following companies for the last five years or are those people’s relatives.
•
Shareholders
who own more than 10% of the subject company
•
Principal
securities brokers
•
Major
business partners
•
Audit
companies, consulting companies or any related service providers which have any consulting contracts with the subject company
•
Any
other counterparts which have any interests in the subject company
In
cases other than above, we separately scrutinize the independence of candidates who are regarded as not independent enough.
•
We
take extra care when we assess the independence of candidates from a company which is regarded as a policy shareholder under cross shareholding,
mutually sends outside directors to each other, and so on, as such cases potentially raise doubts about their independence. The company
should give reasonable explanations. It is also desirable that the company contrives the timing and method of disclosure to allow investors
to understand those relationships enough.
•
We
judge board independence according to the stock exchange’s independence criteria with emphasizing independence ensured practically.
We consider each company’s business environment and make the best effort to engage with the subject company to determine the independence
of the candidates.
•
We
regard an outside director with a significantly long tenure as non-independent and consider voting against the reappointment of such an
outside director. We generally consider voting against the reappointment of outside directors whose tenures are longer than ten years.
•
If
the subject company is a company with Audit Committee, we judge the independence of outside director candidates who become audit committee
board members using the same independence criteria for the appointment of statutory auditors in principle.
•
We
generally consider voting against the appointment of top executives and a nominating committee chair at a company
with three Committees if independent outside directors of the
subject company account for less than 1/3 of the Board after the AGM.
However, this shall not apply if we confirm sufficient planning
or special circumstances on increasing the number of independent outside directors in engagements.
•
In
case the subject company has a parent company, we generally consider voting against the appointment of top executives and a nominating
committee chair
at a company with three Committees if independent outside directors account for less than half of the Board after the AGM.
However, this shall not apply if we confirm sufficient planning
or special circumstances on increasing the number of independent outside directors in engagements.
(2)
Attendance
rate and concurrent duties
•
All
members are expected to attend board and respective committee meetings in principle.
A Company is
generally obligated to facilitate all members to attend these meetings.
We generally vote against the reappointment of board directors who attended less than 75% of board or respective committee
meetings.
•
We
take into account not only the number of attendance but nomination reasons and candidates’
real
contributions if disclosed.
•
We
take extra care when we assess the capability of board directors who have many concurrent duties as an outside director or outside statutory
auditor of listed companies, as such cases potentially arise doubts about their capacity given the importance of outside directors’
role and responsibilities. Accordingly, we
consider voting against the appointment of board directors who perform five or more duties as a director or statutory auditor of a listed
company or equivalent company.
•
If
a company nominates a board director with many concurrent duties, it should provide reasonable explanations. It is also desirable that
the company contrives disclosure timing and methods to allow investors to understand the situation enough.
(3)
Company’s
business performance
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of board directors if the subject company made a loss for the three consecutive years during
their tenures.
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of board directors if we judge that the subject company’s business performance significantly
lags the peers in the same industry during their tenures.
•
We
consider voting against top executives if, concerning capital efficiency including return on capital,
business strategies achieving corporate value expansion and sustainable
growth are not demonstrated, and constructive dialogues are not conducted.
(4)
Company’s
anti-social activities
•
If
we judge that a corporate scandal damages or is likely to damage
shareholder value with having a significant effect on society during
a board tenure, we conduct adequate dialogues with the subject company on the background and subsequent resolutions of the scandal. Based
on the dialogues, we decide how to vote on the reappointment of top executives, board directors in charge of those cases and audit committee
board members at a company with Audit Committee or three Committees, considering the impact on shareholder value.
•
With
respect to domestic corporate scandals, at the time a company receives administrative dispositions to cartel,
bid-rigging, and so on from authorities, such as the Fair Trade
Commission, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives, directors in charge and audit committee board members at a
company with Audit Committee or three Committees.
However, in
case final dispositions are subsequently determined based on appeal
or complaints resolutions, we do not vote against the reappointment again at that time. We vote on a case-by-case basis concerning compensation
orders in a civil case, dispositions
from the Consumer Affairs Agency or administrative dispositions from overseas authorities.
•
With
respect to administrative dispositions to an unlisted subsidiary or affiliate, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives,
directors in charge and audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committee or three Committees of the holding or parent company.
If a subsidiary
or affiliate is listed, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives, directors in charge and audit committee board
members at a company with Audit Committee or three Committees of both the subsidiary or affiliate and the holding or parent company.
However, we may vote on a case-by-case basis, depending on the
importance of the disposition to the subsidiary or affiliate, its impact on the holding or parent company’s financial performance,
and so on.
•
With
respect to employees’ scandals,
if the scandal damages or is likely to damage shareholder value, and we judge that the subject company owes management responsibility,
we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives, directors in charge and audit committee board members at a company with
Audit Committee or three Committees.
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of board directors if the subject company engages in
window dressing or inadequate accounting practices during their
tenures.
(5)
Activities
against shareholder interest
•
If
a company raises capital through an excessively dilutive third-party allotment without a shareholders’
meeting’s approval, we consider voting against the reappointment
of board directors, particularly top executives.
•
If
a company raises capital through a large-scale public offering without reasonable explanations, we consider voting against the reappointment
of board directors, particularly top executives.
•
If
a company does not execute a shareholder proposal regarded as favorable for minority shareholders receiving the majority support
from shareholders or does not make a similar company proposal at
an AGM in the following year, we consider voting against the appointment of top executives.
•
If
a company insufficiently discloses board director candidates’
information, we generally vote against such candidates.
3.
Composition of Board
of Directors
While
each company’s board structure would differ depending on its size and so on, we believe that a company with three Committees
(Nomination,
Audit and Remuneration) is desirable to achieve better governance
as a listed company. For a company with Board of Statutory Auditors
(Kansayaku) or Audit Committee, it is also desirable to voluntarily
deploy a Nomination Committee, a Remuneration Committee
and other necessary committees. Besides,
it is desirable that Board Chair is an independent outside director.
We believe that a highly transparent board composition ensures management accountability and contributes to sustained enterprise value
expansion. Finally, the
disclosure of the third-party assessment on the Board of Directors is desirable.
To
strengthen the Board of Directors’ monitoring function and increase its transparency and effectiveness, we believe it is important
to ensure gender, nationality, career, and age diversity in principle. It is desirable that each company adopts a skills matrix that defines
the diversity and expertise required to fulfill the Board’s responsibilities reflecting its situation and selects director candidates
accordingly.
We
are concerned about retired directors assuming consulting, advisory or other similar positions which could negatively impact transparency
and decision making of the Board. If such positions exist,
and retired directors assume them,
it is desirable that the company discloses their existence, their
expected roles and contributions and compensations for such posts.
(1)
Number
of board members and change in board composition
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the number of board members and change in board composition, taking into account the impacts
on the subject company and shareholders’ economic interests compared to the current situations.
•
The
number of board members should be optimized to make the right management decision at the right time. We may consider each company’s
business situation and scale. However,
we generally consider voting against the appointment of top executives
and a nominating committee chair at a company three Committees
if the number of board members is expected to exceed 20 without decreasing from the previous AGM, and reasonable explanations are not
given.
•
We
generally vote against the appointment of top executives and a nomination committee chair at a company three Committees if a decrease
in outside directors or an increase in internal directors reduces the percentage of outside directors to less than half of the board members.
•
If
there are no females on the Board, we consider voting against the appointment of top executives and a nomination committee chair at a
company three Committees. However, this shall not apply if we confirm sufficient planning or special circumstances on increasing the number
of female directors in engagements.
•
We
believe that board diversity is important and may set a higher target for a female board member ratio in the future. Similarly, we may
set a racial and nationality diversity target, especially for companies with global business operations.
(2)
Procedures
of board director appointment, scope of their responsibilities and so
on
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning change in board director appointment procedures, taking into account the rationales, and so
on, compared to the current procedures.
•
We
generally vote against proposals reducing board directors’
responsibilities for financial damages on fiduciary duty breach.
•
Board
directors’ responsibilities
include effective monitoring of top executives succession planning. The Nomination Committee at a company with three Committees or the
arbitrary Nomination Committee created at a company with the other governance
structures should provide effective monitoring of successor development
and appointment with transparency. It is desirable that an independent outside
director
serves as Nomination Committee Chair. If we judge that the succession procedure significantly lacks transparency and rationality, we consider
voting against the appointment of top executives.
4.
Appointment of Statutory
Auditors (Kansayaku)
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the appointment of statutory auditors, taking into account their independence, competence and
anti-social activities records
(if any), and so on. We decide how to vote on the reappointment of statutory auditors, taking into account their corporate governance
practices and accountability during their tenures, the company’s anti-social activity records, and
so on in addition to the above factors.
Statutory
auditors and audit committee board directors at a company with Audit committee or three Committees should have deep knowledge specialized
in accounting, laws
and regulations and should make best efforts to continuously gain knowledge and skills to fulfill the critical role and responsibilities
in the company’s governance. A company should also provide sufficient training opportunities.
•
We
generally vote against the appointment of outside statutory auditors without independency.
•
In
general, a person who has no relationship with the subject company other than a statutory auditor appointment is regarded as independent.
•
We
regard that an outside statutory auditor with a significantly long tenure is not independent and generally vote against the reappointment
of such an outside statutory auditor. We generally consider voting against the candidate whose tenure is longer than ten years.
(2)
Attendance
rate and concurrent duties
•
All
statutory auditors are expected to attend board or board of statutory auditors meetings in principle.
A companies is generally obligated to facilitate all statutory
auditors to attend these meetings. We generally vote against the reappointment of statutory auditors who attended less than 75% of board
or board of statutory auditors meetings.
•
We
take into account not only the number of attendance but nomination reasons and candidates’
real
contributions if disclosed.
•
We
take extra care when we assess the capability of statutory auditors who have many concurrent duties as an outside director or outside
statutory auditor of listed companies, as such cases potentially arise doubts about their capacity given the importance of outside statutory
auditors’ role
and responsibilities. Accordingly,
we consider voting against the appointment of
statutory auditors who perform five or more duties as a board director
or statutory auditor of a listed company or equivalent company.
If a company nominates a statutory auditor with many concurrent
duties, it
should give reasonable explanations. It
is also desirable that the company contrives disclosure timing and methods to allow investors to understand the situation enough.
•
If
there are material concerns about a published audit report or audit procedures, or insufficiencies of required disclosures, we vote against
the reappointment of statutory auditors.
(4)
Company’s
anti-social activities
•
If
we judge that a corporate scandal damages or is likely to damage
shareholder value with having a significant impact on society during
a statutory auditor’s tenure, we conduct adequate dialogues with the subject company on the background and subsequent resolutions
of the scandal. Based on the dialogues, we decide how to vote on the reappointment of statutory auditors,
considering the impact on shareholder value.
•
With
respect to domestic corporate scandals, at the time a company receives administrative
dispositions
to cartel, bid-rigging,
and so on from authorities, such as the Fair Trade Commission, we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory auditors. However,
in case the final dispositions are subsequently determined based
on appeal or complaints resolutions, we do not vote against the reappointment again at that time. We vote on a case-by-case basis concerning
compensation orders in a civil case, dispositions
from the Consumer Affairs Agency or administrative dispositions from overseas authorities.
•
With
respect to administrative dispositions to an unlisted subsidiary or affiliate, we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory
auditors of the holding or parent company. If a subsidiary or affiliate is listed, we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory
auditors of both the subsidiary or affiliate and the holding or parent company.
However, we may decide on a case-by-case basis, depending on the
importance of the dispositions to the subsidiary or affiliate, its impact on the holding or parent company’s financial performance,
and so on.
•
With
respect to employees’ scandals,
if the scandal damages or is likely to damage shareholder value, and we judge that the subject company owes management responsibility,
we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory auditors.
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of statutory auditors if the subject company engages in
window-dressing or inadequate accounting practices during their
tenures
5.
Composition of Board
of Statutory Auditors (Kansayaku)
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the number of members or change in composition of the board of statutory auditors, taking into
account the impact on the subject company and shareholders’
economic interests compared to the current situations.
•
We
consider an increase in statutory auditors favorably. However, in case of a decrease, we consider voting against the reappointment of
top executives unless clear and reasonable explanations are given.
6.
Appointment of Accounting
Auditors
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the appointment and replacement of accounting auditors, taking into account their competence,
audit fee levels, and so on.
•
We
generally vote against the reappointment of statutory auditors
(Kansayaku)
or audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committee
or three Committees if we judge that a company reappoints an accounting auditor without replacing it despite the following accounting
audit problems.
•
It
is determined that an accounting auditor provides an unfair opinion on the company’s financial conditions.
•
In
case there are concerns on financial statements, required disclosures are insufficient.
•
In
case an accounting auditor has a service contract other than accounting audit services with the subject company, it is regarded that such
a contract creates a conflict of interest between them.
•
Excessive
audit fees are paid.
•
It
is regarded that an accounting auditor makes fraud or negligence.
•
If
it is regarded that an accounting auditor has issues in other company’s audits, in case a company appoints or reappoints the accounting
auditor without replacing it, we take the impact on the company’s corporate value full consideration into voting decisions.
•
We
generally vote against proposals concerning accounting auditor replacement if it is regarded that a company changes an incumbent accounting
auditor due
to a dispute about accounting principles.
7.
Compensation for Board
Directors, Statutory Auditors (Kansayaku) and Employees
(1)
Board
directors’ salaries and bonuses
•
It
is desirable to increase the proportion of stock incentive plans in board directors’ salaries and bonuses, on condition that a
performance-based compensation structure is established, transparency,
such as disclosures of a benchmark or formula laying the foundations
for calculation, ensures accountability, and the impact on shareholders, such as dilution, are taken into considerations. The Remuneration
Committee at a company with three Committees
(Nomination, Audit and Remuneration) or the arbitrary Remuneration
Committee preferably deployed at a company with the other
governance structures should ensure the accountability of compensation
schemes. It is desirable that an independent outside director serves as Remuneration Committee Chair.
•
We
consider voting against proposals seeking approval for salaries and bonuses in the following cases.
•
Negative
correlation between company’s financial performance and directors’
salaries and bonuses are observed.
•
Inappropriate
systems and practices are in place.
•
The
total amount of salaries and bonuses is not disclosed.
•
Management
failures, such
as a significant share price decline or serious earnings deterioration,
are apparent.
•
The
remuneration proposal includes people determined to be responsible for activities against shareholder interest.
•
We
generally vote for shareholder proposals requesting disclosure of individual directors’ salaries and bonuses.
•
If
a company implements any measures ensuring transparency other than disclosure, we take it into consideration.
•
If
there is no proposal seeking approval for directors’
salaries and bonuses, and the compensation structure lacks transparency,
we consider voting against the appointment of top executives.
•
We
generally vote against bonuses for statutory auditors at a company with Board of Statutory Auditors and audit committee board members
at a company with Audit Committee.
•
We
separately consider voting to audit committee board members at a company with three Committees.
(2)
Stock
incentive plans
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning stock incentive plans, including stock options and restricted stock units, taking into account
the impact on shareholder value and rights, compensation levels, the scope, the rationales, and so on.
•
We
generally vote against proposals seeking to lower the strike price of stock options.
•
We
generally vote for proposals seeking to change the strike price on condition that shareholders’ approval is required every time.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans if the terms and
conditions for exercising options,
including equity dilution,
lack transparency. We generally consider voting against proposals
potentially causing 10% or more equity dilution.
•
It
is desirable that stock incentive plans is a long-term incentive aligned with sustainable growth and
corporate value expansion. As such, we generally vote against stock
incentive plans allowing recipients to exercise all the rights within two years after vested for the subject fiscal year. However,
this
shall not apply to recipients who retire during the subject fiscal year. We assess the validity if a vesting period is regarded as too
long.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans granted to statutory auditors and audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committee.
•
We
separately consider stock incentive plans granted to audit committee board members, including both inside and outside directors,
at a company with three Committees.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans granted to any third parties other than employees.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans in case a company is likely to adopt the plans as
takeover defense.
(3)
Employee
stock purchase plan
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning employee stock purchase plans, taking into account the impact on shareholder value and rights,
the scope and the rationales, and so on.
(4)
Retirement
benefits for board directors
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning grant of retirement benefits, taking into account the scope and scandals
(if any)
of recipients
and business performance and scandals
(if any) of the subject company, and so on.
•
We
generally vote for proposals granting retirement benefits if all the following criteria are satisfied.
•
The
granted amount is disclosed.
•
Outside
directors, statutory auditors and audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committees are excluded.
•
Recipients
do not cause any significant scandals during their tenures.
•
The
subject company does not make a loss for the three consecutive years, or its business performance is not determined to significantly lag
behind the peers in the same industry.
•
The
company does not cause scandals that significantly impact society and damage, or are unlikely to damage, shareholder value during their
tenures.
•
The
company does not engage in window-dressing or inadequate accounting practices during their tenures.
8.
Cross-shareholdings
If
a company holds shares for the sake of
business relations (cross
shareholdings), the company should explain the medium- to long-term business and financial strategies,
including capital costs, and disclose proxy voting guidelines,
voting results, and so on. If the company does not give reasonable
explanations and engage in constructive dialogues, we consider voting against the appointment of top executives. It is important that
the company does not hinder the sales/reduction of cross shareholdings when a policy
shareholder intends.
•
If
a company's cross shareholdings account for 20% or more of its net assets, we generally consider voting against the appointment of top
executives. However, this shall not apply if we confirm that the company makes a reduction, does sufficient planning or has industry-
specific circumstances that should be taken into consideration in engagement.
9.
Capital Policy
As
a listed companies’
capital policy is likely to significantly impact shareholder value and interests, a
company should implement a rational capital policy and explain
capital policy guidelines to shareholders. We consider voting against proposals concerning capital policies that we judge damage shareholder
value. If a
company
has a capital policy that is not part of proposals at an AGM but regarded to damage shareholder value, we consider voting against the
reappointment of board directors.
•
It
is undesirable that a company intends to maintain or increase so-called “friendly” stable shareholders and infringes minority
shareholders’ rights
by the third-party allotment, treasury stocks transfer or company management holdings’ transfer to foundations affiliated with
the company.
(1)

to delisting or have a significant impact on a going concern.

and the impact on the sustainability of stock market listing or a going concern, and so on.

decide how to vote on proposals concerning a corporate bond issue or a credit facility expansion, taking into account the subject company’s
financial conditions, and so
on.
(9)

•
We
decide how to vote on proposals seeking to change the number of authorized shares or issue shares for debt restructuring, taking into
account the terms and conditions of the change or the issue, the impact

going concern, and so on.

Takeover Defense
We
believe that management and shareholder interest is not always aligned.
As such, we generally vote against the creation, amendment and
renewal of takeover defense measures that we judge decrease
shareholder value or infringes shareholder rights. We generally
vote against the reappointment of directors if takeover defense measures are not part of proposals at an AGM but are regarded to decrease
shareholder value or infringes shareholder rights.

14.
Environment, Social
and Governance (ESG)
We
support the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and acknowledge that company’s ESG practices are an important
factor in investment decision making. Thus, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives and directors in charge if
we judge that there is an issue that could significantly damage corporate value. We consider voting for proposals related to ESG materiality,
including climate change or diversity, if we judge that such proposals contribute to preventing from damaging or expanding corporate
value.
If not, we consider voting against such proposals.
15.
Disclosure
Disclosure
and constructive dialogues based thereon are important in proxy voting and investment decision making. Furthermore, proactive disclosure
and effective engagement are desirable as demand for ESG disclosure, including climate change, has been increasing, and the disclosure
frameworks have been rapidly progressing.
•
We
generally vote against proposals that lack sufficient disclosure to make proxy voting decisions.
•
We
generally vote for proposals seeking to enhance disclosures if such information is beneficial to shareholders.
•
If
a company’s financial and non-financial disclosures is significantly poor, and if the level of investor relations activities by
management or people in charge is significantly low, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives and directors in charge.
16.
Conflict of Interest
We
abstain from voting proxies of the following companies that are likely to have a conflict of interest. We also abstain from voting proxies
with respect to the following investment trusts
that are managed by us or Invesco group companies, as a conflict
of interest may rise.
•
Companies
and investment trusts that
we abstain from voting proxies:
We
have established the Conflict of Interest Management Policy. In
the situation that may give rise to a conflict
of interest, we aim to control it in the best interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries. The Compliance department is responsible
for governing company-wide control of a conflict of interest. The Compliance department is independent of the
Investment and Sales departments and shall not receive any command
or order for the matters compliant with the laws and regulations, including a conflict of interest, from the Investment and Sales departments.
Proxy
voting and stewardship activities are reported to the Responsible Investment Committee. The Responsible
Investment Committee approves them. Besides, the Compliance department reviews whether conflicts of interest are properly managed in proxy
voting and then reports the results to the Conflict of Interest Oversight Committee. Furthermore, the results are reported to the Executive
Committee in Tokyo and the Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee.
17.
Shareholder Proposals
We
vote on a case-by-case basis on shareholder proposals while we follow the Proxy Voting Guidelines in principle.

This

December 24, 2019 and circular dated March 5, 2021 and provides
general philosophy, broad guidelines, procedures and principles for exercising voting rights.
Invesco
Asset Management (India) Private Limited (“IAMI”)
is an Investment Manager to the scheme(s) of Invesco Mutual Fund (“the
Fund”). As an investment manager, IAMI has fiduciary responsibility
to act in the best interest of unit-holders of the Fund. This responsibility includes exercising voting rights attached to the securities
of the companies in which the schemes of the Fund invest. It will be IAMI’s endeavor to participate in the voting process (i.e.
exercise voting rights) based on the philosophy enunciated in this policy.
B.
Philosophy
of Voting Policy
Good
corporate governance ensures that a corporation is managed keeping in mind the long-term interest of shareholders. Promoting good corporate
governance standards forms an integral part of corporate ownership responsibilities.
With
this in the forefront, IAMI expects all corporations, in which it invests in, to comply with high corporate governance standards. Accordingly,
as the decision to invest is generally an endorsement of sound management practices, IAMI may generally vote with the management of these
corporations. However, when IAMI is of the view that the unit holders will be prejudiced by any such proposal, then it may vote against
such proposal to protect the interest of unit holders. Also, in case of resolutions moved by the shareholders of the company, IAMI will
exercise its voting rights in the best interest of its unit holders. Other than matters mentioned under section D
(I), in certain circumstances, IAMI may also decide to refrain
from voting where it has insufficient information or there is conflict of interest or it does not have a clear stance on the proposal
under consideration.
IAMI,
as an investment manager, will generally vote in accordance with the Voting Policy. However, it may deviate from the policy if there are
particular facts and/or circumstances that warrant for such deviation to protect the interests of unit-holders of the Fund.
C.
Conflict
of Interest in Exercising Voting Rights
IAMI,
under schemes, may invest in the securities of associate/group companies (to the extent permitted under SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations,
1996 as amended from time to time). Further, IAMI is an Indian subsidiary of global organization consisting of many affiliates. Moreover,
schemes under IAMI may invest in securities of companies which have invested in schemes of Invesco Mutual Fund. Such scenarios may lead
to a situation creating
conflict of interest. Potential Conflict of interest may also arise if IAMI and the investee company are associates or are part of the
same group; or the investee company holds a material ownership interest in IAMI; a nominee of IAMI has been appointed as a director of
the investee company or having cross-directorships, the Investee Company is an entity participating in the distribution of investment
products advised or administered by the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliate; the Investee Company is a client of Investment
Manager and/or its affiliates.
IAMI
will attempt to avoid conflict of interest and will exercise its voting rights in the best interest of the unit-holders. Voting decisions
in such cases will be based on merits without any bias and the same parameters will be applied for taking voting decisions as are applied
for other companies.
In
cases where there is a potential conflict of interest, IAMI will vote exactly as per recommendations of the proxy voting advisory entity
with no modifications whatsoever. In case there is need for a clearer direction, the matter may be referred to the Investment committee
for its guidance. Rationale for decision taken/ voting on the issue shall be recorded.
D.
Voting
Policy Guidelines
I.
The matters regarding, but not limited to, which the IAMI will exercise the voting rights in the Annual General Meeting (AGMs) /Extra
Ordinary General Meeting (EGMs)/ Through Postal Ballots/Electronic voting of the investee companies are as follows:
•
Corporate
governance matters, including changes in the state of incorporation, merger and other corporate restructuring and anti- takeover provisions.

option plans and other management compensation issues.
•
Social
and corporate responsibility issues.
•

and Removal of Directors.
•
Any
other issue that may affect the interest of the shareholders in general and interest of the unit- holders in particular.
•

shall have same meaning as assigned to them in clause (zc) of Sub-Regulation (1) of Regulation (2) of the SEBI (Listing Obligation and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Effective

in (I) above, IAMI will compulsorily be required to cast votes with effect from April 01, 2022.
II.
In case of the Mutual Funds having no economic interest on the day of voting, it may be exempted from compulsorily casting of votes.
III.
The vote shall be cast at Mutual Fund Level. However, in case Fund Manager/(s) of any specific scheme has strong view against the views
of Fund Manager/(s) of the other schemes, the voting at scheme level shall be allowed subject to recording of detailed rationale for the
same.
IAMI
will exercise voting rights keeping in mind the need to improve economic value of the companies and importance of protecting the interests
of unit holders of its schemes but subject to importance of the matter and cost/time implications. The analysts in equity team will make
recommendations on key voting issues and same will be approved by the Head of Equity or Fund Manager. In case of conflicts or need for
a clearer direction, the matter may be referred to the Voting Committee for its guidance.
As
a guiding principle, IAMI shall exercise voting rights solely in the interest of unit holders of the Fund. IAMI has constituted a Voting
Committee (VC).The Committee is empowered to provide guidance on the voting matters referred to it, establish voting guidelines and procedures
as it may consider necessary and is responsible to ensure that these guidelines and procedures are adhered to and also make changes in
the Policy as may be required from time to time. The members of this Committee are as follows:
•
CEO
/ COO/Head - Operations (any one)
•
Head
of Compliance or Member of compliance team
•
Head
of Equity or Fund Manager (equity)
•
Head
of Fixed Income and/ or Fund Managers (fixed income)
•
Any
other representative as the Committee may co-opt from time to time
Broad
Guidelines for functioning of Voting Committee are:
1.
Voting Committee may record its decisions by circulation including decisions/guidance on voting matters
that have been referred to it.
2.
Voting Committee may consult with outside experts and other investors on issues as it may deem fit.
3.
Decisions of Voting Committee should be maintained by compliance.
4.
Details of voting decisions taken by the Fund Management team will be presented to the Voting Committee/Investment
Committee.
5.
Voting Committee may review this policy from time to time.
F.
Steps
(Procedure) in Exercising Voting Rights
The
following points outline the key steps in exercising Voting rights:
1)
Notification of company AGMs / EGMs and relevant voting items to Fund Management Team.
2)
The IAMI shall endeavor to vote for all holdings of the Fund aggregated
for all its schemes. The voting will cover all equity holding across all schemes of Invesco Mutual Fund including passive investments
like Index Funds, Exchange Traded Fund etc. (except for companies which are held only in arbitrage fund).
3)
Custodian will send ballots and or other relevant papers (notice of meeting, proxy form, attendance slips
etc.) to IAMI relating to AGM/EGM as soon as it receives.
4)
The fund management team is authorized to decide on voting decisions but may refer decisions to the Voting
Committee for its guidance/direction.
5)
Based on internal discussion within the fund management team, a decision would be arrived to
vote on the proposed resolution. Routine matters and ordinary resolutions like adoption of financials (unless there are significant auditor
qualifications), dividend declaration, general updating/corrective amendments to the Articles of Association would also be considered
for voting purpose. However, IAMI may on a case to case basis, not vote on such resolutions, if it deems fit to do so.
6)
IAMI will generally support and vote “for” proposals
which are likely to result in maximizing long-term investment returns for unit holders. IAMI would not support and will vote “against”
proposals that appear to be detrimental to the company financials / interest of the minority shareholders or which would adversely impact
shareholders’ value.
7)
IAMI may exercise its voting rights by authorizing its own executives/authorized representative to attend
the AGM/EGM or may instruct the Custodian to exercise voting rights in accordance with the instructions of IAMI.
8)
IAMI may exercise its voting rights through Postal Ballot or may use Electronic voting mechanism, wherever
available, either through its own executives or by authorizing the Custodian. The records of voting exercised through Postal Ballot will
be maintained by IAMI.
9)
IAMI may utilize the services of third party professional agencies for getting in-depth analyses of proposals
and vote recommendations. However, the recommendations of the third party agencies will be non-binding in nature. IAMI will perform due
diligence on proxy voting advisory firms at the time of initial selection as well as at the time of renewal of services of the proxy voting.
The due diligence will be carried out on parameters viz. resource strength, Companies under coverage, extent of institutional ownership,
depth of analysis, quality of advice / recommendations, analyst access & support, timely availability of reports, composition of board
of directors, advisory board and top management, web-based interface platform and clientele.
10)
The rationale supporting each voting decision (For, Against and Abstain) will be recorded and such records
will be retained for number of years (currently 8 years) as may be required under the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 from time
to time.
G.

H - PORTFOLIO MANAGER(S)
Portfolio
Manager Fund Holdings and Information on Other Managed Accounts
Invesco’s
portfolio managers develop investment models which are used in connection with the management
of certain Invesco Funds as well as other mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment
vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The ‘Investments’
chart reflects the portfolio managers' investments in the Fund(s) that they manage and includes investments in the Fund’s shares
beneficially owned by a portfolio manager, as determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (beneficial ownership includes ownership by a portfolio manager’s immediate family members sharing the same household).
The ‘Assets Managed’ chart reflects information regarding accounts other than the Funds for which each portfolio manager
has day-to-day management responsibilities. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) other registered investment companies;
(ii) other pooled investment vehicles; and (iii) other accounts. To the extent that any of these accounts pay advisory fees that
are based on account performance (performance-based fees), information on those accounts is specifically noted. In addition, any
assets denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the applicable date.

Effective on or about June 30, 2023, Mr. Voss will no longer serve as a Portfolio Manager of Invesco American Franchise Fund.
2
Mr. Zibelli began serving on Invesco American Franchise Fund effective November 28, 2022. The information provided is as of October 31,
2022.
3
Effective on or about December 31, 2022, Mr. Blackburn will no longer serve as a Portfolio Manager of Invesco Global Real Estate Income
Fund.
4
The Portfolio Manager is not domiciled in the United States. Accordingly, the Portfolio Manager may not invest in the Fund.
5
The Portfolio Manager manages and has made investments in an Invesco Fund with the same or similar investment objectives, strategies and
risks as the Fund (such similar fund being a “Patterned Fund”) as of the most recent fiscal year end of the Patterned Fund.
A portion of the amount shown in the table includes the portfolio manager’s investment in the Patterned Fund.
6
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.
Potential
Conflicts of Interest
Actual
or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities
with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts
may be presented with one or more of the following potential conflicts:
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
Finally,
the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management
fee, which relates to the management of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a portfolio manager has day-to-day
management responsibilities.
The
Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed
to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which
a conflict arises.
Description
of Compensation Structure
For
the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser
The
Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned
to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive cash bonus opportunity
and a deferred compensation opportunity. Portfolio manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect
changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund performance. The Adviser
and each Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing compensation survey results conducted by an independent third
party of investment industry compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of the following three elements:
Base
Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting
the base salary, the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser’s intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio manager's
experience and responsibilities.
Annual
Bonus. The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees
of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd.
reviews and approves the firm-wide bonus pool based upon progress against strategic objectives and annual operating plan, including investment
performance and financial results. In addition, while having no direct impact on individual bonuses, assets under management are considered
when determining the starting bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based
on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may include, but are not limited to, individual performance,
risk management and teamwork).
Each
portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the Funds/accounts
managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

8 Portfolio
Managers may be granted an annual deferral award that vests on a pro-rata basis over a four-year period. |
9 Invesco
Senior Secured’s bonus is based on annual measures of equity return and standard tests of collateralization performance.
|
10
Portfolio Managers for Invesco Capital base their bonus on Invesco results as well as overall performance of Invesco Capital.
|
High
investment performance (against applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver compensation
generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the third-party provided compensation survey information)
and poor investment performance (versus applicable peer group)
would
result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus at all. These decisions are reviewed
and approved collectively by senior leadership which has responsibility for executing the compensation approach across the organization.
With
respect to Invesco Capital, there is no policy regarding, or agreement with, the Portfolio Managers or any
other senior executive of the Adviser to receive bonuses or any other compensation in connection with the performance of any of the accounts
managed by the Portfolio Managers.
Deferred
/ Long Term Compensation. Portfolio managers may be granted a deferred
compensation award based on a firm-wide bonus pool approved by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. Deferred compensation awards
may take the form of annual deferral awards or long-term equity awards. Annual deferral awards may be granted as an annual stock deferral
award or an annual fund deferral award. Annual stock deferral awards are settled in Invesco Ltd. common shares. Annual fund deferral awards
are notionally invested in certain Invesco Funds selected by the Portfolio Manager and are settled in cash. Long-term equity awards are
settled in Invesco Ltd. common shares. Both annual deferral awards and long-term equity awards have a four-year ratable vesting schedule.
The vesting period aligns the interests of the Portfolio Managers with the long-term interests of clients and shareholders and encourages
retention.
Retirement
and health and welfare arrangements. Portfolio managers are eligible
to participate in retirement and health and welfare plans and programs that are available generally to all employees.

Transactions
through Financial Intermediaries
If
you are investing indirectly in an Invesco Fund through a financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a
bank (including a bank trust department), an insurance company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or trustee of
a Retirement and Benefit Plan or a qualified tuition plan or a sponsor of a fee-based program that maintains a master account (an omnibus
account) with the Invesco Fund for trading on behalf of its customers, different guidelines, conditions and restrictions may apply than
if you held your shares of the Invesco Fund directly. These differences may include, but are not limited to: (i) different eligibility
standards to purchase and sell shares, different eligibility standards to invest in Funds with limited offering status and different eligibility
standards to exchange shares by telephone; (ii) different minimum and maximum initial and subsequent purchase amounts; (iii) system inability
to provide Letter of Intent privileges; and (iv) different annual amounts (less than 12%) subject to withdrawal under a Systematic Redemption
Plan without being subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). The financial intermediary through whom you are investing may
also choose to adopt different exchange and/or transfer limit guidelines and restrictions, including different trading restrictions designed
to discourage excessive or short-term trading.
If
the financial intermediary is managing your account, you may also be charged a transaction or other fee by
such financial intermediary, including service fees for handling redemption transactions. Consult with your financial intermediary (or,
in the case of a Retirement and Benefit Plan, your plan sponsor) to determine what fees, guidelines, conditions and restrictions, including
any of the above, may be applicable to you.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout this prospectus:
•
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans include (i) employer sponsored pension or profit sharing plans that qualify under Section 401(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), including 401(k), money purchase pension, profit sharing and defined benefit
plans; (ii) 403(b) and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements that operate similar to plans described under (i) above, such

Large
Purchases of Class A Shares. Investors who purchase $1,000,000
or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or V Funds do not pay an initial sales charge. Investors who purchase $250,000 or more of
Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds do not pay an initial sales charge. In addition, investors who own Class A shares of Category
I, II or V Funds and make additional purchases that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more and investors who own Class A shares
of Category IV or VI Funds and make additional purchases that result in account balances of $250,000 or more do not pay an initial sales
charge on the additional purchases. The additional purchases, as well as initial purchases of Class A shares of $1,000,000 or more (for
Category I, II and V) or $250,000 or more (for Category IV or VI Funds), are referred to as Large Purchases. If an investor makes a Large
Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, each share will generally be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the investor
redeems those shares within 18 months after purchase.
Invesco
Distributors may pay a dealer concession and/or advance a service fee on Large Purchases of Class
A shares, as set forth below. Exchanges between the Invesco Funds may affect total compensation paid.
Payments
for Purchases of Class A Shares by Investors Other than Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plans. Invesco Distributors may make the following
payments to dealers of record for Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II, IV, V or VI Funds by investors other than Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans:
Percent
of Purchases – Categories I, II, IV, V and VI
•
1%
(0.50% for Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and 0.75% for Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Short
Term Bond Fund) of the first $4 million
•
plus
0.50% of the next $46 million
•
plus
0.25% of amounts in excess of $50 million
If
(i) the amount of any single purchase order plus (ii) the public offering price of all other shares owned by the
same customer submitting the purchase order on the day on which the purchase order is received equals
or
exceeds $1,000,000, with respect to Categories I or II Funds, or $250,000 with respect to Category IV or VI Funds,
the purchase will be considered a "jumbo accumulation purchase." With regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors
may make payment to the dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same customer over
the life of his or her account(s).
If
an investor made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund
or Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund on or after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010, and exchanges those shares
for Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, Invesco Distributors will pay 1.00% of such purchase as dealer compensation
upon the exchange. The Class A shares of the Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund received in exchange generally will be subject to a 1.00%
CDSC if the investor redeems such shares within 18 months from the date of exchange.
Payments
for Purchases of Class A Shares at NAV by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans. Invesco Distributors may make the following payments to
dealers of record for purchases of Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) of Category I, II, IV, V or VI Funds by Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans provided that the applicable dealer of record is able to establish that the plan's purchase of such Class
A shares is a new investment (as defined below):
Percent
of Purchases
•
0.50%
of the first $20 million
•
plus
0.25% of amounts in excess of $20 million
A
"new investment" means a purchase paid for with money that does not represent (i) the proceeds of one or
more redemptions of Invesco Fund shares, (ii) an exchange of Invesco Fund shares, (iii) the repayment of one or more Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plan loans that were funded through the redemption of Invesco Fund shares, or (iv) money returned from another
fund family. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession in connection with an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan's or
SIMPLE IRA Plan's purchase of Class A shares at NAV, such shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of net assets for 12 months, commencing
on the date the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan first invests in Class A shares of an Invesco Fund.
If the applicable dealer of record is unable to establish that an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan's or SIMPLE IRA Plan's
purchase of Class A shares at NAV is a new investment, Invesco Distributors will not pay a dealer concession in connection with such purchase
and such shares will not be subject to a CDSC.
With
regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the
dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same plan over the life of the plan's account(s).
Fund
Reorganizations. Class A Shares issued in connection with a Fund's
merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund will not be charged an initial sales charge.
Purchasers
Qualifying For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges. As shown in
the tables above, the applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase may be reduced and will be based on the total of your current
purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. These reductions are available to purchasers
that meet the qualifications listed in the prospectus under "Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions."
How
to Qualify For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges under Rights of Accumulation (ROAs) or Letters
of Intent (LOIs). The following sections discuss different ways
that a purchaser can qualify for a reduction in the initial sales charges for purchases of Class A shares of the Invesco Funds.
Letters
of Intent
A
purchaser may pay reduced initial sales charges by (i) indicating on the Account Application that he, she or
it intends to provide a LOI; and (ii) subsequently fulfilling the conditions of that LOI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund;
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio; and Class A, Class AX or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, as applicable, or Class IB, IC, Y and Investor Class shares of any Invesco Fund, will not be taken into
account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges since they cannot be tied to a LOI.
The
LOI confirms the total investment in shares of the Invesco Funds that the purchaser intends to make within
the next 13 months. By marking the LOI section on the account application and by signing the account application, the purchaser indicates
that he, she or it understands and agrees to the terms of the LOI and is bound by the provisions described below:
Calculating
the Initial Sales Charge
•
Each
purchase of Fund shares normally subject to an initial sales charge made during the 13-month period will be made at the public offering
price applicable to a single transaction of the total dollar amount indicated by the LOI (to determine what the applicable public offering
price is, look at the sales charge table in the section on "Initial Sales Charges" above).
•
It
is the purchaser's responsibility at the time of purchase to specify the account numbers that should be considered in determining the
appropriate sales charge.
•
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.
Calculating
the Number of Shares to be Purchased
•
Purchases
made and shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions prior to the LOI effective date will be applied
toward the completion of the LOI based on the value of the shares calculated at the public offering price on the effective date of the
LOI.
•
If
a purchaser wishes to revise the LOI investment amount upward, he, she or it may submit a written and signed request at 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.
Fulfilling
the Intended Investment
•
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 purchaser's name. If the total investment specified under this LOI is completed within the 13-month
period, the reserved shares will be promptly released, and additional purchases will be subject to the appropriate breakpoint sales charge
based on the account's 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.
Canceling
the LOI
•
If
at any time before completing the LOI Program, the purchaser wishes to cancel the agreement, he or she must give written notice to Invesco
Distributors or its designee.
•
If
at any time before completing the LOI Program the purchaser requests the Transfer Agent to liquidate or transfer beneficial ownership
of his 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.
Other
Persons Eligible for the LOI Privilege
The
LOI privilege is also available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for
tax qualified group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
LOIs
and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
All
LOIs to purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or V Funds or $250,000 or more
of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds are subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
Rights
of Accumulation
A
purchaser may also qualify for reduced initial sales charges under Invesco’s ROA policy. To determine whether
or not a reduced initial sales charge applies to a proposed purchase, Invesco Distributors takes into account not only the money that
is invested upon such proposed purchase, but also the value of all shares of the Invesco Funds owned by such purchaser, calculated at
their then current public offering price.
If
a purchaser qualifies for a reduced sales charge, the reduced sales charge applies to the total amount of
money being invested, even if only a portion of that amount exceeds the breakpoint for the reduced sales charge. For example, if a purchaser
already owns qualifying shares of any Invesco Fund with a value of $30,000 and wishes to invest an additional $30,000 in a Fund with a
maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%, the reduced initial sales charge of 4.50% will apply to the full $30,000 purchase and not just
to the $10,000 in excess of the $50,000 breakpoint.
To
qualify for obtaining the discount applicable to a particular purchase, the purchaser or his dealer must furnish
the Transfer Agent with a list of the account numbers and the names in which such accounts of the purchaser are registered at the time
the purchase is made.
ROAs
are also available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax-qualified
group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
If
an investor's new purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund is at net asset value, the
newly purchased shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if the investor redeems them prior to the end of the 18 month holding period.
Other
Requirements For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges. As discussed
above, investors or dealers seeking to qualify orders for a reduced initial sales charge must identify such orders and, if necessary,
support their qualification for the reduced charge. Invesco Distributors reserves the right to determine whether any purchaser is entitled
to a reduced sales charge based upon the qualifications set forth in the prospectus under "Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales
Charge Exceptions."
Class
A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge. Invesco Distributors
permits certain other investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge, generally as a result of the
investor's
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. It is possible that a financial intermediary may not,
in accordance with its policies and procedures, be able to offer one or more of these waiver categories. If this situation occurs, it
is possible that the investor would need to invest directly through an account without a designated intermediary in order to take advantage
of the waiver. The Funds may terminate or amend the terms of these sales charge waivers at any time.

•
Certain
IRA accounts and payroll deduct IRA programs held directly at Invesco for which intermediaries offered Class A shares without an initial
sales charge, pursuant to an arrangement with OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. prior to May 28, 2019.
Payments
to Dealers. Invesco Distributors may elect to re-allow the entire
initial sales charge to dealers for all sales with respect to which orders are placed with Invesco Distributors or its designee during
a particular period. Dealers to whom substantially the entire sales charge is re-allowed may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term
is defined under the 1933 Act.
The
financial intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales
charges and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees discussed above. In this context, "financial intermediaries" include any broker, dealer, bank
(including bank trust departments), insurance company separate account, transfer agent, registered investment adviser, financial planner,
retirement plan administrator and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco
Distributors or one or more of its corporate affiliates (collectively, the Invesco Distributors Affiliates). In addition to those payments,
Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale
of shares of the Invesco Funds. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors'
retention of underwriting concessions and from payments to Invesco Distributors under Rule 12b-1 plans. In the case of sub-accounting
payments, discussed below, Invesco Distributors Affiliates will be reimbursed directly by the Invesco Funds for such payments. These additional
cash payments are described below. The categories described below are not mutually exclusive. The same financial intermediary, or one
or more of its affiliates, may receive payments under more than one or all categories. Most financial intermediaries that sell shares
of the Invesco Funds receive one or more types of these cash payments. Financial intermediaries negotiate the cash payments to be paid
on an individual basis. Where services are provided, the costs of providing the services and the overall package of services provided
may vary from one financial intermediary to another. Invesco Distributors Affiliates do not make an independent assessment of the cost
of providing such services.
Certain
financial intermediaries listed below received one or more types of the following payments during the
prior calendar year. This list is not necessarily current and will change over time. Certain arrangements are still being negotiated,
and there is a possibility that payments will be made retroactively to financial intermediaries not listed below. Accordingly, please
contact your financial intermediary to determine whether they currently may be receiving such payments and to obtain further information
regarding any such payments.
Financial
Support Payments. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make financial
support payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of Invesco Funds. The benefits Invesco Distributors
Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing Invesco Funds on the financial intermediary's funds
sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary's
sales force or to the financial intermediary's management. Financial support payments are sometimes referred to as "shelf space" payments
because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including Invesco Funds in its Fund sales system (on its sales shelf).
Invesco Distributors Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations
provided by the financial intermediary. In addition, payments typically apply only to retail sales, and may not apply to other types of
sales or assets (such as sales to Retirement and Benefit Plans, qualified tuition programs, or fee based adviser programs – some
of which may generate certain other payments described below).
The
financial support payments Invesco Distributors Affiliates make may be calculated on sales of shares of
Invesco Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price
of all such shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Such payments also may be calculated on the average
daily net assets of the applicable Invesco Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which
case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period.
Sales-Based
Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of Invesco Funds and Asset-Based
Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of Invesco Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Distributors Affiliates
may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Sub-Accounting
and Networking Support Payments. The Transfer Agent, an Invesco
Distributors Affiliate, acts as the transfer agent for the Invesco Funds, registering the transfer, issuance and redemption of Invesco
Fund shares, and disbursing dividends and other distributions to Invesco Funds shareholders. However, many Invesco Fund shares are owned
or held by financial intermediaries, as that term is defined above, for the benefit of their customers. In those cases, the Invesco Funds
often do not maintain an account for the shareholder. Thus, some or all of the transfer agency functions for these accounts are performed
by the financial intermediary. In these situations, Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make payments to financial intermediaries that
sell Invesco Fund shares for certain transfer agency services, including record keeping and sub-accounting shareholder accounts. Payments
for these services typically do not exceed 0.25% (for non-Class R5 shares) or 0.10% (for Class R5 shares) of average annual assets of
such share classes or $19 per annum per shareholder account (for non-Class R5 shares only). No Sub-Accounting or Networking Support payments
will be made with respect to Invesco Funds' Class R6 shares or Institutional Class shares. Invesco Distributors Affiliates also may make
payments to certain financial intermediaries that sell Invesco Fund shares in connection with client account maintenance support, statement
preparation and transaction processing. The types of payments that Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make under this category include,
among others, payment of networking fees of up to $10 per shareholder account maintained on certain mutual fund trading systems.
All
fees payable by Invesco Distributors Affiliates pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service
or sub-accounting agreement are charged back to the Invesco Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board of the Trust.
Other
Cash Payments. From time to time, Invesco Distributors Affiliates,
at their expense and out of their own resources, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries which sell or arrange
for the sale of shares of a Fund. Such compensation provided by Invesco Distributors Affiliates may include payment of ticket charges
per purchase or exchange order placed by a financial intermediary, one-time payments for ancillary services such as setting up funds on
a financial intermediary's mutual fund trading systems, financial assistance to financial intermediaries that enable Invesco Distributors
Affiliates to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives
and other employees, client entertainment, client and investor events, and other financial intermediary-sponsored events, and travel expenses,
including lodging incurred by registered representatives and other employees in connection with client prospecting, retention and due
diligence trips. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by state laws or any self-regulatory agency, such as the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (formerly, NASD, Inc.). Invesco Distributors Affiliates make payments for entertainment
events they deem appropriate, subject to Invesco Distributors Affiliates guidelines and applicable law. These payments may vary depending
upon the nature of the event or the relationship.
Invesco
Distributors Affiliates are motivated to make the payments described above because they promote
the sale of Invesco Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediaries. To the extent financial
intermediaries sell more shares of Invesco Funds or retain shares of Invesco Funds in their clients' accounts, Invesco Distributors Affiliates
benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Distributors Affiliates by the Invesco Funds with respect to those
assets.
In
certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary
may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in the prospectus. You can ask your financial intermediary about
any payments it receives from Invesco Distributors Affiliates or the Invesco Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
You should consult disclosures made by your financial intermediary at the time of purchase.

Purchases
of Class C Shares
Class
C shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Investors in Class
C shares may pay a CDSC if they redeem their shares within the first year after purchase. See the prospectus for additional information
regarding this CDSC. Invesco Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the Invesco
Funds at the time of such sales. Payments with respect to Invesco Funds other than Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Short Term
Bond Fund will generally equal 1.00% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission of 0.75% plus an advance of the first
year service fee of 0.25%. Payments with respect to Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund will equal 0.75% of the purchase price and will consist
of a sales commission of 0.50% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%. Payments with respect to Invesco Short Term Bond
Fund will equal 0.65% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission of 0.40% plus an advance of the first year service
fee of 0.25%. (Invesco Distributors has contractually agreed to waive 0.15% of Rule 12b-1 distribution plan payments of Class C shares
of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund. Unless Invesco Distributors continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2023. While
the fee waiver agreement is in place, payments with respect to Invesco Short Term Bond will equal 0.50% of the purchase price and will
consist of a sales commission of 0.25% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%.) These commissions are not paid on sales
to investors exempt from the CDSC, including shareholders of record of AIM Advisor Funds, Inc. on April 30, 1995, who purchase additional
shares in any of the Invesco Funds on or after May 1, 1995, and in circumstances where Invesco Distributors grants an exemption on particular
transactions.
Payments
with Regard to Converted Class K Shares
For
Class A shares acquired by a former Class K shareholder (i) as a result of a fund merger; or (ii) as a result
of the conversion of Class K shares into Class A shares on October 21, 2005, Invesco Distributors will pay financial intermediaries 0.45%
on such Class A shares as follows: (i) 0.25% from the Class A shares' Rule 12b-1 plan fees; and (ii) 0.20% from Invesco Distributors'
own resources provided that, on an annualized basis for 2005 as of October 21, 2005, the 0.20% exceeds $2,000 per year.
Purchase
and Redemption of Class P Shares
Certain
former investors in the AIM Summit Plans I and II may acquire Class P shares at net asset value. Please
see Invesco Summit Fund's prospectus for details.
Purchases
of Class R Shares
Class
R shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Invesco Distributors
may pay dealers of record an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets and such payments will
commence immediately. For any Class R shares sold on or before January 17, 2020 that received an upfront dealer concession, Invesco Distributors
may pay dealers of record an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets and such payments will
commence in the 13th month from the date of purchase.
Purchases
of Class S Shares
Class
S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic
contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial
intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the
general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to
purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan
combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor's systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option. Class S shares have a 12b-1 fee of 0.15%.
Purchases
of Class Y Shares
Class
Y shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Please
refer to the prospectus for more information.
Purchases
of Investor Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC.
Invesco Distributors may pay dealers and institutions an annual service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and such payments will
commence immediately. The Investor Class is closed to new investors.
Purchases
of Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC.
Please refer to the Class R5 and R6 prospectus for more information.
Exchanges
Terms
and Conditions of Exchanges. Normally, shares of an Invesco Fund
to be acquired by exchange are purchased at their net asset value or applicable offering price, as the case may be, determined on the
date that such request is received. If a shareholder is exchanging into a Fund paying daily dividends, and the release of the exchange
proceeds is delayed for the foregoing five-day period, such shareholder will not begin to accrue dividends until the sixth business day
after the exchange.
Redemptions
General.
Shares of the Invesco Funds may be redeemed directly through the Transfer Agent or through any dealer who has entered into an agreement
with Invesco Distributors. A redemption is effected at the net asset value per share of the applicable Fund next determined after the
redemption request is received in good order. To be in good order, the investor, either directly or through his financial intermediary
must give the Funds’ transfer agent all required information and documentation. Payments from a redemption generally constitute
taxable events. Because such payments are funded by the redemption shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains
or losses, rather than in ordinary income.
An
investor or a financial intermediary may submit a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent for correction
of transactions involving Fund shares. If the Funds’ transfer agent agrees to correct a transaction, and the correction requires
a dividend adjustment, the investor or the intermediary must agree in writing to reimburse the Funds for any resulting loss.
Payment
for redeemed institutional shares is normally made by Federal Reserve wire to the bank account designated
in the investor’s account application, while payment for redeemed retail shares is normally made by check, but may be sent electronically
by either Federal Reserve wire or ACH at the investor’s request. Any changes to bank instructions must be submitted to the Funds’
transfer agent in writing. The Funds’ transfer agent may request additional documentation. For funds that allow checkwriting, if
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge,
the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your
account’s
value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account or try to close your
account by writing a check.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may request that an intermediary maintain separate master accounts in the Funds
for shares held by the intermediary (a) for its own account, for the account of other institutions and for accounts for which the intermediary
acts as a fiduciary; and (b) for accounts for which the intermediary acts in some other capacity. An intermediary may aggregate its master
accounts and sub-accounts to satisfy the minimum investment requirement.
With
regard to Money Market Funds that do not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, if a Fund’s weekly
liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of
the shares redeemed and/or gates on redemptions. In addition, if a Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of its total assets
at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not
doing so is in the best interests of the Fund. For Funds that do not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, when a fee or a gate is
in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
The
Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at
the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates
may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase
of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge
that a fee or a gate is in effect.
The
Board may, in its discretion, permanently suspend redemptions and liquidate if, among other things, a Money
Market Fund, at the end of a business day, has less than 10% of its total assets invested in weekly liquid assets. The Board of the Retail
and Government Money Market Funds may suspend redemptions and liquidate if the Board determines that the deviation between its amortized
cost price per share and its market-based NAV per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing
shareholders.
Systematic
Redemption Plan. A Systematic Redemption Plan permits a shareholder
of an Invesco Fund to withdraw on a regular basis at least $50 per withdrawal. At the time the withdrawal plan is established, the total
account value must be $5,000 or more. Under a Systematic Redemption Plan, all shares are to be held by the Transfer Agent. To provide
funds for payments made under the Systematic Redemption Plan, the Transfer Agent redeems sufficient full and fractional shares at their
net asset value in effect at the time of each such redemption.
Payments
under a Systematic Redemption Plan generally constitute taxable events. Because such payments
are funded by the redemption of shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains or losses, rather than in ordinary
income. Also because sales charges are imposed on additional purchases of Class A shares, it is disadvantageous to effect such purchases
while a Systematic Redemption Plan is in effect.
Each
Invesco Fund bears its share of the cost of operating the Systematic Redemption Plan.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges Imposed upon Redemption of Shares
A
CDSC may be imposed upon the redemption of Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II, IV, V
and VI Funds, upon the redemption of Class C shares. (No CDSC applies to Class A2 shares.) See the prospectus for additional information
regarding CDSCs.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions for Large Purchases of Class A Shares.
An investor who has made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, will not be subject to a CDSC upon
the redemption of those shares in the following situations:
•
Redemptions
of shares held by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA
Plan
in cases where (i) the plan has remained invested in Class A shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a
complete redemption of all Class A shares held by the plan;
•
Redemptions
of shares by the investor where the investor's financial intermediary has elected to waive the amounts otherwise payable to it by Invesco
Distributors and notifies Invesco Distributors prior to the time of investment;
•
Minimum
required distributions made in connection with a Retirement and Benefit Plan following attainment of age 70½ , or older, and only
with respect to that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant's beneficiary account value in
a particular Fund;
•
Redemptions
following the death or post-purchase disability of a registered shareholder or beneficial owner of an account. Subsequent purchases into
such account are not eligible for the CDSC waiver; and
•
Amounts
from a monthly, quarterly or annual Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis,
provided; the investor reinvests his dividends.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions for Class C Shares. CDSCs will
not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares, as applicable:
•
Redemptions
following the death or post-purchase disability of a registered shareholder or beneficial owner of an account. Subsequent purchases into
such account are not eligible for the CDSC waiver;
•
Distributions
from Retirement and Benefit Plans where redemptions result from (i) required minimum distributions to plan participants or beneficiaries
who are age 70½ or older, and only with respect to that portion of such distributions that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant's
or beneficiary's account value in a particular Fund; (ii) in kind transfers of assets where the participant or beneficiary notifies the
distributor of the transfer no later than the time the transfer occurs; (iii) tax-free rollovers or transfers of assets to another Retirement
and Benefit Plan invested in Class C shares of one or more of the Funds; (iv) tax-free returns of excess contributions or returns of excess
deferral amounts; and (v) distributions on the death or disability (as defined in the Code) of the participant or beneficiary;
•
Amounts
from a monthly or quarterly Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis provided
the investor reinvests his dividends;
•
Liquidation
initiated by the Fund when the account value falls below the minimum required account size of $500; and
•
Investment
account(s) of Invesco and its affiliates.
In
addition to the foregoing, CDSCs will not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares:
•
Redemption
of shares held by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans or Employer Sponsored IRAs in cases where (i) the plan has remained
invested in Class C shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a complete redemption of all Class C shares
held by the plan; or
•
A
total or partial redemption of shares where the investor's financial intermediary has elected to waive amounts otherwise payable to it
by Invesco Distributors and notifies Invesco Distributors prior to the time of investment.
It
is possible that a financial intermediary may not be able to offer one or more of the waiver categories described
in this section. If this situation occurs, it is possible that the investor would need to invest directly through an account without a
designated intermediary in order to take advantage of these waivers. Investors should ask their financial intermediary whether they offer
the above CDSCs. The Funds may terminate or amend the terms of these CDSCs at any time.
General
Information Regarding Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions
Good
Order. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
in good order in accordance with the Transfer Agent's policies and procedures and U.S. regulations. The Transfer Agent reserves the right
to refuse transactions. Transactions not in good order will not be processed and once brought into good order, will receive the current
price. To be in good order, an investor or financial intermediary must supply the Transfer Agent with all required information and documentation,
including signature guarantees and notary public stamps as required. In addition, if a purchase of shares is made by check, the check
must be received in good order. This means that the check must be properly completed and signed, and legible to the Transfer Agent in
its sole discretion. If a check used to purchase shares does not clear, or if any investment order must be canceled due to nonpayment,
the investor will be responsible for any resulting loss.
Authorized
Agents. The Transfer Agent and Invesco Distributors may authorize
agents to accept purchase and redemption orders that are in good order on behalf of the Invesco Funds. In certain cases, these authorized
agents are authorized to designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on a Fund's behalf. The Fund will be
deemed to have received the purchase or redemption order when the Fund's authorized agent or its designee accepts the order. The order
will be priced at the net asset value next determined after the order is accepted by the Fund's authorized agent or its designee. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts
it, which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Signature
Guarantees. Acceptable guarantors include banks, broker-dealers,
credit unions, national securities exchanges, savings associations and any other organization, provided that such institution or organization
qualifies as an "eligible guarantor institution" as that term is defined in rules adopted by the SEC, and further provided that such guarantor
institution is listed in one of the reference guides contained in the Transfer Agent's current Signature Guarantee Standards and Procedures,
such as certain domestic banks, credit unions, securities dealers, or securities exchanges. While a notary public stamp may be accepted
in certain limited situations, it is not an acceptable replacement for a signature guarantee. The Transfer Agent will also accept signatures
with either: (1) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp of the STAMP Program, or (2) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp
of the NYSE Medallion Signature Program, provided that in either event, the amount of the total transaction involved does not exceed the
surety coverage amount indicated on the medallion. For information regarding whether a particular institution or organization qualifies
as an "eligible guarantor institution" and to determine how to fulfill a signature guarantee requirement, an investor should contact the
Client Services Department of the Transfer Agent.
Transactions
by Telephone. By signing an account application form, an investor
agrees that the Transfer Agent may surrender for redemption any and all shares held by the Transfer Agent in the designated account(s),
or in any other account with any of the Invesco Funds, present or future, which has the identical registration as the designated account(s).
The Transfer Agent is thereby authorized and directed to accept and act upon any telephone redemptions of shares held in any of the account(s)
listed, from any person who requests the redemption proceeds to be applied to purchase shares in any one or more of the Invesco Funds,
provided that such Fund is available for sale and provided that the registration and mailing address of the shares to be purchased are
identical to the registration of the shares being redeemed. An investor acknowledges by signing the form that he understands and agrees
that the Transfer Agent may not be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone exchange requests effected in accordance
with the authorization set forth in these instructions if they reasonably believe such request to be genuine. Procedures for verification
of telephone transactions may include recordings of telephone transactions (maintained for six months), requests for confirmation of the
shareholder's Social Security Number and current address, and mailings of confirmations promptly after the transactions. The Transfer
Agent reserves the right to modify or terminate the telephone exchange privilege at any time without notice. An investor may elect not
to have this privilege by marking the appropriate box on the application. Then any exchanges must be effected in writing by the investor.
Internet
Transactions. An investor may effect transactions in his account
through the Internet by establishing a Personal Identification Number (PIN). By establishing a PIN the investor acknowledges and agrees
that neither the Transfer Agent nor Invesco Distributors will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any Internet transaction
effected by them in accordance with any instructions submitted by a user who transmits the PIN as authentication of his or her identity.
Procedures for verification of Internet transactions include requests for confirmation of the shareholder's PIN and mailing of confirmations
promptly after the transactions. The investor also acknowledges that the ability to effect Internet transactions may be terminated at
any time by the Invesco Funds. Policies for processing transactions via the Internet may differ from policies for transactions via telephone
due to system settings.
Abandoned
Property. It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure that
the Transfer Agent maintains a correct address for his account(s). An incorrect address may cause an investor's account statements and
other mailings to be returned to the Transfer Agent. Upon receiving returned mail, the Transfer Agent will attempt to locate the investor
or rightful owner of the account. If the Transfer Agent is unable to locate the investor, then it will determine whether the investor's
account has legally been abandoned. The Transfer Agent is legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate
state's unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor's last known address of record determines
which state has jurisdiction.
Retirement
and Benefit Plans Sponsored by Invesco Distributors. Invesco Distributors
acts as the prototype sponsor for certain types of Retirement and Benefit Plan documents. These Retirement and Benefit Plan documents
are generally available to anyone wishing to invest Retirement and Benefit Plan assets in the Funds. These documents are provided subject
to terms, conditions and fees that vary by plan type. Contact your financial intermediary for details.
Miscellaneous
Fees. In certain circumstances, the intermediary maintaining the
shareholder account through which your Fund shares are held may assess various fees related to the maintenance of that account, such as:
•
an
annual custodial fee on accounts where Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor;
•
expedited
mailing fees in response to overnight redemption requests; and
•
copying
and mailing charges in response to requests for duplicate statements.
Please
consult with your intermediary for further details concerning any applicable fees.
Offering
Price
The
following formula may be used to determine the public offering price per Class A share of an investor’s
investment:
Net
Asset Value / (1 – Sales Charge as % of Offering Price) = Offering Price. For example, at the close of business
on August 31, 2022, a Fund – Class A shares had a net asset value per share of $10.33. The offering price, assuming an initial
sales charge of 5.50%, therefore was $10.93.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Invesco Funds are offered at net asset value.
The
offering price of each money market fund's shares is the Fund's net asset value per share. The Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco Government Money Market Fund value their portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost,
which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds
cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Calculation
of Net Asset Value
Each
Invesco Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, generally determines its net asset
value per share once daily on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary
close of regular trading) or earlier in the case of a
scheduled
early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, generally still will determine the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time
on each business day. The Invesco Funds determine net asset value per share by dividing the value of an Invesco Fund's securities, cash
and other assets (including interest accrued but not collected) attributable to a particular class, less all its liabilities (including
accrued expenses and dividends payable) attributable to that class, by the total number of shares outstanding of that class. Determination
of an Invesco Fund's net asset value per share is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Generally, the portfolio
securities for non-money market funds are recorded in the NAV no later than trade date plus one, except on fiscal quarter ends, such securities
are recorded on trade date. For money market funds, portfolio securities are recorded in the NAV on trade date, as described below. Under
normal circumstances, market valuation and fair valuation, as described below, are not used to determine share price for money market
funds that seek to maintain a constant NAV because shares of money market funds are valued at amortized cost, as described below.
With
respect to non-money market funds, the net asset value for shareholder transactions may be different
than the net asset value reported in the Invesco Fund's financial statement due to adjustments required by generally accepted accounting
principles made to the net asset value of the Invesco Fund at period end.
Futures
contracts may be valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally
traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked
prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange
are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. A security listed or traded on an exchange (excluding
convertible bonds) held by an Invesco Fund is valued at its last sales price or official closing price on the exchange where the security
is principally traded or, lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing
bid price on that day. Each equity security traded in the over-the-counter market is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent
pricing services vendors or market makers. Debt securities (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an
evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing vendor. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing vendor may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments
related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics
and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes
furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations
the mean between the last bid and ask prices. Senior secured floating rate loans, corporate loans and senior secured floating rate debt
securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing
service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics,
institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment
companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.
Generally,
trading in corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and money
market instruments is substantially completed each day prior to the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE. The values of
such securities used in computing the NAV of an Invesco Fund's shares are determined at such times. Occasionally, events affecting the
values of such securities may occur between the times at which such values are determined and the close of the customary trading session
of the NYSE. If the Adviser believes a development/event has actually caused a closing price to no longer reflect current market value,
the closing price may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected security as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good
faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE.
If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the
securities
will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before
the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unrepresentative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (unreliable).
If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that
are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Adviser may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred
that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security
at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. Adjustments to closing prices to
reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical
data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of
the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of
current market value, the Adviser will use the indication of fair value from the pricing vendor to determine the fair value of the security.
The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Multiple factors may be considered by the
pricing vendor in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary
Receipts, domestic and foreign index futures, and exchange-traded funds.
Invesco
Fund securities primarily traded in foreign markets may be traded in such markets on days that are
not business days of the Invesco Fund. Because the NAV per share of each Invesco Fund is determined only on business days of the Invesco
Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of an Invesco Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when an investor
cannot exchange or redeem shares of the Invesco Fund.
Securities
for which market quotations are not available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined
in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related
procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed
in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.
Calculation
of Net Asset Value (Certain Invesco Money Market Funds)
The
Board has established procedures, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, designed to stabilize
each Fund’s net asset value per share at $1.00, to the extent reasonably possible. Such procedures include daily calculation of
the extent of the deviation, if any, of the current net asset value per share using available market quotations from the fund’s
amortized cost price per share, and the periodic review by the Trustees of the amount of such deviation. The reviews are used to determine
whether net asset value, calculated by using available market quotations, deviates from $1.00 per share and, if so, whether such deviation
may result in material dilution or is otherwise unfair to investors or existing shareholders. In the event the trustees determine that
a material deviation exists, they intend to take such corrective action as they deem necessary and appropriate. Such actions may include
selling portfolio securities prior to maturity in order to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity, withholding
dividends, redeeming shares in kind, or establishing a net asset value per share by using available market quotations. When available
market quotations are used to establish the market-based net asset value, the net asset value could possibly be more or less than $1.00
per share. The Funds intend to comply with any amendments made to Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act which may require corresponding
changes in the Funds’ procedures which are designed to stabilize each Fund’s price per share at $1.00.
Under
the amortized cost method, each investment is valued at its cost and thereafter any discount or premium
is amortized on a constant basis to maturity. Although this method provides certainty of valuation, it may result in periods in which
the amortized cost value of the Funds’ investments is high or lower than the price that would be received if the investments were
sold.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Invesco Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Invesco Funds
reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by
making
payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). For instance, an Invesco Fund
may make a redemption in kind if a cash redemption would disrupt its operations or performance. Securities that will be delivered as payment
in redemptions in kind will be valued using the same methodologies that the Invesco Fund typically utilizes in valuing such securities.
Shareholders receiving such securities are likely to incur transaction and brokerage costs on their subsequent sales of such securities,
and the securities may increase or decrease in value until the shareholder sells them. The Trust, on behalf of the Invesco Funds, made
an election under Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act (a Rule 18f-1 Election) and therefore, the Trust, on behalf of an Invesco Fund, is obligated
to redeem for cash all shares presented to such Invesco Fund for redemption by any one shareholder in an amount up to the lesser of $250,000
or 1% of that Invesco Fund's net assets in any 90-day period. The Rule 18f-1 Election is irrevocable while Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act
is in effect unless the SEC by order permits withdrawal of such Rule 18f-1 Election.
Backup
Withholding
Accounts
submitted without a correct, certified taxpayer identification number (TIN) or, alternatively, a correctly
completed and currently effective IRS Form W-8 (for non-resident aliens) or Form W-9 (for U.S. persons including resident aliens) accompanying
the registration information, generally will be subject to backup withholding.
Each
Invesco Fund, and other payers, generally must withhold 24% of reportable dividends (whether paid in
cash or reinvested in additional Invesco Fund shares), including exempt-interest dividends, in the case of any shareholder who fails to
provide the Invesco Funds with a TIN and a certification that he is not subject to backup withholding.
An
investor is subject to backup withholding if:
1.
The investor fails to furnish a correct TIN to the Invesco Fund;
2.
the IRS notifies the Invesco Fund that the investor furnished an incorrect TIN;
3.
the investor or the Invesco Fund is notified by the IRS that the investor is subject to backup withholding because the investor failed
to report all of the interest and dividends on such investor’s tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only);
4.
the investor fails to certify to the Invesco Fund that the investor is not subject to backup withholding under (3) above (for reportable
interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only); or
5.
the investor does not certify his TIN. This applies only to non-exempt mutual fund accounts opened after 1983.
Interest
and dividend payments are subject to backup withholding in all five situations discussed above. Redemption
proceeds are subject to backup withholding only if (1), (2) or (5) above applies.
Certain
payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding and information reporting. Invesco or the
Transfer Agent will not provide Form 1099 to those payees.
Investors
should contact the IRS if they have any questions concerning withholding.
IRS
Penalties. Investors who do not supply the Invesco Funds with a
correct TIN will be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS unless such failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect.
If an investor falsifies information on this form or makes any other false statement resulting in no backup withholding on an account
which should be subject to backup withholding, such investor may be subject to a $500 penalty imposed by the IRS and to certain criminal
penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
Nonresident
Aliens. Nonresident alien individuals and foreign entities with
a valid Form W-8 are not subject to the backup withholding previously discussed. The Form W-8 generally remains in effect for a period
starting on the date the Form is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year. Such shareholders may, however,
be subject to federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate on ordinary income dividends and other distributions. Under applicable treaty
law, residents of treaty countries may qualify for a
reduced
rate of withholding or a withholding exemption. Nonresident alien individuals and some foreign entities
failing to provide a valid Form W-8 may be subject to backup withholding and Form 1099 reporting.

APPENDIX
P – SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS
As
explained in the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund’s investments are highly sensitive to the fiscal stability of the
jurisdictions in which the Fund principally invests, including the subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities or authorities of those jurisdictions
that issue municipal securities contained in the Fund’s portfolio. You should consider carefully the special risks inherent in
the Fund’s investments in municipal securities.
The
Fund may invest in municipal securities issued by certain territories, commonwealths and possessions
of the United States that pay interest that is exempt (in the opinion of the issuer’s legal counsel when the security is issued)
from federal income tax. Therefore, the Fund’s investments could be affected by the fiscal stability of, for example, Puerto Rico,
Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Mariana Islands. Additionally, the Fund’s investments could be affected by economic,
legislative, regulatory or political developments affecting issuers in those territories, commonwealths or possessions.
The
following information represents a summary of the risks associated with the concentration of the Fund’s
investments in the municipal securities of these jurisdictions. This information is intended to supplement the information contained in
the Fund’s prospectus, and does not purport to be a complete analysis of every risk factor that may affect the obligations of the
issuers of these municipal securities.
The
following information is based on publicly available reports prepared by officials of each jurisdiction’s government
or their designees. The information may also be based on official statements and other offering documents relating to securities issued
by or on behalf of these jurisdictions, their agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions, as available on of the date of this
Statement of Additional Information. Although this information is generally compiled from government resources, the Fund does not make
any representation as to the accuracy of the information contained herein. Municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure
obligations as other bond issuers, which may impact the reliability of the information provided by municipal issuers that is used to determine
fund investments and can potentially make investments in municipal securities riskier than other investments. The Fund has not independently
verified this information and the Fund does not have any obligation to update this information throughout the year.
In
addition, this information is subject to change rapidly, substantially and without notice. Such changes may
negatively impact the fiscal condition of the jurisdictions in which the Fund invests, which could harm the performance of the Fund. Accordingly,
inclusion of the information herein shall not create an implication that there has not been any change in the affairs of the relevant
jurisdictions since the date of this Statement of Additional Information. More information about the specific risks facing each jurisdiction
may be available from official resources published by those jurisdictions.
The
bond ratings provided below are current as of the date specified. Unless otherwise stated, the ratings indicated
are for obligations of the jurisdiction referenced below. The political subdivisions of a given jurisdiction may have different ratings
that are unrelated to the ratings assigned to the obligations of the state, commonwealth or territory. Investors should note that the
creditworthiness of obligations issued by a jurisdiction’s local municipal issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of
obligations issued by the jurisdiction itself, and that there may be no obligation on the part of the jurisdiction to make payment on
such local obligations in the event of default.
To
the extent that any statements made below involve matters of forecasts, projections, opinions, assumptions
or estimates, whether or not expressly stated to be such, they are made as such and not as representations of fact or certainty, and no
representation is made that any of these statements have been or will be realized. All forecasts, projections, assumptions, opinions or
estimates are “forward looking statements,” which must be read with an abundance of caution because they may not be realized
or may not occur in the future.
In
addition, investors should note that municipal securities may be more susceptible to being downgraded,
and issuers of municipal securities may be more susceptible to default, insolvency or bankruptcy, during recessions or similar periods
of economic stress. Factors contributing to the economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections, lower sales
tax revenue and lower income
tax
revenue, among others. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks
and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn or if the
credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization.
Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the municipal securities and thus
the value of the Fund’s investments in those securities.
Recent
downgrades of certain municipal securities insurers have negatively impacted the price of certain insured
municipal securities. Given the large number of potential claims against municipal securities insurers, there is a risk that they will
be unable to meet all future claims. Certain municipal issuers either have been unable to issue securities or access the market to sell
their issues. For some issuers that have been able to access the market, they have had to issue securities at much higher rates, which
may reduce revenues available for the municipal issuers to pay existing obligations.
Should
a jurisdiction, or its applicable municipalities or subdivisions, fail to sell their securities when and at the
rates projected, the jurisdiction or its subdivisions could experience a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year.
An
insolvent municipality may take steps to reorganize its debt, which might include extending debt maturities,
reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or taking other measures that may significantly affect the rights of
creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of the Fund’s investments in those securities.
Pursuant to Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, certain municipalities that meet specific conditions may be provided protection from
creditors while they develop and negotiate plans for reorganizing their debts. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides that individual U.S.
states are not permitted to pass their own laws purporting to bind non-consenting creditors to a restructuring of a municipality’s
indebtedness, and thus all such restructurings must be pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico
Introduction.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth”) is in the midst of a profound fiscal, economic and liquidity crisis,
the culmination of many years of significant governmental deficits, a prolonged economic recession (which commenced in 2006), high unemployment,
population decline, and high levels of debt and pension obligations. Further stressing the Commonwealth’s liquidity are large healthcare,
pension and debt service costs. As the Commonwealth’s tax base has shrunk and its revenues affected by prevailing economic conditions,
healthcare, pension, and debt service costs have become an increasing portion of the General Fund budget, which has resulted in reduced
funding available for other essential services. The Commonwealth’s very high level of debt and unfunded pension liabilities and
the resulting required allocation of revenue to service debt and pension obligations have contributed to significant budget deficits during
the past several years, which deficits the Commonwealth has financed, further increasing the amount of its debt. Certain issuers of Puerto
Rico municipal securities have failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults
may be likely to occur in the future. These financial challenges have been compounded by the two hurricanes that impacted the Commonwealth
in 2017, the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Puerto Rico in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, and hurricane Fiona in 2022.
On
June 30, 2016, the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA)
was signed into law by President Obama. PROMESA established a federally-appointed oversight board (the Oversight Board) to oversee the
Commonwealth’s financial operations and allows the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities, with approval of the Oversight Board,
to file cases to restructure debt and other obligations in a “Title III” proceeding. U.S. territories do not have the ability
to file for bankruptcy under the federal Bankruptcy Code. Title III incorporates many provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Code, and incorporates
legal mechanisms for a litigation stay and restructuring of pension and debt obligations, among other provisions. Title III petitions
were filed for, among others, the Commonwealth, the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (COFINA), and the Puerto Rico Electric
Power Authority (PREPA), three of the largest issuers of Commonwealth debt. It is possible that petitions under Title III or other provisions
of PROMESA,
including
Title VI, for additional Commonwealth instrumentalities will be filed in the future. These restructuring proceedings create uncertainty
as to the treatment of claims of varying degrees of seniority in the levels and priorities of payment from the affected entities.
Puerto
Rico’s economy has major components in Trade, Transportation and Utilities,
Professional and Business Services, and Education and Health Services.
In addition, government agencies at the local and federal levels employ a significant number of the Commonwealth’s residents. Based
on March 2020 data, these sectors employed 59% of the Commonwealth’s workers. Because these sectors represent the largest share
of employment in the Commonwealth, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the
value of the Commonwealth’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
There
can be no assurances that the Commonwealth will not continue to face severe fiscal stress or that such
circumstances will not become even more difficult in the future. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that future developments will
not have a materially adverse impact on the Commonwealth’s finances. Any deterioration in the Commonwealth’s financial condition
may have a negative effect on the payment of principal and interest, the marketability, liquidity or value of the securities issued by
the Commonwealth, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current
Economic Climate. Puerto Rico’s civilian labor force consists
of approximately 1.2 million individuals. As of August
2022, Puerto Rico had an unemployment rate of 5.8%, which was down
from 8.2% in August 2021. Puerto Rico’s unemployment rate was higher than the national average of 3.7% in August 2022. Puerto Rico’s
high unemployment continues a trend of high unemployment and a shrinking workforce in the Commonwealth.
On
April
30, 2021, the Commonwealth filed a notice with the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) that the Commonwealth would not file its audited financial statements
for FY2020, as required by its continuing disclosure undertakings.
On
April
11, 2022, the Commonwealth filed its audited financial statements
for fiscal year 2019 with EMMA. Total assets plus deferred outflows of resources and total liabilities plus deferred inflows or resources
of the primary government as of June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $27.4 billion and $86.7 billion, respectively, for a net deficit
of approximately $59.3 billion as of June 30, 2019, compared to a net deficit of approximately $72.3 billion as of June 30, 2018 (as restated).
As was also noted in the audited financial
statements for the 2014 through 2018 fiscal years, the 2019 audited
financial statements noted that there is substantial doubt as to the ability of the primary government and various component units to
continue as a going concern.
Puerto
Rico’s economy is closely linked to the economy of the United States, as most of the external factors
that affect the Commonwealth’s economy (other than oil prices) are determined by the policies and performance of the mainland economy.
In recent years, however, the performance of Puerto Rico’s economy has significantly diverged from the performance of the United
States economy. In May 2018, the Oversight Board projected that the Commonwealth’s real gross national product declined by 13.3%
on a year-over-year basis, due, in part, to adverse effects from hurricanes that impacted the Commonwealth in 2017 (as discussed below).
In addition, in December 2017, Congress enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which subjects companies located in the Commonwealth to a tax
on income generated from certain intellectual property. Previously, companies located in the Commonwealth had been exempt from paying
federal income taxes on such income. It is not presently possible to predict the extent of the impact that the tax will have on the Commonwealth’s
economy. In January 2022,
the Oversight Board noted that since the 2008 recession the Commonwealth’s economy has continued to worsen – Puerto Rico
has seen its gross national product shrink by 20%, labor participation fallen to a record low of 39%, and the Island’s population
fallen by 15%.
Fiscal
Plan and Budget. The Commonwealth has faced a number of significant
fiscal challenges, including a structural imbalance between its General Fund revenues and expenditures. Such challenges contributed to
the passage of PROMESA, which established the Oversight Board and empowered it to approve Puerto Rico’s fiscal plans and budgets.
The Oversight Board is comprised of seven members
appointed
by the President who are nominated by a bipartisan selection process. The budget process requires
the Oversight Board, the Governor, and the Commonwealth’s Legislative Assembly to develop a budget that complies with the fiscal
plan developed by the Oversight Board and the Governor.
On
January 27, 2022, the Oversight Board certified the 2022 Fiscal Plan for Puerto Rico. Relative to the
2021 Fiscal Plan, the 2022 Fiscal Plan arrives at a new
set of expenditure projections that factor in the now-established
debt service and other costs related
to the Plan of Adjustment, as well as additional investments enabled by the increased resources available to the Commonwealth. Priorities
in the 2022 Fiscal Plan include: (i)
investing in the operational capacity of government to deliver
services with civil service reform, including increasing salaries;
(ii) setting aside resources to fund the Commonwealth’s
pension obligations; and (iii) creating
a fiscally responsible post-bankruptcy government. This fiscal plan also introduces the Financial Management Agenda, a plan of action
designed to implement and institutionalize the reforms necessary for the Oversight Board’s termination and Puerto Rico’s
fiscal sustainability
and economic renewal. Separate 2022 Fiscal Plans were certified for Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority
(PRASA) and COFINA in May of 2022 and PREPA in
June
of 2022.
The
2022 Fiscal Plan projects a post-pandemic recovery in FY 2022, followed by limited contraction between
FY 2023 and FY 2026 and real growth again in FY 2027 to FY 2029 (average real growth of -1.5% between FY 2023 and FY 2029). As disaster
relief funding and the spending of COVID-19 federal and local stimulus funds drop off considerably and structural reform growth rates
are muted, gross national product growth returns to its historical negative trend starting in FY2029. Population is estimated to steadily
decline at an average rate of approximately 0.9% annually, due to a combination of outmigration and demographic factors.
There
is no certainty that any certified fiscal plan will be fully implemented, or if implemented will ultimately provide the intended results.
Investors
should be aware that Puerto Rico relies heavily on transfers from the federal government related
to specific programs and activities in the Commonwealth. These transfers include, among others, entitlements for previously performed
services, or those resulting from contributions to programs such as Social Security, Veterans’ Benefits, Medicare and U.S. Civil
Service retirement pensions, as well as grants such as Nutritional Assistance Program grants and Pell Grant scholarships for higher education.
There is considerable uncertainty about which federal policy changes may be enacted in the coming years and the economic impact of those
changes. Due to the Commonwealth’s dependence on federal transfers, any actions that reduce or alter these transfers may cause
increased fiscal stress in Puerto Rico, which may have a negative effect on the value of the Commonwealth’s municipal securities.
Retirement
Systems. The Commonwealth’s retirement systems include the
Employees Retirement System (“ERS”), the Teachers Retirement System (“TRS”) and the Judiciary Retirement System
(“JRS” and together with the ERS and TRS, the “Pension Systems”). As of July 1, 2017, the total actuarial
liabilities for the ERS, the TRS and the JRS were approximately $31.0 billion, $17.0 billion and $700 million, respectively. The total
annual benefits due from the ERS, TRS and JRS for FY2018 totaled approximately $1.5 billion, $700 million, and $25 million, respectively.
In 2017, the Legislative Assembly enacted laws to reform the operation and funding of the Pension Systems. Those laws required the ERS
to sell its assets and transfer the proceeds to the General Fund. In addition, employer contributions to the Pension Systems, which had
been operating on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, were eliminated, and the General Fund assumed any payments that the Pension Systems
could not make. As was noted in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 audited financial statements, substantial doubt existed about each of the retirement
systems’ ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Oversight Board reported in its 2022 Fiscal Plan that, over many
decades, successive Commonwealth governments have failed to adequately fund these retirement plans, and today the ERS, TRS and JRS are
insolvent. Commonwealth expenditures to provide pension benefits are expected to continue constituting 20% of General Fund expenditures
without further action. The Plan of Adjustment (see “Debt” section below) provides that a pension reserve trust will be
established and funded to ensure that future benefits can be supported regardless of the future economic or political situation in the
Commonwealth.
The
Commonwealth may have to make additional contributions to the Pension Systems, which could result
in reduced funding for other priorities, including payments on its outstanding debt obligations. Alternatively, the Commonwealth may be
forced to raise revenue or issue additional debt. Either outcome could increase the pressure on the Commonwealth’s budget, which
could have an adverse impact on a fund’s investments in Puerto Rico.
Debt.
Certain of the Commonwealth’s component units defaulted on debt service payments during fiscal year 2016. As a result, the Governor
issued several executive orders declaring emergency periods and suspending certain transfers and payments with respect to the Commonwealth
and several of its component units. It is expected that the Commonwealth and its component units will need to seek further relief under
existing or potential future laws regarding receivership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and/or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights, to the extent available.
On
July 1, 2016, the Commonwealth and various additional component units were unable to comply with their
scheduled debt service obligations, and defaulted on $911 million of their scheduled debt obligations, including $779 million in general
obligation debt service. Since 2016, the Commonwealth has continued to default on debt service payments for multiple bonds, including
general obligation bonds and those issued by various component units, including PREPA, the Puerto Rico Public Finance Corporation, and
the Puerto Rico Public Building Authority, among others.
In
2017, the Oversight Board filed petitions pursuant to Title III of PROMESA in federal court on behalf the Commonwealth
and certain of its instrumentalities, including the Puerto Rico Electric Power Utility (“PREPA”), to begin proceedings to
restructure their outstanding debt. As a result of these petitions, the ability of the creditors of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities
that have filed for Title III to take action with respect to outstanding obligations were temporarily stayed. The judge assigned to oversee
the Title III proceedings initiated a confidential mediation process administered by five federal judges.
In
February 2019, the U.S. District Court approved the Plan of Adjustment for the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing
Corporation (COFINA), the first debt restructuring completed under PROMESA’s Title III. It reduced COFINA debt by $6 billion, from
$18 billion to $12 billion.
In
August 2019, the PRASA and the Government of Puerto Rico reached
an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Agriculture to a consensual modification of about
$1 billion of outstanding loans under PROMESA’s Section 2017. This agreement lowers PRASA’s debt service payments on the
U.S. Government program loans by about $380 million over the next 10 years and eliminates approximately $1 billion in guaranty claims
against the Puerto Rico Government. Additionally, it provides PRASA with access to $400 million in new federal funding through various
clean water programs over the next five years to support PRASA’s ongoing effort to improve water quality and safety for the people
of Puerto Rico.
On
January
18, 2022, Judge Laura Taylor Swain confirmed the Commonwealth Plan
of Adjustment restructuring approximately $35 billion of debt and other claims against the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Public Buildings
Authority (PBA), and ERS, as
well as more than $50 billion of unfunded pension liabilities. The Plan of Adjustment saves Puerto Rico more than
$50 billion in debt service and reduces outstanding obligations
to just
over $7
billion. On January 18,
2022, the
Title III Court entered its Findings of Fact and Confirmation Order with respect to the Eighth Amended Plan. Between January 28, 2022,
and February 17,
2022,
six appeals of the Confirmation Order were filed in the First Circuit.
By March 11, 2022, the First Circuit denied all parties’ motions for stay pending appeal. On March 15, 2022, the conditions precedent
to the Effective Date of the Eighth Amended Plan were satisfied and/or waived by the Oversight Board, and the plan became effective.
On
the Effective Date, the principal elements of the Eighth Amended Plan were executed reducing the Commonwealth’s
total funded debt obligations from approximately $34.3 billion of prepetition debt to approximately $7.4 billion, representing a total
debt reduction of 78%. This debt reduction will also reduce the Commonwealth’s maximum annual debt service (inclusive of COFINA)
from approximately $4.2 billion to $1.15 billion, representing a total debt service reduction of 73%. Also
as of the Effective Date, all of the
legacy
Commonwealth general obligation bonds, ERS bonds, and PBA bonds were discharged, and all
of the Commonwealth, ERS, and PBA obligations and guarantees related thereto were discharged.
In addition, all Commonwealth laws that required the transfer of
funds from the Commonwealth to other entities have been deemed preempted, and the Commonwealth has no obligation to transfer additional
amounts pursuant to those laws. Importantly, effectuating the Eighth Amended Plan provides a path for Puerto Rico to access the credit
markets and develop balanced annual budgets.
A
critical component of the Eighth Amended Plan is the post-effective date issuance of new general obligation
bonds (the New GO Bonds) and contingent value instruments (CVIs) that will be used to provide recoveries to GO and PBA bondholders, and
to Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority and Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority bondholders under separate restructurings.
With
respect to PREPA’s Title III proceeding, the Oversight Board announced on September 16, 2022 that it
had reached an impasse in mediations with bondholders over the restructuring of PREPA’s debt and filed a required schedule with
the U.S. District Court of Puerto Rico to resume litigation against PREPA bondholders. The Oversight Board also encouraged further mediations
and negotiations with all parties as the litigation progresses.
As
of the date of this SAI, this process is ongoing. Any future negative developments could adversely affect
Fund performance. It is not presently possible to predict the results of all of the restructurings and related planned issuance of the
New GO Bonds and CVIs and other debt securities, but such outcomes will have significant impact on bondholders. If the Commonwealth or
its instrumentalities are unable to obtain favorable results, there would be negative impacts on Fund performance.
Other
Considerations. On September 6, 2017 and September 20, 2017, respectively,
Hurricanes Irma and Maria struck Puerto Rico, causing unprecedented humanitarian, economic, and infrastructure-related damages and upending
the daily lives of Puerto Rico’s over three million residents. Thousands of residents were left homeless, basic utilities were
completely shut down, and schools, hospitals, and businesses were destroyed. Tens of thousands of local residents fled the Island. The
Federal Government’s response has become one of the largest and most complex disaster relief efforts in U.S. history. In addition,
the southwestern part of Puerto Rico has been struck by a swarm of earthquakes that began on December 28, 2019, and continued into 2021.
On September 18, 2022 Hurricane Fiona made landfall, again causing significant infrastructure damages and loss of basic utilities.
With
the onset of the pandemic, the economy of Puerto Rico virtually ground to a halt as the public health imperative
for people to stay at home left all but the most essential workers unable to travel to their places of business. The economy responded
to the vast amount of local and federal stimulus funding, and an economic recovery is now underway, though there is still significant
uncertainty about the future of the Puerto Rican economy.
The
long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are currently unpredictable. The long-term behavioral changes
associated with the pandemic (i.e., reduced travel, increased work from home, reduced activity in large gathering places, etc.) are also
unknown.
Outstanding
issues relating to the potential for a
transition to statehood may also have broad implications for Puerto Rico and its
financial and credit positions.
The power to grant statehood resides with the U.S.
Congress.
Litigation.
In addition to the litigation described above, the Commonwealth,
its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some
of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the Commonwealth might require the Commonwealth
to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings,
it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the
Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s
investments.
Credit
Rating. In February 2014, Puerto Rico's then outstanding general
obligation bonds were downgraded to non-investment grade or “junk” status by Moody's
and S&P. Following multiple further downgrades
S&P discontinued its ratings for the Commonwealth’s
general obligation bonds in
2018 and
Moody's withdrew its ratings for the Commonwealth's general obligation
bonds in 2021. On May 12,
2022, following
the Effective Date of the Plan of Adjustment,
Fitch withdrew its D rating and announced that it will no longer
provide ratings for the Commonwealth.
GUAM
Introduction.
Guam’s economy is heavily dependent upon revenues from tourism
and U.S. federal and military spending. As a result, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sources of revenue may have
a negative effect on the value of Guam’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
Guam
faces significant fiscal challenges including a high unemployment rate, uncertainty in the tourism industry
and a reliance on a foreign workforce affecting key industry segments. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the United States
remains uncertain, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic downturn in the United States or countries such as Japan,
China, or Korea, which provide large sources of tourism to the island, could significantly impact the finances of Guam and, therefore,
its municipal securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in Guam may affect long-term growth prospects and could cause Guam to experience
financial hardship. As a result of these and other factors, Guam has faced fiscal stress in recent years.
From
year-to-year, Guam may experience a number of political, social, economic and environmental circumstances
that influence Guam’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) persistent structural
imbalances; (ii) rising debt levels; (iii) significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v) developments with respect to
the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases, including pandemics and epidemics;
and (vii) U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to Guam. There can be no guarantee that
future developments, including events affecting Guam’s economic and fiscal condition, will not have a materially adverse impact
on Guam’s finances. Any deterioration in Guam’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the marketability, liquidity
or value of the securities issued by Guam, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current
Economic Climate. As of December 2021, Guam’s civilian labor
force consisted of approximately 72,170 individuals. This figure includes citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic
of Marshall Islands, who are authorized by compact to accept employment in the United States and also, citizens of the Republic of Palau
who are authorized by covenant to accept employment in the United States. The unemployment rate in Guam for December 2021 was 7.2%, a
decrease of 0.9 percentage points from the September 2021 figure of 8.1%, and a reduction of 12.2 percentage points from December 2020,
but up 3.6 percentage points from the September 2019 figure pre-pandemic. Guam’s unemployment rate was above the national average
of 3.9% in December 2021. Approximately 76% of Guam’s workforce is employed in the private sector, with the remainder employed
by the federal and local government. Based upon preliminary reports for June
2022, employment in Guam’s private and public sector jobs
increased 3.5%.
Guam’s
2021 gross domestic product was
$6.12 billion. Gross
domestic product for Guam increased 1.1% in 2021 after decreasing 11.4% in 2020. The increase in real domestic product reflected increases
in personal
consumption expenditures, government spending, and private fixed investment. These increases were partly offset by a decline in exports
of goods and services.
In
2021, the Guam economy was affected by the continued federal government response related to the COVID–19
pandemic. Territorial government and consumer spending were supported by federal payments authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020; the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act of 2021; and the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
Guam’s
economy has been and is expected to continue to be significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
While work on most construction projects already in progress continues, certain planned construction projects have been delayed or otherwise
negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may experience further delays or additional negative impacts.
Tourism
has represented the primary source of income for Guam’s economy for over twenty-five years.
Economic, social and political conditions in Japan, South Korea
and throughout the Pacific Rim, and the resulting effect on overseas travel from these countries, are a major determinant of tourism on
Guam. Tourism, particularly from South Korea and Japan, where approximately 85% of visitors originated over the past several fiscal years
(including FY 2021), represents a significant share of the economic activity on Guam. In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, many
countries, including South Korea and Japan, issued shelter-in-place orders and travel restrictions and warnings. As a result of the COVID
19 pandemic, calendar year 2020 visitor arrivals to Guam fell by approximately 80%.
The
United States’ military presence on Guam also contributes significantly to the island’s economy. Its strategic
location close to Asia has increased its importance in the overall military strategy of the United States, but also has exposed Guam to
certain geopolitical risks, including threats of military confrontation. In the years following 2010, Guam began to experience a decrease
in U.S. military personnel as the plan to relocate certain forces from Japan to Guam was delayed. There can be no guarantee that the relocation
will occur or to what extent Guam’s local economy will benefit from any relocation. However, current plans anticipate that approximately
5,000 marines and 1,300 dependents from Okinawa, Japan and other locations will be relocated to Guam by FY 2028, with the first 2,500
marines moving to a new base camp by Fiscal Year 2025. The 2022 National Defense Authorization Act was signed into law on December
27, 2021 and included
approximately $765 million for construction projects on Guam.
Budget.
On February
2, 2022, the Governor of Guam submitted the Executive Budget Proposal
request for FY2023 (Proposed
Budget). The Governor’s proposed $998.1
million budget for 2023 is an increase of $61
million from the adopted FY 2022
budget of $927 million. The Proposed Budget projects $695.8 million in General Fund revenues,
$194.2 million in Special
Fund revenues and
$108.1 million in federal fund match.
Debt.
Guam is prohibited from authorizing or allowing the issuance of
public debt in excess of 10% of the assessed tax valuation of the property in Guam. Public debt does not include bonds or other obligations
payable solely from revenues derived from any public improvement or undertaking, and obligations for the payment of which appropriations
are required on an annual basis. As of October 31, 2020, the public debt of Guam may not exceed $1.35 billion. As of September 30, 2021,
the Government of Guam had $989.3 million total debt outstanding subject to the debt ceiling limitation.
Litigation.
Guam, its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal
proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts,
which if decided against Guam might require Guam to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources.
Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings,
estimate the potential impact on the ability of Guam to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such
proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Natural
Disasters. Like other
Pacific islands, Guam is periodically subject to typhoons and tropical
storms. From 1962 to date, the
eyes of 15 tropical storms passed directly over or just south of the island. During this
period, eight
typhoons caused damage great enough to result in federal disaster
relief. Super Typhoon Karen
in 1962, Typhoon
Pamela
in 1976, Typhoon Russ in 1990,
Super Typhoon Omar in
1992,
Super Typhoon Paka in 1997,
Typhoon Chata’an and Super Typhoon Pongsona in 2002,
and Typhoon Dolphin in 2015.
Although
the United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) makes disaster relief assistance
available after significant typhoon or earthquake damage, there can be no assurance that future typhoons and/or earthquakes will not cause
significant damage to business in Guam, or that FEMA will provide disaster relief assistance if significant damage is experienced. There
can also be no assurance that,
even
with FEMA assistance, damage that results from future typhoons or earthquakes will not adversely affect business
activity on Guam.
Potential
impacts of climate change, including
rising sea levels, excessive rainfall, stronger
tropical storms, drought,
ocean acidification, coral
bleaching,
saltwater intrusion,
storm surges,
rising temperatures and increased migration, may threaten Guam’s
security and resources. The
impact of climate change and climate variability may also have detrimental socioeconomic impacts to Guam.
Credit
rating. On December
16, 2021, S&P affirmed its BB- rating on Guam’s general
obligation debt and
revised its outlook to stable from negative. On May 4, 2021, Moody’s affirmed its Ba1 rating on Guam’s outstanding general
obligation debt and revised the outlook to stable from negative. These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency,
an explanation of which may be obtained from each such rating agency. As of November
18, 2022, the above ratings had not been revised or withdrawn.
There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that it will not be revised or withdrawn entirely
by the rating agencies if, in the judgment of such rating agencies, circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any
such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by Guam or its political subdivisions, instrumentalities
and authorities.
U.S.
VIRGIN ISLANDS
Introduction.
The United States Virgin Islands (“Virgin Islands”)
is an unincorporated territory of the United States with separate executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. The economy
of the Virgin Islands is heavily dependent upon revenues from tourism, but other major sectors of the Virgin Islands’ economy include
the trade, transportation and utilities sector; the professional and business services sector; the leisure and hospitality sector; and
the government sector. As these sectors represent the largest share of employment in the Virgin Islands, economic problems or factors
that adversely impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of the Virgin Islands’ municipal securities, which
may reduce the performance of a fund.
The
economy of the Virgin Islands has faced substantial fiscal challenges in recent years, including damage
to infrastructure caused by natural disasters and widespread diseases, a high unemployment rate, a structural deficit, declining government
revenues, and considerable unfunded pension and healthcare liabilities. The level of public debt in the Virgin Islands may affect long-term
growth prospects and may make it difficult for the Virgin Islands to make full repayment on its obligations. Furthermore, the economic
outlook in the rest of the United States remains uncertain. A future economic downturn in the United States could significantly impact
the finances of the Virgin Islands and, therefore, its municipal securities.
There
can be no guarantee that economic and fiscal conditions in the Virgin Islands will improve or that future
developments will not have a materially adverse impact on the finances of the Virgin Islands. Any deterioration in the Virgin Islands’
financial condition may have a negative effect on the value of the securities issued by the Virgin Islands, which could reduce the performance
of a fund.
Current
Economic Climate. The impact of the pandemic on employment
in the U.S.
Virgin
Islands was substantial.
From February
to May 2020, the Territory’s unemployment rate grew from
4.5% to 13.6% but has since fallen to 5.6% as of August 2022. Exports declined
partially due to the unprecedented losses
in travel and tourism. Tourism is the Territory’s primary
export and the sector most impacted by the pandemic. The industry experienced a near halt to air leisure and business travel in 2020 and
the cancellation of all cruise ship calls throughout most of 2020 and early 2021. Consequently, air visitors fell 35.1% in 2020 to 442,027
from 640,887 in 2019 before rebounding 96.7% to a high of 824,460 in 2021. Cruise passenger visitors plunged
69.3% to 442,027 in 2020 but began to recover in the second
half of 2021
and by year’s end, reached 245,695— still about 82.9%
below the 1.4 million cruise passengers in 2019.
Businesses
also spent less money on construction and equipment, triggering a 27.7% decline in private fixed
investment. In addition, declining government spending from fading disaster response and hurricane recovery activities weighed on gross
domestic product growth, decreasing that component by 4%. Imports fell 10.6%, reflecting declines in imports of goods, including consumer
goods and equipment, and other services.
The
U.S. Census Bureau released the 2020 decennial census counts in 2021. Between 2010 and 2020, the
Virgin Islands’ population fell 18.1%.
As
of August
2022, the Virgin Islands’ had an unemployment rate of approximately
5.6%, which was down from 9.6% in August 2021. The Virgin Islands’ unemployment rate was significantly above the national average
which was 3.7% and 5.2%, respectively, for
the same periods.
The
Virgin Islands’ economy has faced setbacks in recent years largely as a result of the lingering effects of
the economic recession in the United States, the impact of natural disasters, the closure of the HOVENSA petroleum refinery and the COVID-19
pandemic. These factors have placed financial stress on key segments of the Virgin Islands’ economy.
The
tourism sector constitutes a significant portion of the Virgin Islands’ economy. However, because of its
geographical location, the Virgin Islands is subject to natural disasters, including hurricanes, that can cause considerable damage to
the territory and disrupt the tourism industry. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, discussed in more detail below,
caused substantial damage and destruction to the Virgin Islands and significantly disrupted travel. For the one-year period ended August
2018, the number of tourists arriving by air decreased by 47.4% and the number of tourists arriving by cruise ship decreased by 13.3%.
Any additional natural disasters that impact tourism could adversely affect the Virgin Islands’ economy. Furthermore, the Virgin
Islands was closed to tourists from March to May 2020 and from August to September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September
19, 2020, the Virgin Islands has reopened to tourism. However,
the current and long-term impact of the pandemic remains unknown.
The
United States continues to be the primary source of visitors to the Virgin Islands. Therefore, any gains
in the tourism industry are closely related to economic growth in the United States. In order to expand its tourism industry and insulate
the islands from potential economic declines in the United States, the Virgin Islands has begun, in recent years, increasing its tourism
marketing to other countries and regions and is evaluating ways to reposition itself as a leading tourism destination through a private-sector
driven approach.
Important
private sector activities in the Virgin Islands include wholesale and retail trade, leisure and hospitality,
financial activities, and construction and mining activities. The agricultural sector remains small, which requires most of the territory’s
food to be imported. International business and financial services are a small but growing component of the economy.
In
2012, the operators of the HOVENSA oil refinery, one of the largest employers in the Virgin Islands at the
time, announced that they would close the refinery, laying off approximately 1,200 employees and 950 subcontractors. However, in January
2016, Limetree Bay Terminals, LLC and its affiliates (Limetree) finalized its purchase of the HOVENSA oil refinery, including HOVENSA’s
storage and docking facilities. Limetree re-opened the refinery in February 2021. Following multiple major flaring incidents resulting
in significant air pollutant and oil releases, the EPA
issued notices of violations of the Clean Air Act, and ordered
Limetree to pause all operations at the refinery for at least 60 days. In June
2021,
Limetree announced the indefinite closing of its oil refining facility
on the island of St. Croix and the layoff of 271 plant employees. In December 2021 Limetree sold the refinery through a Chapter 11 asset
auction to joint bidders, West Indies Petroleum and Port Hamilton Refining and Transportation. Because of these and subsequent other events,
including West Indies Petroleum’s announcement in June 2022 disavowing ownership of the refinery, ongoing litigation, an August
2022 fire at the refinery, and the September and October 2022 announcements of additional EPA action and reopening requirements, it is
not possible to predict the extent of the impact of the sale of the refinery on the Virgin Islands’ economy.
In
fiscal year 2019, the Virgin Islands reported a total net pension liability for the primary government and component units of $3.2 billion.
Additionally, the Virgin Islands reported an other post-employment benefits liability of $774.5 million in fiscal year 2019. By October
1, 2020, the pension liability totaled approximately $5.78 billion and Virgin Islands officials were continuing to project that the public
pension system would reach insolvency by 2024 absent a reduction in member benefits or infusion of cash into the system.
Overall,
the underlying fundamentals of the Virgin Islands economy are volatile. Increasing unemployment,
decreasing revenues and the loss of many high-paying jobs have combined to place
significant
fiscal pressure on the local government. It is possible that fiscal challenges facing the Virgin Islands could
impact the ability of the territory to satisfy the obligations on its outstanding debt. Any such outcome would likely reduce the value
of the municipal securities issued by the Virgin Islands and its political subdivisions, instrumentalities, and authorities, which may
reduce the performance of a fund.
Budget.
In recent fiscal years, the government has experienced substantial fluctuations in revenues and expenditures, as well as recurring deficits.
The Virgin Islands has taken a series of actions in recent years to reduce the size of its operating budget and address its recurring
operating deficit. However, these actions have not addressed the structural imbalances that have led to recurring deficits. Rather, annual
shortfalls have been addressed by an ad hoc combination of inter-fund transfers and debt financing.
The
Proposed Executive Biennial Budget includes $919.4 million in General
Funds for FY2023 and $921.6 million in General Funds for FY
2024.
The total operating budget including appropriated,
non-appropriated, and federal funds is $1.35 billion
and
$1.34 billion in Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024, respectively.
The
Proposed Executive Biennial
Budget reflects a 100% reduction in transfers
from the
Internal Revenue Matching Fund
(IMRF).
The great majority of revenues collected through the IRMF have
now been pledged towards the reduction of the unfunded liability of the Government Employees Retirement System. There is no guarantee
that the Government’s efforts to reverse the
pending insolvency of the Government Employees Retirement
System through a matching fund special purpose securitization bond
offering will be entirely successful.
Debt.
Current law prohibits the Virgin Islands from authorizing or issuing general obligation bonds in excess of 10% of the aggregate assessed
valuation of taxable real property in the territory. As of September 30, 2019, the net amount of bonds outstanding, including both general
obligation and revenue bonds, was estimated at $2.0 billion. The large fiscal risks faced by the Virgin Islands, coupled with its exclusion
from capital markets, may hamper the Virgin Islands ability to repay its public debts.
Natural
Disasters. In September 2017, two successive hurricanes –
Irma and Maria – caused severe damage to the Virgin Islands. The infrastructure of the Virgin Islands was severely damaged by high
winds and substantial flooding, leaving much of the Virgin Islands without power. According to officials, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused
an estimated $10.76 billion in damage to the public infrastructure and economy of the Virgin Islands. In February 2018, Congress appropriated
$89.3 billion for disaster recovery efforts for areas affected by hurricanes in 2017. Approximately $11 billion of these funds were made
available to the Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and $2 billion was designated to help repair and reconstruct the
electrical system of the islands. Before the storms made landfall, the Virgin Islands was already facing a severe economic crisis due
to mounting debt obligations and declining revenues. There can be no assurances that the Virgin Islands will receive sufficient aid to
rebuild from the damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, and it is not currently possible to predict the long-term impact that Hurricanes
Irma and Maria will have on the Virgin Island’s economy. All these developments have a material adverse effect on the Virgin Island’s
finances and negatively impact the marketability, liquidity and value of securities issued by the Virgin Islands that are held by the
Fund.
Litigation.
The Virgin Islands, its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental
operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the Virgin Islands might require
the Virgin Islands to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective
nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential
impact on the ability of the Virgin Islands to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings
may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit
rating. On October 26, 2021, Moody’s affirmed its Caa3 issuer
rating (with a stable outlook) for the U.S. Virgin Islands. This rating reflects only the view of Moody’s, an explanation of which
may be obtained from that rating agency. As of November
18, 2022, the above rating had not been revised or withdrawn. On
September 28, 2017, Fitch Inc. (“Fitch”) withdrew its implied rating for the Virgin Islands’ general obligation
debt.
Fitch withdrew its ratings due to the Virgin Islands’ communication that it intended to stop participating in the
ratings process, and Fitch indicated that it no longer had sufficient information to maintain the ratings.
NORTHERN
MARIANA ISLANDS
Introduction.
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (the “Commonwealth” or “CNMI”) is a commonwealth of the United
States with a political status similar to that of Puerto Rico. The economy of the Commonwealth is heavily dependent upon revenues from
tourism and transfers from the federal government. As these sources represent a significant share of the Commonwealth’s revenue,
economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sources may have a negative effect on the value of the Commonwealth’s
municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
Although
the Commonwealth has faced significant setbacks, the economy has shown signs of modest growth
in recent years. Such growth in may be slow as the Commonwealth continues to face substantial fiscal challenges including high unemployment,
severe reductions in key industry segments and large government deficits. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the United
States remains uncertain, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic downturn in the United States or countries such as
Japan, China or Korea, which provide large sources of tourism to the islands, could significantly impact the finances of the Commonwealth
and, therefore, its municipal securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in the Commonwealth may affect long-term growth prospects
and could cause the Commonwealth to experience continued financial hardship.
From
year-to-year, the Commonwealth may experience a number of political, social, economic and environmental
circumstances that influence the Commonwealth’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited
to: (i) persistent structural imbalances; (ii) rising debt levels; (iii) significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v)
developments with respect to the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases,
including pandemics and epidemics; and (vii) U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to
the Commonwealth. There can be no guarantee that future developments, including events affecting the Commonwealth’s economic and
fiscal condition, will not have a materially adverse impact on the Commonwealth’s finances. Any further deterioration in the Commonwealth’s
financial condition may have a negative effect on the marketability, liquidity or value of the securities issued by the Commonwealth and
may jeopardize the ability of the Commonwealth to satisfy its obligations on its outstanding debt, which could reduce the performance
of a fund.
Current
Economic Climate. After joining the United States in 1978, the
federal government agreed to exempt the Commonwealth from federal minimum wage and immigration laws in an effort to help stimulate the
Commonwealth’s economy. As a result of these exemptions, the Commonwealth was able to build a large garment industry, which at
one time accounted for nearly 40% of the Commonwealth’s economy. A significant portion of the Commonwealth’s residents and
a large number of temporary workers from throughout the region worked in the textile industry. Critical to this growth was duty-free access
to U.S. markets and local authority over immigration and the minimum wage.
Over
the last two decades, however, the Commonwealth’s economy underwent an involuntary transformation
resulting from federal policy actions that led to the dissolution of the Commonwealth’s garment industry. Following the collapse
of the garment industry, tourism emerged as the major driver of the Commonwealth’s economy. The majority of the Commonwealth’s
visitors are from Japan, Korea, China, and the United States, and federal immigration policy has also greatly impacted tourism in the
Commonwealth. Any future developments that make international travel to the islands more difficult may have a negative impact on the Commonwealth’s
economy. In addition, the relaxation of laws restricting gambling helped to attract outside private investment and spur economic growth.
The
CNMI economy faced challenges prior to the pandemic. It was still recovering from the effects of Super
Typhoon Yutu, which devastated the CNMI in October 2018, causing extensive damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure, including
to the Saipan International Airport.
The
Commonwealth’s real gross domestic product decreased by 19.6% in 2018, after increasing 25.5% in 2017.
The decline primarily reflects decreases in exports of services and private fixed investment that were partly offset by growth in government
spending. Exports of services decreased 38.8% in 2018, due to a decrease in visitor spending. Revenues from casino gambling dropped over
50%. The number of visitors to the Commonwealth decreased 21.5%, reflecting the effects of Typhoon Yutu, which made landfall on Saipan
and Tinian in October 2018. This is in contrast to 2017, which saw record high levels of tourism and casino income.
The
COVID-19 pandemic also had a significant negative impact on tourism, the Commonwealth’s primary industry.
Tourism from Asia declined significantly beginning in January 2020 at the onset of the pandemic, leading to a sharp reduction in anticipated
general revenue. To prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Commonwealth suspended commercial air travel in April 2020 and again
in December 2021. There is considerable uncertainty on its duration, which negatively impacted business in the Commonwealth and resulted
in employee furloughs in the private and public sectors. Other financial impacts could occur though such potential impact is unknown at
this time.
The
Commonwealth also faces certain unique risks, including its reliance on a foreign workforce that has the
potential to result in a labor shortage. In addition, because of its geographical location, the Commonwealth is subject to natural disasters.
The Commonwealth has previously experienced severe weather events that significantly impacted its economy, and any future storms, or other
natural disasters, that have an adverse effect on the Commonwealth’s finances could negatively impact the marketability, liquidity
or value of securities issued by the Commonwealth.
Budget.
The Commonwealth has run a budget deficit for many years, which means spending has consistently outpaced revenue collection. The Commonwealth’s
governmental activities deficit net position increased from $455.8 million (inclusive of prior period adjustments of $404.4 million) to
a deficit net position of $504.7 million, an increase of 10.7% between fiscal years 2018 and 2019.
On
September 30,
2022, the Governor signed into law the Commonwealth’s budget for FY2023 (Enacted Budget). The Enacted Budget identifies total budgetary
resources of approximately $150.4 million, which, after adjustments and transfers, including debt service, would leave $109.8 million
for appropriations during the fiscal year.
Unfunded
liabilities of the Northern Mariana Islands Retirement Fund and minimum annual payments required
to the Northern Mariana Islands Settlement Fund (“NMISF”) as part of a 2013 pension-related settlement present a significant
risk to the fiscal condition of the Commonwealth. Pursuant to law, the Commonwealth is required to make contributions to the retirement
fund each year on an actuarially funded basis toward the annuities related to retirement and other benefits. Due to recurring budget deficits,
the Commonwealth has often delayed or suspended payments to the retirement fund. The Commonwealth has, however, made the minimum annual
payments to the NMISF for FY2016, FY2017, FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020 of $30 million, $33 million, $45 million, $44 million and $42 million,
respectively. There can be no guarantee in the future that the Commonwealth’s pension fund will not face additional financial risk,
including the possibility of going bankrupt, or that the Commonwealth will be able to make required payments.
Debt.
As of September 30, 2019, the Commonwealth had $66.3 million in long-term debt outstanding, which represents a net decrease of $4.9 million
or 7.0% from the prior year. The expected annual debt service requirements on the Commonwealth’s general obligation bonds are $8.51
million for FY2020 and $6.98 million for FY2021. Total public debt outstanding per capita decreased from $2,308
in FY2017 to $1,958 in FY2019.
Natural
Disasters. The Commonwealth underwent two typhoons during the months
of September and October 2018. Typhoon Mangkhut destroyed much of the resources for the island of Rota, and Super Typhoon Utu devastated
the islands of Tinian and Saipan. The disasters had detrimental effects on the Commonwealth’s economic activity, leaving two main
sectors of the economy (tourism and gaming) at a standstill for the first quarter of the 2019 fiscal year. These events had a material
adverse effect on the
Commonwealth’s
finances and may negatively impact the payment of principal and interest, marketability, liquidity,
and value of securities issued by the Commonwealth that are held by the Fund.
Litigation.
The Commonwealth, its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental
operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the Commonwealth might require
the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature
of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential impact
on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may
have on a fund’s investments.
Credit
rating. On December 9. 2019, Moody’s assigned the Commonwealth
an issuer rating of Ba3 with a negative outlook. On April 1, 2020, Moody's withdrew its issuer rating for the Commonwealth of Ba3
with a negative outlook.
S&P,
Fitch and Moody’s do not currently maintain a credit rating
for CNMI general obligation debt (confirmed as of November
18, 2022).

Shares
of Beneficial Interest
Shares
of beneficial interest of the Trust are redeemable at their net asset value at the option of the shareholder
or at the option of the Trust, in accordance with any applicable provisions of the Trust Agreement and applicable law, subject in certain
circumstances to a contingent deferred sales charge, if applicable.
The
Trust allocates cash and property it receives from the issue or sale of shares, together with all assets in
which such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, to the appropriate Fund,
subject only to the rights of creditors of the Fund. These assets constitute the assets belonging to the Fund, are segregated on the Trust’s
books, and are charged with the liabilities and expenses of the Fund and its respective classes. The Trust allocates any general liabilities
and expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular Fund primarily on the basis of relative net assets or
other relevant factors, subject to oversight by the Board.
Each
share of the Fund represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund with each other share and is entitled
to dividends and other distributions with respect to the Fund, which may be from income, capital gains,
capital or distributions in kind, as declared by the Board.
Each
class of shares of a Fund represents a proportionate undivided interest in the net assets belonging to
that Fund. Differing sales charges and expenses will result in differing net asset values and dividends and distributions.
Upon any liquidation of the Trust, shareholders of each class are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets belonging to the applicable
Fund allocable to such class available for distribution after satisfaction of, or reasonable provision for, the outstanding liabilities
of the Fund allocable to such class.
The
Trust Agreement provides that each shareholder, by virtue of having become a shareholder of the Trust,
is bound by terms of the Trust Agreement and the Trust’s Bylaws. Ownership of shares does not make shareholders third party beneficiaries
of any contract entered into by the Trust.
The
Trust is not required to hold annual or regular meetings of shareholders. Meetings of shareholders of the
Fund or class will be held for any purpose determined by the Board, including from time to time to consider matters requiring a vote of
such shareholders in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, state law or the provisions of the Trust Agreement. It is not expected
that shareholder meetings will be held annually.
The
Trust Agreement provides that the Board may authorize (i) a merger, consolidation or sale of assets (including,
but not limited to, mergers, consolidations or sales of assets between two Funds, or between the Fund and a series of any other registered
investment company), and (ii) the combination of two or more classes of shares of the Fund into a single class, each without shareholder
approval but subject to applicable requirements under the 1940 Act and state law.
Each
share of the Fund generally has the same voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights; however, each
class of shares of a Fund is subject to different sales loads, conversion features, exchange privileges and class-specific expenses, as
applicable.
Except
as specifically noted above, shareholders of the Fund are entitled to one vote per share (with proportionate
voting for fractional shares), irrespective of the relative net asset value of the shares of the Fund. However, on matters affecting an
individual Fund or class of shares, a separate vote of shareholders of the Fund or class is required. Shareholders of the Fund or class
are not entitled to vote on any matter which does not affect the Fund or class but that requires a separate vote of another Fund or class.
An example of a matter that would be voted on separately by shareholders of the Fund is the approval of the advisory agreement with Invesco
Advisers, Inc. (the Adviser or Invesco).
When
issued, shares of the Fund are fully paid and nonassessable, have no preemptive or subscription rights,
and are freely transferable. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in connection with the election of Trustees or on any other matter.
Under
Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust shall be entitled to the same limitation of personal
liability extended to shareholders of private for-profit corporations organized under Delaware law. There is a remote possibility, however,
that shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held liable for the obligations of the Trust to the extent the courts of another
state, which does not recognize such limited liability, were to apply the laws of such state to a controversy involving such obligations.
The Trust Agreement disclaims shareholder personal liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of the Trust and requires
that every undertaking of the Trust or the Board relating to the Trust or the Fund include a recitation limiting such obligation to the
Trust and its assets or to one or more of the Fund and the assets belonging thereto. The Trust Agreement provides for indemnification
out of the property of the Fund (or Class, as applicable) for all losses and expenses of any shareholder of such Fund held personally
liable solely on account of being or having been a shareholder.
The
trustees and officers of the Trust will not be liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any
trustee or officer; however, a trustee or officer is not protected against any liability to the Trust or to the shareholders to which
a trustee or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office with the Trust or the Fund (Disabling Conduct). The Trust’s Bylaws generally
provide for indemnification by the Trust of the trustees, officers and employees or agents of the Trust, provided that such persons have
not engaged in Disabling Conduct. Indemnification does not extend to judgments or amounts paid in settlement in any actions by or in the
right of the Trust. The Trust Agreement also authorizes the purchase of liability insurance on behalf of trustees and officers with Fund
assets. The Trust’s Bylaws provide for the advancement of payments of expenses to current and former trustees, officers and employees
or agents of the Trust, or anyone serving at their request, in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim,
action, suit or proceeding, for which such person would be entitled to indemnification; provided that any advancement of expenses would
be reimbursed unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
The
Trust Agreement provides that any Trustee who serves as chair of the Board,
a member or chair of a committee of the Board, lead independent
Trustee, or an expert on any topic or in any area (including an audit committee financial expert), or in any other special appointment
will not be subject to any greater standard of care or liability because of such position.
The
Trust Agreement provides a detailed process for the bringing of derivative actions by shareholders. A shareholder
may only bring a derivative action on behalf of the Trust if certain conditions are met. Among
other
things, such conditions: (i) require shareholder(s) to make a pre-suit demand on the Trustees (unless such
effort is not likely to succeed because a majority of the Board or the committee established to consider the merits of such action are
not independent Trustees under Delaware law); (ii) require 10% of the beneficial owners to join in the pre-suit demand, or if a pre-suit
demand is not required, require 10% of beneficial owners to join in the demand for the Board to commence such action; and (iii) afford
the Trustees a reasonable amount of time to consider the request and investigate the basis of the claims (including designating a committee
to consider the demand and hiring counsel or other advisers). These conditions generally are intended to provide the Trustees with the
ability to pursue a claim if they believe doing so would be in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders and to preclude the
pursuit of claims that the Trustees determine to be without merit or otherwise not in the Trust’s best interest to pursue.
The
Trust Agreement also generally requires that actions by shareholders in connection with or against the
Trust or the Fund be brought only in certain Delaware courts,
provided that actions arising under the U.S. federal securities
laws are required to be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and that the right to jury trial
be waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Share
Certificates
Shareholders
of the Fund do not have the right to demand or require the Trust to issue share certificates and
share certificates are not issued. Any certificate previously issued with respect to any shares is deemed to be cancelled without any
requirement for surrender to the Trust.
DESCRIPTION
OF THE FUND AND ITS INVESTMENTS AND RISKS
Classification
The
Trust is an open-end management investment company. The Fund is classified as "diversified" for purposes
of the 1940 Act.
Investment
Strategies and Risks
Set
forth below are detailed descriptions of the various types of securities and investment techniques that Invesco
and/or the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein) may use in managing the Fund, as well as the risks associated with those types of securities
and investment techniques. The descriptions of the types of securities and investment techniques below supplement the discussion of principal
investment strategies and risks contained in the Fund's Prospectus. Where a particular type of security or investment technique is not
discussed in a Fund’s Prospectus, that security or investment technique is not a principal investment strategy.
A Fund
may invest in all of the following types of investments. A Fund might not invest in all of these types of
securities or use all of these techniques at any one time. Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers may invest in other types of securities and
may use other investment techniques in managing the Fund as well as securities and techniques not described. A Fund’s
transactions in a particular type of security or use of a particular technique is subject to limitations imposed by a Fund’s
investment objective, policies and restrictions described in that Fund’s Prospectus and/or this SAI, as well as the federal
securities laws.
Unless
the Fund’s prospectus or this SAI states
that a percentage limitation or fundamental or non-fundamental
restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment. That means the Fund is not required
to sell securities to meet the
percentage limits or investment restrictions if the value
of the investment increases
in proportion
to the size of the Fund.
Percentage limits on borrowing apply on an ongoing basis.
The
Fund's investment objectives, policies, strategies and practices described below are non-fundamental and
may be changed without approval of the holders of the Fund's voting securities, unless otherwise indicated.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans. Among other debt securities described elsewhere
in this SAI, the Fund may invest in loans, and in particular, in floating rate loans (sometimes referred to as “adjustable”
rate loans) that hold (or in the judgment of the Adviser, hold) a senior position in the capital structure of U.S. and foreign
corporations,
partnerships or other business entities that, under normal circumstances, allow them to have priority
of claim ahead of (or at least as high as) other obligations of a borrower in the event of liquidation. These investments are referred
to as “Senior Loans” in this SAI. Loans typically are arranged through private negotiations between a borrower and one or
more financial institutions (Lenders). Usually the Lenders are represented by an agent (Agent), which usually is one of the Lenders. The
borrowers may use the proceeds of loans to finance leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, debt
refinancings, or for other purposes.
Senior
loans typically have higher recoveries than other debt obligations that rank lower in the priority of payments
for a particular debtor, because in most instances they take preference over those subordinated debt obligations, with respect to payment
of interest and principal, and over stock. However, the Fund is still subject to the risk that the borrower under a loan will default
on scheduled interest or principal payments and that the assets of the borrower to which the Fund has recourse will be insufficient to
satisfy in full the payment obligations that the borrower has to the Fund. The risk of default will increase in the event of an economic
downturn or, in the case of a floating rate loan, a substantial increase in interest rates (because the cost of the borrower’s
debt service will increase as the interest rate on its loan is upwardly adjusted). The Fund may own a debt obligation of a borrower that
becomes, or is about to become, insolvent. The Fund can also purchase debt obligations that are extended to a bankrupt entity (so called
debtor-in-possession or ‘DIP’ financing) or debt obligations that are issued in connection with a restructuring of the borrower
under bankruptcy laws.
Agents
typically are commercial or investment banks that originate loans and invite other parties to join the
lending syndicate. In larger transactions, it is common to have several Agents. However, only one Agent usually has primary responsibility
for documentation and administration of the loan. Agents are normally paid fees by the borrower for their services. While the Fund can
serve as the Agent or co-agent for a loan, the Fund currently does not intend to act as an Agent or co-Agent. Agents, acting on behalf
of the Lenders, generally are primarily responsible for negotiating the loan agreement, which establishes the terms and conditions of
the loan and the rights of the borrower and the Lenders. The Fund will rely on Agents to collect payments of principal and interest on
a loan. The Fund also will rely in part on Agents to monitor compliance by the borrower with the restrictive covenants in the loan agreement
and to notify the Fund (or the Lender from whom the Fund has purchased a participation) of any adverse change in the borrower’s
financial condition.
Loans
may be secured or unsecured. Where a loan is secured, Agents usually monitor the adequacy of assets
that collateralize loans. In reliance upon the opinions of their legal counsel, Agents generally are also responsible for determining
that the Lenders have obtained a perfected security interest in the collateral securing loans, if any.
Financial
difficulties of Agents can pose a risk to the Fund. If an Agent for a particular loan becomes insolvent,
the Fund could incur losses in connection with its investment in that loan. An Agent could declare bankruptcy, and a regulatory authority
could appoint a receiver or conservator. Should this occur, the assets that the Agent holds under the loan agreement, if any, should continue
to be available to the Lenders, including the Fund. A regulator or a court, however, might determine that any such assets are subject
to the claims of the Agent’s general or secured creditors. If that occurs, the Fund might incur costs and delays in realizing final
payment on a loan, or the Fund might suffer a loss of principal or interest. The Fund may be subject to similar risks when it buys a participation
interest in a loan. Most participations purchased by the Fund are structured to be “true sales” of the underlying loan,
in which case the loan should not be included in the bankruptcy estate of the participation seller. However, a court might determine that
the participation was not in fact a “true sale”, in which case the Fund would be a general unsecured creditor of the participation
seller.
In
certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the event of fraud or misrepresentation
by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as would
be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself,
and common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
How
the Fund Invests in Loans. The Fund may invest in loans in one
or more of three ways: the Fund may invest directly in a loan by acting as an original Lender; the Fund may invest directly in a loan
by purchasing a loan by an assignment (an “Assignment”) from the Agent or other Lender; or the Fund may invest indirectly
in a loan by purchasing a participation interest in a loan (Participation Interest) from an Agent or other Lender. The Fund may also gain
exposure to loans indirectly using certain derivative instruments, which is discussed elsewhere in this SAI.
•
Original
Lender. The Fund can invest in loans, generally “at par”
(a price for the loan equal approximately to 100% of the funded principal amount of the loan, minus any original issue discount) as an
original lender. When the Fund is an original lender, it is entitled to receive a return at the full interest rate for the loan. When
the Fund is an original lender, it will have a direct contractual relationship with the borrower and will have direct recourse against
the borrower in the event the borrower fails to pay scheduled principal or interest.
•
Assignments.
The Fund may also purchase a loan by assignment. When the Fund purchases a loan by assignment, it typically succeeds to whatever rights
and obligations the assigning lender had under the loan agreement and becomes a “lender” under the loan agreement, entitled
to the same rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement or set-off rights) that are available to lenders generally.
•
Participation
Interests. These investments represent an undivided, indirect interest
in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan, or are members of the
loan syndicate. The participation seller remains as lender of record, and continues to face the borrower, the agent, and the other parties
to the loan agreement, while the Fund generally acquires beneficial ownership of the loan. Participation interests are subject to the
ongoing counterparty risk of the participation seller as well as the credit risk of the borrower.
While
the Fund expects to have access to financial and other information regarding the borrower that has been
made available to the lenders under a loan, it may not have such information in connection with participation interests and certain loan
assignments. Additionally, the amount of public information available with respect to loans generally will be less extensive than what
is available for exchange-listed or otherwise registered securities.
Participation
interests involve risks for the Fund. Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the creditworthiness
of the borrower, which is obligated to make payments of principal and interest on the loan. In buying a participation interest, however,
the Fund assumes both the credit risk of the borrower and the counterparty risk of the Lender selling the participation interest. As with
an assignment or a loan originated by the Fund, there is a risk that a borrower may have difficulty making payments. If a borrower fails
to pay scheduled interest or principal payments, the Fund’s income may be reduced and the value of the investment in the participation
interest might also decline. Further, the seller of the participation interest will have no obligation to the Fund other than to pay the
Fund the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments it receives from the borrower. In addition, if the seller of the
participation interest fails to perform its obligations, purchasers might incur costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer a loss
of principal and/or interest, including in cases where the borrower may have performed its obligation to the Lender that issued the participation
(e.g., if the participation seller fails to pass along to the Fund payments received from the borrower). Although most participation interests
purchased by the Fund are structured to cause the Fund to become beneficial owner of the relevant loans, and therefore avoid this outcome,
if a Lender that sells the Fund a participation interest becomes insolvent, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the Lender.
As a general creditor, the Fund will have to share the proceeds of the loan with any other creditors of the Lender. The Fund will acquire
a participation interest only if the investment adviser determines that the Lender (or other intermediary Participant) selling the participation
interest is creditworthy.
The
Fund’s rights under a participation interest with respect to a particular loan may be more limited than the
rights of original Lenders or of investors who acquire an assignment of that loan. The Fund has the right to receive payments of principal,
interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the Lender selling the participation interest and only when the Lender receives
the payments from the borrower. In purchasing
participation
interests, the Fund will usually have a contractual relationship only with the selling institution and not
the underlying borrower. The Fund generally will have no right directly to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the related
loan agreement, nor will the Fund necessarily have the right to object to certain changes to the loan agreement agreed to by the selling
institution. If the Fund buys a participation interest in a loan, the Fund may be subject to any rights of set-off the borrower has against
the selling institution (although recourse to the selling institution may be available in the event of any such set-off). In the event
of bankruptcy or insolvency of the borrower, the obligation of the borrower to repay the loan may be subject to certain defenses that
can be asserted by the borrower as a result of any improper conduct of the Lender selling the participation (although recourse to the
Lender may be available). As a result, the Fund may be subject to delays, expenses and risks that are greater than those that exist when
the Fund is an original Lender or assignee, and therefore a participation may be relatively illiquid as compared to a direct investment
in a loan because of a smaller universe of investors who are willing to assume these additional risks present in a participation.
Recourse.
When the Fund invests in loans as an original lender it will have direct recourse against the borrower in the event of a failure to pay
scheduled principal or interest. When it purchases a loan by assignment, it typically succeeds to whatever rights the assigning lender
had under the loan agreement, and will therefore be entitled to the same rights (including, but not limited to, enforcement or set-off
rights) that are available to lenders generally. When the Fund buys a participation interest, it assumes the credit risk of the borrower
and the counterparty risk of the lender selling the participation interest (and, in certain circumstances, such lender’s credit
risk), and the terms of the participation may not entitle the Fund to all rights of a direct lender under the loan (for example, with
respect to consent, voting or enforcement rights). Therefore, the Fund’s rights under a participation interest for a particular
loan may be more limited than the rights of the original lender or an investor who acquires an assignment of that loan. Where the Fund
invests in a loan via a participation, the Fund generally will have no right of direct recourse against the borrower or ability to otherwise
directly enforce the terms of the loan agreement.
Investments
in Pooled Investment Entities that Invest in Loans. The Fund can
also buy interests in trusts and other pooled entities (including other investment companies) that invest primarily or exclusively in
loan obligations, including entities sponsored or advised by the Adviser or an affiliate. The Fund will be subject to the pooled entity’s
credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans. The loans underlying these investments may include loans to foreign
or U.S. borrowers, may be collateralized or uncollateralized and may be rated investment grade or below investment-grade or may be unrated.
These investments are subject to the risk of default by the borrower, interest rate and prepayment risk, as well as credit risks of the
pooled entity that holds the loan obligations.
Fees.
The Fund may be required to pay and may receive various fees and commissions in connection with purchasing, selling and holding interests
in loans. Borrowers typically pay three kinds of fees to Lenders: facility fees (which may be structured as original issue discount) when
a loan is originated; commitment fees on an ongoing basis based on the unused portion of a loan commitment; and prepayment penalties when
a borrower prepays a loan.
The
Fund receives these fees directly from the borrower if the Fund is an original Lender or, in the case of commitment
fees and prepayment penalties, if the Fund acquires an assignment. Whether the Fund receives a facility fee in the case of an assignment
or participation interest depends on negotiations between the Fund and the Lender selling the interests.
When
the Fund buys an assignment or a participation, it may be required to pay a fee, or cede a portion of
the interest and fees that accrued prior to settlement of the assignment, to the lender selling the assignment or the participant. Occasionally,
the selling lender pays a fee to the assignee or the participant. If the Fund assigns a loan or sells a participation, it may be required
to pass along to a buyer a portion of any interest and fees that the Fund would otherwise be entitled to. In addition, in the case of
an assignment, the Fund may be required to pay a transfer fee to the lending agent. If the Fund sells a participation Interest, the Fund
may be required to pay a transfer fee to the Lender that holds the nominal interest in the loan.
Interest
Rate Benchmarks for Floating Rate Loans. The loans in which the
Fund invests typically have floating or adjustable interest rates. For that reason, the Adviser expects that when interest rates change,
the values of these floating rate loans will fluctuate less than the values of fixed-rate debt securities, and that the net asset values
of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate less than the shares of funds that invest mainly in fixed-rate debt obligations. However, the
interest rates of some floating rate loans adjust only periodically. Between the times that interest rates on floating rate loans adjust
(which is most often quarterly, but may be monthly, every six months, or some other period), the interest rates on those floating rate
loans may not correlate to prevailing interest rates. That will affect the value of the loans and may cause the net asset values of the
Fund’s shares to fluctuate.
The
applicable rate is defined in the loan agreement. Borrowers tend to select the base lending rate that results
in the lowest interest cost, and the benchmark selected by a borrower for its loans may change from time to time (but the benchmark selected
for a particular loan will remain the same for the life of that loan). If the benchmark interest rate on a floating rate loan changes,
the rate payable to lenders under the floating rate loan will, in turn, change at the next scheduled adjustment date. If the benchmark
rate increases, the Fund would earn interest at a higher rate on that floating rate loan after the next scheduled adjustment date. If
the benchmark rate decreases, the Fund would earn interest at a lower rate on that floating rate loan after the next scheduled adjustment
date.
The
Fund may use interest rate swap agreements and other hedging practices to mitigate fluctuations in value
when the interest rate under the loan is periodically reset. The Fund may invest in loans having a fixed rate of interest; however, it
is unlikely to do so because fixed rate loans are uncommon in the loan market generally.
Interest
rates on floating rate loans adjust periodically based on a benchmark rate plus a premium or spread
over the benchmark rate. The benchmark rate usually is the Prime Rate, LIBOR, the Federal Reserve federal funds rate, or other base lending
rates used by commercial lenders (each as defined in the applicable loan agreement).
•
The
Prime Rate quoted by a major U.S. bank is generally the interest rate at which that bank is willing to lend U.S. dollars to its most creditworthy
borrowers, although it may not be the bank’s lowest available rate.
•
LIBOR
usually is an average of the interest rates quoted by several designated banks as the rates at which they pay interest to major depositors
in the London interbank market on deposits in a particular currency. For U.S. dollar-denominated senior loans, any applicable LIBOR rate
for senior loans would be in respect of U.S. dollar deposits. The market views changes in short-term LIBOR rates as closely related to
changes in the Federal Reserve federal funds rate, although the two are not officially related.
•
The
Federal Reserve federal funds rate is the rate that the Federal Reserve Bank charges member banks for borrowing money.
The
interest rate on Prime Rate-based loans floats daily as the Prime Rate changes, while the interest rate
on LIBOR based loans is reset periodically, typically between 30 days and one year. Quarterly interest periods are most common for floating
rate loans in which the Fund invests. Certain floating or variable rate loans may permit the borrower to select an interest rate reset
period of up to one year (although interest periods longer than six months will often require lender consent). Investing in loans with
longer interest rate reset periods or fixed interest rates may increase fluctuations in the Fund’s net asset value as a result
of changes in market interest rates: falling short-term floating interest rates tend to decrease the income payable to the Fund on its
floating rate loan investments, and rising short-term floating interest rates tend to increase that income. However, the Fund may attempt
to hedge its fixed rate loans against interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swaps or total return swap transactions.
Nevertheless, changes in interest rates can affect the value of the Fund’s floating rate loans, especially if rates change sharply
in a short period, because the resets of the interest rates on the underlying portfolio of floating rate loans occur periodically and
will not all happen simultaneously with changes in prevailing rates.
Floating
rate loans are generally structured so that borrowers pay higher margins when they elect LIBOR-based
borrower options. This permits lenders to obtain generally consistent yields on floating rate loans, regardless of whether borrowers select
the LIBOR-based options or the Prime-based option. In market conditions where the differential between the lower LIBOR base rates and
the higher Prime Rate base rates prevailing in the commercial bank markets has widened to the point that the higher margins paid by borrowers
for LIBOR based pricing options do not compensate for the differential between the Prime Rate and the LIBOR base rates, borrowers may
select the LIBOR-based pricing option, resulting in a yield on floating rate loans that is consistently lower than the yield available
from the Prime Rate-based pricing option. In sustained periods of such market conditions, this tendency will significantly limit the ability
of the Fund to achieve a net return to shareholders that consistently approximates the average published Prime Rate of leading U.S. banks.
The Sub-Adviser cannot predict the occurrence of these conditions nor their duration in the event they do occur.
In
addition, in market conditions where short term interest rates are particularly low, certain floating rate loans
may be issued with a feature that prevents the relevant benchmark rate from adjusting below a specified minimum level. This is achieved
by defining a “floor” to the benchmark rate, so that if downward market movements of the benchmark rate would, absent this
feature, cause the benchmark rate to fall below the floor, with this feature, the benchmark rates of these floating rate loans become
fixed at the applicable minimum floor level until short term interest rates (and therefore the benchmark rate) rise above that level.
Although this feature is intended to result in these floating rate loans yielding more than they otherwise would when short term interest
rates are low, the feature might also result in the secondary market prices of these floating rate loans becoming more sensitive to changes
in interest rates should short term interest rates rise.
The
Fund may invest in loans having a fixed rate of interest, however it is unlikely to do so given fixed rate loans
are uncommon in the loan market generally.
Credit
Quality Standards for Loans. Rating organizations, such as S&P
or Moody’s, rate debt obligations by rating the issuer, after evaluating the issuer’s financial soundness. Generally, the
lower the investment rating, the more risky the investment. Debt securities rated below “BBB-” by S&P or “Baa3”
by Moody’s are commonly referred to as “high risk” securities or, in the case of bonds, “junk bonds.”
Loans rated “B” are below investment grade and are regarded by rating organizations as predominantly speculative with respect
to the borrower’s ability to repay interest and principal when due over a long period. While securities rated Baa by Moody’s
or BBB by S&P are considered to be “investment grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. The Fund may invest
in loans that are rated both investment grade and below-investment grade by different rating organizations. An appendix to the Fund’s
Statement of Additional Information includes the definitions of the rating categories of the principal rating organizations. Many loans
are not rated by rating organizations. The lack of a rating does not necessarily imply that a loan is of lesser investment quality.
While
the Fund expects to have access to financial and other information regarding the borrower that has been
made available to the lenders under a loan, it may not have such information in connection with participation interests and certain loan
assignments. Additionally, the amount of public information available with respect to loans generally will be less extensive than what
is available for exchange-listed or otherwise registered securities.
In
certain cases, the Fund’s Sub-Adviser may receive material, non-public information regarding loans, and
its ability to trade in such loans for the account of the Fund could potentially be limited by its possession of such information. Such
limitations on the Fund’s Sub-Adviser’s ability to trade could have an adverse effect on the Fund by, for example, preventing
the Fund from selling a loan that is experiencing a material decline in value. In some instances, these trading restrictions could continue
in effect for a substantial period of time.
Prepayment.
Loans typically have mandatory and optional prepayment provisions. Senior Loans in general have a stated term of between five and seven
years, and other types of loans that may be invested in may have shorter or longer maturities. Because of prepayments, the actual remaining
maturity of a loan may be considerably less than its stated maturity. Notwithstanding their stated maturity, loans may be prepaid prior
to their stated terms for reasons including, but not limited to, high market demand for loans, refinancing by the
borrower,
mandatory prepayment requirements or desire of the borrower to repay outstanding debt. If a borrower
prepays a loan, the proceeds will have to be reinvested in other loans or financial assets that may pay lower rates of return. However,
any prepayment and facility fees that are received may help reduce any adverse impact on a Fund’s yield. Because the interest rates
on floating rate loans adjust periodically, the Adviser believes that prepayments should generally be able to be reinvested in floating
rate loans that have yields similar to those that have been prepaid.
The
reinvestment by the Fund of the proceeds of prepaid loans could result in a reduction of income to the
Fund in falling interest rate environments. Prepayment penalty fees that may be assessed in some cases may help offset the loss of income
to the Fund in those cases.
Subordination.
Senior loans typically hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure. They may include loans that hold the most
senior position alone, loans that hold an equal ranking with other senior debt, or loans that are, in the judgment of the Adviser, in
the category of senior debt of the borrower. Borrowers typically are required contractually to pay the holders of senior loans before
they pay the holders of subordinated debt and preferred or common shareholders and give the holders of senior secured loans a claim on
some or all of the borrower’s assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower
in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt. Lenders obtain priority liens that typically provide the first right to cash
flows or proceeds from the sale of a borrower’s collateral, if any, if the borrower becomes insolvent. That right is subject to
the limitations of bankruptcy law, which may provide higher priority to certain other claims such as, for example, employee salaries,
employee pensions and taxes. Senior loans are subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan to presently existing or
future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to the holders of senior loans.
That
senior position in the borrower’s capital structure typically gives the holders of senior loans a claim on
some or all of the borrower’s assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower
in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt. This means in the event the assets of the borrower are insufficient in value
to satisfy all its creditors, senior debt will be satisfied in priority to debt that is subordinate to senior debt.
Lien
Position. Loans that are collateralized may have multiple lenders
or other creditors that take different lien positions. This means that if the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan and
the loan creditors enforce their security interest or if the borrower becomes bankrupt, the secured claims of the creditors in the first
lien position will be satisfied prior to the secured claims of the creditors in the second lien position. While second lien loan positions
generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in first lien loan positions, second lien loan positions have
the additional risk that if the borrower defaults on its obligations under the loan and the loan creditors enforce their security interest
or if the borrower becomes bankrupt, the secured claims of the creditors in the first lien position will be satisfied prior to the secured
claims of the creditors in the second lien position. If the cash flow and assets of the borrower are insufficient to satisfy both the
first lien loans and the second lien loans in full, the creditors in the second lien position may not be satisfied in full. Intercreditor
arrangements that are often present where a loan has first and second lien positions typically include ‘standstill’ provisions
whereby the enforcement rights of second lien creditors are restricted in favor of the first lien creditors’ rights and give the
first lien creditors the right to accept or reject any restructuring plans in the event of the default or insolvency of the borrower.
If a loan has first and second lien positions, typically the Fund will invest in the first lien position; however, it may invest in the
second lien position. Second lien positions generally pay a higher margin than first lien positions to compensate second lien creditors
for the greater risk they assume.
Collateral.
Loans, like other debt obligations, are subject to the risk of the borrower’s non-payment of scheduled interest and/or principal.
While certain of the Fund’s investments in loans may be secured by collateral that the investment adviser believes to be equal
to or in excess of the principal amount of the loan at the time of investment, there can be no assurance that the liquidation of such
collateral, if any, would satisfy the borrower’s obligations in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments,
or that the collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of a borrower’s bankruptcy, the Fund could experience delays or
limitations in its ability to realize the benefits of collateral securing a loan.
For
the loans in which the Fund invests that are secured by collateral, that collateral may include the borrower’s
tangible assets, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, real estate, buildings, and equipment, common and/or preferred stock of
subsidiaries, and intangible assets including trademarks, copyrights, patent rights and franchise value. The Fund may also receive guarantees
or other credit support as a form of security. A loan agreement may or may not require the borrower to pledge additional collateral to
secure a loan if the value of the initial collateral declines, or if additional assets are acquired by the borrower. Collateral may consist
of assets that may not be readily liquidated, and there is no assurance that the liquidation of those assets would satisfy in full a borrower’s
obligations under a loan. A borrower’s subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders, or owners may provide collateral in the form of
secured guarantees and/or security interests in assets that they own. However, the value of the collateral may decline after the Fund
invests in the loan, particularly if the collateral consists of equity securities of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates. If
the collateral consists of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the stock may lose all of its value in the event of
a bankruptcy, which would leave the Fund exposed to greater potential loss.
If
a borrower defaults, insolvency laws may limit the Fund’s access to the collateral, or the lenders may be unable
to liquidate the collateral. A bankruptcy court might find that the lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security
under the loan to be invalid, or a bankruptcy court may require the borrower to use the collateral to pay other outstanding obligations
prior to satisfying the lenders in full. If the collateral consists of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries, the stock may lose all
of its value in the event of a bankruptcy, which would leave the Fund exposed to greater potential loss. In addition, in the event of
a borrower default on a collateralized loan, the Fund may receive assets other than cash or securities in full or partial satisfaction
of the borrower’s obligation under the loan. Those assets may be illiquid, and the Fund might not be able to realize the benefit
of the assets for legal, practical or other reasons. The Fund might hold those assets until the Adviser determines it is appropriate to
dispose of them. If the collateral becomes illiquid or loses some or all of its value, the collateral may not be sufficient in value to
compensate the Fund in full in the event of a default of scheduled interest or principal payments.
The
Fund can invest in loans that are not secured by any specific collateral of the borrower. If the borrower
is unable to pay interest or defaults in the payment of principal, there will be no collateral on which the Fund can foreclose. Therefore,
these loans present greater risks than collateralized loans because the recourse of the Fund to the borrower’s assets in the case
of a default would be as a general unsecured creditor. The Fund applies the same investment and credit standards to unsecured loans as
to secured loans, except for collateral requirements.
Generally,
the Agent for a particular loan is responsible for monitoring collateral and for exercising remedies
available to the Lenders such as foreclosure upon collateral in the event of the borrower’s default. However, the Agent will usually
only be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, and not for ordinary negligence. In certain circumstances, the loan agreement
may authorize the Agent to liquidate the collateral and to distribute the liquidation proceeds pro rata among the lenders. The Fund may
also invest in loans that are not secured by collateral. Unsecured loans involve additional risk because the lenders are general unsecured
creditors of the borrower and any secured creditors may have prior rights of recourse to the assets of the borrower, and the assets of
the borrower may be insufficient to satisfy in full all obligations owed to its creditors.
Highly
Leveraged Transactions and Insolvent Borrowers. The Fund can invest
in loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. These transactions may include operating loans, leveraged buyout loans,
leveraged capitalization loans and other types of acquisition financing. Those loans are subject to greater credit risks than other loans.
Highly leveraged loans and loans in default also may be less liquid than other loans. Highly leveraged loans and loans in default also
may be less liquid than other loans. If the Fund voluntarily or involuntarily sold those types of loans, it might not receive the full
value it expected.
The
Fund can also invest in loans of borrowers that are experiencing, or are likely to experience, financial difficulty.
In addition, the Fund can invest in loans of borrowers that have filed for bankruptcy protection or that have had involuntary bankruptcy
petitions filed against them by creditors. Various laws enacted for the
protection
of debtors may apply to loans. A bankruptcy proceeding against a borrower could delay or limit the ability
of the Fund to collect the principal and interest payments on that borrower’s loans. If a lawsuit is brought by creditors of a
borrower under a loan, a court or a trustee in bankruptcy could take certain actions that would be adverse to the Fund. For example:
•
Other
creditors might convince the court to set aside a loan or the collateralization of the loan as a “fraudulent conveyance”
or “preferential transfer.” In that event, the court could recover from the Fund the interest and principal payments that
the borrower made before becoming insolvent. There can be no assurance that the Fund would be able to prevent that recapture.
•
A
bankruptcy court may restructure the payment obligations under the loan so as to reduce the amount to which the Fund would be entitled.
•
The
court might discharge the amount of the loan that exceeds the value of the collateral or assets to which the lenders have recourse.
•
The
court could subordinate the Fund’s rights to the rights of other creditors of the borrower under applicable law.
Borrower
Covenants and Lender Rights. Loan agreements generally have contractual
terms designed to protect Lenders. Loan agreements often include restrictive covenants that limit the activities of the borrower. A restrictive
covenant is a promise by the borrower not to take certain actions that might impair the rights of Lenders. Those covenants typically require
the scheduled payment of interest and principal and may include restrictions on dividend payments and other distributions to the borrower’s
shareholders, provisions requiring the borrower to maintain specific financial ratios or relationships and limits on the borrower’s
total debt. In addition, a covenant may require the borrower to prepay the loan or debt obligation with any excess cash flow, proceeds
of asset sales or casualty insurance, or other available cash. Excess cash flow generally includes net cash flow after scheduled debt
service payments and permitted capital expenditures, among other things, as well as the proceeds from asset dispositions or sales of securities.
A breach of a covenant (after the expiration of any cure period) in a loan agreement that is not waived by the Agent and the Lenders normally
is an event of default, permitting acceleration of the loan. This means that the Agent has the right to demand immediate repayment in
full of the outstanding loan. If a lender accelerates the repayment of a loan because of the borrower’s violation of a restrictive
covenant under the loan agreement, the borrower might default in payment of the loan. If a loan is not paid when due, or if upon acceleration
of a loan, the borrower fails to repay principal and accrued (but unpaid) interest in full, this failure may result in a reduction in
value of the loan (and possibly the Fund’s net asset value).
Lenders
typically have certain voting and consent rights under a loan agreement. Action subject to a Lender
vote or consent generally requires the vote or consent of the holders of some specified percentage of the outstanding principal amount
of a loan. Certain decisions, such as reducing the amount or increasing the time for payment of interest on or repayment of principal
of a loan, or releasing collateral for the loan, frequently requires the unanimous vote or consent of all Lenders affected.
If
the Fund is not a direct lender under the loan because it has invested via a participation, derivative or other
indirect means, the Fund may not be entitled to exercise some or all of the Lender rights described in this section.
Covenant
Lite Loans. Although loan investments are generally subject to
certain restrictive covenants in favor of the investor, certain of the loans in which the Fund may invest may be issued or offered as
“covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial maintenance covenants. “Financial maintenance covenants”
are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels
of cash flow or limiting leverage. In the event of financial deterioration on the part of the borrower, these covenants are included to
permit the lenders to renegotiate the terms of the loan, such as increasing the borrowing costs to the borrower, or to take other actions
which would improve the position of the lender.
Limited
Secondary Market for Loans. Due to restrictions on transfers in
loan agreements and the nature of the private syndication of loans, some loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded
securities. As a result, some loans are illiquid, which means that the Fund may be limited in its ability to sell those loans at an acceptable
price when it wants to in order to generate cash, avoid losses or to meet repurchase requests. The market for illiquid financial assets
is more volatile than the market for liquid securities and it may be more difficult to obtain accurate valuations for the Fund’s
investments. In certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower
or an arranger, lenders will not have the protection of anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, as would be the case for
bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself, and common-law
fraud protections under applicable state law.
Possible
Limited Availability of Loans. Direct investments in loans and,
to a lesser degree, investments in participation interests in or assignments of loans may be limited. The limited availability may be
due to a number of factors. Direct lenders may allocate only a small number of loans to new investors, including the Fund. There may be
fewer loans available for investment that meet the Fund’s credit standards, particularly in times of economic downturns. Also,
lenders or agents may have an incentive to market the less desirable loans to investors such as the Fund while retaining attractive loans
for themselves. This would reduce the amount of attractive investments for the Fund. If market demand for loans increases, the interest
paid by loans that the Fund holds may decrease.
Delayed
Draw Loans. There
may be obligations under a loan agreement to make disbursements of loans after the initial disbursement in certain circumstances, for
example if the loan was partially “unfunded” at the time the Fund invested or if there otherwise is an ongoing commitment
from the lenders to disburse further loans. The Fund will not purchase a loan that would require the Fund to make additional loans if
as a result of that purchase all of its additional loan commitments in the aggregate would .
Delayed
Settlement. Compared to securities and to certain other types of
financial assets, purchases, and sales of loans, including via participation, take relatively longer to settle. This is partly due to
the nature of loans, which require a written assignment agreement and various ancillary documents for each transfer, and frequently require
discretionary consents from both the borrower and the administrative agent. In addition, dealers frequently insist on matching their purchases
and sales, which can lead to delays in the Fund’s settlement of a purchase or sale in circumstances where the dealer’s corresponding
transaction with another party is delayed. Dealers will also sometimes sell loans short, and hold their trades open for an indefinite
period while waiting for a price movement or looking for inventory to purchase.
This
extended settlement process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne by the Fund; (ii) leave
the Fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay the Fund from realizing
the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit the Fund’s ability to re-sell a loan that it has agreed to purchase if conditions
change (leaving the Fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent the Fund from timely collecting principal and interest payments;
and (vi) expose the Fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences.
The
Loan Syndications and Trading Association (the “LSTA”) has promulgated a “delay compensation” provision
in its standard loan documentation that mitigates the direct risk of permanently losing interest payments as a result of delayed settlement
by causing interest to begin to accrue for the buyer’s account after the seventh business day following the trade date (for distressed
trades, the twentieth business day). However, this does not mitigate the other risks of delayed settlement. In addition, the mechanism
itself can result in opportunistic behavior: A seller, having locked in its trade, might delay closing for seven business days in order
to maximize its interest collections, even if it could have closed earlier, while a buyer may no longer feel any pressure to close at
all, since interest is accruing for its benefit, and may choose to use its cash elsewhere. The LSTA has further attempted to put an outer
limit on long, unjustified settlement delays by promulgating “buy-in/sell-out” provisions that allow a party to enter into
a “cover” trade if the other party refuses to close. However, these provisions are complicated, time-consuming, and little-used,
and are in any event not triggered until the fifteenth business day after the trade date (for distressed trades, the fiftieth
business
day). To the extent the extended loan settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity needs, such
as the need to satisfy redemption requests, the Fund may hold cash, sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders.
Equity
Investments
Common
Stock. Common stock is issued by a company principally to raise
cash for business purposes and represents an equity or ownership interest in the issuing company. Common stockholders are typically entitled
to vote on important matters of the issuing company, including the selection of directors, and may receive dividends on their holdings.
The Fund participates in the success or failure of any company in which it holds common stock. In the event a company is liquidated or
declares bankruptcy, the claims of bondholders, other debt holders, owners of preferred stock and general creditors take precedence over
the claims of those who own common stock.
The
prices of common stocks change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings
of the issuing company, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
Over-the-Counter
Securities.
Securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers may be traded on securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter market. The over-the-counter
markets, both in the U.S. and abroad, may have less liquidity than securities exchanges. That lack of liquidity can affect the price the
Fund is able to obtain when it wants to sell a security, because if there are fewer buyers and less demand for a particular security,
the Fund might not be able to sell it at an acceptable price or might have to reduce the price in writing in order to dispose of the security.
There are a number of over-the-counter markets in the U.S., as well as those abroad, as long as a dealer is willing to make a market in
a particular security.
Preferred
Stock.
Preferred stock, unlike common stock, often offers a specified dividend rate payable from a company’s earnings. Preferred stock
also generally has a preference over common stock on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event the company is liquidated
or declares bankruptcy; however, the rights of preferred stockholders on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of
a liquidation or bankruptcy are generally subordinate to the rights of the company’s debt holders and general creditors. If interest
rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline.
Some
fixed rate preferred stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions which provide for the stock to
be retired or redeemed on a predetermined schedule, as well as call/redemption provisions prior to maturity, which can limit the benefit
of any decline in interest rates that might positively affect the price of preferred stocks. Preferred stock dividends may be “cumulative,”
requiring all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before dividends are paid on the issuer’s common stock. Preferred
stock may be “participating,” which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain
cases. In some cases an issuer may offer auction rate preferred stock, which means that the interest to be paid is set by auction and
will often be reset at stated intervals.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies. Small-capitalization (small-cap)
companies may be either established or newer companies, including “unseasoned” companies that have typically been in operation
for less than three years. Mid-capitalization (mid-cap) companies are generally companies that have completed their initial start-up cycle,
and in many cases have established markets and developed seasoned market teams. While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities
for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings
expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Small- and mid-cap companies’ securities often trade in
lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume
of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore,
the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings
at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Small- and mid-cap companies may not have established markets for their products or
services and may have fewer customers and product lines. They may have more
limited
access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business
downturns or adverse market conditions. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their
business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Small- and mid-cap companies may have unseasoned
management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular
members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of small, unseasoned
companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short-term, and may have very limited liquidity in a declining market. It may
take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
When
the Fund invests in smaller company securities that might trade infrequently, investors might seek to
trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of those securities (this is sometimes referred to as “price
arbitrage”). If such price arbitrage were successful, it might interfere with the efficient management of the Fund’s portfolio
and the Fund may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by that
activity. Successful price arbitrage might also dilute the value of fund shares held by other shareholders.
Equity-Linked
Securities. Equity-linked securities are instruments whose value
is based upon the value of one or more underlying equity securities, a reference rate or an index. Equity-linked securities come in many
forms and may include features, among others, such as the following: (i) may be issued by the issuer of the underlying equity security
or by a company other than the one to which the instrument is linked (usually an investment bank), (ii) may convert into equity securities,
such as common stock, within a stated period from the issue date or may be redeemed for cash or some combination of cash and the linked
security at a value based upon the value of the underlying equity security within a stated period from the issue date, (iii) may have
various conversion features prior to maturity at the option of the holder or the issuer or both, (iv) may limit the appreciation value
with caps or collars of the value of the underlying equity security and (v) may have fixed, variable or no interest payments during the
life of the security which reflect the actual or a structured return relative to the underlying dividends of the linked equity security.
Investments in equity-linked securities may subject a Fund to additional risks not ordinarily associated with investments in other equity
securities. Because equity-linked securities are sometimes issued by a third party other than the issuer of the linked security, a Fund
is subject to risks if the underlying equity security, reference rate or index underperforms or if the issuer defaults on the payment
of the dividend or the common stock at maturity. In addition, the trading market for particular equity-linked securities may be less liquid,
making it difficult for a Fund to dispose of a particular security when necessary and reduced liquidity in the secondary market for any
such securities may make it more difficult to obtain market quotations for valuing the Fund’s portfolio.
Convertible
Securities.
Convertible securities are generally bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities or investments that may be converted
or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at
a stated exchange ratio or predetermined price (the conversion price). A convertible security is designed to provide current income and
also the potential for capital appreciation through the conversion feature, which enables the holder to benefit from increases in the
market price of the underlying common stock. A convertible security may be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular
date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by the Fund
is called for redemption or conversion, the Fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common
stock, or sell it to a third party, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives.
Convertible securities have general characteristics similar to both debt and equity securities.
A
convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued until the convertible security
matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to non-convertible
debt obligations and are designed to provide for a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks. However, there
can be no assurance of current income because the issuers of the convertible securities may default on their obligations. Convertible
securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less
risk
than the corporation’s common stock. Convertible securities are subordinate in rank to any senior debt obligations
of the issuer, and, therefore, an issuer’s convertible securities entail more risk than its debt obligations. Moreover, convertible
securities are often rated below investment grade or not rated because they fall below debt obligations and just above common stock in
order of preference or priority on an issuer’s balance sheet. To the extent that the Fund invests in convertible securities with
credit ratings below investment grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although this may be somewhat offset by
the convertibility feature.
Convertible
securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible debt securities of
similar credit quality because of the potential for capital appreciation. The common stock underlying convertible securities may be issued
by a different entity than the issuer of the convertible securities.
The
value of convertible securities is influenced by both the yield of non-convertible securities of comparable
issuers and by the value of the underlying common stock. The value of a convertible security viewed without regard to its conversion feature
(i.e., strictly on the basis of its yield) is sometimes referred to as its “investment value.” The investment value of the
convertible security typically will fluctuate based on the credit quality of the issuer and will fluctuate inversely with changes in prevailing
interest rates. However, at the same time, the convertible security will be influenced by its “conversion value,” which
is the market value of the underlying common stock that would be obtained if the convertible security were converted. Conversion value
fluctuates directly with the price of the underlying common stock, and will therefore be subject to risks relating to the activities of
the issuer and general market and economic conditions. Depending upon the relationship of the conversion price to the market value of
the underlying security, a convertible security may trade more like an equity security than a debt instrument.
If,
because of a low price of the common stock, the conversion value is substantially below the investment value
of the convertible security, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. Generally, if the
conversion value of a convertible security increases to a point that approximates or exceeds its investment value, the value of the security
will be principally influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security will sell at a premium over its conversion value to the
extent investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding an income-producing security.
While
the Fund uses the same criteria to rate a convertible debt security that it uses to rate a more conventional
debt security, a convertible preferred stock is treated like a preferred stock for the Fund’s financial reporting, credit rating
and investment limitation purposes.
Contingent
Convertible Securities (CoCos). CoCos (also referred to as contingent
capital securities) are a form of hybrid fixed income security typically issued by non-U.S. banks that may either convert into common
stock of the issuer or undergo a principal write-down by a predetermined percentage upon the occurrence of a “trigger” event,
such as if (a) the issuer’s capital ratio falls below a specified level or (b) certain regulatory events, such as a change in regulatory
capital requirements, affect the issuer’s continued viability. Unlike traditional convertible securities, the conversion is not
voluntary and the equity conversion or principal write-down features are tailored to the issuing banking institution and its regulatory
requirements.
CoCos
are subject to credit, interest rate and market risks associated with fixed income and equity securities
generally, along with risks typically applicable to convertible securities. CoCos are also subject to loss absorption risk because coupon
payments can potentially be cancelled or deferred at the issuer’s discretion or at the request of the relevant regulatory authority
in order to help the bank absorb losses. Additionally, certain call provisions permit an issuer to repurchase CoCos if the regulatory
environment or tax treatment of the security (e.g., tax deductibility of interest payments) changes. This may result in a potential loss
to the Fund if the price at which the issuer calls or repurchases the CoCos is lower than the initial purchase price by the Fund.
CoCos
are subordinate in rank to traditional convertible securities and other debt obligations of an issuer in
the issuer’s capital structure, and therefore, CoCos entail more risk than an issuer’s other debt obligations.
CoCos
are generally speculative and their market value may fluctuate based on a number of unpredictable
factors, including, but not limited to, the creditworthiness of the issuer and/or fluctuations in the
issuer’s
capital ratios, supply and demand for CoCos, general market conditions and available liquidity, and economic,
financial and political events affecting the particular issuer or markets in general.
Enhanced
Convertible Securities. “Enhanced” convertible securities
are equity-linked hybrid securities that automatically convert to equity securities on a specified date. Enhanced convertibles have been
designed with a variety of payoff structures, and are known by a variety of different names. Three features common to enhanced convertible
securities are (i) conversion to equity securities at the maturity of the convertible (as opposed to conversion at the option of the security
holder in the case of ordinary convertibles); (ii) capped or limited appreciation potential relative to the underlying common stock; and
(iii) dividend yields that are typically higher than that on the underlying common stock. Thus, enhanced convertible securities offer
holders the opportunity to obtain higher current income than would be available from a traditional equity security issued by the same
company in return for reduced participation in the appreciation potential of the underlying common stock. Other forms of enhanced convertible
securities may involve arrangements with no interest or dividend payments made until maturity of the security or an enhanced principal
amount received at maturity based on the yield and value of the underlying equity security during the security’s term or at maturity.
Synthetic
Convertible Securities. A synthetic convertible security is a derivative
position composed of two or more distinct securities whose investment characteristics, taken together, resemble those of traditional convertible
securities, i.e., fixed income and the right to acquire the underlying equity security. For example, a Fund may purchase a non-convertible
debt security and a warrant or option, which enables a Fund to have a convertible-like position with respect to a security or index.
Synthetic
convertibles are typically offered by financial institutions in private placement transactions and are
typically sold back to the offering institution. Upon conversion, the holder generally receives from the offering institution an amount
in cash equal to the difference between the conversion price and the then-current value of the underlying security. Synthetic convertible
securities differ from true convertible securities in several respects. The value of a synthetic convertible is the sum of the values
of its fixed-income component and its convertibility component. Thus, the values of a synthetic convertible and a true convertible security
will respond differently to market fluctuations. Purchasing a synthetic convertible security may provide greater flexibility than purchasing
a traditional convertible security, including the ability to combine components representing distinct issuers, or to combine a fixed income
security with a call option on a stock index, when the Adviser determines that such a combination would better further a Fund’s
investment goals. In addition, the component parts of a synthetic convertible security may be purchased simultaneously or separately.
The
holder of a synthetic convertible faces the risk that the price of the stock or the level of the market index
underlying the convertibility component will decline. In addition, in purchasing a synthetic convertible security, a Fund may have counterparty
risk with respect to the financial institution or investment bank that offers the instrument.
Alternative
Entity Securities. Alternative entity securities are the securities
of entities that are formed as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business trusts or other non-corporate entities that
are similar to common or preferred stock of corporations.
Special
Purpose Acquisition Companies. Special purpose acquisition companies
(“SPACs”) are investment entities, acquired through stocks, warrants and other securities, that pool funds to seek potential
acquisition or merger opportunities. A SPAC is a publicly traded company that raises funds through an initial public offering (“IPO”)
for the purpose of acquiring or merging with another company to be identified subsequent to the SPAC’s IPO. The securities of a
SPAC are often issued in “units” that include one share of common stock and one right or warrant (or partial right or warrant)
conveying the right to purchase additional common shares or partial shares of the SPAC. In some cases, the rights and warrants may be
separated from the common stock at the election of the holder, after which they may become freely tradeable. If the Fund purchases shares
of a SPAC in an IPO it will generally bear a sales commission, which may be significant.
Unless
and until a business combination transaction is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets (which
are constituted solely by the proceeds of the IPO), less a portion retained to cover expenses, in U.S.
government
securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly
lower than those of the Fund’s other investments. If an acquisition or merger that meets the requirements for the SPAC is not completed
within a pre-established period of time, the invested funds are returned to the SPAC’s shareholders, less certain permitted expenses,
and any rights or warrants issued by the SPAC will expire worthless. Under any circumstances in which the Fund receives a refund of all
or a portion of its original investment in a SPAC, the returns on that investment may be negligible, and the Fund may be subject to opportunity
costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns. Further, the Fund may be delayed in receiving any
redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to which it is entitled.
Because
SPACs are in essence “blank check” companies without operating histories or ongoing business operations
(other than identifying and pursuing acquisition or merger opportunities), the potential for the long term capital appreciation of their
securities is dependent on the ability of the SPAC’s sponsor to identify and complete a profitable business combination. There
is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Fund invests will complete a business combination or that any transaction completed by the
SPACs in which the Fund invests will be profitable. Even if a SPAC in which the Fund has invested identifies a desirable acquisition or
merger target and reaches agreement with that company as to the terms of the business combination, there can be no guarantee that the
transaction will ultimately be consummated because, among other conditions that must be satisfied, a requisite number of shareholders
of the SPAC or of the target company do not vote in favor of the transaction. The values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile
and may depreciate significantly over time. Some SPACs may pursue acquisitions or mergers only within certain industries or regions, which
may ultimately lead to an increase in the volatility of their prices following completion of a business combination. In addition, some
of these securities may be considered illiquid and/or subject to restrictions on resale, leaving the Fund unable to sell its interest
in a SPAC or able to sell its interest only at a price below what that Fund believes is the SPAC interest’s intrinsic value. Additionally,
an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising their warrants
to purchase shares of the SPAC.
Due
to the risk of the loss of sponsors’ and other initial investors’ capital if an acquisition or merger is not consummated,
sponsors of SPACs may be incentivized to consummate business combinations at less attractive valuations at the expense of SPAC shareholders.
In addition, as the number of SPACs grows, there is greater competition among SPACs and traditional purchasers of companies, which further
increases the likelihood that SPAC sponsors may be incentivized to consummate acquisitions or mergers at less attractive valuations, as
well as the risk that SPACs cannot successfully complete business combinations.
Equity-Linked
Notes (ELNs). ELNs are hybrid derivative-type instruments, in a
single note form, that are specially designed to combine the characteristics of one or more reference securities (such as a single stock,
exchange-traded fund, exchange-traded note, or an index or basket of securities (underlying securities)) and a related equity derivative,
such as a put or call option. Generally, when purchasing an ELN, a Fund pays the counterparty the current value of the underlying securities
plus a commission. Upon the maturity of the note, the Fund generally receives the par value of the note plus a return based on the appreciation
of the underlying securities. A Fund may or may not hold an ELN until its maturity. If the underlying securities have depreciated in value
or if their price fluctuates outside of a preset range, depending on the type of ELN, the Fund may receive only the principal amount of
the note, or may lose the entire principal invested in the ELN. ELNs are available with an assortment of features, including periodic
coupon payments; limitations on participation in the appreciation of the underlying securities; and different protection levels on the
Fund’s principal investment. A Fund will only invest in ELNs for which the underlying security is a permissible investment for
the Fund in accordance with its investment policies and restrictions. ELNs are generally in two types: (1) those that provide for protection
of a Fund’s principal in exchange for limited participation in the appreciation of the underlying securities, and (2) those that
do not provide for such protection and subject a Fund to the risk of loss of its principal investment.
Investments
in ELNs possess the risks associated with the underlying securities, such as management risk,
market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risks. In addition, as a note, ELNs are also subject to certain debt securities
risks, such as interest rate and credit risk. An investment in an ELN also
bears
the risk that the ELN issuer will default or become bankrupt. In such an event, the Fund may have difficulty
being repaid, or fail to be repaid, the principal amount of, or income from, its investment. ELNs may be structured to be subordinated
or unsubordinated to other classes of debt holders' right of payment. A downgrade or impairment to the credit rating of the issuer may
also negatively impact the price of the ELN. The Fund may also experience liquidity issues when investing in ELNs, as ELN transactions
generally take place in the over-the-counter institutional investment market as well as in privately negotiated transactions with ELN
issuers. The secondary market for ELNs may be limited, and the lack of liquidity may make ELNs difficult to sell at a desirable time and
price and value. The price of an ELN may not correlate with the price of the underlying securities or a fixed-income investment. As the
holder of an ELN, the Fund generally has no rights to the underlying securities, including no voting rights or rights to receive dividends.
The Adviser’s ability to accurately forecast movements in the underlying securities will determine the success of the Fund’s
ELNs investments. Should the prices of the underlying securities move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated
benefits of its ELN investments, and it may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the Fund’s entire principal
investment.
Foreign
Investments
Foreign
Securities. Foreign securities are equity or debt securities issued
by issuers outside the United States, and include securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts
(EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) or other securities representing underlying securities of foreign issuers (foreign securities).
ADRs are receipts, issued by U.S. banks, for the shares of foreign corporations, held by the bank issuing the receipt. ADRs are typically
issued in registered form, denominated in U.S. dollars and designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. GDRs are bank certificates
issued in more than one country for shares in a foreign company. The shares are held by a foreign branch of an international bank. GDRs
trade as domestic shares but are offered for sale globally through the various bank branches. GDRs are typically used by private markets
to raise capital and are denominated in either U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. EDRs are similar to ADRs and GDRs, except they are
typically issued by European banks or trust companies, denominated in foreign currencies and designed for use outside the U.S. securities
markets. ADRs, EDRs and GDRs entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains on the underlying foreign securities, less any fees
paid to the bank. Purchasing ADRs, EDRs or GDRs gives the Fund the ability to purchase the functional equivalent of foreign securities
without going to the foreign securities markets to do so. ADRs, EDRs or GDRs that are “sponsored” are those where the foreign
corporation whose shares are represented by the ADR, EDR or GDR is actively involved in the issuance of the ADR, EDR or GDR and generally
provides material information about the corporation to the U.S. market. An “unsponsored” ADR, EDR or GDR program is one
where the foreign corporation whose shares are held by the bank is not obligated to disclose material information in the United States,
and, therefore, the market value of the ADR, EDR or GDR may not reflect important facts known only to the foreign company.
Foreign
debt securities include corporate debt securities of foreign issuers, certain foreign bank obligations
(see “Bank Instruments”) and U.S. dollar or foreign currency denominated obligations of foreign governments or their subdivisions,
agencies and instrumentalities (see “Foreign Government Obligations”), international agencies and supranational entities.
The
Fund considers various factors when determining whether a company is in a particular country or in a particular
region/continent, including whether (1) it is organized under the laws of a country or in a country in a particular region/continent;
(2) it has a principal office in a country or in a country in a particular region/continent; (3) it derives 50% or more of its total revenues
from businesses in a country or in a country in a particular region/continent; (4) its securities are traded principally on a security
exchange, or in an over-the-counter (OTC) market, in a particular country or in a country in a particular region/continent; and/or (5)
its “country of risk" as determined by a third party service provider such as Bloomberg. The issuer's “country of risk”
is determined based on a number of criteria, including its country of domicile, the primary stock exchange on which it trades, the location
from which the majority of its revenue comes, and its reporting currency.
Investments
by the Fund in foreign securities, including ADRs, EDRs and GDRs, whether denominated in U.S.
dollars or foreign currencies, may entail all of the risks set forth below in addition to those accompanying an investment in issuers
in the United States.
Currency
Risk. The value in U.S. dollars of the Fund’s non-dollar-denominated
foreign investments will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign security decreases when
the value of the U.S. dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and increases when the value of the
U.S. dollar falls against such currency.
Political
and Economic Risk. The economies of many countries may not be as
developed as that of the United States’ economy and may be subject to significantly different forces. Political, economic or social
instability and development, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and limitations on the removal of funds or other assets could also
adversely affect the value of portfolio investments. Certain foreign companies may be subject to sanctions, embargoes, or other governmental
actions that may impair or otherwise limit the ability to invest in, receive, hold or sell the securities of such companies. These factors
may affect the value of investments in those companies. In addition, certain companies may operate in, or have dealings with, countries
that the U.S. government has identified as state sponsors of terrorism. As a result, such companies may be subject to specific constraints
or regulations under U.S. law and, additionally, may be subject to negative investor perception, either of which could adversely affect
such companies' performance.
Regulatory
Risk. Foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and
are generally not subject to the regulatory controls and disclosure requirements imposed on U.S. issuers and, as a consequence, there
is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Foreign companies
may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, corporate governance practices and requirements
comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Therefore, financial information about foreign companies may be incomplete, or may
not be comparable to the information available on U.S. companies. Income from foreign securities owned by the Fund may be reduced by a
withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce dividend income payable to Fund shareholders.
There
is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, dealers, and
listed companies in foreign countries than in the U.S., thus increasing the risk of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss
of certificates for portfolio securities. Foreign markets may also have different clearance and settlement procedures. If the Fund experiences
settlement problems, it may result in temporary periods when a portion of that Fund’s assets are uninvested and could cause it
to miss attractive investment opportunities or create a potential liability to that Fund arising out of its inability to fulfill a contract
to sell such securities.
Market
Risk. Investing in foreign markets generally involves certain risks
not typically associated with investing in the United States. The securities markets in many foreign countries will have substantially
lower trading volume than the U.S. markets. As a result, the securities of some foreign companies may be less liquid and experience more
price volatility than comparable domestic securities. Obtaining and/or enforcing judgments in foreign countries may be more difficult,
and there is generally less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and issuers, each of which may make
it more difficult to enforce contractual obligations. Increased custodian costs as well as administrative costs (such as the need to use
foreign custodians) may also be associated with the maintenance of assets in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, transaction costs in
foreign securities markets are likely to be higher, since brokerage commission rates in foreign countries are likely to be higher than
in the United States.
Risks
of Developing/Emerging Market Countries.
Unless the Fund’s prospectus includes a different definition, the Fund considers developing and emerging market countries to be
those countries that are (i) generally recognized to be an emerging market country by the international financial community, including
the World Bank, (ii) determined by the Adviser to be an emerging market country or (iii) its “country of risk” is an emerging
market country as determined by a third party service provider such as Bloomberg. As of the date of this SAI, the Adviser considers “emerging
market countries” to generally include every country in the world except those countries included in the MSCI World Index. The
Adviser has broad discretion to identify
countries
that it considers to be emerging market countries and may consider
various factors in determining whether to classify a country as an emerging market country, including a country’s relative interest
rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, monetary and fiscal policies, trade and current account balances, legal and political developments
and any other specific factors the Adviser believes to be relevant. Because emerging market equity and emerging market debt are distinct
asset classes, a country may be deemed an emerging market country with respect to its equity only, its debt only, both its equity and
debt, or neither.
Investments
in developing and emerging market countries present risks in addition
to, or greater than, those presented by investments in foreign issuers generally, and may include the following risks:
i.
Restriction, to varying degrees, on foreign investment in stocks;
ii.
Repatriation of investment income, capital, and the proceeds of sales in foreign countries may require foreign governmental registration
and/or approval;
iii.
Greater risk of fluctuation in the value of foreign investments due to changes in currency exchange rates, currency control regulations
or currency devaluation. In addition, there may be higher rates of inflation and more rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates
and greater sensitivity to interest rate changes;
iv.
Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates may have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain developing
and emerging markets countries;
v.
Many of the developing and emerging market countries’ securities markets are relatively small or less diverse, have low trading
volumes, suffer periods of relative illiquidity, and are characterized by significant price volatility;
vi.
There is a risk in developing and emerging market countries that a future economic or political crisis could lead to price controls, forced
mergers of companies, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or creation of government monopolies;
vii.
Investments in such securities markets may be subject to unexpected market closures;
viii.
The taxation systems at the federal, regional and local levels in developing or emerging market countries may be less transparent and
inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change. Developing or emerging market countries may also have a higher degree of corruption
and fraud than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources;
ix.
Less developed legal systems allowing for enforcement of private property rights and/or redress for injuries to private property, such
as bankruptcy. The ability to bring and enforce actions in developing or emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to
pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may be difficult or impossible to pursue; and
x.
Less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed
countries and, as a result, the nature and quality of such information may vary. Information about such companies may be less available
and reliable and, therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in developing or emerging markets may be limited which can
impede the Fund's ability to evaluate such companies. In addition, certain developing or emerging market countries have material limitations
on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities which hinder
the ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating in certain developing or emerging
markets; therefore, there is no guarantee that the quality of financial reporting or the audits conducted by audit firms of developing
or emerging market issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Investing
in Greater China Risk. Investments in companies located or operating
in Greater China involve risks not associated with investments in Western nations, such as nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation
of property; difficulty in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts,
either internal or with other countries; inflation, currency fluctuations and
fluctuations
in inflation and interest rates that may have negative effects on the economy and securities markets
of Greater China; and Greater China’s dependency on the economies of other Asian countries, many of which are developing countries.
Events in any one country within Greater China may impact the other countries in the region or Greater China as a whole. For example,
changes to their political and economic relationships with the mainland China could adversely impact the Fund’s investments in
Taiwan and Hong Kong.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China, such as China A-shares, are
subject to trading restrictions, quota limitations, and clearing and settlement risks. Significant portions of the Chinese securities
markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities, and have shown
a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility and other events. The liquidity of Chinese securities may shrink
or disappear suddenly and without warning as a result of adverse economic, market or political events, or adverse investor perceptions,
whether or not accurate.
Export
growth continues to be a major driver of China’s rapid economic growth. As a result, a reduction in spending
on Chinese products and services, the institution of tariffs or other trade barriers, or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s
key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. The current political climate has intensified concerns about a
potential trade war between China and the United States, as each country has recently imposed tariffs on the other country’s products.
These actions may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price
reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry, which could
have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Events such as these and their consequences are difficult to predict and it is
unclear whether further tariffs may be imposed or other escalating actions may be taken in the future.
Additionally,
developing countries, such as those in Greater China, may subject the Fund’s investments to a
number of tax rules, and the application of many of those rules may be uncertain. Moreover, China has implemented a number of tax reforms
in recent years, and may amend or revise its existing tax laws and/or procedures in the future, possibly with retroactive effect. Changes
in applicable Chinese tax law could reduce the after-tax profits of the Fund, directly or indirectly, including by reducing the after-tax
profits of companies in China in which the Fund invests. Chinese taxes that may apply to the Fund’s investments include income
tax or withholding tax on dividends, interest or gains earned by the Fund, business tax and stamp duty. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules
could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Fund. The inability of the PCAOB to inspect audit work papers and practices of PCAOB-registered
accounting firms in China with respect to their audit work of U.S. reporting companies may impose significant additional risks associated
with investments in China.
Risks
of Investing in Chinese Variable Interest Entities. Many Chinese
companies have created a special structure, which is based in China, known as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as a means
to circumvent limits on direct foreign ownership of equity in Chinese operating companies in certain sectors, such as internet, media,
education and telecommunications, imposed by the Chinese government. Typically in such an arrangement, a China-based operating company
establishes an offshore “holding” company in another jurisdiction that likely does not have the same disclosure, reporting,
and governance requirements as the United States. The holding company issues shares, i.e., is “listed”, on a foreign exchange
such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The listed holding company enters into service and other contracts
with the China-based operating company, typically through the China-based VIE. The VIE must be owned by Chinese nationals (and/or other
Chinese companies), which often are the VIE’s founders, in order to obtain the licenses and/or assets required to operate in the
restricted or prohibited sector in China. The operations and financial position of the VIE are included in consolidated financial statements
of the listed holding company. Foreign investors, including mutual funds and ETFs (such as the Fund), hold stock in the listed holding
company rather than directly in the China-based operating company.
The
VIE structure allows foreign shareholders to exert a degree of control and obtain economic benefits arising
from the operating company but without formal legal ownership because the listed holding company’s
control
over the operating company is predicated entirely on contracts with the VIE. The listed holding company
is distinct from the underlying operating company, and an investment in the listed holding company represents exposure to a company that
maintains service contracts with the operating company, not equity ownership.
Investments
in companies that use VIEs may pose additional risks because the investment is made through
the listed holding company’s service and other contractual arrangements with the underlying Chinese operating company. As a result,
such investment may limit the rights of an investor with respect to the underlying Chinese operating company. The contractual arrangements
between the VIE and the operating company may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership. The Chinese
government could determine at any time and without notice that the underlying contractual arrangements on which control of the VIE is
based violate Chinese law. While VIEs are a longstanding industry practice, well known to Chinese officials and regulators, VIEs are not
formally recognized under Chinese law. The owners of the VIE could decide to breach the contractual arrangements with the listed holding
company and it is uncertain whether the contractual arrangements, which may be subject to conflicts of interest between the legal owners
of the VIE and foreign investors, would be enforced by Chinese courts or arbitration bodies. Prohibitions of these structures by the Chinese
government, or the inability to enforce such contracts, from which the shell company derives its value, would likely cause the VIE-structured
holding(s) to suffer significant, detrimental, and possibly permanent loss, and in turn, adversely affect the Fund’s returns and
net asset value.
The
Chinese government previously placed restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore
in certain sectors, including through VIEs, and investors face uncertainty about future actions by the Chinese government that could significantly
affect the operating company’s financial performance and the enforceability of the contractual arrangements underlying the VIE
structure. It is uncertain whether Chinese officials or regulators will withdraw their implicit acceptance of the VIE structure, or whether
any new laws, rules or regulations relating to VIE structures will be adopted and what impact such laws may have on foreign investors.
There is a risk that China might prohibit the existence of VIEs or sever their ability to transmit economic and governance rights to foreign
individuals and entities; if so, the market value of any associated portfolio holdings would likely suffer substantial, detrimental, and
possibly permanent loss.
Chinese
companies, including those listed on U.S. exchanges, are generally not subject to the same degree
of regulatory requirements, accounting standards or auditor oversight as companies in more developed countries. As a result, information
about VIEs may be less reliable or complete. Foreign companies with securities listed on U.S. exchanges, including those that utilize
VIEs, may be delisted if they do not meet the requirements of the listing exchange, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”)
and the U.S. government, which could significantly decrease the liquidity and value of such securities. Actions by the U.S. government,
such as delisting of certain Chinese companies from U.S. securities exchanges or otherwise restricting their operations in the U.S., may
negatively impact the liquidity and value of such securities.
Risks
of Investments in China A-shares through the Stock Connect Program.
The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program (both programs collectively referred to
as the Connect Program) are securities trading and clearing programs through which the Fund can trade eligible listed China A-shares.
The Connect Program is subject to quota limitations and an investor cannot purchase and sell the same security on the same trading day,
which may restrict a Fund’s ability to invest in China A-shares through the Connect Program and to enter into or exit trades on
a timely basis. The Shanghai and Shenzhen markets may be open at a time when the Connect Program is not trading, with the result that
prices of China A-shares may fluctuate at times when the Fund is unable to add to or exit its position. Only certain China A-shares are
eligible to be accessed through the Connect Program. Such securities may lose their eligibility at any time, in which case they could
be sold but could no longer be purchased through the Connect Program. Because the Connect Program is still relatively in its early stages,
the actual effect on the market for trading China A-shares with the introduction of large numbers of foreign investors is currently unknown.
The Connect Program is subject to regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities for the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange
of Hong Kong Limited, and the Shenzhen
Stock
Exchange, and further regulations or restrictions, such as limitations on redemptions or suspension of trading,
may adversely impact the Connect Program, if the authorities believe it necessary to assure orderly markets or for other reasons. There
is no guarantee that all three exchanges will continue to support the Connect Program in the future and no assurance that further regulations
will not adversely affect the availability of securities under Stock Connect or other operational arrangements.
Investments
in China A-shares may not be covered by the securities investor protection programs of the exchanges
and, without the protection of such programs, will be subject to the risk of default by the broker. In the event that the depository of
the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange defaulted, a Fund may not be able to recover fully its losses from the depository
or may be delayed in receiving proceeds as part of any recovery process. In addition, because all trades on the Connect Program in respect
of eligible China A-shares must be settled in Renminbi (RMB), the Chinese currency, the Fund investing through the Connect Program must
have timely access to a reliable supply of offshore RMB, which cannot be guaranteed. The existence of a liquid trading market for China
A-shares may depend on whether there is supply of, and demand for, such China A-shares. Market volatility and settlement difficulties
in the China A-shares markets may also result in significant fluctuations in the prices of the securities traded on such markets.
China
A-shares purchased through the Connect Program are held in nominee name and not the Fund’s name
as the beneficial owner. It is possible, therefore, that a Fund’s ability to exercise its rights as a shareholder and to pursue
claims against the issuer of China A-shares may be limited because the nominee structure has not been tested in Chinese courts, as Chinese
courts generally have limited experience in applying the concept of beneficial ownership and the law in that area continues to evolve.
In addition, a Fund may not be able to participate in corporate actions affecting China A-shares held through the Connect Program due
to time constraints or for other operational reasons.
Trades
on the Connect Program are subject to certain requirements prior to trading. If these requirements are
not completed prior to the market opening, a Fund cannot sell the shares on that trading day. In addition, these requirements may limit
the number of brokers that a Fund may use to execute trades. If an investor holds 5% or more of the total shares issued by a China A-share
issuer, whether or not such shares were acquired through the Stock Connect Program, the investor must return any profits obtained from
the purchase and sale of those shares if both transactions occur within a six-month period. If a Fund holds 5% or more of the total shares
of a China A-share issuer through its Connect Program investments, its profits may be subject to these limitations. All accounts managed
by the Adviser and/or its affiliates will be aggregated for purposes of this 5% limitation, which makes it more likely that a Fund's profits
may be subject to these limitations.
Risks
of Investments in the China Interbank Bond Market through the Bond Connect Program.
The Fund may invest in China onshore bonds traded on the China Interbank Bond Market (CIBM) through the China – Hong Kong Bond
Connect Program (Bond Connect). In China, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Central Moneymarkets Unit holds Bond Connect securities
on behalf of ultimate investors (such as the Fund) in accounts maintained with a China-based custodian (either the China Central Depository
& Clearing Co. or the Shanghai Clearing House). This recordkeeping system subjects a Fund to various risks, including the risks of
settlement delays and counterparty default of the China custodian and Hong Kong custody agent. In addition, the Fund may have a limited
ability to enforce rights as a bondholder because enforcing the ownership rights of a beneficial holder of Bond Connect securities is
untested and courts in China have limited experience in applying the concept of beneficial ownership.
Bond
Connect uses the trading infrastructure of both Hong Kong and China and is not available on trading
holidays in Hong Kong. As a result, prices of securities purchased through Bond Connect may fluctuate at times when the Fund is unable
to add to or exit its position. Securities offered through Bond Connect may lose their eligibility for trading through Bond Connect at
any time. If Bond Connect securities lose their eligibility for trading through Bond Connect, they may be sold but can no longer be purchased
through Bond Connect.
Because
Bond Connect trades are settled in RMB, the Fund investing through Bond Connect must have timely
access to a reliable supply of offshore RMB, which cannot be guaranteed.
Market
volatility and potential lack of liquidity due to low trading volume of certain bonds on the CIBM may result
in prices of such bonds fluctuating significantly, exposing a Fund to liquidity and volatility risks. The bid-ask spreads of the prices
of such securities may be large, and a Fund may therefore incur significant costs and may suffer losses when selling such investments.
Bonds traded on the CIBM may be difficult or impossible to sell, which may impact a Fund’s ability to acquire or dispose of such
securities at their expected prices.
Bond
Connect is relatively new and its effects on the Chinese interbank bond market are uncertain. Trading
through Bond Connect is performed through newly developed trading platforms and operational systems, and in the event of systems malfunctions
or extreme market conditions, trading via Bond Connect could be disrupted. There can be no assurance as to Bond Connect’s continued
existence or whether future developments regarding Bond Connect (including further interpretation and guidance provided by regulators
in Hong Kong and China) may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Finally, uncertainties in China tax
rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments via Bond Connect could result in unexpected tax liabilities for a Fund.
Foreign
Government Obligations. Debt securities issued by foreign governments
are often, but not always, supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign governments, or their subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities,
that issue them. These securities involve the risks discussed above under “Foreign Securities”. Additionally, the issuer
of the debt or the governmental authorities that control repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to pay interest or repay principal
when due. Political or economic changes or the balance of trade may affect a country’s willingness or ability to service its debt
obligations. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt obligations, especially debt
obligations issued by the governments of developing countries. Foreign government obligations of developing countries, and some structures
of emerging market debt securities, both of which are generally below investment grade, are sometimes referred to as “Brady Bonds.”
The failure of a sovereign debtor to implement economic reforms, achieve specified levels of economic performance, or repay principal
or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third-party commitments to lend funds to the sovereign debtor, which may impair
the debtor’s ability or willingness to service its debts.
Foreign
Exchange Transactions. The Fund may invest in foreign currency-denominated
securities and has the authority to purchase and sell put and call options on foreign currencies (foreign currency options), foreign currency
futures contracts and related options, and currency-related swaps, and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e.,
for prompt delivery and settlement) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through forward foreign
currency contracts (see “forward foreign currency contracts”). The use of these instruments may result in a loss to the
Fund if the counterparty to the transaction (particularly with respect to OTC derivatives, as discussed further below) does not perform
as promised, including because of such counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
The
Fund will incur costs in converting assets from one currency to another. Foreign exchange dealers may
charge a fee for conversion. In addition, dealers may realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they buy and
sell various currencies in the spot and forward markets.
The
Fund will generally engage in these foreign exchange transactions in order to complete a purchase or sale
of foreign currency denominated securities. The Fund may also use foreign currency options, forward foreign currency contracts, foreign
currency futures contracts and currency-related swap contracts to increase or reduce exposure to a foreign currency, to shift exposure
from one foreign currency to another in a cross currency hedge or to enhance returns. These transactions are intended to minimize
the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies; however, at the same time, they tend to limit any potential gain
which might result should the value of such currencies increase.
The
Fund may purchase and sell foreign currency futures contracts and purchase and write foreign currency
options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. The Fund may also purchase and write foreign currency options
in connection with foreign currency futures contracts or forward foreign currency contracts. Foreign currency futures contracts are traded
on exchanges and have standard contract sizes and delivery dates. Most foreign currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery
in U.S.
dollars.
The uses and risks of foreign currency futures contracts are similar to those of futures contracts relating
to securities or indices (see “Futures Contracts”). Foreign currency futures contracts’ values can be expected to
correlate with exchange rates but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of the Fund’s investments.
Whether
or not any hedging strategy will be successful is highly uncertain, and use of hedging strategies may
leave the Fund in a less advantageous position than if a hedge had not been established. Moreover, it is impossible to forecast with precision
the market value of portfolio securities at the expiration of a forward foreign currency contract. Accordingly, the Fund may be required
to buy or sell additional currency on the spot market (and bear the expense of such transaction) if Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’
predictions regarding the movement of foreign currency or securities markets prove inaccurate.
A
Fund may hold a portion of its assets in bank deposits denominated in foreign currencies, so as to facilitate
investment in foreign securities as well as protect against currency fluctuations and the need to convert such assets into U.S. dollars
(thereby also reducing transaction costs). To the extent these monies are converted back into U.S. dollars, the value of the assets so
maintained will be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Foreign
exchange transactions may involve some of the risks of investments in foreign securities.
Under
definitions adopted by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC), non-deliverable foreign exchange forwards and OTC foreign exchange options are considered “swaps.”
These instruments are therefore included in the definition of “commodity interests” for purposes of determining whether
fund service providers qualify for certain exemptions and exclusions from regulation by the CFTC. Although non-deliverable forward foreign
currency contracts have historically been traded in the OTC market, as swaps they may in the future be regulated to be centrally cleared
and traded on public execution facilities. For more information, see “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts” and “Swaps.”
Floating
Rate Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities of Non-U.S. Borrowers.
The Fund may invest in floating rate loans and debt securities made to and issued by non-U.S. borrowers and the borrower will meet the
credit quality standards established by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers for U.S. borrowers. The Fund similarly may invest in floating rate
loans and floating rate debt securities made to and issued by U.S. borrowers with significant non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenues.
Foreign
Bank Obligations. Foreign bank obligations include certificates
of deposit, banker’s acceptances and fixed time deposits and other obligations (a) denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by a
foreign branch of a domestic bank (Eurodollar Obligations), (b) denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by a domestic branch of a foreign
bank (Yankee Dollar Obligations), or (c) issued by foreign branches of foreign banks. Foreign banks are not generally subject to examination
by any U.S. government agency or instrumentality.
Passive
Foreign Investment Companies. Under U.S. tax laws, passive foreign
investment companies (PFICs) are those foreign corporations which generate primarily “passive” income. Passive income is
defined as any income that is considered foreign personal holding company income under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code).
For federal tax purposes, a foreign corporation is deemed to be a PFIC if 75% or more of its gross income during a taxable year is passive
income or if 50% or more of its assets during a taxable year are assets that produce, or are held to produce, passive income.
Foreign
mutual funds are generally deemed to be PFICs, since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is passive
income. Foreign mutual funds investments may be used to gain exposure to the securities of companies in countries that limit or prohibit
direct foreign investment; however, investments in foreign mutual funds by a Fund are subject to limits under the Investment Company Act.
Other
types of foreign corporations may also be considered PFICs if their percentage of passive income or
passive assets exceeds the limits described above. A determination as to whether a foreign corporation is considered a PFIC is based on
an interpretation of complex provisions of the tax law. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a conclusion regarding a corporation's
status as a PFIC will not be challenged by the
Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) and conclusions as a corporation's PFIC status may vary depending on who is
doing the analysis. Unless a Fund makes an election with respect to its investment in a PFIC, which election may not always be possible,
income from the disposition of a PFIC investment and from certain PFIC distributions may be subject to adverse tax treatment. The application
of the PFIC rules may affect, among other things, the character of gains, the amount of gain or loss and the timing of the recognition
of income with respect to PFIC shares, and may subject a Fund to tax on certain income from PFIC shares. Federal tax laws impose severe
tax penalties for failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Although every effort is made to ensure compliance with federal
tax reporting requirements for these investments, foreign corporations that are PFICs for federal tax purposes may not always be recognized
as such or may not provide the Fund with all information required to report, or make an election with respect to, such investment.
A
foreign issuer will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to a shareholder if such issuer is a controlled foreign
corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes (CFC) and the shareholder holds (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more
of the voting interests in or total value of such issuer. In such a case, the shareholder generally would be required to include in gross
income each year, as ordinary income, its share of certain amounts of a CFC’s income, whether or not the CFC distributes such shareholder’s
share of such amounts to it. Under proposed regulations, such income will be considered “qualifying income” for purposes
of a shareholder’s qualification as a regulated investment company only to the extent such income is timely distributed to that

Risks
Related to Russian Invasion of Ukraine. In late February 2022,
Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia, Ukraine, Europe,
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the West. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies
to Russia’s actions, and the potential for wider conflict may increase financial market volatility and could have severe adverse
effects on regional and global economic markets, including the markets for certain securities and commodities such as oil and natural
gas.
Following
Russia’s actions, various countries, including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and
France, among others, as well as the European Union, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. The sanctions freeze certain
Russian assets and prohibit trading by individuals and entities in certain Russian securities, engaging in certain private transactions,
and doing business with certain Russian corporate entities, large financial institutions, officials and oligarchs. The sanctions include
a commitment by certain countries and the European Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunications, commonly called “SWIFT,” the electronic network that connects banks globally, and imposed restrictive
measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from undermining the impact of the sanctions. A number of large corporations have since withdrawn
from Russia or suspended or curtailed their Russia-based operations.
The
imposition of these current sanctions (and the potential for further sanctions in response to Russia’s continued
military activity) and other actions undertaken by countries and businesses may adversely impact various sectors of the Russian economy,
including, but not limited to, the financials, energy, metals and mining, engineering, and defense and defense-related materials sectors.
Such actions also may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble, and could impair
the ability of a Fund to buy, sell, receive, or deliver those securities. Moreover, the measures could adversely affect global financial
and energy markets and thereby negatively affect the value of a Fund’s investments beyond any direct exposure to Russian issuers
or those of adjoining geographic regions.
In
response to sanctions, the Russian Central Bank raised its interest rates and banned sales of local securities
by foreigners. Russia also prevented the export of certain goods and payments to foreign shareholders of Russian securities. Russia may
take additional countermeasures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities and Fund
investments. Such actions could, for example, include restricting gas exports to other countries, the seizure of U.S. and European residents’
assets, or undertaking or provoking other military conflict elsewhere in Europe, any of which could exacerbate
negative
consequences on global financial markets and the economy. The actions discussed above could have
a negative effect on the performance of Funds that have exposure to Russia. While diplomatic efforts have been ongoing, the conflict between
Russia and Ukraine is unpredictable and has the potential to result in broader military actions. The duration of the ongoing conflict
and corresponding sanctions and related events cannot be predicted and may result in a negative impact on Fund performance and the value
of Fund investments, particularly as it relates to Russian exposure.
Exchange-Traded
Funds
Exchange-Traded
Funds (ETFs). Most ETFs are registered under the 1940 Act as investment
companies, although others may not be registered as investment companies and are registered as commodity pools. Therefore, the Fund’s
purchase of shares of an ETF may be subject to the restrictions on investments in other investment companies discussed under “Other
Investment Companies.” ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. The Fund may invest in ETFs advised by unaffiliated
advisers as well as ETFs advised by Invesco Capital. Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and Invesco Capital are affiliates of each other as they
are all indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
Generally,
ETFs hold portfolios of securities, commodities and/or currencies that are designed to replicate,
as closely as possible before expenses, the performance of a specified market index. The performance results of ETFs will not replicate
exactly the performance of the pertinent index due to transaction and other expenses, including fees to service providers, borne by ETFs.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the portfolio of securities, commodities and/or currencies purchased by an ETF will replicate
a particular index. Some ETFs are actively managed and instead of replicating a particular index they seek to outperform it, or outperform
a basket of securities or price of a commodity or currency.
Only
Authorized Participants (APs) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with ETFs. ETF
shares are sold to and redeemed by APs at net asset value only in large blocks called creation units and redemption units, respectively.
Such market makers have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders; consequently, there is no assurance that market makers
will establish or maintain an active trading market for ETF shares. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable
to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to an ETF and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem units
of an ETF, an ETF’s shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts
and/or delisting. ETF shares may be purchased and sold by all other investors in secondary market trading on national securities exchanges,
which allows investors to purchase and sell ETF shares at their market price throughout the day.
Investments
in ETFs generally present the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional mutual fund
that has the same investment objective, strategy and policies. Investments in ETFs further involve the same risks associated with a direct
investment in the types of securities, commodities and/or currencies included in the indices the ETFs are designed to replicate. In addition,
shares of an ETF may trade at a market price that is higher or lower than their net asset value and an active trading market in such shares
may not develop or continue. Moreover, trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem
such action to be appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers”
(which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Exchange-Traded
Notes
Exchange-Traded
Notes (ETNs). ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities
whose returns are linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. ETNs are traded on an
exchange (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange) during normal trading hours; however, investors can also hold the ETN until maturity. At
maturity, the issuer pays to the investor a cash amount equal to the principal amount, subject to the day’s market benchmark or
strategy factor. ETNs do not make periodic coupon payments or provide principal protection. ETNs are subject to credit risk, including
the credit risk of the issuer, and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating, despite the
underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an ETN may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of
supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying assets,
changes
in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic
events that affect the referenced underlying asset. When a Fund invests in ETNs it will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses
borne by the ETN. A decision to sell ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market. In addition, although an ETN
may be listed on an exchange, the issuer may not be required to maintain the listing, and there can be no assurance that a secondary market
will exist for an ETN.
ETNs
are also subject to tax risk. No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will accept,
or a court will uphold, how ETNs are characterized or treated for tax purposes. Further, the IRS and Congress are considering proposals
that would change the timing and character of income and gains from ETNs.
An
ETN that is tied to a specific market benchmark or strategy may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly
the composition and relative weighting of securities, commodities or other components in the applicable market benchmark or strategy.
Some ETNs that use leverage can, at times, be relatively illiquid, and thus they may be difficult to purchase or sell at a fair price.
Leveraged ETNs are subject to the same risk as other instruments that use leverage in any form.
The
market value of ETNs may differ from their market benchmark or strategy. This difference in price may
be due to the fact that the supply and demand in the market for ETNs at any point in time is not always identical to the supply and demand
in the market for the securities, commodities or other components underlying the market benchmark or strategy that the ETN seeks to track.
As a result, there may be times when an ETN trades at a premium or discount to its market benchmark or strategy.
Debt
Investments
U.S.
Government Obligations. U.S. government obligations are obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and include bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S.
Treasury, as well as “stripped” or “zero coupon” U.S. Treasury obligations.
U.S.
government obligations may be, (i) supported by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) supported by the discretionary
authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency’s obligations, or (iv) supported only by the credit of the instrumentality.
There is a risk that the U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities
if it is not legally obligated to do so. In that case, if the issuer were to default, the Fund holding securities of such issuer might
not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. government. For example, while the U.S. government has provided financial support
to Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), no assurance can be given that the
U.S. government will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so obligated by law. There also is no guarantee that the government
would support Federal Home Loan Banks. Accordingly, securities of FNMA, FHLMC and Federal Home Loan Banks, and other agencies, may involve
a risk of non-payment of principal and interest. Any downgrade of the credit rating of the securities issued by the U.S. government may
result in a downgrade of securities issued by its agencies or instrumentalities, including government-sponsored entities. Additionally,
from time to time uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt limit, commonly
called the “debt ceiling,” could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government
securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded, increase volatility in the stock and bond markets, result
in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities, and/or increase the costs of various kinds of debt. If a U.S. government-sponsored
entity is negatively impacted by legislative or regulatory action, is unable to meet its obligations, or its creditworthiness declines,
the performance of a Fund that holds securities of that entity will be adversely impacted.
Inflation-Indexed
Bonds.
Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation.
Two structures are common. The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that accrues inflation into the principal value of
the bond. Most other issuers pay out the Consumer Price Index (CPI) accruals as part of a semiannual coupon.
Inflation-indexed
securities issued by the U.S. Treasury have maturities of five, ten or thirty years, although
it is possible that securities with other maturities will be issued in the future. The U.S. Treasury securities pay interest on a semi-annual
basis, equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount. For example, if a fund purchased an inflation-indexed bond
with a par value of $1,000 and a 3% real rate of return coupon (payable 1.5% semi-annually), and inflation over the first six months was
1%, the mid-year par value of the bond would be $1,010 and the first semi-annual interest payment would be $15.15 ($1,010 times 1.5%).
If inflation during the second half of the year resulted in the whole years’ inflation equaling 3%, the end-of-year par value of
the bond would be $1,030 and the second semiannual interest payment would be $15.45 ($1,030 times 1.5%).
If
the periodic adjustment rate measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be
adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will
be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury
inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed, and will
fluctuate. Other inflation related bonds which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided,
the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal.
The
value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real
interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation
were to rise at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed
bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a
decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds.
While
these securities are expected to be protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases
in inflation may lead to a decline in value. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in
currency exchange rates), investors in these securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s
inflation measure.
The
periodic adjustment of U.S. inflation-indexed bonds is tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers
(CPI-U), which is calculated monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-U is a measurement of changes in the cost of living,
made up of components such as housing, food, transportation and energy. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by a foreign government are generally
adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government. There can be no assurance that the CPI-U or any foreign
inflation index will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Moreover, there can be no assurance
that the rate of inflation in a foreign country will be correlated to the rate of inflation in the United States.
Any
increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered taxable ordinary income,
even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Temporary
Investments. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in affiliated
money market funds or in other types of money market instruments in which those funds would invest or other short-term U.S. government
securities for cash management purposes. The Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the
Fund's principal investment strategies for temporary defensive purposes in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic,
political or other conditions, or atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. As a result, the Fund may
not achieve its investment objective.
Changing
Interest Rates. In a low or negative interest rate environment,
debt securities may trade at, or be issued with, negative yields, which means the purchaser of the security may receive at maturity less
than the total amount invested. In addition, in a negative interest rate environment, if a bank charges negative interest, instead of
receiving interest on deposits, a depositor must pay the bank fees to keep money with the bank. To the extent a Fund holds a negatively-yielding
debt security or has a bank deposit with a negative interest rate, the Fund would generate a negative return on that investment. Cash
positions may also subject
a
Fund to increased counterparty risk to the Fund's bank. Debt market conditions are highly unpredictable and some
parts of the market are subject to dislocations. In the past, the U.S. government and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to
stabilize markets by, among other things, reducing interest rates. To the extent such actions are pursued, they present heightened risks
to debt securities, and such risks could be even further heightened if these actions are unexpectedly or suddenly reversed or are ineffective
in achieving their desired outcomes. In recent years, the U.S. government began implementing increases to the federal funds interest rate
and there may be further rate increases. As interest rates rise, there is risk that rates across the financial system also may rise. To
the extent rates increase substantially and/or rapidly, the Funds may be subject to significant losses.
In
a low or negative interest rate environment, some investors may seek to reallocate assets to other income-producing assets. This may cause
the price of such higher yielding instruments to rise, could further reduce the value of instruments with a negative yield, and may limit
a Fund's ability to locate fixed income instruments containing the desired risk/return profile. Changing interest rates, including, rates
that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility, increased
redemptions, and potential illiquidity.
With
respect to a money market fund, which seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share, a low or negative
interest rate environment could impact the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. During a low or
negative interest rate environment, such money market fund may reduce the number of shares outstanding on a pro rata basis through reverse
stock splits, negative dividends or other mechanisms to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share, to the extent permissible by
applicable law and its organizational documents. Alternatively, the money market fund may discontinue using the amortized cost method
of valuation to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share and establish a fluctuating NAV per share rounded to four decimal places by using
available market quotations or equivalents.
In
December 2021, the SEC proposed amendments to Rule 2a-7 that, if adopted, would impact the manner
in which all types of money market funds operate. The amendments would, among other items, prohibit certain mechanisms for maintaining
a stable NAV per share in negative interest rate environments, such as by reducing the number of fund shares outstanding (including through
reverse distribution mechanisms).
Mortgage-Backed
and Asset-Backed Securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities
include commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). Mortgage-backed securities are
mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, or issued by non-government
entities, such as commercial banks and other private lenders. Mortgage-related securities represent ownership in pools of mortgage loans
assembled for sale to investors by various government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and government-related
organizations such as the FNMA and the FHLMC, as well as by non-government issuers such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions,
mortgage bankers and private mortgage insurance companies. Although certain mortgage-related securities are guaranteed by a third party
or otherwise similarly secured, the market value of the security, which may fluctuate, is not so secured. These securities differ from
conventional bonds in that the principal is paid back to the investor as payments are made on the underlying mortgages in the pool. Accordingly,
the Fund receives monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest along with any unscheduled principal prepayments on the underlying
mortgages. Because these scheduled and unscheduled principal payments must be reinvested at prevailing interest rates, mortgage-backed
securities do not provide an effective means of locking in long-term interest rates for the investor.
In
addition, there are a number of important differences among the agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
government that issue mortgage-related securities and among the securities they issue. Mortgage-related securities issued by GNMA include
GNMA Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as Ginnie Maes) which are guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest.
That guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. GNMA is a corporation wholly-owned by the U.S. government
within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Mortgage-related
securities issued by FNMA
include
FNMA Guaranteed Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates (also known as Fannie Maes) and are guaranteed
as to payment of principal and interest by FNMA itself and backed by a line of credit with the U.S. Treasury. FNMA is a government-sponsored
entity (GSE) wholly-owned by public stockholders. Mortgage-related securities issued by FHLMC include FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates
(also known as Freddie Macs) and are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by FHLMC itself and backed by a line of credit
with the U.S. Treasury. FHLMC is a GSE wholly-owned by public stockholders.
Another
type of mortgage-related security issued by GSEs, such as FNMA and FHLMC, is credit risk transfer
securities. GSE credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured fixed or floating rate general obligations issued by GSEs,
which are typically issued at par and have stated final maturities. In addition, GSE credit risk transfer securities are structured so
that: (i) interest is paid directly by the issuing GSE; and (ii) principal is paid by the issuing GSE in accordance with the principal
payments and default performance of a pool of residential mortgage loans acquired by the GSE. The issuing GSE selects the pool of mortgage
loans based on that GSE’s eligibility criteria, and the performance of the credit risk transfer securities will be directly affected
by the selection of such underlying mortgage loans.
GSE
credit risk transfer securities are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. Thus,
although the payment of principal and interest on such securities is tied to the performance of the pool of underlying mortgage loans,
in no circumstances will the actual cash flow from the underlying mortgage loans be paid or otherwise made available to the holders of
the securities and the holders of the securities will have no interest in the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that
a GSE fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding,
holders of such credit risk transfer securities will have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans. Such holders will receive
recovery on par with other unsecured note holders (agency debentures) in such a scenario.
GSE
credit risk transfer securities are issued in multiple tranches, which are allocated certain principal repayments
and credit losses corresponding to the seniority of the particular tranche. Each tranche will have credit exposure to the underlying mortgage
loans and the yield to maturity will be directly related to the amount and timing of certain defined credit events on the underlying mortgage
loans, any prepayments by borrowers and any removals of a mortgage loan from the pool. Because credit risk exposure is allocated in accordance
with the seniority of the particular tranche, principal losses will be first allocated to the most junior or subordinate tranches, thus
making the most subordinate tranches subject to increased sensitivity to dramatic housing downturns. In addition, many credit risk transfer
securities have collateral performance triggers (such as those based on credit enhancement, delinquencies or defaults) that could shut
off principal payments to subordinate tranches.
The
risks associated with an investment in GSE credit risk transfer securities will be different than the risks
associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by GSEs, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk
associated with the underlying mortgage loans in credit risk transfer securities is transferred to investors, such as the Fund. As a result,
investors in GSE credit risk transfer securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage
loans default.
The
Fund may also invest in credit risk transfer securities issued by private entities, such as banks or other
financial institutions. Credit risk transfer securities issued by private entities are structured similarly to those issued by GSEs, and
are generally subject to the same types of risks, including credit, prepayment, extension, interest rate and market risks.
On
September 7, 2008, FNMA and FHLMC were placed under the conservatorship of the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (FHFA) to provide stability in the financial markets, mortgage availability and taxpayer protection by preserving FNMA
and FHLMC’s assets and property and putting FNMA and FHLMC in a sound and solvent position. Under the conservatorship, the management
of FNMA and FHLMC was replaced.
Since
2009, both FNMA and FHLMC have received significant capital support through U.S. Treasury preferred
stock purchases and Federal Reserve purchases of the entities’ mortgage-backed securities.
In
February 2011, the Obama Administration produced a report to Congress outlining proposals to wind down
FNMA and FHLMC and reduce the government’s role in the mortgage market. In December 2011, Congress enacted the Temporary Payroll
Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 which, among other provisions, requires that FNMA and FHLMC increase their single-family guaranty fees
by at least 10 basis points and remit this increase to Treasury with respect to all loans acquired by FNMA or FHLMC on or after April
1, 2012 and before January 1, 2022. Discussions among policymakers continue, however, as to whether FNMA and FHLMC should be nationalized,
privatized, restructured, or eliminated altogether. FNMA reported in the third quarter of 2016 that it expected "continued significant
uncertainty"
regarding its future and the housing finance system, including how long FNMA will continue to exist in its current form, the extent of
its role in the market, how long it will be in conservatorship, what form it will have and what ownership interest, if any, current common
and preferred stockholders will hold after the conservatorship is terminated, and whether FNMA will continue to exist following conservatorship.
FHLMC faces similar uncertainty about its future role. If FNMA and FHLMC are taken out of conservatorship, it is unclear how the capital
structure of FNMA and FHLMC would be constructed and what effects, if any, there may be on FNMA’s and FHLMC’s creditworthiness
and guarantees of certain mortgage-backed securities.
It is also unclear whether the U.S. Treasury would continue to
enforce its rights or perform its obligations related to senior preferred stock. Should FNMA’s and FHLMC’s conservatorship
end, there could be an adverse impact on the value of their securities, which could cause Fund losses. FNMA and FHLMC also are the subject
of several continuing legal actions and investigations over certain accounting, disclosure or corporate governance matters, which (along
with any resulting financial restatements) may continue to have an adverse effect on the guaranteeing entities. Importantly, the future
of the entities is in question as the U.S. government considers multiple options regarding the future of FNMA and FHLMC.
Under
the direction of the FHFA, FNMA and FHLMC have entered into a joint initiative to develop a common
securitization platform for the issuance of a uniform mortgage-backed security (the “Single Security Initiative”) that aligns
the characteristics of FNMA and FHLMC certificates. The Single Security Initiative seeks to support the overall liquidity of the TBA market.
FNMA and FHLMC began issuing uniform mortgage-backed security in June 2019, and while the initial effects of the issuance of uniform mortgage-backed
securities on the market for mortgage-related securities have been relatively minimal, the long-term effects are still uncertain.
Asset-backed
securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests
in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales contracts or installment loan contracts,
leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements and from sales of personal property.
Regular payments received on asset-backed securities include both interest and principal. Asset-backed securities typically have
no U.S. Government backing. Additionally, the ability of an issuer of asset-backed securities to enforce its security interest in
the underlying assets may be limited.
If
the Fund purchases a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security at a premium, the premium may be
lost if there is a decline in the market value of the security whether resulting from changes in interest rates or prepayments in the
underlying collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest
rates. Although the value of a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not
necessarily true, since in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages and loans underlying the securities are prone to prepayment,
thereby shortening the average life of the security and shortening the period of time over which income at the higher rate is received.
When interest rates are rising, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the period of time over which income at
the lower rate is received. For these and other reasons, a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security’s average maturity may
be shortened or lengthened as a result of interest rate fluctuations and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security’s
return. In addition, while the trading market for short-term mortgages and asset-backed securities is ordinarily quite liquid, in times
of financial stress the trading market for these securities may become restricted.
CMBS
and RMBS generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related mortgage-backed
securities because there are no direct or indirect government or government agency guarantees of payment. The risk of loss due to default
on CMBS and RMBS is historically higher because neither the U.S. government nor an agency or instrumentality have guaranteed them. CMBS
and RMBS whose underlying assets are neither U.S. government securities nor U.S. government insured mortgages, to the extent that real
properties securing such assets may be located in the same geographical region, may also be subject to a greater risk of default than
other comparable securities in the event of adverse economic, political or business developments that may affect such region and, ultimately,
the ability of property owners to make payments of principal and interest on the underlying mortgages. Non-government mortgage-backed
securities are generally subject to greater price volatility than those issued, guaranteed or sponsored by government entities because
of the greater risk of default in adverse market conditions. Where a guarantee is provided by a private guarantor, the Fund is subject
to the credit risk of such guarantor, especially when the guarantor doubles as the originator.
Asset-Backed
Securities. Asset-backed securities are interests in pooled mortgages,
loans, receivables, or other assets. Payments of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated
by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.
Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information
concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables,
or the entities providing the credit enhancement.
Collateralized
Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). A CMO is a hybrid between a mortgage-backed
bond and a mortgage pass-through security. A CMO is a type of mortgage-backed security that creates separate classes with varying maturities
and interest rates, called tranches. Similar to a bond, interest and prepaid principal is paid, in most cases, semiannually. CMOs may
be collateralized by whole mortgage loans, but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed
by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA, and their income streams.
CMOs
are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different fixed or floating interest rate and stated
maturity. Actual maturity and average life will depend upon the prepayment experience of the collateral. CMOs provide for a modified form
of call protection through a de facto breakdown of the underlying pool of mortgages according to how quickly the loans are repaid. Monthly
payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the
shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes receive principal only after the first class has been retired.
An investor is partially guarded against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments.
In
a typical CMO transaction, a corporation (issuer) issues multiple series (i.e., Series A, B, C and Z) of CMO
bonds (Bonds). Proceeds of the Bond offering are used to purchase mortgages or mortgage pass-through certificates (Collateral). The Collateral
is pledged to a third party trustee as security for the Bonds. Principal and interest payments from the Collateral are used to pay principal
on the Bonds in the following order: Series A, B, C and Z. The Series A, B, and C Bonds all bear current interest. Interest on a Series
Z Bond is accrued and added to principal and a like amount is paid as principal on the Series A, B, or C Bond is currently being paid
off. Only after the Series A, B, and C Bonds are paid in full does the Series Z Bond begin to receive payment. With some CMOs, the issuer
serves as a conduit to allow loan originators (primarily builders or savings and loan associations) to borrow against their loan portfolios.
CMOs
that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by any
of its agencies or instrumentalities will be considered U.S. government securities by the Fund, while other CMOs, even if collateralized
by U.S. government securities, will have the same status as other privately issued securities for purposes of applying the Fund's diversification
tests.
FHLMC
CMOs are debt obligations of FHLMC issued in multiple classes having different maturity dates which
are secured by the pledge of a pool of conventional mortgage loans purchased by FHLMC. Payments of principal and interest on the FHLMC
CMOs are made semiannually. The amount of principal payable on
each
semiannual payment date is determined in accordance with FHLMC’s mandatory sinking fund schedule, which,
in turn, is equal to approximately 100% of FHA prepayment experience applied to the mortgage collateral pool. All sinking fund payments
in the FHLMC CMOs are allocated to the retirement of the individual classes of bonds in the order of their stated maturities. Payment
of principal on the mortgage loans in the collateral pool in excess of the amount of FHLMC’s minimum sinking fund obligation for
any payment date are paid to the holders of the FHLMC CMOs as additional sinking fund payments. Because of the “pass-through”
nature of all principal payments received on the collateral pool in excess of FHLMC’s minimum sinking fund requirement, the rate
at which principal of the FHLMC CMOs is actually repaid is likely to be such that each class of bonds will be retired in advance of its
scheduled maturity date. If collection of principal (including prepayments) on the mortgage loans during any semiannual payment period
is not sufficient to meet the FHLMC CMO’s minimum sinking fund obligation on the next sinking fund payment date, FHLMC agrees to
make up the deficiency from its general funds.
Classes
of CMOs may also include interest only securities (IOs) and principal only securities (POs). IOs and
POs are stripped mortgage-backed securities representing interests in a pool of mortgages the cash flow from which has been separated
into interest and principal components. IOs receive the interest portion of the cash flow while POs receive the principal portion. IOs
and POs can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to
move in the same direction as interest rates. POs perform best when prepayments on the underlying mortgages rise since this increases
the rate at which the investment is returned and the yield to maturity on the PO. When payments on mortgages underlying a PO are slow,
the life of the PO is lengthened and the yield to maturity is reduced.
CMOs
are generally subject to the same risks as mortgage-backed securities. In addition, CMOs may be subject
to credit risk because the issuer or credit enhancer has defaulted on its obligations and the Fund may not receive all or part of its
principal. Obligations issued by U.S. government-related entities are guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest, but are
not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The performance of private label mortgage-backed securities, issued by
private institutions, is based on the financial health of those institutions. Although GNMA guarantees timely payment of GNMA certificates
even if homeowners delay or default, tracking the “pass-through” payments may, at times, be difficult.
Collateralized
Debt Obligations (CDOs). A CDO is a security backed by a pool of
bonds, loans and other debt obligations. CDOs are not limited to investing in one type of debt and accordingly, a CDO may own corporate
bonds, commercial loans, asset-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and emerging
market debt. The CDO’s securities are typically divided into several classes, or bond tranches, that have differing levels of investment
grade or credit tolerances. Most CDO issues are structured in a way that enables the senior bond classes and mezzanine classes to receive
investment-grade credit ratings. Credit risk is shifted to the most junior class of securities. If any defaults occur in the assets backing
a CDO, the senior bond classes are first in line to receive principal and interest payments, followed by the mezzanine classes and finally
by the lowest rated (or non-rated) class, which is known as the equity tranche. Similar in structure to a collateralized mortgage obligation
(described above) CDOs are unique in that they represent different types of debt and credit risk.
Collateralized
Loan Obligations (CLOs). CLOs are debt instruments backed solely
by a pool of other debt securities. The risks of an investment in a CLO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the
class of the CLO in which a Fund invests. Some CLOs have credit ratings, but are typically issued in various classes with various priorities.
Normally, CLOs are privately offered and sold (that is, they are not registered under the securities laws) and may be characterized by
a Fund as illiquid investments; however, an active dealer market may exist for CLOs that qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition
to the normal interest rate, default and other risks of fixed income securities, CLOs carry additional risks, including the possibility
that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may
decline in value or default a Fund may invest in CLOs that are subordinate to other classes, values may be volatile, and disputes with
the issuer may produce unexpected investment results.
Credit
Linked Notes (CLNs). A CLN is a security structured and issued
by an issuer, which may be a bank, broker or special purpose vehicle. If a CLN is issued by a special purpose vehicle, the special purpose
vehicle will typically be collateralized by AAA-rated securities, but some CLNs are not collateralized. The performance and payment of
principal and interest is tied to that of a reference obligation which may be a particular security, basket of securities, credit default
swap, basket of credit default swaps, or index. The reference obligation may be denominated in foreign currencies. Risks of CLNs include
those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including, but not limited to, market risk, interest rate risk, credit
risk, default risk and foreign currency risk. In the case of a CLN created with credit default swaps, the structure will be “funded”
such that the par amount of the security will represent the maximum loss that could be incurred on the investment and no leverage is introduced.
An investor in a CLN also bears counterparty risk or the risk that the issuer of the CLN will default or become bankrupt and not make
timely payments of principal and interest on the structured security. Should the issuer default or declare bankruptcy, the CLN holder
may not receive any compensation. In return for these risks, the CLN holder receives a higher yield. As with most derivative instruments,
valuation of a CLN may be difficult due to the complexity of the security.
Bank
Instruments. Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing bank
deposits. Bank instruments include, but are not limited to, certificates of deposit, time deposits, and banker’s acceptances from
U.S. or foreign banks, as well as Eurodollar certificates of deposit (Eurodollar CDs) and Eurodollar time deposits of foreign branches
of domestic banks. Some certificates of deposit are negotiable interest-bearing instruments with a specific maturity issued by banks and
savings and loan institutions in exchange for the deposit of funds, and can typically be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity.
Other certificates of deposit, like time deposits, are non-negotiable receipts issued by a bank in exchange for the deposit of funds which
earns a specified rate of interest over a definite period of time; however, it cannot be traded in the secondary market. A banker’s
acceptance is a bill of exchange or time draft drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank.
An
investment in Eurodollar CDs or Eurodollar time deposits may involve some of the same risks that are described
for Foreign Securities.
Commercial
Instruments. Commercial instruments include commercial paper,
master notes and other short-term corporate instruments, that are denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies.
Commercial
instruments are a type of instrument issued by large banks and corporations to raise money to
meet their short-term debt obligations, and are only backed by the issuing bank or corporation’s promise to pay the face amount
on the maturity date specified on the note. Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial
paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Master notes are demand notes that permit the investment of fluctuating
amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet certain credit quality criteria. The interest
rate on a master note may fluctuate based on changes in specified interest rates or may be reset periodically according to a prescribed
formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary market in master demand notes, if such notes have a demand feature,
the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes are generally illiquid and
therefore typically subject to the Fund's percentage limitations for investments in illiquid investments. Commercial instruments may not
be registered with the SEC.
Synthetic
Municipal Instruments. Synthetic municipal instruments are instruments,
the value of and return on which are derived from underlying securities. Synthetic municipal instruments in which the Funds
may invest include tender option bonds, and fixed or variable rate
trust certificates. These types of instruments involve the deposit into a trust or custodial account of one or more long-term tax-exempt
bonds or notes (Underlying Bonds), and the sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust or custodial account to investors such
as the Fund. The trustee or custodian receives the long-term fixed rate interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate
holders fixed rates or short-term floating or variable interest rates which are reset periodically. A “tender option bond”
provides a certificate holder with the conditional right to sell its certificate to the sponsor or some designated third party at specified
intervals and receive the par value of the certificate plus accrued interest (a demand feature). A "fixed rate trust certificate" evidences
an interest
in
a trust entitling a certificate holder to fixed future interest and/or principal payments on the Underlying Bonds.
A “variable rate trust certificate” evidences an interest in a trust entitling the certificate holder to receive variable
rate interest based on prevailing short-term interest rates and also typically provides the certificate holder with the conditional demand
feature (the right to tender its certificate at par value plus accrued interest under certain conditions).
All
synthetic municipal instruments must meet the minimum quality standards for the Fund's investments and
must present minimal credit risks. In selecting synthetic municipal instruments for the Fund, Invesco considers the creditworthiness of
the issuer of the Underlying Bond, the sponsor and the party providing certificate holders with a conditional right to sell their certificates
at stated times and prices (a demand feature).
Typically,
a certificate holder cannot exercise the demand feature until the occurrence of certain conditions,
such as where the issuer of the Underlying Bond defaults on interest payments. Moreover, because synthetic municipal instruments involve
a trust or custodial account and a third party conditional demand feature, they involve complexities and potential risks that may not
be present where a municipal security is owned directly.
The
tax-exempt character of the interest paid to certificate holders is based on the assumption that the holders
have an ownership interest in the Underlying Bonds; however, the IRS has not issued a ruling addressing this issue. In the event the IRS
issues an adverse ruling or successfully litigates this issue, it is possible that the interest paid to the Fund on certain synthetic
municipal instruments would be deemed to be taxable. The Fund relies on opinions of special tax counsel on this ownership question and
opinions of bond counsel regarding the tax-exempt character of interest paid on the Underlying Bonds.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal Securities are typically debt obligations
of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and
instrumentalities, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities, is, at the
time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax. The issuers of municipal securities obtain funds for various public purposes, including
the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, highways, bridges, schools, hospitals, housing, mass transportation,
streets and water and sewer works. Other public purposes for which municipal securities may be issued include refunding outstanding obligations,
obtaining funds for general operating expenses and obtaining funds to lend to other public institutions and facilities.
Certain
types of municipal securities are issued to obtain funding for privately operated facilities. The credit
and quality of private activity debt securities are dependent on the private facility or user, who is responsible for the interest payment
and principal repayment.
The
two major classifications of Municipal Securities are bonds and notes. Municipal bonds are municipal debt
obligations in which the issuer is obligated to repay the original (or “principal”) payment amount on a certain maturity
date along with interest. A municipal bond’s maturity date (the date when the issuer of the bond repays the principal) may be years
in the future. Short-term bonds mature in one to three years, while long-term bonds usually do not mature for more than a decade. Notes
are short-term instruments which usually mature in less than two years. Most notes are general obligations of the issuing municipalities
or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. Municipal notes also include
tax, revenue notes and revenue and bond anticipation notes (discussed more fully below) of short maturity, generally less than three years,
which are issued to obtain temporary funds for various public purposes.
Municipal
debt securities may also be classified as general obligation or revenue obligations (or "special delegation
securities"). General obligation securities are secured by the issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of
principal and interest.
Revenue
debt obligations, such as revenue bonds and revenue notes, are usually payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise tax or other specific
revenue source but not from the general taxing power. The principal and
interest
payments for industrial development bonds or pollution control bonds are often the sole responsibility of
the industrial user and therefore may not be backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality. The interest paid on such bonds may
be exempt from federal income tax, although current federal tax laws place substantial limitations on the purposes and size of such issues.
Such obligations are considered to be Municipal Securities provided that the interest paid thereon, in the opinion of bond counsel, qualifies
as exempt from federal income tax. However, interest on municipal securities may give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)
liability for noncorporate taxpayers and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences. There is a risk that some or all of
the interest received by the Fund from tax-exempt municipal securities might become taxable as a result of tax law changes or determinations
of the IRS.
Another
type of revenue obligations is pre-refunded bonds, which are typically issued to refinance debt. In other
words, pre-refunded bonds result from the advance refunding of bonds that are not currently redeemable. The proceeds from the issue of
the lower yield and/or longer maturing pre-refunding bond will usually be used to purchase U.S. government obligations, such as U.S. Treasury
securities, which are held in an escrow account and used to pay interest and principal payments until the scheduled call date of the original
bond issue occurs. Like other fixed income securities, pre-refunded bonds are subject to interest rate, market, credit, and reinvestment
risks. However, because pre-refunded bonds are generally collateralized with U.S. government obligations, such pre-refunded bonds have
essentially the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. The Fund will treat such pre-refunded securities as investment-grade securities,
notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities may have a lower rating (such as a below-investment-grade rating) from one
or more rating agencies.
Within
these principal classifications of municipal securities, there are a variety of types of municipal securities,
including but not limited to, fixed and variable rate securities, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, participation
certificates, inverse floating rate securities, and derivative municipal securities.
After
purchase by the Fund, an issue of Municipal Securities may cease to be rated by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc. (Moody's) or S&P Global Ratings Services (S&P), or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO),
or the rating of such a security may be reduced below the minimum credit quality rating required for purchase by the Fund. Neither event
would require the Fund to dispose of the security. To the extent that the ratings applied by Moody’s, S&P or another NRSRO
to Municipal Securities may change as a result of changes in these rating systems, the Fund will attempt to use comparable credit quality
ratings as standards for its investments in Municipal Securities.
The
yields on Municipal Securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including general economic and monetary
conditions, money market factors, conditions of the Municipal Securities market, size of a particular offering, and maturity and rating
of the obligation. Because many Municipal Securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those related to education, health
care, transportation and various utilities, conditions in those sectors and the financial condition of an individual municipal issuer
can affect the overall municipal market. The market values of the Municipal Securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in
the yields available on similar securities. If yields increase following the purchase of a Municipal Security, the market value of such
Municipal Security will generally decrease. Conversely, if yields decrease, the market value of a Municipal Security will generally increase.
The ratings of S&P and Moody’s represent their opinions of the quality of the municipal securities they undertake to rate.
It should be emphasized, however, that ratings are general and are not absolute standards of quality. Consequently, municipal securities
with the same maturity, coupon and rating may have different yields while municipal securities of the same maturity and coupon with different
ratings may have the same yield.
Certain
of the municipal securities in which the Fund may invest represent relatively recent innovations in the
municipal securities markets and the markets for such securities may be less developed than the market for conventional fixed rate municipal
securities.
Under
normal market conditions, longer-term municipal securities generally provide a higher yield than shorter-term
municipal securities. The Fund has no limitation as to the maturity of municipal securities in
which
it may invest. The Adviser may adjust the average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio from time to time depending
on its assessment of the relative yields available on securities of different maturities and its expectations of future changes in interest
rates.
The
net asset value of the Fund will change with changes in the value of its portfolio securities. With fixed income
municipal securities, the net asset value of a Fund can be expected to change as general levels of interest rates fluctuate. When interest
rates decline, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed income securities generally can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest
rates rise, the value of a portfolio invested in fixed income securities generally can be expected to decline. The prices of longer term
municipal securities generally are more volatile with respect to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter term municipal securities.
Volatility may be greater during periods of general economic uncertainty.
Municipal
Securities, like other debt obligations, are subject to the credit risk of nonpayment. The ability of issuers
of municipal securities to make timely payments of interest and principal may be adversely impacted in general economic downturns and
as relative governmental cost burdens are allocated and reallocated among federal, state and local governmental units. Such nonpayment
would result in a reduction of income to the Fund, and could result in a reduction in the value of the municipal securities experiencing
nonpayment and a potential decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may incur expenses to work out or restructure
a distressed or defaulted security.
The
Fund may invest in Municipal Securities with credit enhancements such as letters of credit and municipal
bond insurance. The Fund may invest in Municipal Securities that are insured by financial insurance companies. Since a limited number
of entities provide such insurance, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its assets in securities insured by the same insurance company.
If the Fund invests in Municipal Securities backed by insurance companies and other financial institutions, changes in the financial condition
of these institutions could cause losses to the Fund and affect share price. Letters of credit are issued by a third party, usually a
bank, to enhance liquidity and ensure repayment of principal and any accrued interest if the underlying Municipal Bond should default.
These credit enhancements do not guarantee payments or repayments on the Municipal Securities and a downgrade in the credit enhancer could
affect the value of the Municipal Security.
If
the IRS determines that an issuer of a Municipal Security has not complied with applicable tax requirements,
interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there
could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on Municipal
Securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of Municipal Securities. For example, 2017 legislation
commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repeals the exclusion from gross income for interest on pre-refunded municipal securities
effective for such bonds issued after December 31, 2017.
Taxable
municipal securities are debt securities issued by or on behalf of states and their political subdivisions,
the District of Columbia, and possessions of the United States, the interest on which is not exempt from federal income tax. Taxable investments
include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary
defensive purposes.
At
times, in connection with the restructuring of a municipal bond issuer either outside of bankruptcy court in
a negotiated workout or in the context of bankruptcy proceedings, the Fund may determine or be required to accept equity or taxable debt
securities, or the underlying collateral (which may include real estate or loans) from the issuer in exchange for all or a portion of
the Fund’s holdings in the municipal security. Although the Adviser will attempt to sell those assets as soon as reasonably practicable
in most cases, depending upon, among other things, the Adviser’s valuation of the potential value of such assets in relation to
the price that could be obtained by the Fund at any given time upon sale thereof, the Fund may determine to hold such securities or assets
in its portfolio for limited period of time in order to liquidate the assets in a manner that maximizes their value to the Fund.
Municipal
Securities also include the following securities:
•
Bond
Anticipation Notes usually are general obligations of state and local governmental issuers
which
are sold to obtain interim financing for projects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obligations or bonds.
•
Revenue
Anticipation Debt Securities, including bonds, notes, and certificates, are issued by governments or governmental bodies with the expectation
that future revenues from a designated source will be used to repay the securities. In general, they also constitute general obligations
of the issuer.
•
Tax
Anticipation Notes are issued by state and local governments to finance the current operations of such governments. Repayment is generally
to be derived from specific future tax revenues.
•
Tax-Exempt
Commercial Paper (Municipal Paper) is similar to taxable commercial paper, except that tax-exempt commercial paper is issued by states,
municipalities and their agencies.
•
Tax-Exempt
Mandatory Paydown Securities (TEMPS) are fixed rate term bonds carrying a short-term maturity, usually three to four years beyond the
expected redemption. TEMPS are structured as bullet repayments, with required optional redemptions as entrance fees are collected.
•
Zero
Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Securities do not immediately produce cash income. These securities are issued at an original issue discount, with
the full value, including accrued interest, paid at maturity. Interest income may be reportable annually, even though no annual payments
are made. Market prices of zero coupon bonds tend to be more volatile than bonds that pay interest regularly. Pay-in-kind securities are
securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities. Upon maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the aggregate
par value of the securities. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity
in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices
on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates
and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Special
tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
•
Capital
Appreciation Bonds are municipal securities in which the investment return on the initial principal payment is reinvested at a compounded
rate until the bond matures. The principal and interest are due on maturity. Thus, like zero coupon securities, investors must wait until
maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit risks.
•
Payments
in lieu of taxes (also known as PILOTs) are voluntary payments by, for instance the U.S. government or nonprofits, to local governments
that help offset losses in or otherwise serve as a substitute for property taxes.
•
Converted
Auction Rate Securities (CARS) are a structure that combines the debt service deferral feature of Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABS) with
Auction Rate Securities. The CARS pay no debt service until a specific date, then they incrementally convert to conventional Auction Rate
Securities. At each conversion date the issuer has the ability to call and pay down any amount of the CARS.
Some
bonds may be “callable,” allowing the issuer to redeem them before their maturity date. To protect bondholders,
callable bonds may be issued with provisions that prevent them from being called for a period of time. Typically, that is 5 to 10 years
from the issuance date. When interest rates decline, if the call protection on a bond has expired, it is more likely that the issuer may
call the bond. If that occurs, the Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds of the called bond in investments that pay a lower rate of
return, which could reduce the Fund’s yield.
Inverse
Floating Rate Obligations. Inverse floating rate obligations are
variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. Because the
interest rate paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined
fixed rate, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase
as such variable or floating rate decreases. The inverse floating rate
obligations
in which the Fund may invest include residual interest bonds, tender
option bonds (TOBs) or municipal bond trust certificates. Such instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust (the TOB Trust)
that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are sold by a Fund to the TOB Trust (the “underlying security”), and that in
turns sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to or held by third party investors
(Floaters), and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund (Residuals). The Floaters have first priority on
the cash flow from the underlying security held by the TOB Trust,
have a tender option feature that allows holders to tender the
Floaters back to the TOB Trust for their par value at specified intervals and bear interest at prevailing short-term interest rates. The
Fund (as holder of the Residuals) is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the TOB Trust. As such, the Residuals provide
the Fund with leveraged exposure to the underlying security. Like most other fixed-income securities, the value of Residuals will decrease
as interest rates increase. They are more volatile, however, than most other fixed-income securities because the value of a Residual typically
changes at a multiple of the change in the value of the underlying security. Thus, any increase in interest rates causes a correspondingly
greater drop in the value of a Residual while a drop in interest rates causes a correspondingly greater increase in the value of a Residual.
Inverse floating rate obligations tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend
to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate obligations
have varying degrees of liquidity.
The
primary risks associated with Residuals are varying degrees of
liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities
having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile
than if it had not invested in the Residuals. In certain instances, the Floaters created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be sold to
third parties or, in the case of holders tendering such Floaters for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third
parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust may be collapsed, with the underlying security
(or a portion thereof)
sold by the TOB Trust to pay such holders, and the Fund may be
required to repay the principal amount of the tendered Floaters
not fully redeemed by the liquidation proceeds (which may require
the Fund to sell other portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation). The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of market
volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause a Fund to lose more money than the amount it
has invested in the Residual, and
greater levels of leverage create the potential for greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the
liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain Residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to
reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the collapse
of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event. The reimbursement agreement will effectively make the Fund liable for the amount
of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the Floaters issued
by the TOB Trust.
Final
rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
“Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’
investments in, and relationships with, “covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities
and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing certain services to TOB Trusts, which constitute covered funds under the Volcker
Rule. A new TOB structure is being utilized by a Fund wherein the Fund, as holder of the Residuals, will perform certain duties previously
performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may alternatively be performed by a non-bank third-party
service provider. A Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB structure may increase its operational and regulatory risk. The new
structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be
able to repurchase tendered Floaters for its own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity
serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered Floaters. The TOB Trust, not a Fund,
would be the borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However,
as previously described, a Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement
agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further,
the SEC and various banking agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements
for asset-backed securities (the Risk Retention Rules), which apply to TOB Trusts. The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB
Trust, which
is deemed to be the Fund, to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the underlying security held by the TOB Trust. As applicable, the
Fund has adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Fund's ability
to engage in TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There
can be no assurances that the new TOB structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further,
there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage.
Any alternative forms of leverage may be less advantageous to a Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution
rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
Municipal
Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are issued by state
and local governments or authorities to finance the acquisition of land, equipment and facilities, such as state and municipal vehicles,
telecommunications and computer equipment, and other capital assets. Municipal lease obligations, a type of Municipal Security,
may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase contract or a conditional sales contract. Interest payments on qualifying municipal
lease obligations are generally exempt from federal income taxes.
Municipal
lease obligations are generally subject to greater risks than general obligation or revenue bonds.
State laws set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet in order to issue municipal obligations, and such obligations
may contain a covenant by the issuer to budget for, appropriate, and make payments due under the obligation. However, certain municipal
lease obligations may contain "non-appropriation" clauses which provide that the issuer is not obligated to make payments on the obligation
in future years unless funds have been appropriated for this purpose each year. If not enough money is appropriated to make the lease
payments, the leased property may be repossessed as security for holders of the municipal lease obligation. In such an event, there is
no assurance that the property's private sector or re-leasing value will be enough to make all outstanding payments on the municipal lease
obligation or that the payments will continue to be tax-free. Additionally, it may be difficult to dispose of the underlying capital asset
in the event of non-appropriation or other default. Direct investments by the Fund in municipal lease obligations may be deemed illiquid
and therefore subject to the Fund's percentage limitations for illiquid investments and the risks of holding illiquid investments.
Municipal
Forward Contracts. A municipal forward contract is an agreement
by a Fund to purchase a Municipal Security on a when-issued basis with a longer-than-standard settlement period, in some cases with the
settlement date taking place up to five years from the date of purchase. Municipal forward contracts typically carry a substantial yield
premium to compensate the buyer for the risks associated with a long when-issued period, including shifts in market interest rates that
could materially impact the principal value of the bond, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer, loss of alternative investment
options during the when-issued period and failure of the issuer to complete various steps required to issue the bonds.
Investment
Grade Debt Obligations. Debt obligations include, among others,
bonds, notes, debentures or variable rate demand notes. They may be in U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations issued or guaranteed by
U.S. corporations or U.S. commercial banks, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers or debt obligations of foreign
issuers denominated in foreign currencies.
The
Adviser considers investment grade securities to include: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or
Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) short-term securities with comparable NRSRO ratings, or
(iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The descriptions of debt
securities ratings are found in Appendix A.
In
choosing corporate debt securities on behalf of the Fund, portfolio managers may consider:
i.
general
economic and financial conditions;
ii.
the
specific issuer’s (a) business and management, (b) cash flow, (c) earnings coverage of interest and dividends, (d) ability to operate
under adverse economic conditions, (e) fair market value of assets, and (f) in the case of foreign issuers, unique political, economic
or social conditions applicable to such issuer’s country; and,
iii.
other
considerations deemed appropriate.
Debt
securities are subject to a variety of risks, such as interest rate risk, income risk, prepayment risk, inflation
risk, credit risk, currency risk and default risk.
Non-Investment
Grade Debt Obligations (Junk Bonds). Bonds rated below or determined
to be below investment grade (as defined above in “Investment Grade Debt Obligations”) are commonly referred to as “junk
bonds.” Analysis of the creditworthiness of junk bond issuers is more complex than that of investment-grade issuers and the success
of a Fund’s adviser in managing these decisions is more dependent upon its own credit analysis than is the case with investment-grade
bonds.
The
capacity of junk bonds to pay interest and repay principal is considered speculative. While junk bonds may
provide an opportunity for greater income and gains, they are subject to greater risks than higher-rated debt securities. The prices of
and yields on junk bonds may fluctuate to a greater extent than those of higher-rated debt securities. Junk bonds are generally more sensitive
to individual issuer developments, economic conditions and regulatory changes than higher-rated bonds. Issuers of junk bonds are often
smaller, less-seasoned companies or companies that are highly leveraged with more traditional methods of financing unavailable to them.
Junk bonds are generally at a higher risk of default because such issues are often unsecured or otherwise subordinated to claims of the
issuer’s other creditors. If a junk bond issuer defaults, the Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. The secondary
markets in which junk bonds are traded may be thin and less liquid than the market for higher-rated debt securities and the Fund may have
difficulty selling certain junk bonds at the desired time and price. Less liquidity in secondary trading markets could adversely affect
the price at which the Fund could sell a particular junk bond, and could cause large fluctuations in the net asset value of that Fund’s
shares. The lack of a liquid secondary market may also make it more difficult for the Fund to obtain accurate market quotations in valuing
junk bond assets and elements of judgment may play a greater role in the valuation.
Loans,
Loan Participations and Assignments. Loans and loan participations
are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental or other borrowers to another party. They may represent amounts owed to lenders
or lending syndicates, to suppliers of goods or services, or to other parties. The Fund will have the right to receive payments of principal,
interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the
payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance
by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and a Fund
may not directly benefit from any collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation. In addition, the Fund's
rights to consent to modifications of the loan are limited and it is dependent upon the participating lender to enforce the Fund's
rights upon a default. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of the borrower, the lender, and the agent who
is responsible for collection of principal and interest and fee payments from the borrower and apportioning those payments to all lenders
who are parties to the loan agreement. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a participation, the Fund may be treated as
a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower. Credit risks relating to the
agent may include delay in receiving payments of principal and interest paid by the borrower to the agent. In the event of the borrower's
bankruptcy, the borrower's obligation to repay the loan may be subject to defenses that the borrower can assert as a result of improper
conduct by the agent.
When
the Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan.
However, because assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights
and obligations acquired by a Fund as the purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning
lender. In addition, if the loan is foreclosed, a Fund could be part owner of any collateral and could bear the costs and liabilities
of owning and disposing of the collateral.
Investments
in loans, loan participations and assignments present the possibility that a Fund could be held
liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of lender liability. The Fund anticipates that loans, loan participations and assignments
could be sold only to a limited number of institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a loan, it may be more difficult
to sell the interests in such a loan at a price that is acceptable or to even obtain pricing information. In addition, some loans, loan
participations and assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies. Loans held by the Fund might not be considered securities for
purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act), or the Exchange Act and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such
as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud provisions of those Acts.
The
secondary market for certain floating rate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask
spreads and extended trade settlement periods (in some cases, longer than seven days).
Floating
Rate Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities. Floating rate
loans consist generally of obligations of companies and other entities (collectively, borrowers) incurred for the purpose of reorganizing
the assets and liabilities of a borrower; acquiring another company; taking over control of a company (leveraged buyout); temporary refinancing;
or financing internal growth or other general business purposes. Floating rate loans are often obligations of borrowers who have incurred
a significant percentage of debt compared to equity issued and thus are highly leveraged.
Floating
rate loans may include both term loans, which are generally fully funded at the time of the Fund’s investment,
and revolving loans, which may require the Fund to make additional investments in the loans as required under the terms of the loan agreement.
A revolving credit loan agreement may require the Fund to increase its investment in a loan at a time when the Fund might not otherwise
have done so, even if the borrower’s condition makes it unlikely that the loan will be repaid.
A
floating rate loan is generally offered as part of a lending syndicate to banks and other financial institutions
and is administered in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement by an agent bank who is responsible for collection of principal
and interest and fee payments from the borrower and apportioning those payments to all lenders who are parties to the agreement. Typically,
the agent is given broad discretion to enforce the loan agreement and is compensated by the borrower for its services.
Floating
rate loans may be acquired by direct investment as a lender at the inception of the loan or by assignment
of a portion of a floating rate loan previously made to a different lender or by purchase of a participation interest. If the Fund makes
a direct investment in a loan as one of the lenders, it generally acquires the loan at par. This means the Fund receives a return at the
full interest rate for the loan. If the Fund acquires its interest in loans in the secondary market or acquires a participation interest,
the loans may be purchased or sold above, at, or below par, which can result in a yield that is below, equal to, or above the stated interest
rate of the loan. At times, the Fund may be able to invest in floating rate loans only through assignments or participations.
A
participation interest represents a fractional interest in a floating rate loan held by the lender selling the Fund
the participation interest. In the case of participations, the Fund will not have any direct contractual relationship with the borrower,
the Fund’s rights to consent to modifications of the loan are limited and it is dependent upon the participating lender to enforce
the Fund’s rights upon a default.
The
Fund may be subject to the credit of both the agent and the lender from whom the Fund acquires a participation
interest. These credit risks may include delay in receiving payments of principal and interest paid by the borrower to the agent or, in
the case of a participation, offsets by the lender's regulator against payments received from the borrower. In the event of the borrower's
bankruptcy, the borrower's obligation to repay the floating rate loan may be subject to defenses that the borrower can assert as a result
of improper conduct by the agent.
Although
loan investments are generally subject to certain restrictive covenants in favor of the investor, many
of the loans in which a Fund may invest may be issued or offered as “covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial
maintenance covenants. “Financial maintenance covenants” are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial
metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels of
cash
flow or limiting leverage. These covenants are included to permit the lender to monitor the borrower's performance
and declare an event of default if breached, allowing the lender to renegotiate the terms of the loan or take other actions intended to
help mitigate losses. Accordingly, a Fund may experience relatively greater difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings
of covenant lite loans than its holdings of loans or securities with financial maintenance covenants, which may result in losses to the
Fund, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle. Although covenant lite loans contain few or no financial maintenance covenants,
information necessary to monitor a borrower's financial performance may be available without covenants to lenders and the public alike,
and can be used to detect such early warning signs as deterioration of a borrower's financial condition or results. When such information
is available, the Adviser will seek to take appropriate actions without the help of covenants in the loans.
Historically,
floating rate loans have not been registered with the SEC or any state securities commission or
listed on any securities exchange. As a result, the amount of public information available about a specific floating rate loan has been
historically less extensive than if the floating rate loan were registered or exchange traded.
Floating
rate debt securities are typically in the form of notes or bonds issued in public or private placements
in the securities markets. Floating rate debt securities will typically have substantially similar terms to floating rate loans, but will
not be in the form of participations or assignments.
The
floating rate loans and debt securities in which the Fund invests will, in most instances, be secured and
senior to other indebtedness of the borrower. Each floating rate loan and debt security will generally be secured by collateral such as
accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate, intangible assets such as trademarks, copyrights and patents, and securities of
subsidiaries or affiliates. The value of the collateral generally will be determined by reference to financial statements of the borrower,
by an independent appraisal, by obtaining the market value of such collateral, in the case of cash or securities if readily ascertainable,
or by other customary valuation techniques considered appropriate by Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers. The value of collateral may decline
after the Fund’s investment, and collateral may be difficult to sell in the event of default. Consequently, the Fund may not receive
all the payments to which it is entitled. The Fund’s assets may be invested in unsecured floating rate loans and debt securities
or subordinated floating rate loans and debt securities, which may or may not be secured. If the borrower defaults on an unsecured loan
or security, there is no specific collateral on which the lender can foreclose. If the borrower defaults on a subordinated loan or security,
the collateral may not be sufficient to cover both the senior and subordinated loans and securities.
Most
borrowers pay their debts from cash flow generated by their businesses. If a borrower’s cash flow is insufficient
to pay its debts, it may attempt to restructure its debts rather than sell collateral. Borrowers may try to restructure their debts by
filing for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws or negotiating a work-out. If a borrower becomes involved in a bankruptcy proceeding,
access to collateral may be limited by bankruptcy and other laws. If a court decides that access to collateral is limited or voidable,
the Fund may not recover the full amount of principal and interest that is due.
A
borrower must comply with certain restrictive covenants contained in the loan agreement or indenture (in
the case of floating rate debt securities). In addition to requiring the scheduled payment of principal and interest, these covenants
may include restrictions on the payment of dividends and other distributions to the borrower’s shareholders, provisions requiring
compliance with specific financial ratios, and limits on total indebtedness. The agreement may also require the prepayment of the floating
rate loans or debt securities from excess cash flow. A breach of a covenant that is not waived by the agent (or lenders directly) is normally
an event of default, which provides the agent and lenders the right to call for repayment of the outstanding floating rate loan or debt
security.
Purchasers
of floating rate loans may receive and/or pay certain fees. These fees are in addition to interest
payments and may include commitment fees, facility fees, and prepayment penalty fees. When a Fund buys a floating rate loan, it may receive
a facility fee, and when it sells a floating rate loan, it may pay an assignment fee.
It
is expected that the majority of floating rate loans and debt securities will have stated maturities of three to
ten years. However, because floating rate loans and debt securities are frequently prepaid, it is expected that the average maturity will
be three to five years. The degree to which borrowers prepay floating rate loans and debt securities, whether as a contractual requirement
or at the borrower’s election, may be affected by general business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition and competitive
conditions among lenders. Prepayments cannot be predicted with accuracy. Prepayments may result in a Fund’s investing in floating
rate loans and debt securities with lower yields.
Public
Bank Loans. Public bank loans are privately negotiated loans for
which information about the issuer has been made publicly available. Public loans are made by banks or other financial institutions, and
may be rated investment grade (as defined above in “Investment Grade Debt Obligations”) or below investment grade. However,
public bank loans are not registered under the 1933 Act and are not publicly traded. They usually are second lien loans normally lower
in priority of payment to senior loans, but have seniority in a company’s capital structure to other claims, such as subordinated
corporate bonds or publicly-issued equity so that in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation, the company is required to pay down these
second lien loans prior to such other lower-ranked claims on their assets. Bank loans normally pay floating rates that reset frequently,
and as a result, protect investors from increases in interest rates.
Bank
loans generally are negotiated between a borrower and several financial institutional lenders represented
by one or more lenders acting as agent of all the lenders. The agent is responsible for negotiating the loan agreement that establishes
the terms and conditions of the loan and the rights of the borrower and the lenders, monitoring any collateral, and collecting principal
and interest on the loan. By investing in a loan, the Fund becomes a member of a syndicate of lenders. Certain bank loans are illiquid,
meaning the Fund may not be able to sell them quickly at a fair price. Illiquid investments are also difficult to value. To the extent
a bank loan has been deemed illiquid, it will be subject to the Fund’s restrictions on illiquid investments. The secondary market
for bank loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.
Bank
loans are subject to the risk of default. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result
in a reduction of income to the Fund, a reduction in the value of the loan, and a potential decrease in the Fund’s net asset value.
The risk of default will increase in the event of an economic downturn or a substantial increase in interest rates. Bank loans are subject
to the risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments.
As discussed above, however, because bank loans reside higher in the capital structure than high yield bonds, default losses have been
historically lower in the bank loan market. Bank loans that are rated below investment grade share the same risks of other below investment
grade securities.
Structured
Notes and Indexed Securities. Structured notes are derivative debt
instruments, the interest rate or principal of which is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial
indicators (reference instruments). Indexed securities may include structured notes and other securities wherein the interest rate or
principal is determined by a reference instrument.
Most
structured notes and indexed securities are fixed income securities that have maturities of three years
or less. The interest rate or the principal amount payable at maturity of an indexed security may vary based on changes in one or more
specified reference instruments, such as a floating interest rate compared with a fixed interest rate. The reference instrument need not
be related to the terms of the indexed security. Structured notes and indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e.,
their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates), and may have return
characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument or to one or more options on the underlying reference
instrument.
Structured
notes and indexed securities may entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt
securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instrument. Structured notes or indexed securities also may be more volatile,
less liquid, and more difficult to accurately price than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities.
In addition to the credit risk of the structured note or indexed security’s issuer and the normal risks of price changes in response
to changes in interest
rates,
the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the
value of the underlying reference instruments. Further, in the case of certain structured notes or indexed securities in which the interest
rate, or exchange rate in the case of currency, is linked to a reference instrument, the rate may be increased or decreased or the terms
may provide that, under certain circumstances, the principal amount payable on maturity may be reduced to zero resulting in a loss to
the Fund.
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Securities. The Fund may invest in senior
secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt instruments made to or issued by borrowers (which may include U.S. and
non-U.S. companies) that (i) have variable rates which adjust to a base rate, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), on set dates,
typically every 30 days but not to exceed one year; and/or (ii) have interest rates that float at a margin above a generally recognized
base lending rate such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.
U.S.
Corporate Debt Obligations. Corporate debt obligations are debt
obligations issued or guaranteed by corporations that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Such investments may include, among others, commercial
paper, bonds, notes, debentures, variable rate demand notes, master notes, funding agreements and other short-term corporate instruments.
Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper may be traded in the secondary market
after its issuance. Variable rate demand notes are securities with a variable interest which is readjusted on pre-established dates. Variable
rate demand notes are subject to payment of principal and accrued interest (usually within seven days) on the Fund’s demand. Master
notes are negotiated notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements
with issuers who meet the credit quality criteria of the Fund. The interest rate on a master note may fluctuate based upon changes in
specified interest rates or be reset periodically according to a prescribed formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary
market in master notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively
short notice. Funding agreements are agreements between an insurance company and the Fund covering underlying demand notes. Although there
is no secondary market in funding agreements, if the underlying notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal
amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes and funding agreements are generally illiquid and therefore subject to the
Fund's percentage limitation for illiquid investments.
Regulation
S Securities. Regulation S securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers
are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the 1933 Act. Offerings of Regulation
S securities may be conducted outside of the United States, and Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal
or contractual restrictions on resale. Although Regulation S securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the price
realized from these sales could be less than the originally paid by a Fund. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded
may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly
traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.
Other
Investments
Real
Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs are trusts that sell equity
or debt securities to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interest therein. A REIT may focus on particular projects,
such as apartment complexes, or geographic regions, such as the southeastern United States or both. Equity REITs invest the majority of
their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital
gains by selling property that has appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and
derive income from the collection of interest payments.
Investments
in REITs may be subject to many of the same risks as direct investments in real estate. These
risks include difficulties in valuing and trading real estate, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local
economic conditions, adverse changes in the climate for real estate,
environmental
liability risks, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty
or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of properties to tenants, heavy cash flow dependency
and increases in interest rates. To the extent that the Fund invests in REITs, the Fund could conceivably acquire real estate directly
as a result of a default on the REIT interests or obligations it owns.
In
addition to the risks of direct real estate investment described above, equity REITs may be affected by any
changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit
extended. REITs are also subject to the following risks: they are dependent upon management skill and on cash flows; are not diversified;
are subject to defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to maintain an exemption from the 1940 Act; and
are subject to interest rate risk. To the extent that it invests in REITs , the Fund will bear a proportionate share of the expenses of
the REITs.
Furthermore,
for tax reasons, a REIT may impose limits on how much of its securities any one investor may
own. These ownership limitations (also called “excess share provisions”) may be based on ownership of securities by multiple
funds and accounts managed by the same investment adviser and typically result in adverse consequences (such as automatic divesture of
voting and dividend rights for shares that exceed the excess share provision) to investors who exceed the limit. A REIT’s excess
share provision may result in the Fund being unable to purchase (or otherwise obtain economic exposure to) the desired amounts of certain
REITs. In some circumstances, the Fund may seek and obtain a waiver from a REIT to exceed the REIT’s ownership limitations without
being subject to the adverse consequences of exceeding such limit were a waiver not obtained, provided that the Fund complies with the
provisions of the waiver.
Initial
Public Offerings. IPOs
of securities issued by unseasoned companies with
little or no operating history are risky and their prices are highly
volatile, but they can result in very large gains in their initial trading. Attractive IPOs are often oversubscribed and may
not be available to the Fund, or only in very limited quantities.
Thus, when the Fund’s size is smaller,
any gains from IPOs will have an exaggerated impact on the Fund’s
reported performance than
when the Fund is larger. The
Fund may engage in short-term trading in connection with its IPO investments, which could produce higher trading costs and adverse tax
consequences. There
can be no assurance that the
Fund will have favorable IPO investment opportunities.
Other
Investment Companies.
Unless otherwise indicated in this SAI or in a Fund’s prospectus,
a Fund may purchase shares of other investment companies, including
exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”), non-exchange
traded U.S. registered open-end investment companies (mutual funds), closed-end investment companies, or non-U.S. investment companies
traded on foreign exchanges. When a Fund purchases shares of another investment company, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate
share of the advisory fees and other operating expenses of such investment company and will be subject to the risks associated with the
portfolio investments of the underlying investment company.
A
Fund’s investment in the securities of other investment companies is subject to the applicable provisions
of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. Specifically, Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act contains various limitations on the ability of
a registered investment company (an “acquiring fund”) to acquire shares of another registered investment company (an “acquired
fund”). Under these limits, an acquiring fund generally cannot (i) purchase more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock
of an acquired fund;
(ii) invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by an acquired company; and (iii) invest more than 10% of its total
assets in securities issued by other investment companies. Likewise, an acquired fund, as well as its principal underwriter or any broker
or dealer registered under the Exchange Act, cannot knowingly sell more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of the acquired
fund to an acquiring fund, or more than 10% of the total outstanding voting stock of the acquired fund to acquiring funds generally.
Rule
12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, which became effective
January 19, 2022, created a regulatory framework for funds’ investments in other funds. Rule 12d1-4 allows a fund to acquire the
securities of another investment company in excess of the limitations imposed by Section 12 without obtaining an exemptive order from
the SEC, subject to certain limitations and conditions.
Among those conditions is the requirement that,
prior to a fund relying on Rule 12d1-4 to acquire securities of
another fund in excess of the
limits
of Section 12(d)(1), the acquiring fund must enter into a Fund of Funds Agreement with the acquired fund.
(This requirement does not apply when the acquiring fund’s investment adviser acts as the acquired fund’s investment adviser
and does not act as
sub-adviser to either fund.)
Rule
12d1-4 also is designed to limit the use of complex fund structures. Under Rule 12d1-4, an acquired fund
is prohibited from purchasing or otherwise acquiring the securities of another investment company or private fund if, immediately after
the purchase, the securities of investment companies and private funds owned by the acquired fund have an aggregate value in excess of
10% of the value of the acquired fund’s total assets, subject to certain limited exceptions. Accordingly, to the extent a Fund’s
shares are sold to other investment companies in reliance on Rule 12d1-4, the Fund will be limited in the amount it could invest in other
investment companies and private funds.
In
addition to Rule 12d1-4, the 1940 Act and related rules provide other exemptions from these restrictions.
For example, these limitations do not apply to investments by a Fund in investment companies that are money market funds, including money
market funds that have the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser as an investment adviser.
Limited
Partnerships. A limited partnership interest entitles the Fund
to participate in the investment return of the partnership’s assets as defined by the agreement among the partners. As a limited
partner, the Fund generally is not permitted to participate in the management of the partnership. However, unlike a general partner whose
liability is not limited, a limited partner’s liability generally is limited to the amount of its commitment to the partnership.
Master
Limited Partnerships (MLPs). MLPs generally are limited partnerships
(or limited liability companies), the common units of which are listed and traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter.
MLPs generally have two classes of partners, the general partner and the limited partners. The general partner normally controls the MLP
through an equity interest plus units that are subordinated to the common (publicly traded) units for an initial period and then only
converting to common if certain financial tests are met. The general partner also generally receives a larger portion of the net income
as incentive. As cash flow grows, the general partner receives a greater interest in the incremental income compared to the interest of
limited partners.
MLP
common units represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership, providing limited voting rights and
entitling the holder to a share of the company’s success through distributions and/or capital appreciation. Unlike shareholders
of a corporation, common unit holders do not elect directors annually and generally have the right to vote only on certain significant
events, such as mergers, a sale of substantially all of the assets, removal of the general partner or material amendments to the partnership
agreement. MLPs are required by their partnership agreements to distribute a large percentage of their current operating earnings. Common
unit holders generally have first right to a minimum quarterly distribution (MQD) prior to distributions to the convertible subordinated
unit holders or the general partner (including incentive distributions). Common unit holders typically have arrearage rights if the MQD
is not met. In the event of liquidation, MLP common unit holders have first right to the partnership’s remaining assets after bondholders,
other debt holders, and preferred unit holders have been paid in full.
The
general partner or managing member interest in an MLP is typically retained by the original sponsors of
an MLP, such as its founders, corporate partners and entities that sell assets to the MLP. The holder of the general partner or managing
member interest can be liable in certain circumstances for amounts greater than the amount of the holder’s investment in the general
partner or managing member. General partner or managing member interests often confer direct board participation rights in, and in many
cases control over the operations of, the MLP. General partner or managing member interests can be privately held or owned by publicly
traded entities. General partner or managing member interests receive cash distributions, typically in an amount of up to 2% of available
cash, which is contractually defined in the partnership or limited liability company agreement. In addition, holders of general partner
or managing member interests typically receive incentive distribution rights (IDRs), which provide them with an increasing share of the
entity’s aggregate cash distributions upon the payment of per common unit distributions that exceed specified threshold levels
above the MQD. Incentive distributions to a general partner are designed to encourage the general partner, who
controls
and operates the partnership, to maximize the partnership’s cash flow and increase distributions to the
limited partners. Due to the IDRs, general partners of MLPs have higher distribution growth prospects than their underlying MLPs, but
quarterly incentive distribution payments would also decline at a greater rate than the decline rate in quarterly distributions to common
and subordinated unit holders in the event of a reduction in the MLP’s quarterly distribution. The ability of the limited partners
or members to remove the general partner or managing member without cause is typically very limited. In addition, some MLPs permit the
holder of IDRs to reset, under specified circumstances, the incentive distribution levels and receive compensation in exchange for the
distribution rights given up in the reset.
Some
companies in which a Fund may invest have been organized as limited
liability companies (MLP LLCs). Such MLP LLCs generally are treated in the same manner as MLPs for federal income tax purposes (i.e.,
generally taxed as partnerships). MLP LLC common units trade on a national securities exchange or OTC. In contrast to MLPs, MLP LLCs have
no general partner and there are generally no incentives that entitle management or other unitholders to increased percentages of cash
distributions as distributions reach higher target levels. In addition, MLP LLC common unitholders typically have voting rights with respect
to the MLP LLC, whereas MLP common units have limited voting rights.
Investments
in securities of an MLP involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks
related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between
the MLP and the MLP’s general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner’s right
to require unit-holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. Certain MLP securities may trade in lower volumes
due to their smaller capitalizations, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and lower market liquidity. MLPs are
generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide
attractive returns.
There
are also certain tax risks undertaken by the Fund when it invests in MLPs. MLPs are generally treated
as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes subject to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Partnerships do not
pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level, subject to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Rather, each partner
is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change
in the underlying business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its taxable income.
This would have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the
value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund. Also, to the extent a distribution received by the Fund
from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which
may increase the Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect of
such interests.
Private
Equity and Debt Investments. Privately issued securities, which
include private investments in public equity (PIPEs), and private debt investments, involve an extraordinarily high degree of business
and financial risk and can result in substantial or complete losses. Some portfolio companies in which the Fund may invest may be operating
at a loss or with substantial variations in operating results from period to period and may need substantial additional capital to support
expansion or to achieve or maintain competitive positions. Such companies may face intense competition, including competition from companies
with much greater financial resources, much more extensive development, production, marketing and service capabilities and a much larger
number of qualified managerial and technical personnel. The Fund can offer no assurance that the marketing efforts of any particular portfolio
company will be successful or that its business will succeed. Additionally, privately held companies are not subject to SEC reporting
requirements or the reporting requirements of publicly traded companies in applicable jurisdictions, are not required to maintain their
accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and are not required to maintain effective internal controls
over financial reporting. As a result, the Adviser may not have timely or accurate information about the business, financial conditions
and results of operations of the privately held companies in which the Fund invests. The more limited financial information and lack of
publicly available
prices
require a Fund to determine a fair value for such investments in accordance with the valuation policy approved
by the Board and related procedures. Difficulty in valuing such investments may make it difficult to accurately determine a Fund's exposure
to privately issued securities. The Fund’s NAV could be adversely affected if the Fund’s determinations regarding the fair
value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such
investments. In addition, input from the Adviser’s investment professionals as part of the Fund’s valuation process could
result in a conflict of interest as the Adviser’s management fee is based, in part, on the value of the Fund’s assets.
Investments
in private companies may be considered to be illiquid and may be difficult to sell at a desirable
time or at the prices at which the Fund has valued the investments. Additional risks include that the Fund could be subject to contingent
liabilities in the event a private issuer is acquired by another company during the period it is held by the Fund; and that the company
may be using excessive leverage. Privately issued debt securities can often be below investment grade quality and frequently are unrated.
Private
Investments in Public Equity. Private investments in public equity
(PIPES) are equity securities in a private placement that are issued by issuers who have outstanding, publicly-traded equity securities
of the same class. Shares in PIPES generally are not registered with the SEC until after a certain time period from the date the private
sale is completed. This restricted period can last many months. Until the public registration process is completed, PIPES are restricted
as to resale and the Fund cannot freely trade the securities. Generally, such restrictions cause the PIPES to be illiquid during this
time. PIPES may contain provisions that the issuer will pay specified financial penalties to the holder if the issuer does not publicly
register the restricted equity securities within a specified period of time, but there is no assurance that the restricted equity securities
will be publicly registered, or that the registration will remain in effect.
Distressed
Debt Securities. Distressed debt securities are securities that
are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise in default or in risk of being in default as to the repayment of principal and/or
interest at the time of acquisition by a Fund or that are rated in the lower rating categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations (for example, Ca or lower by Moody’s and CC or lower by S&P or Fitch) or, if unrated, are in the judgment
of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser of equivalent quality (“Distressed Securities”). Investment in Distressed Securities is speculative
and involves significant risks. Each Fund will generally make such investments only when the Adviser or Sub-Adviser believes it is reasonably
likely that the issuer of the Distressed Securities will make an exchange offer or will be the subject of a plan of reorganization pursuant
to which a Fund will receive new securities in return for the Distressed Securities. However, there can be no assurance that such an exchange
offer will be made or that such a plan of reorganization will be adopted. Additionally, a significant period of time may pass between
the time at which a Fund makes its investment in Distressed Securities and the time that any such exchange offer or plan of reorganization
is completed, if at all. During this period, it is unlikely that a Fund would receive any interest payments on the Distressed Securities,
a Fund will be subject to significant uncertainty as to whether or not the exchange offer or plan of reorganization will be completed
and a Fund may be required to bear certain extraordinary expenses to protect and recover its investment. Therefore, a Fund’s ability
to achieve current income for its shareholders may be diminished. Each Fund also will be subject to significant uncertainty as to when
and in what manner and for what value the obligations evidenced by the distressed securities will eventually be satisfied (e.g., through
a liquidation of the obligor’s assets, an exchange offer or plan of reorganization involving the distressed securities or a payment
of some amount in satisfaction of the obligation). Even if an exchange offer is made or plan of reorganization is adopted with respect
to Distressed Securities held by a Fund, there can be no assurance that the securities or other assets received by the Fund in connection
with such exchange offer or plan of reorganization will not have a lower value or income potential than may have been anticipated when
the investment was made or no value. Moreover, any securities received by a Fund upon completion of an exchange offer or plan of reorganization
may be restricted as to resale. Similarly, if a Fund participates in negotiations with respect to any exchange offer or plan of reorganization
with respect to an issuer of Distressed Securities, a Fund may be restricted from disposing of such securities. To the extent that a Fund
becomes involved in such proceedings, the Fund may
have
a more active participation in the affairs of the issuer than that assumed generally by an investor. Each Fund,
however, will not make investments for the purpose of exercising day-to-day management of any issuer’s affairs.
Defaulted
Securities. Defaulted securities are debt securities on which the
issuer is not currently making interest payments. In order to enforce its rights in defaulted securities, a Fund may be required to participate
in legal proceedings or take possession of and manage assets securing the issuer’s obligations on the defaulted securities. This
could increase operating expenses and adversely affect net asset value. Risks of defaulted securities may be considerably higher as they
are generally unsecured and subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Investments in defaulted securities generally will also be
considered illiquid investments subject to the limitations described herein, except as otherwise may be determined under the Trust’s
applicable policies and procedures.
Variable
or Floating Rate Instruments. Variable or floating rate instruments
are securities that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the obligation. The interest rates for securities with
variable interest rates are readjusted on set dates (such as the last day of the month or calendar quarter) and the interest rates for
securities with floating rates are reset whenever a specified interest rate change occurs. Variable or floating interest rates generally
reduce changes in the market price of securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate
market rates. Accordingly, as market interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less
for variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable or floating interest rates have
a demand feature allowing the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued interest prior to its maturity. The terms of such demand
instruments require payment of principal and accrued interest by the issuer, a guarantor, and/or a liquidity provider. All variable or
floating rate instruments will meet the applicable rating standards of the Fund. The Fund’s Adviser, or Sub-Adviser, as applicable,
may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund’s rating standards by reason of being
backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those rating standards.
The
secondary market for certain floating rate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask
spreads and extended trade settlement periods (in some cases, longer than seven days). Certain floating rate loans held by the Fund
might not be considered securities for purposes of the Exchange Act and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such as the Fund, may
not be entitled to rely on the antifraud provisions of those Acts.
Zero
Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Securities. Zero coupon securities do not
pay interest or principal until final maturity, unlike debt securities that traditionally provide periodic payments of interest (referred
to as a coupon payment). Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal, which increases the interest rate and credit
risks of a zero coupon security. Pay-in-kind securities are securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities.
Upon maturity, the holder is entitled to receive the aggregate par value of the securities. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may
be subject to greater fluctuation in value and lower liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities
paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities at a price below
the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase price and the amount paid at maturity represents “original
issue discount” on the security.
Premium
Securities. Premium securities are securities bearing coupon rates
higher than the then prevailing market rates.
Premium
securities are typically purchased at a “premium,” in other words, at a price greater than the principal
amount payable on maturity. The Fund will not amortize the premium paid for such securities in calculating its net investment income.
As a result, in such cases the purchase of premium securities provides the Fund a higher level of investment income distributable to shareholders
on a current basis than if the Fund purchased securities bearing current market rates of interest. However, the yield on these securities
would remain at the current market rate. If securities purchased by the Fund at a premium are called or sold prior to maturity, the Fund
will realize a loss to the extent the call or sale price is less than the purchase price. Additionally, the Fund will realize a loss of
principal if it holds such securities to maturity.
Stripped
Income Securities. Stripped Income Securities are obligations representing
an interest in all or a portion of the income or principal components of an underlying or related security, a pool of securities, or other
assets. Stripped income securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives some interest and some principal. However, they
may be completely stripped, where one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only class or the IO class), while the other
class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only class or the PO class).
The
market values of stripped income securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest
rates than are conventional income securities. In the case of mortgage-backed stripped income securities, the yields to maturity of IOs
and POs may be very sensitive to principal repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages resulting in the Fund being
unable to recoup its initial investment or resulting in a less than anticipated yield. The market for stripped income securities may be
limited, making it difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price.
Privatizations.
The governments of certain foreign countries have, to varying degrees, embarked on privatization programs to sell part or all of their
interests in government owned or controlled companies or enterprises (privatizations). The Fund’s investments in such privatizations
may include: (i) privately negotiated investments in a government owned or controlled company or enterprise; (ii) investments in the initial
offering of equity securities of a government owned or controlled company or enterprise; and (iii) investments in the securities of a
government owned or controlled company or enterprise following its initial equity offering.
In
certain foreign countries, the ability of foreign entities such as the Fund to participate in privatizations may
be limited by local law, or the terms on which the Fund may be permitted to participate may be less advantageous than those for local
investors. There can be no assurance that foreign governments will continue to sell companies and enterprises currently owned or controlled
by them, that privatization programs will be successful, or that foreign governments will not re-nationalize companies or enterprises
that have been privatized. If large blocks of these enterprises are held by a small group of stockholders the sale of all or some portion
of these blocks could have an adverse effect on the price.
Participation
Notes. Participation notes, also known as participation certificates,
are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to replicate the performance of foreign companies or foreign securities markets
and can be used by the Fund as an alternative means to access the securities market of a country. Participation notes are generally traded
OTC. The performance results of participation notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the foreign company or foreign securities
market that they seek to replicate due to transaction and other expenses. Investments in participation notes involve the same risks associated
with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities market that they seek to replicate. In addition, participation
notes are subject to counterparty risk, currency risk and reinvestment risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank
that issues them will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. Participation notes constitute
general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, and the Fund is relying on the creditworthiness
of such banks or broker-dealers and has no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying assets. Additionally,
there is a currency risk since the dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates
between the dollar and (a) the currencies in which the notes are denominated, such as euro denominated participation notes, and (b) the
currency of the country in which the foreign company sits. Also, there is a reinvestment risk because the amounts from the note may be
reinvested in a less valuable investment when the note matures.
Investment
Techniques
Forward
Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. The Fund
may purchase and sell securities on a forward commitment when-issued and delayed delivery basis whereby the Fund buys or sells a security
with payment and delivery taking place in the future. Securities purchased or sold on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed
delivery basis involve delivery and payment that take place in the future after the trade date or the date of the commitment to purchase
or sell the securities at a pre-determined price and/or yield. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs a month or more after the
purchase
or sale commitment is made. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.
Forward commitments include “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are contracts for the purchase and sale of mortgage-backed
securities issued or guaranteed by certain U.S.
agencies or government sponsored enterprises for delivery at a
future settlement
date agreed upon by the two parties
to the transaction, which is typically a month or more after the trade date of the transaction.
On
the trade date of a TBA transaction, the counterparties agree upon
certain criteria for the securities that are to be delivered, including the issuer, maturity, coupon, face value and price, but the precise
securities to be delivered are not specified.
Instead,
the actual securities to be delivered,
which must satisfy the specified criteria, are communicated by
the seller to the buyer shortly before the agreed upon settlement date. Although the Fund generally intends to acquire or dispose of securities
on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund may instead sell these securities or its commitment before the
settlement date if deemed advisable. This will frequently be the case for TBA transactions and other forward-settling mortgage-backed
securities transactions. No specific limitation exists as to the percentage of the Fund’s assets which may be used to acquire securities
on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis.
When
purchasing a security on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Fund assumes
the risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when
determining its net asset value. Securities purchased on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis are subject to changes
in value based upon the public’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or anticipated, in the level
of interest rates. Accordingly, securities acquired on such a basis may expose the Fund to risks because they may experience such fluctuations
prior to actual delivery. Purchasing securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis may involve the additional
risk that the yield available in the market when the delivery takes place actually may be higher than that obtained in the transaction
itself.
Many
forward commitments, when-issued and delayed delivery transactions, including TBAs, are also subject
to the risk that a counterparty may become bankrupt or otherwise fail to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, including
making payments or fulfilling delivery obligations to the Fund. The Fund may obtain no or only limited recovery in a bankruptcy or other
reorganizational proceedings, and any recovery may be significantly delayed. With respect to TBA transactions and other
forward-settling mortgage-backed securities transactions, the counterparty
risk may be mitigated by the exchange of variation margin between the counterparties on a regular basis as the market value of the deliverable
security fluctuates.
Investment
in these types of securities may increase the possibility that the Fund will incur short-term gains
subject to federal taxation or short-term losses if the Fund must engage in portfolio transactions in order to honor its commitment. In
the case of a purchase transaction, the delayed delivery securities, which will not begin to accrue interest or dividends until the settlement
date, will be recorded as an asset of the Fund and will be subject to the risk of market fluctuation. The purchase price of the delayed
delivery securities is a liability of the Fund until settlement. TBA transactions and other forward-settling mortgage-backed securities
transactions may be effected pursuant to a collateral agreement with the counterparty
under which the parties exchange collateral consisting of cash
or liquid securities in an amount as specified by the agreement that is based on the change in the market value of the TBA transactions
governed by the agreement. The Fund or the counterparty will make payments throughout the term of the transaction as collateral values
fluctuate to maintain full collateralization for the term of the transaction. Collateral will be marked-to-market every business day.
If the counterparty defaults on the transaction or declares bankruptcy or insolvency, the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights,
or the Fund might experience delay and costs in recovering collateral or may suffer a loss if the value of the collateral declines.
Short
Sales.
A
short sale involves the sale of a security which the Fund does not own in the hope of purchasing the same
security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the Fund must borrow the security from a broker. The Fund normally
closes a short sale by purchasing an equivalent number of shares of the borrowed security on the open market and delivering them to the
broker. A short sale is typically effected when the Fund’s Adviser believes that the price of a particular security will decline.
Open short
positions
using options, futures, swaps or forward foreign currency contracts are not deemed to constitute selling
securities short.
To
secure its obligation to deliver the securities sold short to the broker
and repay the securities borrowed, the Fund will be required to deposit cash or liquid securities with the broker as collateral. In addition,
the Fund may have to pay a fee or rate of interest to borrow the securities, and while the loan of the security sold short is outstanding,
the Fund is required to pay to the broker the amount of any dividends paid on shares sold short. The collateral pledged by the Fund to
the broker in connection with short sales will
be marked to market daily. The collateral pledged does not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Fund may lose on a
short sale.
Short
positions create a risk that the Fund will be required to cover them by buying the security at a time when
the security has appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. A short position in a security poses more risk than holding
the same security long. Because a short position loses value as the security’s price increases, the loss on a short sale is theoretically
unlimited. The loss on a long position is limited to what the Fund originally paid for the security together with any transaction costs.
The Fund may not always be able to borrow a security the Fund seeks to sell short at a particular time or at an acceptable price. It is
possible that the market value of the securities the Fund holds in long positions will decline at the same time that the market value
of the securities the Fund has sold short increases, thereby increasing the Fund’s potential volatility and losses. Because the
Fund may be required to pay dividends, interest, premiums and other expenses in connection with a short sale, any benefit for the Fund
resulting from the short sale will be decreased, and the amount of any ultimate gain or loss will be decreased or increased, respectively,
by the amount of such expenses.
Short
sales against the box are short sales of securities that the Fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent
in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If the Fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside
securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities)
and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The Fund will incur transaction costs, including fees
or interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.
Short
sales against the box result in a “constructive sale” and require the Fund to recognize any taxable gain
unless an exception to the constructive sale applies.
Margin
Transactions. The Fund will not purchase any security on margin,
except that the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities.
The payment by the Fund of initial or variation margin in connection with futures, swaps or options transactions and the use of a reverse
repurchase agreement to finance the purchase of a security will not be considered the purchase of a security on margin.
Interfund
Loans. The SEC has issued an exemptive order permitting the Invesco
Funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. The Invesco Funds’ interfund lending
program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirements that: (1) an interfund loan generally will occur only if the
interest rate on the loan is more favorable to the borrowing fund than the interest rate typically available from a bank for a comparable
transaction and the rate is more favorable to the lending fund than the rate available on overnight repurchase transactions; (2) an Invesco
Fund may not lend more than 15% of its net assets through the program (measured at the time of the last loan); and (3) an Invesco Fund
may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to another Invesco Fund through the program (measured at the time of the loan). The Fund may
participate in the program only if and to the extent that such participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective
and investment policies. Interfund loans have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called with one day’s notice and may
be repaid on any day.
Borrowing.
The Fund may borrow money to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions (defined below) and Fund Policies.
Such borrowings may be utilized (i) for temporary or emergency purposes; (ii) in anticipation of or in response to adverse market conditions;
or, (iii)
for
cash management purposes. All borrowings are limited to an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the Fund’s total
assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that exceed this amount will be reduced
within three business days to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation even if it is not advantageous to sell securities
at that time.
If
there are unusually heavy redemptions, the Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a
time when it may not be advantageous to do so. Selling Fund securities under these circumstances may result in a lower net asset value
per share or decreased dividend income, or both. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that, in the event of abnormally heavy redemption
requests, the Fund’s borrowing ability would help to mitigate any such effects and could make the forced sale of their portfolio
securities less likely.
The
Fund may borrow from a bank, broker-dealer, or another Invesco Fund. Additionally, the Fund is permitted
to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in its account with its custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such
overdrafts, the Fund may either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in their account so the custodian bank can be compensated by
earning interest on such funds; or (ii) compensate the custodian bank by paying it an agreed upon rate. The Fund may not purchase additional
securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets or when any borrowings from an
Invesco Fund are outstanding.
The
Fund participates in a secured, committed line of credit (the “Line of Credit”) with certain banks as lenders.
The Line of Credit permits borrowings of up to a maximum aggregate amount by the Fund, as negotiated from time to time. Borrowings by
the Fund under the Line of Credit can be used to purchase Senior Loans or other securities for investment or for other purposes.
Under
the Line of Credit, interest is charged to the Fund, based on its borrowings, at current commercial rates.
Additionally, the Fund will pay a loan commitment fee for the Line of Credit, and pays additional fees annually to the lenders for management
and administration of the facility. The Fund can prepay loans and terminate its participation in the Line of Credit at any time upon prior
notice to the lenders.
Lending
Portfolio Securities. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities
(principally to broker, dealers or other financial institutions) to generate additional income. Such loans are callable at any time
and are continuously secured by segregated collateral equal to no less than the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities.
Such collateral will be cash, letters of credit, or debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies.
The Fund may lend portfolio securities to the extent of one-third of its total assets. The Fund will loan its securities only to parties
that Invesco has determined are in good standing and when, in Invesco’s judgment, the potential income earned would justify the
risks.
Although
voting rights may pass with the lending of portfolio securities, the Fund will be entitled to call loaned
securities, or otherwise obtain rights to vote or consent, when deemed necessary by Invesco with respect to a material event affecting
securities on loan. The Fund would receive income in lieu of dividends on loaned securities and may, at the same time, generate income
on the loan collateral or on the investment of any cash collateral.
If
the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons,
the Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or gaining access to the collateral. If the Fund is not able
to recover the securities loaned, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement security in the market. Lending securities
entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the loaned securities increases and the collateral is
not increased accordingly.
Any
cash received as collateral for loaned securities will be invested, in accordance with the Fund’s investment
guidelines, in short-term money market instruments, affiliated unregistered investment companies that are compliant with Rule 2a-7 or
Affiliated Money Market Funds. Investing this cash subjects that investment to market appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of determining
whether the Fund is complying with its investment policies, strategies and restrictions, the Fund will consider the loaned securities
as assets of the Fund, but will not consider any collateral received as a Fund asset. The Fund will bear any loss on the investment of
cash collateral.
For
a discussion of tax considerations relating to lending portfolio securities, see “Dividends, Distributions and
Tax Matters — Tax Matters — Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Securities lending transactions.”
Repurchase
Agreements. Repurchase agreements are agreements under which the
Fund purchases a security from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase that security at a mutually agreed upon time and price
(which is higher than the purchase price), thereby resulting in a yield to the Fund during the Fund’s holding period. The Fund
may enter into a “continuing contract” or “open” repurchase agreement under which the seller is under a continuing
obligation to repurchase the underlying securities from the Fund on demand and the effective interest rate is negotiated on a daily basis.
Repurchase agreements may be viewed as loans made by the Fund which are collateralized by the securities subject to repurchase.
In
any repurchase agreement, the securities that are subject to the
transaction may be obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Fund may also engage in repurchase
agreements collateralized by non-government securities that are rated investment grade or below investment grade by the requisite NRSROs
or unrated securities of comparable quality, loan participations, and equities.
If
the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance with the terms of the agreement,
the Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience a loss on the sale of the security subject to the repurchase
agreement to the extent that the sale proceeds including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in the repurchase agreement,
including interest. In addition, although the Bankruptcy Code and other insolvency laws may provide certain protections for some types
of repurchase agreements, if the seller of a repurchase agreement should be involved in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, the Fund
may incur delay and costs in selling the underlying security or may suffer a loss of principal and interest if the value of the underlying
security declines or the Fund may be deemed to be an unsecured creditor and be required to return the securities to the seller.
The
Fund may enter into repurchase agreements that involve securities that may be subject to a court- ordered
or other “stay” in the event of the seller’s bankruptcy or insolvency. A “stay” will prevent a Fund
from selling the securities it holds under a repurchase agreement until permitted by a court or other authority. In these situations a
Fund may be subject to greater risk that the value of the securities may decline before they are sold, and that a Fund may experience
a loss.
The
securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market every business day,
and if
the value of the securities falls below a specified percentage
of the repurchase price (typically 102%), the
counterparty will be required to deliver additional collateral
to the Fund in the form of cash or additional securities. Custody of the securities will be maintained by the Fund’s custodian
or sub-custodian for the duration of the agreement.
The
Fund may invest its cash balances in joint accounts with other Invesco Funds for the purpose of investing
in repurchase agreements with maturities not to exceed 60 days, and in certain other money market instruments with remaining maturities
not to exceed 90 days. Repurchase agreements may be considered loans by the Fund under the 1940 Act.
Restricted
and Illiquid Investments. The Fund may not acquire any illiquid
investment if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
For
purposes of the above 15% limitation, an illiquid investment means any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed
of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value
of the investment, as determined pursuant to the 1940 Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder. Illiquid investments may include
a wide variety of investments, such as, for example:
(1) repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days (unless
the agreements have demand/redemption features);
(2) OTC options contracts and certain other derivatives (including
certain swap agreements);
(3) fixed time deposits that are not subject to prepayment or that provide for withdrawal penalties upon prepayment (other than overnight
deposits);
(4) loan interests and other direct debt instruments;
(5) municipal lease obligations;
(6) commercial paper issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933
Act; and (7) securities that are unregistered, that can be sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the
1933 Act, or that are exempt from registration under the 1933
Act
or otherwise restricted under the federal securities laws, including private placement securities sold pursuant
to Regulation S.
Limitations
on the resale of restricted investments may have an adverse effect on their marketability, which
may prevent the Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. The Fund may have to bear the expense of registering such securities
for resale, and the risk of substantial delays in effecting such registrations. The Fund’s difficulty valuing and selling restricted
securities or illiquid investments may result in a loss or be costly to the Fund.
If
a substantial market develops for a restricted security or illiquid investment held by the Fund, it may be treated
as a liquid investment, in accordance with procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board on behalf of the Fund.
Rule
144A Securities. Rule 144A securities are securities which, while
privately placed, are eligible for purchase and resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. This Rule permits certain qualified institutional
buyers, such as the Fund, to trade in privately placed securities even though such securities are not registered under the 1933 Act. Pursuant
to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund will consider whether securities purchased under Rule 144A are illiquid and thus subject to
the Fund’s restriction on illiquid investments. The determination of whether a Rule 144A security is liquid or illiquid will take
into account relevant market trading, and investment-specific considerations consistent with applicable SEC guidance. Additional factors
that may be considered include the (i) frequency of trades and quotes; (ii) number of dealers and potential purchasers; (iii) dealer undertakings
to make a market; and (iv) nature of the security and of market place trades (for example, the time needed to dispose of the security,
the method of soliciting offers and the mechanics of transfer). Investing in Rule 144A securities could increase the amount of the Fund’s
illiquid investments if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.
Reverse
Repurchase Agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements are agreements
that involve the sale of securities held by the Fund to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, with an agreement that
the Fund will repurchase the securities at an agreed upon price and date or upon demand. During the reverse repurchase agreement period,
the Fund continues to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold, but pays interest to the other party on the proceeds
received. The Fund may employ reverse repurchase agreements (i) for temporary emergency purposes, such as to meet unanticipated net redemptions
so as to avoid liquidating other portfolio securities during unfavorable market conditions; (ii) to cover short-term cash requirements
resulting from the timing of trade settlements; or (iii) to take advantage of market situations where the interest income to be earned
from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction.
Reverse
repurchase agreements are a form of leverage and involve the risk that the market value of securities
to be repurchased by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities, resulting in a
requirement for the Fund to deliver margin to the other party in the amount of the related shortfall, or that the other party may default
on its obligation, so that the Fund is delayed or prevented from completing the transaction. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns
more volatile and increase the risk of loss. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy
or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination
by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
Mortgage
Dollar Rolls. A mortgage dollar roll (a dollar roll) is a type
of transaction that involves the sale by the Fund of a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution such as a bank or broker dealer,
with an agreement that the Fund will repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) security at an agreed upon
price and date. The mortgage securities that are purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but will generally be collateralized
by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund will
not be entitled to receive interest or principal payments on the securities sold but is compensated for the difference between the current
sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. The Fund typically enters into a dollar roll transaction to enhance the Fund’s
return either on an income or total return basis or to manage pre-payment risk.
Dollar
roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained by the Fund may decline
below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event the buyer of
securities under a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale
of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s
obligation to repurchase the securities.
Unless
the benefits of the sale exceed the income, capital appreciation or gains on the securities sold as part
of the dollar roll, the investment performance of the Fund will be less than what the performance would have been without the use of dollar
rolls. The benefits of dollar rolls may depend upon the Adviser or Sub-Adviser’s ability to predict mortgage repayments and interest
rates. There is no assurance that dollar rolls can be successfully employed.
Standby
Commitments. Under a standby commitment a bank or dealer would
agree to purchase, at the Fund’s option, specified securities at a specified price. Standby commitments generally increase the
cost of the acquisition of the underlying security, thereby reducing the yield. Standby commitments depend upon the issuer’s ability
to fulfill its obligation upon demand. Although no definitive creditworthiness criteria are used for this purpose, Invesco reviews the
creditworthiness of the banks and other municipal securities dealers from which the Funds obtain standby commitments in order to evaluate
those risks.
Derivatives
A
derivative is a financial instrument whose value is dependent upon the value of other assets, rates or indices,
referred to as “underlying reference assets.” These underlying reference assets may include, among others commodities, stocks,
bonds, interest rates, currency exchange rates or related indices. Derivatives include, among others, swaps, options, futures and forward
foreign currency contracts. Some derivatives, such as futures and certain options, are traded on U.S. commodity and securities exchanges,
while other derivatives, such as many types of swap agreements, are privately negotiated and entered into in the OTC market. In addition,
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) and implementing rules require certain types
of swaps to be traded on public execution facilities and centrally cleared.
Derivatives
may be used for “hedging,” which means that they may be used when the portfolio managers seek
to protect the Fund’s investments from a decline in value, which could result from changes in interest rates, market prices, currency
fluctuations and other market factors. Derivatives may also be used when the portfolio managers seek to increase liquidity, implement
a tax or cash management strategy, invest in a particular stock, bond or segment of the market in a more efficient or less expensive way,
modify the characteristics of the Fund’s portfolio investments, for example, duration, and/or to enhance return. However derivatives
are used, their successful use is not assured and will depend upon, among other factors, the portfolio managers’ ability to predict
and understand relevant market movements.
Certain
derivatives involve leverage, that is, the amount invested may be smaller than the full economic exposure of the derivative instrument
and the Fund could lose more than it invested. The leverage involved in these derivative transactions may result in the Fund’s
net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of its investments.
Commodity
Exchange Act (CEA) Regulation and Exclusions:
With
respect to the Fund, Invesco has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator”
(CPO) under the CEA and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration
or regulation as a CPO. In addition, Invesco is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor”
(CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The
terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments
in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include
non-deliverable forwards, as further described below. Because Invesco and the
Fund intend
to comply with the terms of the CPO exclusion, the Fund may, in the future, need to adjust its investment
strategies, consistent with its investment objective, to limit its investments in these types of instruments. The Fund is not intended
as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved
Invesco’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies,
its prospectus or this SAI.
Generally,
the exclusion from CPO regulation on which Invesco relies requires the Fund to meet one of the
following tests for its commodity interest positions, other than positions entered into for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined in
the rules of the CFTC): either (1) the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish the Fund’s positions in commodity
interests may not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund’s portfolio (after taking into account unrealized profits and
unrealized losses on any such positions); or (2) the aggregate net notional value of the Fund’s commodity interest positions, determined
at the time the most recent such position was established, may not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of the Fund’s portfolio
(after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions). In addition to meeting one of these trading
limitations, this Fund may not market itself as a commodity pool or otherwise as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity
options or swaps markets. If, in the future, the Fund can no longer satisfy these requirements, Invesco would withdraw its notice claiming
an exclusion from the definition of a CPO, and Invesco would be subject to registration and regulation as a CPO with respect to the Fund,
in accordance with the CFTC rules that allow for substituted compliance with CFTC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements based
on Invesco’s compliance with comparable SEC requirements. However, as a result of CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund, the
Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses.
General
risks associated with derivatives:
The
use by the Fund of derivatives may involve certain risks, as described below.
Counterparty
Risk: The risk that a counterparty under a derivatives agreement
will not live up to its obligations, including because of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain agreements may not
contemplate delivery of collateral to support fully a counterparty’s contractual obligation; therefore, the Fund might need to
rely solely on contractual remedies to satisfy the counterparty’s full obligation. As with any contractual remedy, there is no
guarantee that the Fund will be successful in pursuing such remedies, particularly in the event of the counterparty’s bankruptcy
or insolvency. Many derivative trading agreements,
such as an ISDA Master Agreement governing OTC swaps, provide for
netting of derivatives transactions governed by the agreement in the event of a default by either counterparty, pursuant to which the
Fund’s and the counterparty’s obligations under the relevant transactions can be netted and set-off against each other,
in which case the Fund’s obligation or right will be the net amount owed to or by the counterparty. Netting agreements are intended
to function as a counterparty credit risk mitigant, but in the case of a bankruptcy or insolvency of the relevant counterparty, are subject
to the risk that the insolvency regime applicable to the counterparty might not recognize the enforceability of the contractual netting
provisions. The Fund will not enter into a derivative transaction with any counterparty that Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers believe does
not have the financial resources to honor its obligations under the transaction. Invesco monitors the financial stability of counterparties.
Where the obligations of the counterparty are guaranteed, Invesco monitors the financial stability of the guarantor and the counterparty.
If a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of the derivative would also likely decline, potentially resulting in
losses to the Fund.
The
Fund will not enter into a transaction with any single counterparty if the net amount owed or to be received
under existing transactions under the agreements with that counterparty would exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets determined on
the date the transaction is entered into or as otherwise permitted by law.
Leverage
Risk: Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally
invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic
exposure of the instrument or transaction. 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 Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of some derivatives may result in economic leverage,
which does not result in the
possibility
of the Fund incurring obligations beyond its initial investment, but that nonetheless permits the Fund
to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument.
Liquidity
Risk: The risk that a particular derivative is difficult to sell
or liquidate. If a derivative transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate
a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses to the Fund.
Pricing
Risk: The risk that the value of a particular derivative does not
move in tandem or as otherwise expected relative to the corresponding underlying instruments.
Special
Regulatory Risks of Derivatives: The regulation of derivatives
is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. In addition, the SEC, CFTC and the
exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the implementation
or reduction of speculative position limits, the implementation of higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits
and the suspension of trading.
It
is not possible to predict fully the effects of current or future regulation. However, it is possible that developments
in government regulation of various types of derivative instruments, such as speculative position limits on certain types of derivatives,
or limits or restrictions on the counterparties with which the Fund engages in derivative transactions, may limit or prevent the Fund
from using or limit the Fund’s use of these instruments effectively as a part of its investment strategy, and could adversely affect
the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Invesco will continue to monitor developments in the area, particularly
to the extent regulatory changes affect the Fund’s ability to enter into desired swap agreements. New requirements, even if not
directly applicable to the Fund, may increase the cost of the Fund’s investments and cost of doing business.
Tax
Risks: For a discussion of the tax considerations relating to derivative
transactions, see “Tax Matters.”
General
risks of hedging strategies using derivatives:
The
use by the Fund of hedging strategies involves special considerations and risks, as described below.
Successful
use of hedging transactions depends upon Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ ability to predict correctly
the direction of changes in the value of the applicable markets and securities, contracts and/or currencies. While Invesco and the Sub-Advisers
are experienced in the use of derivatives for hedging, there can be no assurance that any particular hedging strategy will succeed.
In
a hedging transaction, there might be imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between the price movements
of an instrument used for hedging and the price movements of the investments being hedged. Such a lack of correlation might occur due
to factors unrelated to the value of the investments being hedged, such as changing interest rates, market liquidity, and speculative
or other pressures on the markets in which the hedging instrument is traded.
Hedging
strategies, if successful, can reduce risk of loss by wholly or partially offsetting the negative effect
of unfavorable price movements in the investments being hedged. However, hedging strategies can also reduce opportunity for gain by offsetting
the positive effect of favorable price movements in the hedged investments. Investors should bear in mind that the Fund is not obligated
to actively engage in hedging. For example, the Fund may not have attempted to hedge its exposure to a particular foreign currency at
a time when doing so might have avoided a loss.
Types
of derivatives:
Swaps.
Generally, swap agreements are contracts between the Fund and another party (the counterparty) involving the exchange of payments on specified
terms over periods ranging from a few days to multiple years. A swap agreement may be negotiated bilaterally and traded OTC between the
two parties (for an uncleared swap) or, in some instances, must be transacted through a futures commission merchant (FCM) and cleared
through a clearinghouse that serves as a central counterparty (for a cleared swap). In a basic swap transaction, the Fund agrees with
its counterparty to exchange the returns (or differentials in returns) and/or cash flows earned or realized on a particular asset such
as an equity or debt security, commodity,
currency,
interest rate or index, calculated with respect to a “notional amount.” The notional amount is the set amount
selected by the parties to use as the basis on which to calculate the obligations that the parties to a swap agreement have agreed to
exchange. The parties typically do not exchange the notional amount. Instead, they agree to exchange the returns that would be earned
or realized if the notional amount were invested in given investments or at given interest rates. Examples of returns that may be exchanged
in a swap agreement are those of a particular security, a particular fixed or variable interest rate, a particular foreign currency, or
a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Swap agreements can also be based on credit and other events.
In some cases, such as cross currency swaps, the swap agreement may require delivery (exchange) of the entire notional value of one designated
currency for another designated currency.
A
Fund will typically only enter into swap agreements with counterparties who use standard International Swap
and Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) contract documentation. ISDA establishes industry standards for the documentation
of swap agreements. Virtually all principal swap participants use ISDA documentation because it has an established set of definitions,
contract terms and counterparty obligations, including provisions for master netting agreements. It is possible that developments in the
swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to terminate existing swap agreements
or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements. Additionally, ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features
which allow Counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the
Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would
cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Comprehensive
swaps regulation. The Dodd-Frank Act and analogous international
laws enacted after the financial crisis imposed comprehensive regulatory requirements on swaps and swap market participants. The U.S.
regulatory framework includes: (1) registration and regulation of swap dealers and major swap participants; (2) requiring central clearing
and electronic execution of standardized swaps on swap execution facilities; (3) imposing margin requirements on uncleared swap transactions;
(4) regulating and monitoring swap transactions through position limits and large trader reporting requirements; and (5) imposing record
keeping and centralized and public reporting requirements, on an anonymous basis, for most swaps. The CFTC is responsible for the regulation
of most swaps. The SEC has jurisdiction over a small segment of the market referred to as “security-based swaps,” which
includes swaps on single securities or narrow-based indices of securities and single name credit default swaps.
Uncleared
swaps. In an uncleared swap, the swap counterparty is typically
a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution. In the event that one party to the swap transaction defaults and the transaction
is terminated prior to its scheduled termination date, one of the parties may be required to make an early termination payment to the
other. An early termination payment may be payable by either the defaulting party or the non-defaulting party, under certain circumstances,
depending upon which of them is “in-the-money” with respect to the swap at the time of its termination. Early termination
payments may be calculated in various ways, but generally represent the amount that the “in-the-money” party would have
to pay to replace the swap as of the date of its termination.
During
the term of an uncleared swap, the Fund will be required to pledge to the swap counterparty, from time
to time, an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to the total net amount (if any) that would be payable by the Fund to the counterparty
if all outstanding swaps between the parties were terminated on the date in question, including any early termination payments (variation
margin). Periodically, changes in the amount pledged are made to recognize changes in value of the swap contract resulting from, among
other things market
value changes in the underlying investment referenced
in the swap. Likewise, the counterparty will be required to pledge cash or other assets to cover its obligations to the Fund. However,
the amount pledged will not always be equal to or more than the amount due to the other party. Therefore, if a counterparty defaults in
its obligations to the Fund, the amount pledged by the counterparty and available to the Fund may not be sufficient to cover all the amounts
due to the Fund and the Fund may sustain a loss.
Regulations
requiring initial margin to be posted by certain market participants
for uncleared swaps have been adopted and are being phased in over time. When these rules take effect with respect to the Fund, if a Fund
is deemed to have material swaps exposure (generally, an average gross notional amount of uncleared swaps and foreign currency forward
contracts at certain measurement dates exceeding $8 billion), it will under these regulations be required to post initial margin in addition
to variation margin.
Uncleared
swaps are not traded on exchanges. As a result, swap participants may not be as protected as participants
on organized exchanges. Performance of a swap agreement is the responsibility only of the swap counterparty and not of any exchange or
clearinghouse. As a result, a Fund is subject to the risk that a counterparty will be unable or will refuse to perform under such agreement,
including because of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. The Fund risks the loss of the accrued but unpaid amounts under
a swap agreement, which could be substantial, in the event of a default, insolvency or bankruptcy by a swap counterparty. In such an event,
the Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the swap agreement, but bankruptcy and insolvency laws could affect the Fund’s
rights as a creditor. If the counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of a swap agreement would likely decline, potentially
resulting in losses.
Cleared
Swaps. Certain standardized swaps are subject to mandatory central
clearing and trading on
execution facilities. The
Dodd-Frank Act and analogous international laws will ultimately require the clearing and trading on execution facilities of many swaps.
To date, the CFTC has designated only certain of the most common credit default index swaps and certain interest rate swaps as subject
to mandatory clearing and certain public execution facilities have made these swaps available to trade, but it is expected that additional
categories of swaps will in the future be designated as subject to mandatory clearing and trade execution requirements.
In
a cleared swap, the Fund’s ultimate counterparty is a central clearinghouse rather than a brokerage firm,
bank or other financial institution. Cleared swaps are submitted for clearing through each party’s FCM, which must be a member
of the clearinghouse that serves as the central counterparty.
When
the Fund enters into a cleared swap, it must deliver to the clearinghouse(via
the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the clearinghouse, and
are typically calculated as an amount based on the volatility in market value of the cleared swap over a fixed period, but an FCM may
require additional initial margin above the amount required by the clearinghouse. During the term of the swap agreement, “variation
margin” may also be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund. If the value of the Fund’s cleared swap
declines, the Fund will be required to make additional variation margin payments to the FCM to settle the change in value. Conversely,
if the market value of the Fund’s position increases, the FCM will post additional variation margin to the Fund’s account.
At the conclusion of the term of the swap agreement, if the Fund has a loss equal to or greater than the margin amount, the margin amount
is paid to the FCM along with any loss in excess of the margin amount. If the Fund has a loss of less than the margin amount, the excess
margin is returned to the Fund. If the Fund has a gain, the full margin amount and the amount of the gain are paid to the Fund.
Central
clearing is designed to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity compared to uncleared
swaps because central clearing interposes the central clearinghouse as the counterparty to each participant’s swap, but it does
not eliminate those risks completely. There is also a risk of loss by the Fund of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event
of bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM through which the Fund holds an open position, or the clearinghouse in a swap contract. The assets
of the Fund may not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM or clearinghouse because the Fund might
be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM’s customers. If
the FCM does not provide accurate reporting, the Fund is also subject to the risk that the FCM could use the Fund’s assets
to satisfy its own financial obligations or the payment obligations
of another customer to the clearinghouse. Credit risk of cleared swap participants is concentrated in a few clearinghouses, and the consequences
of insolvency of a clearinghouse are not clear.
With
cleared swaps, the Fund may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as it would be able to negotiate
for a bilateral, uncleared swap. In addition, an FCM may unilaterally amend the terms of its agreement with the Fund, which may include
the imposition of position limits or additional margin
requirements
with respect to the Fund’s investment in certain types of swaps. Clearinghouses
and FCMs can require termination of existing cleared swap transactions upon the occurrence of certain events, and can also require increases
in margin above the margin that is required at the initiation of the swap agreement.
Finally,
the Fund is subject to the risk that, after entering into a cleared swap with an executing broker, no FCM
or clearinghouse is willing or able to clear the transaction. In such an event, the Fund may be required to break the trade and make an
early termination payment to the executing broker.
Commonly
used swap agreements include:
Credit
Default Swaps (CDS): A CDS is an agreement between two parties
where the first party agrees to make one or more payments to the second party, while the second party assumes the risk of certain defaults,
generally a failure to pay or bankruptcy of the issuer on a referenced debt obligation. CDS transactions are typically individually negotiated
and structured. The Fund may enter into CDS to create long or short exposure to domestic or foreign corporate debt securities or sovereign
debt securities.
The
Fund may buy a CDS (buy credit protection). In this transaction the Fund makes a stream of payments
based on a fixed interest rate (the premium) over the life of the swap in exchange for a counterparty (the seller) taking on the risk
of default of a referenced debt obligation (the Reference Obligation). If a credit event occurs for the Reference Obligation, the Fund
would cease making premium payments and it would deliver defaulted bonds to the seller. In return, the seller would pay the notional value
of the Reference Obligation to the Fund. Alternatively, the two counterparties may agree to cash settlement in which the seller delivers
to the Fund (buyer) the difference between the market value and the notional value of the Reference Obligation. If no event of default
occurs, the Fund pays the fixed premium to the seller for the life of the contract, and no other exchange occurs.
Alternatively,
the Fund may sell a CDS (sell credit protection). In this transaction the Fund will receive premium
payments from the buyer in exchange for taking the risk of default of the Reference Obligation. If a credit event occurs for the Reference
Obligation, the buyer would cease to make premium payments to the Fund and deliver the Reference Obligation to the Fund. In return, the
Fund would pay the notional value of the Reference Obligation to the buyer. Alternatively, the two counterparties may agree to cash settlement
in which the Fund would pay the buyer the difference between the market value and the notional value of the Reference Obligation. If no
event of default occurs, the Fund receives the premium payments over the life of the contract, and no other exchange occurs.
Credit
Default Index Swaps (CDX): A CDX is a swap on an index of CDS.
A CDX allows an investor to manage credit risk or to take a position on a basket of credit entities (such as CDS or CMBS) in a more efficient
manner than transacting in single name CDS. If a credit event occurs in one of the underlying companies, the protection is paid out via
the delivery of the defaulted bond by the buyer of protection in return for payment of the notional value of the defaulted bond by the
seller of protection or it may be settled through a cash settlement between the two parties. The underlying company is then removed from
the index. New series of CDX are issued on a regular basis. A Commercial Mortgage-Backed Index (CMBX) is a type of CDX made up of 25 tranches
of commercial mortgage-backed securities (See “Debt Instruments — Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities”) rather
than CDS. Unlike other CDX contracts where credit events are intended to capture an event of default, CMBX involves a pay-as-you-go (PAUG)
settlement process designed to capture non-default events that affect the cash flow of the reference obligation. PAUG involves ongoing,
two-way payments over the life of a contract between the buyer and the seller of protection and is designed to closely mirror the cash
flow of a portfolio of cash commercial mortgage-backed securities. A CDX index tranche provides access to customized risk, exposing each
investor to losses at different levels of subordination. The lowest part of the capital structure is called the “equity tranche”
as it has exposure to the first losses experienced in the basket. The mezzanine and senior tranches are higher in the capital structure
but can also be exposed to loss in value. Investments are subject to liquidity risks as well as other risks associated with investments
in credit default swaps.
Foreign
Exchange Swaps: A foreign exchange swap involves an agreement between
two parties to exchange two different currencies on a specific date at a fixed rate, and an agreement for the reverse
exchange
of those two currencies at a later date and at a fixed rate. Foreign exchange swaps were exempted from
the definition of “swaps” by the U.S. Treasury and are therefore not subject to many rules under the CEA that apply to swaps,
including the mandatory clearing requirement. They are also not considered “commodity interests” for purposes of CEA Regulations
and Exclusions, discussed above. However, foreign exchange swaps nevertheless remain subject to the CFTC’s trade reporting requirements,
enhanced anti-evasion authority, and strengthened business conduct standards.
Currency
Swaps: A currency swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange
periodic cash flows on a notional amount of two or more currencies based on the relative value differential between them. Currency swaps
typically involve the delivery of the entire notional values of the two designated currencies. In such a situation, the full notional
value of a currency swap is subject to the risk that the other party to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations.
The Fund may also enter into currency swaps on a net basis, which means the two different currency payment streams under the swap agreement
are converted and netted out to a single cash payment in just one of the currencies.
Because
currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning
and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be negatively affected by government exchange controls, blockages,
and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed by governments. These actions could result in losses to the Fund if it is unable to
deliver or receive a specified currency or funds in settlement of obligations, including swap transaction obligations. These actions could
also have an adverse effect on the Fund’s swap transactions or cause the Fund’s hedging positions to be rendered useless,
resulting in full currency exposure as well as incurring unnecessary transaction costs.
Interest
Rate Swaps: An agreement between two parties pursuant to which
the parties exchange a floating rate payment for a fixed rate payment based on a specified principal or notional amount. In other words,
Party A agrees to pay Party B a fixed interest rate multiplied by a notional amount and in return Party B agrees to pay Party A a variable
interest rate multiplied by the same notional amount.
Commodity
Swaps: A commodity swap agreement is a contract in which one party
agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of a commodity-based underlying instrument (such
as a specific commodity or commodity index) in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return
from another commodity-based underlying instrument. In a total return commodity swap, the Fund receives the price appreciation of a commodity
index, a portion of a commodity index or a single commodity in exchange for paying an agreed-upon fee.
Total
Return Swaps: An agreement in which one party makes payments based
on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes
both the income it generates and any capital gains.
Volatility
and Variance Swaps: A volatility swap involves an exchange between
the Fund and a counterparty of periodic payments based on the measured volatility of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest
rate, index or other reference asset over a specified time frame. Depending on the structure of the swap, either the Fund’s or
the counterparty’s payment obligation will typically be based on the realized volatility of the reference asset as measured by
changes in its price or level over a specified time period while the other party’s payment obligation will be based on a specified
rate representing expected volatility for the reference asset at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different
reference asset over a specified time period. The Fund will typically make or lose money on a volatility swap depending on the magnitude
of the reference asset’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over a specified time period, rather than general increases
or decreases in the price of the reference asset. Volatility swaps are often used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the
spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of other investments held by the Fund. Variance
swaps are similar to volatility swaps except payments are based on the difference between the implied and measured volatility mathematically
squared.
Inflation
Swaps: Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party
agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index, over the term of the swap (with
some
lag on the referenced inflation index), and the other party pays a compounded fixed rate. Inflation swap agreements
may be used to protect the net asset value of the Fund against an unexpected change in the rate of inflation measured by an inflation
index. The value of inflation swap agreements is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates
are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation.
Swaptions:
An option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption,” is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation,
to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives the owner the right to
receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return
of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended
by one of the counterparties.
Swaptions
are considered to be swaps for purposes of CFTC regulation. Although they are currently traded
OTC, the CFTC may in the future designate certain options on swaps as subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading.
Options.
An option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right, but not the obligation, to
buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option at the exercise price during the term of the
option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), the security, currency or other instrument underlying
the option (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of certain options, such as an index option and other cash-settled options).
An option on a CDS or a futures contract (described below) gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a CDS
or assume a position in a futures contract. Option transactions present the possibility of large amounts of exposure (or leverage), which
may result in the Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the option.
The
value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the current market value of the underlying investment,
the time remaining until expiration, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the underlying investment, the price
volatility of the underlying investment and general market and interest rate conditions.
The
Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by entering into an offsetting closing
transaction. For example, the Fund may terminate its obligation under a call or put option that it had written by purchasing an identical
call or put option, which is known as a closing purchase transaction. Conversely, the Fund may terminate a position in a put or call option
it had purchased by writing an identical put or call option, which is known as a closing sale transaction. Closing transactions permit
the Fund to realize profits or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.
Options
may be either listed on an exchange or traded in OTC markets. Listed options are tri-party contracts
(i.e., performance of the obligations of the purchaser and seller are guaranteed by the exchange or clearing corporation) and have standardized
strike prices and expiration dates. OTC options are two-party contracts with negotiated strike prices and expiration dates and differ
from exchange-traded options in that OTC options are transacted with dealers directly and not through a clearing corporation (which guarantees
performance). In the case of OTC options, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option
at any specific time; therefore the Fund may be required to treat some or all OTC options as illiquid investments. Although the Fund will
enter into OTC options only with dealers that are expected to be capable of entering into closing transactions with it, there is no assurance
that the Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option position at a favorable price prior to exercise or expiration. In the event
of insolvency of the dealer, the Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any time prior to its expiration.
Types
of Options:
Put
Options on Securities. A put option gives the purchaser the right
to sell, to the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration
date of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), regardless of the
market
price or exchange rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise.
If the purchaser exercises the put option, the writer of a put option is obligated to buy the underlying security, contract or foreign
currency for the exercise price.
Call
Options on Securities. A call option gives the purchaser the right
to buy, from the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration
of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), regardless of the market price or exchange
rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the call option,
the writer of a call option is obligated to sell to and deliver the underlying security, contract or foreign currency to the purchaser
of the call option for the exercise price.
Index
Options. Index options (or options on securities indices) give
the option buyer the right to receive, upon exercise, a cash settlement amount instead of the securities included in the relevant index,
if the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the
case of a put, the exercise price of the option. The amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the index
on the relevant option expiration date and the exercise price of the call or put times a specified multiple (the multiplier), which determines
the total dollar value for each point of such difference.
The
risks of investment in index options may be greater than options on securities,
especially if the Fund writes index call options. Because index options are settled in cash, when the Fund writes a call on an index it
cannot provide in advance for its potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund can offset
some of the risk of writing an index call option by holding a diversified portfolio of securities similar to those included in the underlying
index. However, the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a portfolio containing exactly the same securities in the index
and, as a result, bears the risk that the value of the securities held will not be perfectly correlated with the value of the index.
CDS
Options. A CDS option transaction gives the buyer the right, but
not the obligation, to enter into a CDS at a specified future date and under specified terms in exchange for paying a market based purchase
price or premium. The writer of the option bears the risk of any unfavorable move in the value of the CDS relative to the market value
on the exercise date, while the purchaser may allow the option to expire unexercised.
Options
on Futures Contracts. Options on futures contracts give the holder
the right to assume a position in a futures contract (to buy the futures contract if the option is a call and to sell the futures contract
if the option is a put) at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option.
Option
Techniques:
Writing
Options. The Fund may write options to generate additional income.
As the writer of an option, the Fund may have no control over when the underlying reference asset must be sold (in the case of a call
option) or purchased (in the case of a put option), if the option was structured as an American style option, because the option purchaser
may notify the Fund of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the option. In addition, if the option is cash-settled instead
of deliverable, the Fund is obligated to pay the option purchaser the difference between the exercise price and the value of the underlying
reference asset, instead of selling or purchasing the underlying reference asset, if the option is exercised. In general, options are
rarely exercised prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium.
The
Fund would write a put option at an exercise price that, reduced by the premium received on the option,
reflects the price it is willing to pay for the underlying reference asset. In return for the premium received for writing a put option,
the Fund assumes the risk that the price of the underlying reference asset will decline below the exercise price, in which case the put
option may be exercised and the Fund may suffer a loss.
In
return for the premium received for writing a call option on a reference asset, the Fund foregoes the opportunity
for profit from a price increase in the underlying reference asset above the exercise price so long as the option remains open, but retains
the risk of loss should the price of the reference asset decline.
If
an option that the Fund has written expires, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however,
such gain may be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying reference asset, held by the Fund during the option period.
If a call option is exercised, the Fund will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying reference asset, which will be increased
or offset by the premium received. The obligation imposed upon the writer of an option is terminated upon the expiration of the option,
or such earlier time at which the Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option (put or call as the case may be)
identical to that previously sold. However, once a Fund has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction
in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver (for a call) or purchase (for a put) the underlying reference asset
at the exercise price (if deliverable) or pay the difference between the exercise price and the value of the underlying reference asset
(if cash-settled).
Purchasing
Options. The Fund may purchase a put option on an underlying reference
asset owned by the Fund in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying reference asset held by the
Fund; may purchase put options on underlying reference assets against which it has written other put options; or may speculate on the
value of an underlying reference asset, index or quantitative measure. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would
reduce any profit realized when the underlying reference asset is delivered upon the exercise of the put option. Conversely, if the underlying
reference asset does not decline in value, the option may expire worthless and the premium paid for the protective put would be lost.
A put option may also be purchased on an investment the Fund does not own.
The
Fund may purchase a call option for the purpose of acquiring the underlying reference asset for its portfolio,
or on underlying reference assets against which it has written other call options. The Fund is not required to own the underlying reference
asset in order to purchase a call option. If the Fund does not own the underlying position, the purchase of a call option would enable
the Fund to acquire the underlying reference asset at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. So long as it holds
a call option, rather than the underlying reference asset itself, the Fund is partially protected from any unexpected increase in the
market price of the underlying reference asset. If the market price does not exceed the exercise price, the Fund could purchase the underlying
reference asset on the open market and could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid
for the option.
Municipal
Market Data Rate Locks. A Municipal Market Data Rate Lock (MMD
Rate Lock) permits the Fund to lock in a specified municipal interest rate for a portion of its portfolio to preserve a return on a particular
investment or a portion of its portfolio as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities
to be purchased at a later date. MMD Rate Locks may be used for hedging purposes. An MMD Rate Lock is an agreement between two parties,
the Fund and an MMD Rate Lock provider, pursuant to which the parties agree to make payments to each other on a notional amount, contingent
upon whether the Municipal Market Data AAA General Obligation Scale is above or below a specified level on the expiration date of the
contract.
MMD
Rate Locks involve the risk that municipal yields will move in the direction opposite than the direction
anticipated by the Fund. The risk of loss with respect to MMD Rate Locks is limited to the amount of payments the Fund is contractually
obligated to make. If the other party to an MMD Rate Lock defaults, the Fund's risk of loss consists of the amount of payments that the
Fund contractually is entitled to receive. If there is a default by the counterparty, the Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant
to the agreements related to the transaction, but they could be difficult to enforce.
Straddles/Spreads/Collars.
Spread
and straddle options transactions. In “spread” transactions,
the Fund buys and writes a put or buys and writes a call on the same underlying instrument with the options having different exercise
prices, expiration dates, or both. In “straddles,” the Fund purchases a put option and a call option or writes a put option
and a call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and typically the same exercise
price.
When the Fund engages in spread and straddle transactions, it seeks to profit from differences in the option
premiums paid and received and in the market prices of the related options positions when they are closed out or sold. Because these transactions
require the Fund to buy and/or write more than one option simultaneously, the Fund’s ability to enter into such transactions and
to liquidate its positions when necessary or deemed advisable may be more limited than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option.
Similarly, costs incurred by the Fund in connection with these transactions will in many cases be greater than if the Fund were to buy
or sell a single option.
Option
Collars. The Fund also may use option “collars.”
A “collar” position combines a put option purchased by the Fund (the right of the Fund to sell a specific security within
a specified period) with a call option that is written by the Fund (the right of the counterparty to buy the same security) in a single
instrument. The Fund’s right to sell the security is typically set at a price that is below the counterparty’s right to
buy the security. Thus, the combined position “collars” the performance of the underlying security, providing protection
from depreciation below the price specified in the put option, and allowing for participation in any appreciation up to the price specified
by the call option.
Rights
and Warrants. Rights are equity securities representing a preemptive
right of stockholders to purchase additional shares of a stock at the time of a new issuance, before the stock is offered to the general
public. A stockholder who purchases rights may be able to retain the same ownership percentage after the new stock offering. A right usually
enables the stockholder to purchase common stock at a price below the initial offering price. A Fund that purchases a right takes
the risk that the right might expire worthless because the market value of the common stock falls below the price fixed by the right.
A
warrant gives the holder the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specific price within a certain
time frame and is similar to a call option. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued by the company
that will issue the underlying security, whereas options are not issued by the company. Young, unseasoned companies often issue warrants
to finance their operations.
Futures
Contracts.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement to buy or sell a specified
amount of a specified security, currency, commodity, interest rate or index (or deliver a cash settlement price, in the case of certain
futures such as an index future, interest rate future or volatility future) for a specified price at a designated future date, time and
place. A “sale” of a futures contract means the acquisition of a contractual obligation to deliver the underlying instrument
or asset called for by the contract at a specified price on a specified date. A “purchase” of a futures contract means the
acquisition of a contractual obligation to acquire the underlying instrument or asset called for by the contract at a specified price
on a specified date. Futures contracts are generally bought and sold on futures exchanges referred to as designated contract markets and
are held through a broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), that is a member of the designated contract market and its related
clearinghouse. The designated contract market sets the specifications of the relevant futures contract, including the date, time and place
of delivery or settlement of the contract and the quantity of the underlying instrument or asset per contract.
The
Fund will only enter into futures contracts that are traded (either domestically or internationally) on futures
exchanges or certain exempt markets including exempt boards of trade and electronic trading facilities; and are standardized as to maturity
date and underlying instrument or asset. Futures exchanges and trading thereon in the United States are regulated under the CEA by the
CFTC. Foreign futures exchanges or exempt markets and trading thereon are not regulated by the CFTC and may not be subject to the same
regulatory controls. In addition, futures contracts that are traded on non-U.S. exchanges or exempt markets may not be as liquid as those
purchased on CFTC-designated contract markets. For a further discussion of the risks associated with investments in foreign securities,
see “Foreign Investments” above.
Brokerage
fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold, and margin deposits must be maintained
at all times when a futures contract is outstanding. “Margin” for a futures contract is the amount of funds that must be
deposited by the Fund with the applicable FCM in order to initiate trading in the futures contract and maintain its open positions in
futures contract. A margin deposit made when the futures contract
is
entered (initial margin) is intended to ensure the Fund’s performance under the futures contract. The initial
margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the futures contract is traded and may be significantly
modified from time to time by the exchange or the FCM during the term of the futures contract.
Subsequent
payments, called “variation margin,” received from or paid to the FCM through which the Fund
holds the futures contract will be made on a daily basis as the futures contract price fluctuates making the futures contract more or
less valuable, a process known as marking-to-market. When the futures contract is closed out, if the Fund has a loss equal to or greater
than the margin amount, the margin amount is paid to the FCM along with any loss in excess of the margin amount. If the Fund has a loss
of less than the margin amount, the excess margin is returned to the Fund. If the Fund has a gain, the full margin amount and the amount
of the gain are paid to the Fund and the FCM pays the Fund any excess gain over the margin amount.
There
is a risk of loss by the Fund of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency of the FCM with which the Fund has an open position in a futures contract. The assets of the Fund may not be fully protected
in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the FCM or clearinghouse because the Fund might be limited to recovering only a pro rata
share of all available funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM’s customers. If the FCM does not provide accurate reporting,
the Fund is also subject to the risk that the FCM could use the Fund’s assets, which are held in an omnibus account with assets
belonging to the FCM’s other customers, to satisfy its own financial obligations or the payment obligations of another customer
to the clearinghouse.
Closing
out an open futures contract is effected by entering into an offsetting futures contract for the same aggregate
amount of the identical underlying instrument or asset and the same delivery or settlement date. There can be no assurance, however, that
the Fund will be able to enter into an offsetting contract with respect to a particular futures contract at a particular time. If the
Fund is not able to enter into an offsetting contract, it will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures
contract.
In
addition, if the Fund were unable to liquidate a futures contract or an option on a futures contract position
due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses. The Fund would continue
to be subject to market risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in the case of purchased options, the Fund would continue
to be required to make daily variation margin payments.
Pursuant
to federal securities laws and regulations, a Fund’s use of futures contracts and options on futures
contracts may require the Fund to set aside assets to reduce the risks associated with using futures contracts and options on futures
contracts. This process is described in more detail above in the section “Derivatives.”
Types
of Futures Contracts:
Commodity
Futures: A commodity futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
to buy or sell a particular commodity at a specified price at some time in the future. Commodity futures contracts are highly volatile;
therefore, the prices of a Fund’s shares may be subject to greater volatility to the extent it invests in commodity futures.
Currency
Futures: A currency futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded
contract to buy or sell a particular currency at a specified price at a future date (commonly three months or more). Currency futures
contracts may be highly volatile and thus result in substantial gains or losses to the Fund.
The
Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of a currency futures contract or, prior
to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. The Fund may also enter into currency
futures contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated
as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount. Closing
transactions
with respect to currency futures contracts are usually effected with the counterparty to the original
currency futures contract.
Index
Futures: An index futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
that provides for the delivery, at a designated date, time and place, of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the
difference between the index value at the close of trading on the date specified in the contract and the price agreed upon in the futures
contract; no physical delivery of securities comprising the index is made. Index futures can be based on stock, bond or other indices.
Such indices cannot be purchased or sold directly.
Bond
Index Futures: Bond index futures are contracts based on the future
value of a basket of fixed-income securities that comprise the index. The seller or buyer of a bond index future is obligated to pay cash
to settle the transaction, based on the fluctuation of the index’s value in response to the changes in the values of the fixed-income
securities that are included in the index over the term of the contract. A bond index cannot be purchased or sold directly.
Interest
Rate Futures: An interest rate futures contract is an exchange-traded
contract in which the specified underlying security is either an interest-bearing fixed income security or an inter-bank deposit. Two
examples of common interest rate futures contracts are U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures contracts. The specified security
for U.S. Treasury futures is a U.S. Treasury security. The specified security for Eurodollar futures is the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), which is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the
London wholesale money market.
Dividend
Futures: A dividend futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
to purchase or sell an amount equal to the total dividends paid by a selected security, basket of securities or index, over a period of
time for a specified price that is based on the expected dividend payments from the selected security, basket of securities or index.
Security
Futures: A security futures contract is an exchange-traded contract
to purchase or sell, in the future, a specified quantity of a security (other than a Treasury security), or a narrow-based securities
index at a certain price.
Options
on Futures Contracts. Options on futures contracts are similar
to options on securities or currencies except that options on futures contracts give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium
paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put)
at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures contract
position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer’s
futures contract margin account.
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts.
A
forward foreign currency contract is an obligation to buy or sell a particular currency in exchange for another
currency, which may be U.S. dollars, at a specified exchange rate on a future date. Forward foreign currency contracts are typically individually
negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The Fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts with respect to a specific purchase or sale of a security, or with respect to its portfolio positions generally.
At
the maturity of a forward foreign currency contract, the Fund may either exchange the currencies specified
at the maturity of the contract or, prior to maturity, the Fund may enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of
an offsetting contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward foreign currency contracts may or may not be effected with the counterparty
to the original forward contract. The Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency contracts that do not provide for physical exchange
of the two currencies on the settlement date but instead provide for settlement by a single cash payment calculated as the difference
between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards).
Under
definitions adopted by the CFTC and SEC, non-deliverable forwards are considered swaps, and therefore are included in the definition of
“commodity interests.” Although non-deliverable forwards have
historically
been traded in the OTC market, as swaps they may in the future be required to be centrally cleared
and traded on public execution facilities. For more information on central clearing and trading of cleared swaps, see “Swaps”
and “Special Regulatory Risks of Derivatives.” Forward foreign currency contracts that qualify as deliverable forwards are
not regulated as swaps for most purposes, and are not included in the definition of “commodity interests.” However these
forwards are subject to some requirements applicable to swaps, including reporting to swap data repositories, documentation requirements,
and business conduct rules applicable to swap dealers. CFTC regulation of forward foreign currency contracts, especially non-deliverable
forwards, may restrict the Fund’s ability to use these instruments in the manner described above or subject Invesco to CFTC registration
and regulation as a CPO.
The
cost to the Fund of engaging in forward foreign currency contracts varies with factors such as the currencies
involved, the length of the contract period, differences in prevailing interest rates in the jurisdictions associated with the two currencies
and the prevailing market conditions. Because forward foreign currency contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no fees
or commissions are typically involved. The use of forward foreign currency contracts for hedging does not eliminate fluctuations in the
prices of the underlying securities the Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does establish a rate of exchange in advance. While forward
foreign currency contract sales limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currencies, they also limit any potential
gain that might result should the value of the currencies increase.
LIBOR
Transition Risk
A
Fund may have investments in financial instruments that utilize
the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate calculations (including variable
or floating rate debt securities
or loans and derivatives such as interest rate futures or swaps).
LIBOR is intended to measure the rate generally at which
banks
can lend and borrow from one another in the relevant currency on
an unsecured basis. LIBOR was a common benchmark interest rate index used to make adjustments to variable-rate debt instruments, to determine
interest rates for a variety of financial instruments and borrowing arrangements and as reference rate in derivative contracts. A Fund’s
investments may pay interest at variable or floating rates based on LIBOR, may be subject to interest caps or floors based on LIBOR or
may otherwise reference LIBOR as a reference rate to determine payment obligations
or financing terms.
In
the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the integrity of LIBOR was increasingly questioned because
several banks contributing to its calculation were accused of rate manipulation and because of a general contraction in the unsecured
interbank lending market. As a result, regulators and financial industry working groups in several jurisdictions have worked over the
past several years to identify alternative reference rates (ARRs) to replace LIBOR and to assist with the transition to the new ARRs.
The industry working group in the United States, the Alternative Reference Rate Committee, has recommended adoption of the Secured Overnight
Financing Rate (SOFR) as a replacement for USD LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of overnight borrowing of cash through repurchase
agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities.
In
connection with the LIBOR transition, on March 5, 2021 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the regulator
that oversees LIBOR, announced that the majority of LIBOR rates would cease to be published or would no longer be representative on January
1, 2022. Specifically, the publication of all settings of British Pound Sterling, Swiss Franc, Euro and Japanese Yen LIBOR, as well as
the 1-week and 2-month settings of U.S. Dollar (USD) LIBOR were phased out at the end of 2021. The remaining settings of USD LIBOR, which
are the most widely used in financial markets, will continue to be published until June 2023 to allow for an orderly transition away from
these rates. Additionally, key regulators have instructed banking institutions to cease entering into new contracts that reference these
remaining USD LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions.
There
remains uncertainty and risks relating to the continuing LIBOR transition and its effects on a Fund and the instruments in which a Fund
may invest. For example,
there can be no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any ARRs or financial instruments in which a Fund invests that utilize
ARRs
will
be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that these
instruments will have the same volume or liquidity. Additionally, although regulators have generally prohibited banking institutions from
entering into new contracts that reference those USD LIBOR settings that continue to exist,
there remains
uncertainty and risks relating to certain
“legacy”
USD LIBOR
instruments that were issued or entered into before December
31,
2021 and the process by which a replacement interest rate will
be identified and implemented into these instruments when USD LIBOR
is ultimately discontinued. While some
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments may contemplate a scenario where LIBOR is
no longer available by providing for an alternative or “fallback” rate-setting methodology, there may be significant uncertainty
regarding the effectiveness of such alternative or “fallback” methodologies to replicate USD LIBOR;
other
“legacy”
USD
LIBOR instruments may not include such “fallback”
rate-setting provisions at all. Certain legislation has been promulgated
that would replace references to USD LIBOR in certain
“legacy” USD LIBOR instruments with a specified
replacement rate, such as SOFR, by operation of law;
however there remains significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness
of any such legislation. As a result, the
ongoing LIBOR transition might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in, or a reduction in the value of,
“legacy”
USD LIBOR instruments held by a Fund; increased difficulty for
borrowers associated with these instruments to refinance, the proceeds of which are needed to repay a Fund; or diminished effectiveness
of any hedging strategies that a Fund may seek to implement in connection with these instruments. All of the foregoing may adversely affect
a Fund’s performance or NAV.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations
The
ESG considerations described herein may not be used by a Fund and will vary depending on a Fund's
particular investment strategy and in accordance with what a Fund’s investment team deems relevant when making investment decisions.
The ESG considerations described herein may not be applied or evaluated with respect to each issuer or Fund investment. Further, a Fund’s
prospectus may describe additional ESG strategies and risks.
ESG
considerations, either quantitative or qualitative, may be utilized as a component of a Fund's
investment process to implement its investment strategy in pursuit of its investment objective. ESG factors may be incorporated to evaluate
an issuer, as part of risk analysis, credit analysis or in other manners. ESG factors may vary across types of investments and issuers,
and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. The incorporation of ESG factors may affect a Fund’s exposure to certain
issuers or industries and may not work as intended. A Fund may underperform other funds that do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors
as part of the investment process or that use a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate ESG factors. Because ESG considerations
may be used as one part of an overall investment process, a Fund may still invest in securities of issuers that are not considered ESG-focused
or that may be viewed as having a high ESG risk profile. As investors can differ in their views regarding ESG factors, a Fund may invest
in issuers that do not reflect the views with respect to ESG of any particular investor. Information used by a Fund to evaluate such factors,
including information from reliance on third-party research and/or proprietary research, may not be readily available, complete or accurate,
and may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic, which could negatively impact a Fund’s
ability to accurately assess an issuer, which could negatively impact a Fund’s performance. There is no guarantee that the evaluation
of ESG considerations will be additive to a Fund’s performance.
Receipt
of Issuer’s Nonpublic Information
The
Adviser or Sub-Advisers (through their portfolio managers, analysts, or other representatives) may receive
material nonpublic information about an issuer that may restrict the ability of the Adviser or Sub-Advisers to cause the Fund to buy or
sell securities of the issuer on behalf of the Fund for substantial periods of time. This may impact the Fund's ability to realize profit
or avoid loss with respect to the issuer and may adversely affect the Fund's flexibility with respect to buying or selling securities,
potentially impacting Fund performance. For example, activist investors of certain issuers in which the Adviser or Sub-Advisers hold large
positions may contact representatives of the Adviser or Sub-Advisers and may disclose material nonpublic information in such communication.
The Adviser or Sub-Advisers would be restricted from trading on the basis
of
such material nonpublic information, limiting their flexibility in managing the Fund and possibly impacting Fund
performance.
Business
Continuity and Operational Risk
The
Adviser, the Funds and the Funds’ service providers may experience disruptions or operating errors, such
as processing errors or human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, systems or technology failures, or other disruptive
events, that could negatively impact and cause disruptions in normal business operations of the Adviser, the Funds or the Funds’
service providers. The Adviser has developed a Business Continuity Program (the “Program”) designed to minimize the disruption
of normal business operations in the event of an adverse incident affecting the Funds, the Adviser and/or its affiliates. The Program
is also designed to enable the Adviser to reestablish normal business operations in a timely manner during such an adverse incident; however,
there are inherent limitations in such programs (including the possibility that contingencies have not been anticipated and procedures
do not work as intended) and, under some circumstances (e.g. natural disasters, terrorism, public health crises, power or utility shortages
and failures, system failures or malfunctions), the Adviser, its affiliates, and any service providers or vendors used by the Adviser,
its affiliates, or the Fund could be prevented or hindered from providing services to the Funds for extended periods of time. These circumstances
could cause disruptions and negatively impact the Funds’ service providers and the Funds’ business operations, potentially
including an inability to process Fund shareholder transactions, an inability to calculate a Fund’s net asset value and price the
Fund’s investments, and impediments to trading portfolio securities.
Cybersecurity
Risk
With
the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund, like all companies, may be susceptible to operational,
information security and related risks. Cybersecurity incidents
involving the Fund and its service providers (including,
without limitation,
a Fund’s investment adviser,
sub-adviser,
fund accountant, custodian, transfer agent and financial intermediaries)
have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, impediments to trading,
the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations
of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or
additional compliance costs.
Cybersecurity
incidents can result from deliberate cyberattacks or unintentional events and may arise from
external or internal sources. Cyberattacks may include infection by malicious software or gaining unauthorized access to digital systems,
networks or devices that are used to service the Funds' operations (e.g., by “hacking” or “phishing”). Cyberattacks
may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites
(i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). These cyberattacks could cause the misappropriation of assets
or personal information, corruption of data or operational disruptions. Geopolitical tensions may, from time to time, increase the scale
and sophistication of deliberate cyberattacks.
Similar
adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity incidents affecting issuers of securities in which
the Fund invests, counterparties with which the Fund engage, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial
market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, other financial institutions and other parties. In addition, substantial
costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cybersecurity incidents in the future. Although the Funds’ service providers may
have established business continuity plans and risk management systems to mitigate cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance
that such plans or systems will be effective, or that all risks that exist, or may develop in the future, have been completely anticipated
and identified or can be protected against. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
Natural
Disaster/Epidemic Risk
Natural
or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe
weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics,
have
been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors,
industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value
of the Funds’ investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country,
market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including
the U.S. These disruptions could prevent the Funds from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively
impact the Funds’ ability to achieve their investment objectives. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on
the value and risk profile of the Funds.
COVID-19.
The COVID-19
strain of coronavirus has resulted in instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme volatility, liquidity constraints and increased
trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, disruptions
of healthcare systems, business operations (including business closures) and supply chains, layoffs, lower consumer demand and employee
availability, defaults and credit downgrades, among other significant economic impacts, all of which have disrupted global economic activity
across many industries and may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks, locally or globally and cause general
concern and uncertainty. The full economic impact and ongoing effects of COVID-19 (or other future epidemics or pandemics) at the macro-level
and on individual businesses are unpredictable and may result in significant and prolonged effects on a Fund's performance.
Fund
Policies
Fundamental
Restrictions. Except as otherwise noted below, the Fund is subject
to the following investment restrictions, which may be changed only by a vote of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Fundamental restrictions
may be changed only by a vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting if the holders of more
than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding
shares.
(1)
The Fund is a “diversified company” as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund will not purchase the securities
of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, as such statute, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the
SEC staff (collectively, the 1940 Act Laws and Interpretations) or except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive
order or similar relief (collectively, with the 1940 Act Laws and Interpretations, the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions).
In complying with this restriction, however, the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by
the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
(2)
The Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws,
Interpretations and Exemptions.
(3)
The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from
engaging in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund
may be considered to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act.
(4)
The Fund will concentrate (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations
and Exemptions) its investments in instruments of the group of industries in the financial securities sector.
(5)
The Fund may not purchase real estate or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities
or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from investing in issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions
in real estate or interests therein, or investing in securities that are secured by real estate or interests therein.
(6)
The Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act
and any other governing statute, and by the rules thereunder, and by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over the Fund.
(7)
The Fund may not make personal loans or loans of its assets to persons who control or are under common
control with the Fund, except to the extent permitted by 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. This restriction does not prevent
the Fund from, among other things, purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its assets to broker-dealers
or institutional investors, or investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests.
(8)
The Fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets
in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objectives, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
The
investment restrictions set forth above provide the Fund with the ability to operate under new interpretations
of the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC without receiving prior shareholder approval of the change. Even though the
Fund has this flexibility, the Board has adopted non-fundamental restrictions for the Fund relating to certain of these restrictions which
Invesco and, when applicable, the Sub-Advisers must follow in managing the Fund. Any changes to these non-fundamental restrictions, which
are set forth below, require the approval of the Board.
Explanatory
Note
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to industry concentration above, investments in tax-exempt
municipal securities where the payment of principal and interest for such securities is derived solely from a specific project associated
with an issuer that is not a governmental entity or a political subdivision of a government are subject to the Fund’s industry
concentration policy.
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to physical commodities above, the Fund is currently
permitted to invest in futures, swaps and other instruments on physical commodities and the 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning
commodities or contracts related to commodities.
The extent to which the Fund can invest in futures, swaps and
other instruments on physical commodities, and/or commodities or contracts related to commodities, is set out in the Fund’s prospectus,
this SAI, and as permitted by the Fund’s fundamental restriction.
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to real estate above, the 1940 Act does not prohibit
a fund from owning real estate. The extent to which the Fund can invest in real estate is set out in the investment strategies described
in the Fund’s prospectus or this SAI.
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to senior securities above, the 1940 Act prohibits
a fund from issuing a “senior security,” which is generally defined as any bond, debenture, note, or similar obligation
or instrument constituting a security and evidencing indebtedness, or any stock of a class having priority over any other class of the
fund’s shares with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of fund assets, except that the fund may borrow money
as described above.
For
purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to loans above, made by the Fund, current SEC
staff interpretations under the 1940 Act prohibit a fund from lending more than one-third of its total assets, except through the purchase
of debt obligations or the use of repurchase agreements.
Non-Fundamental
Restrictions. Non-fundamental restrictions may be changed for the
Fund without shareholder approval.
(1)
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, the Fund will not, with respect
to 75% of its total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or
any of its agencies or instrumentalities and securities issued by other investment companies), if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the
Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of that issuer. The Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations
and Exemptions.
In
complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, the Fund will regard each state
(including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United States, each
political
subdivision, agency, instrumentality and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state
is a member as a separate “issuer.” When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political
subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision and the security is backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision,
such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity Bond,
if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then that non-governmental user would be deemed to
be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another entity guarantees a security, then to the extent that the value of
all securities issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and owned by the Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets,
the guarantee would be considered a separate security and would be treated as issued by that government or entity. Securities issued or
guaranteed by a bank or subject to financial guaranty insurance are not subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence.
(2)
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding borrowing money and issuing senior securities, the
Fund may borrow money in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than
borrowings).
(3)
In complying with the fundamental restriction with regard to making loans, the Fund may lend up to 33 1/3%
of its total assets and may lend money to an Invesco Fund, on such terms and conditions as the SEC may require in an exemptive order.
(4)
Notwithstanding the fundamental restriction with regard to investing all assets in an open-end fund, the Fund
may not invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with the same fundamental investment
objective, policies, and restrictions as the Fund.
(5)
The Fund may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit
investment trusts in reliance on Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.
(6)
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in loans made to U.S. and foreign
borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities.
For
purposes of the foregoing, “assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment
purposes. Derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities described above for the Fund
may also be counted towards the Fund’s 80% policy. The Fund will provide written notice to its shareholders prior to any change
to this policy, as required by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
It
is the intention of the Fund, unless otherwise indicated, that with respect to the Fund’s policies that are a result of application
of law, the Fund will take advantage of the flexibility provided by rules or interpretations of the SEC currently in existence or promulgated
in the future, or changes to such laws.
Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund calculates its portfolio turnover rate by dividing the value of the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio
securities for the fiscal period by the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned by the Fund during the fiscal period.
A 100% portfolio turnover rate would occur, for example, if all of the portfolio securities (other than short-term securities) were replaced
once during the fiscal period. Portfolio turnover rates will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions.
Policies
and Procedures for Disclosure of Fund Holdings
The
Board has adopted policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund's portfolio holdings
(the Holdings Disclosure Policy). Invesco and the Board may amend the Holdings Disclosure Policy at any time without prior notice. Details
of the Holdings Disclosure Policy and a description of the basis on which employees of Invesco and its affiliates may release information
about portfolio securities in certain contexts are provided below. As used in the Holdings Disclosure Policy and throughout the SAI, the
term “portfolio holdings information” includes information with respect to the portfolio holdings of the Fund, including
holdings that are derivatives and holdings held as short positions. Information generally excluded
from
“portfolio holdings information” includes, without limitation, (i) descriptions of allocations among asset classes,
regions, countries, industries or sectors; (ii) aggregated data such as average or median ratios, market capitalization, credit quality
or duration; (iii) performance attributions by asset class, country, industry or sector; (iv) aggregated risk statistics, analysis and
simulations, such as stress testing; (v) the characteristics of the stock and bond components of the Fund’s portfolio holdings
and other investment positions; (vi) the volatility characteristics of the Fund; (vii) information on how various weightings and factors
contributed to Fund performance; (viii) various financial characteristics of the Fund or its underlying portfolio investments; and (ix)
other information where, in the reasonable belief of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer (or a designee), the release of such information
would not present risks of dilution, arbitrage, market timing, insider trading or other inappropriate trading for the applicable Fund.
Selective
disclosure of portfolio holdings information pursuant to non-disclosure agreement.
Employees of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose non-public
full portfolio holdings information on a selective basis only if Invesco approves the parties to whom disclosure of non-public full portfolio
holdings information will be made. Invesco must determine that the proposed selective disclosure will be made for business purposes of
the applicable Fund and is in the best interest of the applicable Fund’s shareholders. In making such determination, Invesco will
address any perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of such Fund and Invesco or its affiliates as part of granting its approval.
The
Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings information by (1) overseeing
the implementation and enforcement of the Holdings Disclosure Policy and the Invesco Funds’ Code of Ethics by the Chief Compliance
Officer (or his designee) of Invesco and the Invesco Funds and (2) considering reports and recommendations by the Chief Compliance Officer
concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment Advisers
Act of 1940, as amended (Advisers Act)) that may arise in connection with the Holdings Disclosure Policy. Pursuant to the Holdings Disclosure
Policy, the Board receives reports on the specific types of situations in which Invesco proposes to provide such selective disclosure
and the situations where providing selective disclosure raises perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of the applicable
Fund and Invesco or its affiliates. In any specific situation where Invesco addresses a perceived conflict, Invesco will report to the
Board on the persons to whom such disclosures are to be made and the treatment of any such conflicts before agreeing to provide selective
disclosure.
Invesco
discloses non-public full portfolio holdings information to the following persons in connection with the
day-to-day operations and management of the funds advised by Invesco (the Invesco Funds):
•
Attorneys
and accountants;
•
Securities
lending agents;
•
Lenders
to the Invesco Funds;
•
Rating
and rankings agencies;
•
Persons
assisting in the voting of proxies;
•
Invesco
Funds’ custodians;
•
The
Invesco Funds’ transfer agent(s) (in the event of a redemption in kind);
•
Pricing
services, market makers, or other fund accounting software providers (to determine the price of investments held by an Invesco Fund);
•
Brokers
identified by the Invesco Funds’ portfolio management team who provide execution and research services to the team; and
•
Analysts
hired to perform research and analysis for the Invesco Funds’ portfolio management team.
•
Insurance
companies which receive portfolio holdings information before Invesco posts portfolio holdings information to Invesco’s website
(to allow insurance companies to post portfolio holdings
information
to their websites at approximately the same time that Invesco posts portfolio holdings information to Invesco’s website).
In
many cases, Invesco will disclose current portfolio holdings information on a daily basis to these persons.
In these situations, Invesco has entered into non-disclosure agreements which provide that the recipient of the portfolio holdings information
will maintain the confidentiality of such portfolio holdings information and will not trade on such information (Non-disclosure Agreements).
Please refer to Appendix B for a list of examples of persons to whom Invesco provides non-public portfolio holdings information on an
ongoing basis.
Invesco
will also disclose non-public portfolio holdings information if such disclosure is required by applicable
laws, rules or regulations, or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over Invesco and its affiliates or the Invesco Funds, and
where there is no other way to transact the Funds’ business without disclosure of such portfolio holdings information.
The
Holdings Disclosure Policy provides that the Funds, Invesco or any other party in connection with the disclosure
of portfolio holdings information will not request, receive or accept any compensation (including compensation in the form of the maintenance
of assets in any Fund or other mutual fund or account managed by Invesco or one of its affiliates) for the selective disclosure of portfolio
holdings information.
Disclosure
of certain portfolio holdings information without non-disclosure agreement.
Invesco and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds, the Sub-Advisers and each of their employees may receive or have access
to portfolio holdings information as part of the day-to-day operations of the Funds.
From
time to time, employees of Invesco and its affiliates may express their views orally or in writing on one
or more of the Funds’ portfolio investments or may state that a Fund has recently purchased or sold, or continues to own, one or
more investments. The investments subject to these views and statements may be ones that were purchased or sold since the date on which
portfolio holdings information was made available on the Fund’s website and therefore may not be reflected on the portfolio holdings
disclosed on the website. Such views and statements may be made to various persons, including members of the press, shareholders in the
Fund, persons considering investing in the applicable Fund or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such as
fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan and their advisers. The nature and content of the views and statements provided to each of these persons
may differ.
Disclosure
of portfolio holdings information to traders. Additionally, employees
of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose one or more of the investments held by the Fund when purchasing and selling investments through
broker-dealers, futures commissions merchants, clearing agencies and other counterparties requesting bids on investments, obtaining price
quotations on investments, or in connection with litigation involving the Fund's portfolio investments. Invesco does not enter into formal
Non-Disclosure Agreements in connection with these situations; however, the Fund would not continue to conduct business with a person
who Invesco believed was misusing the disclosed information.
Disclosure
of portfolio holdings of other Invesco-managed products. Invesco
and its affiliates manage products sponsored by companies other than Invesco, including investment companies, offshore funds, and separate
accounts. In many cases, these other products are managed in a similar fashion to certain Invesco Funds (as defined herein) and thus have
similar portfolio holdings. The sponsors of these other products managed by Invesco and its affiliates may disclose the portfolio holdings
of their products at different times than Invesco discloses portfolio holdings for the Invesco Funds.

Management
Information
The
Trustees have the authority to take all actions that they consider necessary or appropriate in connection
with oversight of the Trust, including, among other things, approving the investment objectives, investment policies and fundamental investment
restrictions for the Funds. The Trust has entered into agreements with various service providers, including the Funds’ investment
advisers, administrator, transfer agent, distributor and custodians, to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Funds. The Trustees are
responsible for selecting these service providers, approving the terms of their contracts with the Funds, and exercising general oversight
of these arrangements on an ongoing basis.
Certain
Trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco and Invesco Ltd., the parent corporation
of Invesco. All of the Trust’s executive officers hold similar offices with some or all of the other Trusts.
Leadership
Structure and the Board of Trustees. The Board is currently composed
of eleven Trustees, including ten Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Funds, as that term is defined in the
1940 Act (collectively, the Independent Trustees and each, an Independent Trustee). In addition to eight regularly scheduled meetings
per year, the Board holds special meetings or informal conference calls to discuss specific matters that may require action prior to the
next regular meeting. As discussed below, the Board has established four standing committees – the Audit Committee, the Compliance
Committee, the Governance Committee and the Investments Committee (the Committees), to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.
The
Board has appointed an Independent Trustee to serve in the role of Chair. The Chair’s primary role is to
preside at meetings of the Board and act as a liaison with the Adviser and other service providers, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees
between meetings. The Chair also participates in the preparation of the agenda for the meetings of the Board, is active with mutual fund
industry organizations, and may perform such other functions as may be requested by the Board from time to time. Except for any duties
specified pursuant to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws, the designation of Chair does not impose on such Independent
Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member
of the Board generally.
The
Board believes that its leadership structure, including having an Independent Trustee as Chair, allows for
effective communication between the Trustees and management, among the Trustees and among the Independent Trustees. The existing Board
structure, including its Committee structure, provides the Independent Trustees with effective control over Board governance while also
allowing them to receive and benefit from insight from the interested Trustee who is an active officer of the Funds’ investment
adviser. The Board’s leadership structure promotes dialogue and debate, which the Board believes allows for the proper consideration
of matters deemed important to the Funds and their shareholders and results in effective decision-making.
Risk
Oversight. The Board considers risk management issues as part of
its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at its regular meetings and at regular meetings of its Committees. Invesco
prepares regular reports that address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees
also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board, a Committee or the Senior
Officer.
The
Board also considers liquidity risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities and
oversees the Trust's liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by Invesco personnel that
address liquidity matters. As required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees,
has approved the Trust's Liquidity Risk Management ("LRM") Program, which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Trust's liquidity
risk, and has appointed the LRM Program Administrator that is responsible for administering the LRM Program. The Board also reviews, no
less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the LRM Program Administrator that addresses, among other items, the operation
of the program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.
The
Audit Committee is apprised by, and discusses with, management its policies on risk assessment and risk
management. Such discussion includes a discussion of the guidelines governing the process by which risks are assessed and managed and
an identification of each Fund’s major financial risk exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee meets regularly with representatives
of Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within Invesco that affect
the Funds. The Audit Committee also oversees the Adviser’s process for valuing the Funds’ portfolio investments and receives
reports from management regarding its process and the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments
as consistent with the valuation
policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
The
Compliance Committee receives regular compliance reports prepared by Invesco’s compliance group and
meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. The Compliance
Committee has recommended and the Board has adopted compliance policies and procedures for the Funds and for the Funds’ service
providers. The compliance policies and procedures are designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal securities laws.
The
Governance Committee monitors the composition of the Board and each of its Committees and monitors
the qualifications of the Trustees to ensure adherence to certain governance undertakings applicable to the Funds. In addition, the Governance
Committee oversees an annual self-assessment of the Board and addresses governance risks, including insurance and fidelity bond matters,
for the Trust.
The
Investments Committee and its sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing
the investment performance of the Invesco Funds. In addition, Invesco’s Chief Investment Officers and the portfolio managers of
the Funds meet regularly with the Investments Committee or its sub-committees to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk,
such as the impact on the Funds of investments in particular types of securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that
a Fund changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally
is consulted in advance with respect to such change.

basis, in all registered investment companies overseen by the trustee within the Invesco Funds complex, is set forth in Appendix C.
Compensation
Each
Trustee who is not affiliated with Invesco is compensated for his or her services according to a fee schedule
that recognizes the fact that such Trustee also serves as a Trustee of other Invesco Funds. Each such Trustee receives a fee, allocated
among the Invesco Funds for which he or she serves as a Trustee that
consists
of an annual retainer component and a meeting fee component. The Chair of the Board and of each Committee
and Sub-Committee receive additional compensation for their services.
Information
regarding compensation paid or accrued for each Trustee of the Trust who was not affiliated with
Invesco during the year ended December 31, 2021 is found in Appendix D.
Retirement
Policy
The
Trustees have adopted a retirement policy that permits each Trustee to serve until December 31 of the
year in which the Trustee turns 75.
Pre-Amendment
Retirement Plan For Trustees
The
Trustees have adopted a Retirement Plan for the Trustees who are not affiliated with the Adviser. A description
of the pre-amendment Retirement Plan follows. Annual retirement benefits are available from the Funds and/or the other Invesco Funds for
which a Trustee serves (each, a Covered Fund), for each Trustee who is not an employee or officer of the Adviser, who either (a) became
a Trustee prior to December 1, 2008, and who has at least five years of credited service as a Trustee (including service to a predecessor
fund) of a Covered Fund, or (b) was a member of the Board of Trustees of a Van Kampen Fund immediately prior to June 1, 2010 (Former Van
Kampen Trustee), and has at least one year of credited service as a Trustee of a Covered Fund after June 1, 2010.
For
Trustees other than Former Van Kampen Trustees, effective January 1, 2006, for retirements after December
31, 2005, the retirement benefits will equal 75% of the Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect
to such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred
compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and the Trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional
compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board
committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments
for a number of years equal to the lesser of (i) sixteen years or (ii) the number of such Trustee’s credited years of service.
If a Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s
designated beneficiary for the same length of time that the Trustee would have received the payments based on his or her service or, if
the Trustee has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment. A Trustee must have attained the age of 65 (60 in the event of disability)
to receive any retirement benefit. A Trustee may make an irrevocable election to commence payment of retirement benefits upon retirement
from the Board before age 72; in such a case, the annual retirement benefit is subject to a reduction for early payment.
If
the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes at least 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the retirement
benefit will equal 75% of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s annual retainer paid to or accrued by any Covered Fund with respect to
such Trustee during the twelve-month period prior to retirement, including the amount of any retainer deferred under a separate deferred
compensation agreement between the Covered Fund and such Trustee. The amount of the annual retirement benefit does not include additional
compensation paid for Board meeting fees or compensation paid to the Chair of the Board and the Chairs and Vice Chairs of certain Board
committees, whether such amounts are paid directly to the Trustee or deferred. The annual retirement benefit is payable in quarterly installments
for 10 years beginning after the later of the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s termination of service or attainment of age 72 (or age
60 in the event of disability or immediately in the event of death). If a Former Van Kampen Trustee dies prior to receiving the full amount
of retirement benefits, the remaining payments will be made to the deceased Trustee’s designated beneficiary or, if the Trustee
has elected, in a discounted lump sum payment.
If
the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes less than 10 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the
retirement benefit will be payable at the applicable time described in the preceding paragraph, but will be paid in two components successively.
For the period of time equal to the Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the first component
of the annual retirement benefit will equal 75% of
the
compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph. Thereafter, for the period of time equal to the
Former Van Kampen Trustee’s years of credited service after June 1, 2010, the second component of the annual retirement benefit
will equal the excess of (x) 75% of the compensation amount described in the preceding paragraph, over (y) $68,041 plus an interest factor
of 4% per year compounded annually measured from June 1, 2010 through the first day of each year for which payments under this second
component are to be made. In no event, however, will the retirement benefits under the two components be made for a period of time greater
than 10 years. For example, if the Former Van Kampen Trustee completes 7 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will
receive 7 years of payments under the first component and thereafter 3 years of payments under the second component, and if the Former
Van Kampen Trustee completes 4 years of credited service after June 1, 2010, he or she will receive 4 years of payments under the first
component and thereafter 4 years of payments under the second component.
Amendment
of Retirement Plan and Conversion to Defined Contribution Plan
The
Trustees approved an amendment to the Retirement Plan to convert it to a defined contribution plan for
active Trustees (the Amended Plan). Under the Amended Plan, the benefit amount was amended for each active Trustee to the present value
of the Trustee’s existing retirement plan benefit as of December 31, 2013 (the Existing Plan Benefit) plus the present value of
retirement benefits expected to be earned under the Retirement Plan through the end of the calendar year in which the Trustee attained
age 75 (the Expected Future Benefit and, together with the Existing Plan Benefit, the Accrued Benefit). On the conversion date, the Covered
Funds established bookkeeping accounts in the amount of their pro rata share of the Accrued Benefit, which is deemed to be invested in
one or more Invesco Funds selected by the participating Trustees. Such accounts will be adjusted from time to time to reflect deemed investment
earnings and losses. Each Trustee’s Accrued Benefit is not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the accounts,
the participating Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Covered Funds. Trustees will be paid the adjusted account balance
under the Amended Plan in quarterly installments for the same period as described above.
Deferred
Compensation Agreements
Seven
former Trustees, as well as Messrs. LaCava, Motley, Troccoli
and Vandivort, Mss. Hostetler and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis
(for purposes of this paragraph only, the Deferring Trustees) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement (collectively, the
Compensation Agreements). Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees have the option to elect to defer receipt of
up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Funds, and such amounts are placed into a deferral account and deemed to be invested in
one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees.
Distributions
from these deferral accounts will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over
a period of up to ten (10) years (depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement.
If a Deferring Trustee dies prior to the distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will
be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary. The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts
held in the deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Funds and of each other Invesco Fund
from which they are deferring compensation.
Code
of Ethics
Invesco,
the Trust, Invesco Distributors and certain of the Sub-Advisers each have adopted a Code of Ethics
that applies to all Invesco Fund trustees and officers, and employees of Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, and governs,
among other things, the personal trading activities of all such persons. Certain Sub-Advisers have adopted their own Code of Ethics. Each
Code of Ethics is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by portfolio managers and certain other employees that could
compete with or take advantage of the Fund’s portfolio transactions. Unless specifically noted, to the extent a Sub-Adviser has
adopted its own Code of Ethics, each Sub-Adviser’s Code of Ethics does not materially differ from Invesco’s Code of Ethics
discussed below. The Code of Ethics is intended to address conflicts of interest with the Trust that may arise from personal trading in
the Invesco Funds. Personal trading, including personal trading
involving
securities that may be purchased or held by an Invesco Fund, is permitted under the Code of Ethics subject
to certain restrictions; however, employees are required to pre-clear security transactions with the Compliance Officer or a designee
and to report transactions on a regular basis.
Proxy
Voting Policies
Invesco
has adopted its own specific Proxy Voting Policies.
The
Board has delegated responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities held by each Fund
to the following Adviser/Sub-Adviser(s):
|
|
|
Invesco
Advisers, Inc./Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. |
Invesco
(the Proxy Voting Entity) will vote such proxies in accordance with its proxy voting policies and procedures,
as outlined above, which have been reviewed and approved by the Board, and which are found in Appendix E. Any material changes to the
proxy voting policies and procedures will be submitted to the Board for approval. The Board will be supplied with a summary quarterly
report of the Fund’s proxy voting record. Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies related to its portfolio securities
during the twelve months ended June 30, 2022 is available without charge at our website,
http://www.invesco.com/us.

INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES
Investment
Adviser
Invesco
serves as the Fund's investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund
as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for

As
investment adviser, Invesco supervises all aspects of the Fund's operations and provides investment advisory
services to the Fund. Invesco obtains and evaluates economic, statistical and financial information to formulate and implement investment
programs for the Fund. The Master Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) provides that, in fulfilling its responsibilities,
Invesco may engage the services of other investment managers with respect to one or more of the Fund. The investment advisory services
of Invesco are not exclusive and Invesco is free to render investment advisory services to others, including other investment companies.
Pursuant
to an administrative services agreement with the Fund, Invesco is also responsible for furnishing to
the Fund, at Invesco’s expense, the services of persons believed to be competent to perform all supervisory and administrative
services required by the Fund, which in the judgment of the trustees, are necessary to conduct the business of the Fund effectively, as
well as the offices, equipment and other facilities necessary for its operations. Such functions include the maintenance of the Fund’s
accounts and records, and the preparation of all requisite corporate documents such as tax returns and reports to the SEC and shareholders.
The
Advisory Agreement provides that the Fund will pay or cause to be paid all expenses of the Fund not assumed
by Invesco, including, without limitation: brokerage commissions, taxes, legal, auditing or governmental fees, custodian, transfer and
shareholder service agent costs, expenses of issue, sale, redemption, and repurchase of shares, expenses of registering and qualifying
shares for sale, expenses relating to trustee and shareholder meetings, the cost of preparing and distributing reports and notices to

Pursuant
to its Advisory Agreement with the Trust, Invesco receives a monthly fee from the Fund calculated

Annual
Rate/Net Assets Per Advisory Agreement* |
|

*The
advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco.
Invesco
may from time to time waive or reduce its fee. Voluntary fee waivers or reductions may be rescinded
at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers or reductions, Invesco will retain its ability
to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the end of the respective fiscal year in which the voluntary fee waiver or reduction was made.
Invesco
has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2024, to waive
advisory fees payable by the Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco receives from the Affiliated Money Market
Funds as a result of the Fund’s investment of uninvested cash in the Affiliated Money Market Funds. See “Description of
the Fund and Its Investments and Risks – Investment Strategies and Risks – Other Investments – Other Investment Companies.”
Invesco
also has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary
to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expenses on short sales; (iv) extraordinary
or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an
expense offset arrangement, if applicable). The expense limitation is as follows:

Acquired
Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of the Fund directly, but are fees and expenses,
including management fees of the investment companies in which the Fund invests. As a result, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement may exceed the Fund’s expense limit.
If
applicable, such contractual fee waivers or reductions are set forth in the fee table to the Fund’s Prospectus.
Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreements, they will terminate as indicated above. During their terms, the fee waiver agreements
cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board.
The
management fees are found in Appendix G.

only fees payable to the Sub-Advisers described above under the Sub-Advisory Agreements are for providing
discretionary investment management services. For such services, Invesco will pay each Sub-Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly,
equal to (i) 40% of the monthly compensation that Invesco receives from the Trust, multiplied by (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets
of such Fund as to which such Sub-Adviser shall have provided discretionary investment management services for that month divided by the
net assets of such Fund for that month. Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, this fee is reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary
fee waivers or expense limitations by Invesco, if any, in effect from time to time. In no event shall the aggregate monthly fees paid
to the Sub-Advisers under the Sub-Advisory Agreement exceed 40% of the monthly compensation that Invesco receives from the Trust pursuant
to its advisory agreement with the Trust, as reduced to reflect contractual or voluntary fee waivers or expense limitations by Invesco,
if any.
Invesco
has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with another affiliate, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., also
a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Fund. Under the sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a percentage of the net investment
advisory fee (after all applicable waivers) that it receives from the Fund as compensation for the provision of investment advisory services.
The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is paid by the Adviser, not by the Fund.
Invesco
and each Sub-Adviser are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
Service
Agreements
Administrative
Services Agreement. Invesco and the Trust have entered into a Master
Administrative Services Agreement (Administrative Services Agreement) pursuant to which Invesco may perform or arrange for the provision
of certain accounting and other administrative services to the Fund which are not required to be performed by Invesco under the Advisory
Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement provides that it will remain in effect and continue from year to year only if such continuance
is specifically approved at least annually by the Board, including the independent trustees. Under the Administrative Services
Agreement,
Invesco is entitled to receive from the Fund reimbursement of its costs or such reasonable compensation.
The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the Administrative Services Agreement. Currently,
Invesco is reimbursed for the services of the Trust’s principal financial officer and her staff and any expenses related to fund
accounting services.
Administrative
services fees paid to Invesco by the Fund for the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable,
ended August 31 are found in Appendix I.

relating to the procurement of goods and services as they relate to its obligations under the TA Agreement. In addition, all fees payable
by Invesco Investment Services or its affiliates to third party intermediaries who service accounts pursuant to sub-transfer agency, omnibus
account services and sub-accounting agreements are charged back to the Fund, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board of the
Trust as reflected in Board-approved policies. These payments are made in consideration of services that would otherwise be provided by
Invesco Investment Services if the accounts serviced by such intermediaries were serviced by Invesco Investment Services directly. For
more information regarding such payments to intermediaries, see the discussion under “Sub-Accounting and Networking Support Payments”

Custodian
State
Street Bank and Trust Company (the Custodian), 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110,
is custodian of all securities and cash of the Funds (unless otherwise stated below). The Bank of New York Mellon, 2 Hanson Place, Brooklyn,
New York 11217-1431, also serves as sub-custodian to facilitate cash management.
The
Custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling each Fund's portfolio securities and handling
the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. These services do not include any supervisory function over management or provide
any protection against any possible depreciation of assets.
The
Custodian and sub-custodian are authorized to establish separate accounts in foreign countries and to
cause foreign securities owned by the Funds to be held outside the United States in branches of U.S. banks and, to the extent permitted
by applicable regulations, in certain foreign banks and securities depositories. Invesco is responsible for selecting eligible foreign
securities depositories and for assessing the risks associated with investing in foreign countries, including the risk of using eligible
foreign securities’ depositories in a country. The Custodian is responsible for monitoring eligible foreign securities depositories.
Under
its contract with the Trust, the Custodian maintains the portfolio securities of the Fund, administers the
purchases and sales of portfolio securities, collects interest and dividends and other distributions made on the securities held in the
portfolios of the Fund and performs other ministerial duties. These services do not include any supervisory function over management or

Securities
Lending Arrangements
The
Fund may participate in a securities lending program pursuant to a securities lending agreement that establishes
the terms of the loan, including collateral requirements. The Fund participating in the securities lending program may lend securities
to securities brokers and other borrowers.
Under
the securities lending program, Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon) served as a securities lending
agent for certain of the Funds' most recently completed fiscal year. On September 29, 2021, the Board appointed Invesco to serve as an
affiliated securities lending agent for the Fund under the securities lending program. Invesco served as an affiliated securities lending
agent for the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year.
To
the extent the Fund utilizes Invesco as an affiliated securities lending agent, the Fund conducts its securities lending in accordance
with and in reliance upon no-action letters issued by the SEC staff that provide guidance on how an affiliate may act as a direct agent
lender and receive compensation for those services without obtaining exemptive relief. The Board has approved policies and procedures
that govern the Fund's
securities lending activities when utilizing an affiliated securities lending agent, such as Invesco, consistent with the guidance set
forth in the no-action letters.
Invesco
serves as a securities lending agent to other clients in addition to the Fund. There are potential conflicts
of interests involved in the Fund's use of Invesco as an affiliated securities lending agent, including but not limited to: (i) Invesco
as securities lending agent may have an incentive to increase or decrease the amount of securities on loan, lend particular securities,
delay or forgo calling securities on loans, or lend securities to less creditworthy borrowers, in order to generate additional fees for
Invesco and its affiliates; and (ii) Invesco as securities lending agent may have an incentive to allocate loans to clients that would
provide more fees to Invesco. Invesco seeks to mitigate these potential conflicts of interest by utilizing a methodology designed to provide
its securities lending clients with equal lending opportunities over time.
In
addition, the Advisory Agreement describes administrative services to be rendered by Invesco under such
Advisory Agreement if a Fund engages in securities lending activities, as well as the compensation Invesco may receive for such administrative
services. Services to be provided include, where applicable: (a)
overseeing
participation in the securities lending program to ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory and
investment guidelines; (b) assisting the securities lending agent or principal in determining which specific securities are available
for loan; (c) monitoring the securities lending agent to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Invesco’s
instructions and with procedures adopted by the Board; (d) preparing appropriate periodic reports for, and seeking appropriate approvals
from, the Board with respect to securities lending activities; (e) responding to securities lending agent inquiries; and (f)
performing such other duties as may be necessary. Invesco also monitors the creditworthiness of the securities lending agent and borrowers
to ensure that securities loans are effected in accordance with Invesco’s risk policies. The Advisory Agreement authorizes Invesco
to receive a separate fee equal to 25% of the net monthly interest or fee income retained or paid to the Fund for the administrative services
that Invesco renders in connection with securities lending. Invesco has contractually agreed, however, not to charge this fee under the
Advisory Agreement and to obtain Board approval prior to charging such a fee in the future.
Portfolio
Managers
Appendix
H contains the following information regarding the portfolio managers identified in the Fund’s prospectus:
•
The
dollar range of the managers’ investments in the Fund.
•
A
description of the managers’ compensation structure.
•
Information
regarding other accounts managed and potential conflicts of interest that might arise from the management of multiple accounts.
BROKERAGE
ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES
The
Sub-Advisers have adopted compliance procedures that cover, among other items, brokerage allocation
and other trading practices. If all or a portion of the Fund’s assets are managed by one or more Sub-Advisers, the decision to
buy and sell securities and broker selection will be made by the Sub-Adviser for the assets it manages. Unless specifically noted, the
Sub-Advisers brokerage allocation procedures do not materially differ from Invesco Advisers, Inc.’s procedures.
As
discussed below, Invesco and the Sub-Advisers, unless prohibited by applicable law, may cause the Fund
to pay a broker-dealer a commission for effecting a transaction that exceeds the amount another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting
the same transaction in recognition of the value of brokerage and research services provided by that broker-dealer. Effective January
3, 2018, under the European Union’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), European Union investment advisers,
including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to certain Invesco Funds as described in such
Funds' prospectuses, must pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their own resources, rather than through client commissions.
Brokerage
Transactions
Placing
trades generally involves acting on portfolio manager instructions to buy or sell a specified amount
of portfolio securities, including selecting one or more broker-dealers, including affiliated and third-party broker-dealers, to execute
the trades, and negotiating commissions and spreads. Various Invesco Ltd. subsidiaries have created a global equity trading desk. The
global equity trading desk has assigned local traders in six primary trading centers to place equity securities trades in their regions.
Invesco Advisers’ Americas desk, located in Atlanta and Toronto, generally places trades of equity securities trading in North
America, Canada and Latin America; the Hong Kong desk of Invesco Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Desk) generally places trades of equity securities
in the Asia-Pacific markets, except Japan and China; the Japan trading desk of Invesco Japan generally places trades of equity securities
in the Japanese markets; the EMEA trading desk of Invesco Asset Management Limited (the EMEA Desk) generally places trades of equity securities
in European, Middle Eastern and African countries; the Australia desk, located in Sydney and Melbourne, for the execution of orders of
equity securities trading in the Australian and New Zealand markets and the Taipei desk, located in Taipei, for the execution of orders
of securities trading in the Chinese market.
Invesco,
Invesco Canada, Invesco Japan, Invesco Deutschland, Invesco Hong Kong, Invesco Capital and Invesco
Asset Management use the global equity trading desk to place equity trades. Other Sub-Advisers may use the global equity trading desk
in the future. The trading procedures for the global trading desks are similar in all material respects.
References
in the language below to actions by Invesco or a Sub-Adviser making determinations or taking
actions related to equity trading include these entities’ delegation of these determinations/actions to the Americas Desk, the
Hong Kong Desk, and the EMEA Desk. Even when trading is delegated by Invesco or the Sub-Advisers to the various arms of the global equity
trading desk, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers that delegate trading is responsible for oversight of this trading activity.
Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers make decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund, select broker-dealers (each,
a Broker), effect the Fund's investment portfolio transactions, allocate brokerage fees in such transactions and, where applicable, negotiate
commissions and spreads on transactions. Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration in effecting a security transaction
is to obtain best execution, which Invesco defines as prompt and efficient execution of the transaction at the best obtainable price with
payment of commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs which are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage services provided by the
Broker. While Invesco or the Sub-Advisers seek reasonably competitive commission rates, the Fund may not pay the lowest commission or
spread available. See “Broker Selection” below.
Some
of the securities in which the Fund invests are traded in OTC markets. Portfolio transactions in such
markets may be effected on a principal basis at net prices without commissions, but which include compensation to the Broker in the form
of a mark-up or mark-down, or on an agency basis, which involves the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions to the Broker, including
electronic communication networks. Purchases of underwritten issues, which include initial public offerings and secondary offerings, include
a commission or concession paid by the issuer (not the Fund) to the underwriter. Purchases of money market instruments may be made directly
from issuers without the payment of commissions.
Historically,
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers did not negotiate commission rates on stock markets outside the
United States. In recent years many overseas stock markets have adopted a system of negotiated rates; however, a number of markets maintain
an established schedule of minimum commission rates.
In
some cases, Invesco may decide to place trades on a “blind principal bid” basis, which involves combining
all trades for one or more portfolios into a single basket, and generating a description of the characteristics of the basket for provision
to potential executing brokers. Based on the trade characteristics information provided by Invesco, these brokers submit bids for executing
all of the required trades at a designated time for a specific commission rate. Invesco generally selects the broker with the lowest bid
to execute these trades.
Commissions
The
Fund may engage in certain principal and agency transactions with banks and their affiliates that own 5%
or more of the outstanding voting securities of an Invesco Fund, provided the conditions of an exemptive order received by the Invesco
Funds from the SEC are met. In addition, the Fund may purchase or sell a security from or to certain other Invesco Funds or other accounts
(and may invest in the Affiliated Money Market Funds) provided the Fund follows procedures adopted by the Boards of the various Invesco
Funds, including the Trust. These inter-fund transactions generally do not generate brokerage commissions but may result in custodial
fees or taxes or other related expenses.
Brokerage
commissions paid by each of the Funds during the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable,
ended August 31 are found in Appendix J.
Broker
Selection
Invesco’s
or the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration in selecting Brokers to execute portfolio transactions for
the Fund is to obtain best execution. In selecting a Broker to execute a portfolio transaction in equity securities for the Fund, Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers consider the full range and quality of a Broker’s services,
including
the value of research and/or brokerage services provided (if permitted by applicable law or regulation),
execution capability, commission rate, and willingness to commit capital, anonymity and responsiveness. Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’
primary consideration when selecting a Broker to execute a portfolio transaction in fixed income securities for the Fund is the Broker’s
ability to deliver or sell the relevant fixed income securities; however, Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will, if permitted by applicable
law or regulation, also consider the various factors listed above. In each case, the determinative factor is not the lowest commission
or spread available but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution for the Fund. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will
not select Brokers based upon their promotion or sale of Fund shares.
Unless
prohibited by applicable law, such as MiFID II (described herein), in choosing Brokers to execute portfolio
transactions for the Fund, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may select Brokers that provide brokerage and/or research services (Soft Dollar
Products) to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which Invesco and its affiliates have investment discretion. For the avoidance of
doubt, European Union investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to
certain Invesco Funds as described in such Funds’ prospectuses, must pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their
own resources, rather than through client commissions. Therefore, the use of the defined term “Sub-Advisers” throughout
this section shall not be deemed to apply to those Sub-Advisers subject to the MiFID II prohibitions. Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act,
provides that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers, under certain circumstances, lawfully may cause an account to pay a higher commission than
the lowest available. Under Section 28(e)(1), Invesco or the Sub-Advisers must make a good faith determination that the commissions paid
are “reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided ... viewed in terms of either that particular
transaction or [Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’] overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to which [it] exercises
investment discretion.” The services provided by the Broker also must lawfully and appropriately assist Invesco or the Sub-Advisers
in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities. Accordingly, the Fund may pay a Broker commissions higher than
those available from another Broker in recognition of the Broker’s provision of Soft Dollar Products to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers.
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers face a potential conflict of interest when they use client trades to obtain Soft
Dollar Products. This conflict exists because Invesco and the Sub-Advisers are able to use the Soft Dollar Products to manage client accounts
without paying cash for the Soft Dollar Products, which reduces Invesco’s or a Sub-Adviser’s expenses to the extent that
Invesco or such Sub-Adviser would have purchased such products had they not been provided by Brokers. Section 28(e) permits Invesco or
the Sub-Advisers to use Soft Dollar Products for the benefit of any account it manages. Certain Invesco-managed accounts (or accounts
managed by the Sub-Advisers) may generate soft dollars used to purchase Soft Dollar Products that ultimately benefit other Invesco-managed
accounts (or Sub-Adviser-managed accounts), effectively cross subsidizing the other Invesco-managed accounts (or the other Sub-Adviser-managed
accounts) that benefit directly from the product. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may not use all of the Soft Dollar Products provided by
Brokers through which the Fund effects securities transactions in connection with managing the Fund whose trades generated the soft dollars
used to purchase such products.
Invesco
presently engages in the following instances of cross-subsidization:
Fixed
income funds normally do not generate soft dollar commissions to pay for Soft Dollar Products. Therefore,
soft dollar commissions used to pay for Soft Dollar Products which are used to manage certain fixed income Invesco Funds are generated
entirely by equity Invesco Funds and other equity client accounts managed by Invesco. In other words, certain fixed income Invesco Funds
are cross-subsidized by the equity Invesco Funds in that the fixed income Invesco Funds receive the benefit of Soft Dollar Products services
for which they do not pay. Similarly, other accounts managed by Invesco or certain of its affiliates may benefit from Soft Dollar Products
services for which they do not pay.
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers attempt to reduce or eliminate the potential conflicts of interest concerning the
use of Soft Dollar Products by directing client trades for Soft Dollar Products only if Invesco or the Sub-Adviser concludes that the
Broker supplying the product is capable of providing best execution.
Certain
Soft Dollar Products may be available directly from a vendor on a hard dollar basis; other Soft Dollar
Products are available only through Brokers in exchange for soft dollars. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser use soft dollars to purchase two
types of Soft Dollar Products:
•
proprietary
research created by the Broker executing the trade, and
•
other
products created by third parties that are supplied to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers through the Broker executing the trade.
Proprietary
research consists primarily of traditional research reports, recommendations and similar materials
produced by the in-house research staffs of broker-dealer firms. This research includes evaluations and recommendations of specific companies
or industry groups, as well as analyses of general economic and market conditions and trends, market data, contacts and other related
information and assistance. Invesco periodically rates the quality of proprietary research produced by various Brokers. Based on the evaluation
of the quality of information that Invesco receives from each Broker, Invesco develops an estimate of each Broker’s share of Invesco
clients’ commission dollars and attempts to direct trades to these firms to meet these estimates.
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers also use soft dollars to acquire products from third parties that are supplied to
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers through Brokers executing the trades or other Brokers who “step in” to a transaction and receive
a portion of the brokerage commission for the trade. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may from time to time instruct the executing Broker to
allocate or “step out” a portion of a transaction to another Broker. The Broker to which Invesco or the Sub-Advisers have
“stepped out” would then settle and complete the designated portion of the transaction, and the executing Broker would settle
and complete the remaining portion of the transaction that has not been “stepped out.” Each Broker may receive a commission
or brokerage fee with respect to that portion of the transaction that it settles and completes.
Soft
Dollar Products received from Brokers supplement Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ own research (and
the research of certain of its affiliates), and may include the following types of products and services:
•
Database
Services – comprehensive databases containing current and/or historical information on companies and industries and indices. Examples
include historical securities prices, earnings estimates and financial data. These services may include software tools that allow the
user to search the database or to prepare value-added analyses related to the investment process (such as forecasts and models used in
the portfolio management process).
•
Quotation/Trading/News
Systems – products that provide real time market data information, such as pricing of individual securities and information on
current trading, as well as a variety of news services.
•
Economic
Data/Forecasting Tools – various macro economic forecasting tools, such as economic data or currency and political forecasts for
various countries or regions.
•
Quantitative/Technical
Analysis – software tools that assist in quantitative and technical analysis of investment data.
•
Fundamental/Industry
Analysis – industry specific fundamental investment research.
•
Fixed
Income Security Analysis – data and analytical tools that pertain specifically to fixed income securities. These tools assist in
creating financial models, such as cash flow projections and interest rate sensitivity analyses, which are relevant to fixed income securities.
•
Other
Specialized Tools – other specialized products, such as consulting analyses, access to industry experts, and distinct investment
expertise such as forensic accounting or custom built investment-analysis software.
If
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers determine that any service or product has a mixed use (i.e., it also serves functions
that do not assist the investment decision-making or trading process), Invesco or the Sub-Advisers
will
allocate the costs of such service or product accordingly in its reasonable discretion. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers
will allocate brokerage commissions to Brokers only for the portion of the service or product that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers determine
assists it in the investment decision-making or trading process and will pay for the remaining value of the product or service in cash.
Outside
research assistance is useful to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers because the Brokers used by Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers tend to provide more in-depth analysis of a broader universe of securities and other matters than Invesco’s
or the Sub-Advisers’ staff follows. In addition, such services provide Invesco or the Sub-Advisers with a diverse perspective on
financial markets. Some Brokers may indicate that the provision of research services is dependent upon the generation of certain specified
levels of commissions and underwriting concessions by Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ clients, including the Fund. However,
the Fund is not under any obligation to deal with any Broker in the execution of transactions in portfolio securities. In some cases,
Soft Dollar Products are available only from the Broker providing them. In other cases, Soft Dollar Products may be obtainable from alternative
sources in return for cash payments. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that because Broker research supplements rather than replaces
Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ research, the receipt of such research tends to improve the quality of Invesco’s or
the Sub-Advisers’ investment advice. The advisory fee paid by the Fund is not reduced because Invesco or the Sub-Advisers receive
such services. To the extent the Fund's portfolio transactions are used to obtain Soft Dollar Products, the brokerage commissions obtained
by the Fund might exceed those that might otherwise have been paid.
Invesco
or the Sub-Advisers may determine target levels of brokerage business with various Brokers on behalf
of its clients (including the Fund) over a certain time period. Invesco determines target levels based upon the following factors, among
others: (1) the execution services provided by the Broker; and (2) the research services provided by the Broker. Portfolio transactions
may be effected through Brokers that recommend the Fund to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of the Fund’s shares
for their clients, provided that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers believe such Brokers provide best execution and such transactions are executed
in compliance with Invesco’s policy against using directed brokerage to compensate Brokers for promoting or selling Invesco Fund
shares. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will not enter into a binding commitment with Brokers to place trades with such Brokers involving
brokerage commissions in precise amounts.
As
noted above, under MiFID II, European Union investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco
Asset Management, are not permitted to use Soft Dollar Products to pay for research from brokers but rather must pay for research out
of their own profit and loss or have research costs paid by clients through research payment accounts that are funded by a specific client
research charge or the research component of trade orders. Such payments for research must be unbundled from the payments for execution.
As a result, Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management are restricted from using Soft Dollar Products in managing the Invesco Funds
that they sub-advise.
Directed
Brokerage (Research Services)
Directed
brokerage (research services) commissions during the fiscal year or period, as applicable, ended
August 31 are found in Appendix K.
Affiliated
Transactions
The
Adviser or Sub-Adviser may place trades with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. (ICMI), a broker-dealer with
whom it is affiliated, provided the Adviser or Sub-Adviser determines that ICMI’s trade execution abilities and costs are at least
comparable to those of non-affiliated brokerage firms with which the Adviser or Sub-Adviser could otherwise place similar trades. ICMI
receives brokerage commissions in connection with effecting trades for the Fund and, therefore, use of ICMI presents a conflict of interest
for the Adviser or Sub-Adviser. Trades placed through ICMI, including the brokerage commissions paid to ICMI, are subject to procedures
adopted by the Board.
Regular
Brokers
Information
concerning the Fund's acquisition of securities of its brokers during the last fiscal
year or period, as applicable, ended August 31 is found in Appendix K.
Allocation
of Portfolio Transactions
Invesco
and the Sub-Advisers manage numerous Invesco Funds and other accounts. Some of these accounts
may have investment objectives similar to the Fund. Occasionally, identical securities will be appropriate for investment by multiple
Invesco Funds or other accounts. However, the position of each account in the same security and the length of time that each account may
hold its investment in the same security may vary. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will also determine the timing and amount of purchases
for an account based on its cash position. If the purchase or sale of securities is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund(s)
and one or more other accounts, and is considered at or about the same time, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate transactions in
such securities among the Fund(s) and these accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size or in such other manner believed by Invesco
to be fair and equitable. In determining what is fair and equitable, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser can consider various factors, including
how closely the investment opportunity matches the investment objective and strategy of the Fund or account, the capital available to
the Fund or account, and which portfolio management team sourced the opportunity. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may combine transactions
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations to obtain the most favorable execution. Simultaneous transactions could, however, adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to obtain or dispose of the full amount of a security which it seeks to purchase or sell.
Allocation
of Initial Public Offering (IPO) Transactions
Certain
of the Invesco Funds or other accounts managed by Invesco may become interested in participating
in IPOs. Purchases of IPOs by one Invesco Fund or other accounts may also be considered for purchase by one or more other Invesco Funds
or accounts. Invesco combines indications of interest for IPOs for all Invesco Funds and accounts participating in purchase transactions
for that IPO. When the full amount of all IPO orders for such Invesco Funds and accounts cannot be filled completely, Invesco shall allocate
such transactions in accordance with the following procedures.
Invesco
or the Sub-Adviser may determine the eligibility of each Invesco Fund and account that seeks to participate
in a particular IPO by reviewing a number of factors, including market capitalization/liquidity suitability and sector/style suitability
of the investment with the Invesco Fund’s or account’s investment objective, policies, strategies and current holdings.
Invesco will allocate securities issued in IPOs to eligible Invesco Funds and accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size.
Invesco
Canada, Invesco Hong Kong and Invesco Japan allocate IPOs on a pro rata basis based on size of
order or in such other manner which they believe is fair and equitable.
Invesco
Asset Management allocates IPOs on a pro rata basis based on account size or in such other manner
believed by Invesco Asset Management to be fair and equitable.
Invesco
Deutschland and Invesco Senior Secured do not subscribe to IPOs.

Tax
Matters
The
Fund intends to operate as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Fund generally
will not be subject to any federal income tax, subject to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Based upon the status of
the Fund as a partnership, each investor will take into account its allocated share of the Fund’s income, capital gains, losses,
deductions and credits in determining its income tax liability, without regard to whether it has distributed or will distribute any amount
to its investors. The determination of
an
investor’s share of the Fund’s income, capital gains, losses, deductions and credits will be made in accordance
with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations promulgated thereunder.
The
following is a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its investors
that are not described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its
investors, and the discussion here and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This
“Tax Matters” section is based on the Code and applicable regulations in effect on the date of this SAI.
Future legislative, regulatory or administrative changes, including provisions of current law that sunset and thereafter no longer apply,
or court decisions may significantly change the tax rules applicable to the Fund and its investors. Any of these changes or court decisions
may have a retroactive effect.
This
is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisors
as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Taxation
of the Fund. The Fund is treated as a partnership under the Code,
and, thus, is generally not subject to income tax. The Fund will not be a “regulated investment company” for federal income
tax purposes. The Fund intends to monitor the number of its investors so as not to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership”
under certain safe harbors provided in Treasury regulations. Under the Code, a publicly traded partnership (PTP) is treated as a corporation
if its interests are traded on an established securities market or its interests are readily tradable on a secondary market. However,
under a private placement exception contained in the Treasury regulations, a PTP will not be treated as a corporation if (i) all interests
in the partnership were issued in a transaction (or transactions) that was not required to be registered under the Securities Act and
(ii) the partnership does not have more than 100 partners at any time during the taxable year of the partnership. The private placement
exception should apply to the Fund; therefore, the Fund should be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.
If
the Fund was classified as an association taxable as a corporation, investors would be treated as shareholders
of a corporation and (a) items of income, gain, loss and deduction would not flow through to investors to be accounted for on their individual
U.S. federal income tax returns; (b) cash distributions would be treated as corporate distributions to the investors, some or all of which
might be taxable as dividends, and (c) the taxable income of the Fund would be subject to the U.S. federal income tax imposed on corporations.
Method
of accounting; taxable year. The Fund will use the accrual method
of accounting to determine its net profits or net losses for federal income tax purposes. The Fund’s taxable year end will be September
30 for accounting and income tax purposes. In the unlikely event, however, that one or more investors of the Fund has an aggregate interest
in the Fund’s profits and capital of more than 50%, or all investors of the Fund having a 5% or greater interest in profits or
capital, have a taxable year other than the calendar year, the Fund may be required to adopt or change to a taxable year other than the
calendar year.
Fund
tax returns; audit. Under the new partnership audit rules, which
are generally applicable to tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the IRS may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments
to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly from the Fund. In that case, current
investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the
Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift any such tax liability to the investors in accordance with
their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances.
For taxable years not subject to the new audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the
Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION
OF ANY ITEM BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” will have the sole authority to act on
the Fund’s behalf for purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments
by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the investors.
The
discussion in the following paragraphs assumes that the Fund will be taxed as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. Whether the Fund will be treated as a partnership under the various state and local laws that may apply to
investors depends on the specific laws of each jurisdiction.
Taxation
of Fund Distributions. Each taxable year, each investor must report
on the investor’s federal income tax return the investor’s share of the Fund’s tax items, including deductions, credits,
net long-term capital gain or loss, net short-term capital gain or loss, and net ordinary income or loss. Each investor will be liable
for any taxes owed with respect to the investor’s share of the taxable income and gains recognized by the Fund, regardless of whether
the investor actually receives any distribution from the Fund. Because the Fund does not contemplate making cash distributions to investors,
the amount of income that may be realized by an investor likely will exceed the cash distributions to him. In addition, if an investor
purchases a share at a net asset value that includes unrealized gains, and those gains are later realized, the investor’s share
of the taxable gain may include gain attributable to the time period prior to the purchase. However, the Trustees or their designee are
authorized to make equitable allocations of income, gain, deduction and loss to reduce the likelihood of these allocations.
Annual
information returns. The amount of tax due, if any, with respect
to gains and income of the Fund is determined separately for each investor. The Fund will be required to file annually an information
return on IRS Form 1065 and, following the close of the Fund’s taxable year, to provide each investor with a Schedule K-1 indicating
such investor’s allocable share of income, gain, losses, deductions, credits and items of tax preference for the alternative minimum
tax, if applicable as discussed below. Each investor, however, is responsible for keeping the investor’s own records for determining
such investor’s tax basis in the Fund and calculating and reporting any gain or loss resulting from a distribution or disposition
of a share.
Allocation
of partnership income, gains and losses. The Fund, in general,
will allocate items of its income, gain, deduction and loss for federal income tax purposes in accordance with each investor’s
interest in the Fund for each taxable year. Thus, allocations of the Fund’s tax items, to the extent practicable, will equitably
reflect the net returns on investment of each investor in the Fund. The Board may amend the allocation provisions of the Declaration of
Trust and the authorizing resolution pursuant to which each Fund was authorized to reflect accurately the economic arrangements of the
investors or to comply with the requirements of the Code and the underlying Treasury regulations. If an investor makes an investment in
the Fund that represents cash collateral proceeds of a securities loan with a specified expected termination date, the Board may directly
allocate to such investor for federal income tax purposes an amount of income, gain, deduction and loss equal to the amount of income,
gain, deduction and loss on one or more term investments with the same expected maturity date.
Qualified
dividend income for individuals. For individual investors, a portion
of the dividends received by the Fund and allocated to investors may be qualified dividends eligible for taxation at long-term capital
gain rates. This reduced rate generally is available for certain dividends received by the Fund from stocks of domestic corporations and
qualified foreign corporations, provided certain holding period requirements are met. Specifically, the Fund must hold the stock for at
least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the stock becomes ex-dividend. The Fund’s entry into securities
lending transactions may cause the replacement income earned on the loaned securities to fall outside of the definition of qualified dividend
income. This replacement income generally will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on qualified dividend income.
Dividends-received
deduction for corporations. For corporate investors, a portion
of the dividends received by the Fund and allocated to investors may qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction. Qualifying
dividends are those received by the Fund from domestic (U.S.) corporations, subject to certain restrictions. The amount eligible for the
dividends-received deduction will be reduced or eliminated if the shares on which the dividends earned by the Fund were debt-financed
or held by the Fund for less than a minimum period of time, generally 46 days during a 91-day period beginning 45 days before the stock
becomes ex-dividend. In addition, if a corporate investor has outstanding indebtedness, its distributive share of partnership dividend
income could be subject to this debt-financed restriction.
Pass-through
Deduction for Qualified Business Income. 2017 legislation commonly
known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permits a deduction for certain “qualified business income” generated by the U.S. business
operations of a partnership or other flow-through entity, which may allow non-corporate U.S. shareholders to deduct up to 20% of such
amounts. Qualified business income does not include investment income, such as dividends or interest income not allocable to a trade or
business. This provision is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and ending before January 1, 2026. The Fund
does not currently anticipate that an investor’s share of income from the Fund will be eligible for such deduction.
U.S.
government securities. To the extent the Fund invests in certain
U.S. government obligations, income allocated by the Fund to shareholders that is derived from interest on these obligations should be
exempt from state and local personal income taxes. The income on portfolio investments in certain securities, such as repurchase agreements,
commercial paper and federal agency-backed obligations (e.g., Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae securities), generally does not qualify for tax-free
treatment. The rules on exclusion of this income are different for corporate shareholders.
Medicare
tax. A 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on net investment income earned
by certain individuals, estates and trusts. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income, (including
(i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of the Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the investor
if the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable
share of the Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such income. The tax
will be imposed on the lesser of (1) the shareholder’s net investment income or (2) the amount by which the shareholder’s
modified adjusted gross income or adjusted gross income, as applicable, exceeds a certain threshold. Net investment income does
not include exempt interest dividends. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by investors on, and paid with, the investor's
federal income tax return.
Tax
treatment of capital gains and losses. Amounts realized from the
sale or exchange of assets of the Fund will generally be treated as amounts realized from the sale or exchange of capital assets. A net
capital loss allocated to an investor may be used to offset other capital gains. For corporate investors, present law taxes both long-term
and short-term capital gains at the rates applicable to ordinary income. However, for investors other than corporations, net capital gains
from assets held for more than one year are taxed at a preferential rate of tax. Short-term capital gains are taxed at rates applicable
to ordinary income. For a taxpayer other than a corporation, a capital loss also may be used to offset ordinary income up to $3,000 per
year. In general, for taxpayers other than corporations, the unused portion of such loss may be carried forward indefinitely, but not
carried back.
Limitations
on losses and deductions. Although each investor must take into
account their distributive share of the Fund’s tax items, the ability to deduct the investor’s distributive share of the
Fund’s losses and expenses, if any, may be limited under one or more provisions of the Code. There can be no assurance that any
losses of the Fund will produce a tax benefit in the year incurred or that such losses will be available to offset an investor’s
share of income in subsequent years.
Investment
expenses. If for any taxable year the trading activities of the
Fund fail to rise to the level of a trade or business for federal income tax purposes, the fees and expenses, if any, of the Fund will
be investment expenses rather than trade or business expenses. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, for taxable years beginning after December
31, 2017 and ending before January 1, 2026, individual investors will not be entitled to deduct such investor’s share of any such
expenses as an itemized deduction. Provided the suspension is not extended, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, any
individual that is an investor of the Fund (directly or through a partnership or other pass-through entity) will be entitled to deduct
such investor’s share, of any such expenses only to the extent that such share, together with such investor’s other itemized
deductions, exceeds 2% of such investor’s adjusted gross income. Additionally, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the overall limitation
on itemized deductions is suspended for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and ending before January 1, 2026. Provided the
suspension is not extended, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, certain itemized deductions of an individual are
subject to reduction to the extent the individual’s adjusted gross income exceeds a threshold that is adjusted each
year
for inflation. The reduction (phaseout) is equal to the lesser of 3% of the excess of his adjusted gross income
over an applicable amount or 80% of those itemized deductions otherwise allowable.
Investment
interest expense. The Code imposes limitations on the deductibility
of certain types of interest by non-corporate taxpayers. If the Fund is treated as engaged merely in an investment activity (and not in
a trade or business) interest expense incurred by an investor to purchase or carry their Shares and the investor’s share of interest
expense incurred by the Fund would be deductible only to the extent of the investor’s net investment income. Interest income earned
by the Fund on its portfolio investments would be treated as investment income.
Business
interest expense. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a limitation
is imposed on the business interest expense (which does not include investment interest discussed above) allowed by the Fund and is taken
into account by the Fund in determining the non-separately stated taxable income or loss of the Fund. Each investor’s adjusted
taxable income is determined without regard to the investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s items of income, gain, deduction
or loss and is increased by such investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s excess taxable income. Any business interest
expense that is not deductible by the Fund in a given year is allocated to the investors and only deductible by such investors in a future
year to the extent of the same Fund’s excess taxable income. Treasury Regulations issued by the IRS prevent partners from double
counting a partnership’s business interest income and increase the limitation applicable to the partner.
Basis;
at risk; passive activity loss; capital loss limitations. Investors
may not deduct losses of the Fund for federal income tax purposes to the extent they exceed the adjusted tax basis in their shares. Losses
denied under this limitation may be carried forward and deducted in subsequent taxable years, subject to this and all other applicable
limitations. Losses of the Fund may also be subject to the “at risk” and “passive activity loss” limitations
imposed by the Code, although the Fund intends to take the position that the income and losses of the Fund are not income and losses from
a “passive activity” as such term is defined in the Code. An investor’s allocable share of the Fund’s capital
losses may be used to offset capital gains realized by an investor, plus, in the case of an individual non-corporate investor, up to $3,000
per year of ordinary income.
Consistency
requirement. Each investor is required to treat Fund items on his
return in a manner consistent with the treatment of such items on the Fund’s return and may be penalized for intentional disregard
of the consistency requirement. The consistency requirement may be waived if the investor files a statement (Form 8082) identifying the
inconsistency or shows that it resulted from an incorrect schedule furnished by the Fund.
Each
prospective investor should consult their own tax advisor to determine the extent to which the deduction
of the investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s losses and expenses may be limited.
Sales,
Exchanges, and Redemption of Fund Shares. If an investor is a taxable
investor, sales and exchanges of Fund shares are taxable transactions for federal and state income tax purposes. If the investor held
its shares as a capital asset, the gain or loss that it realizes generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term or short-term,
generally depending on how long the investor has held its shares. Any loss may be recognized only if an investor redeems its entire interest
in the Fund for money. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of the investor’s shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale
or exchange only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the investor’s tax basis in its entire interest in the Fund.
Generally,
a distribution or series of distributions by the Fund to an investor that results in termination of its
entire interest in the Fund results in gain to the distributee investor only to the extent that any money and the fair market value on
the date of distribution of marketable securities (within the meaning of Section 731(c) of the Code) distributed exceeds the investor’s
adjusted basis in its Fund shares. When only money (including any marketable securities treated as a distribution of money) and unrealized
receivables are distributed, loss will be recognized to the extent that the investor’s adjusted basis in its Fund shares exceeds
the amount of money distributed and the basis to the investor of any unrealized receivables distributed. Any gain or loss recognized as
a result of such distributions will be considered as gain or loss from the sale or exchange of the distributee investor’s Fund
shares and generally will be capital gain or loss.
The
tax basis of an investor’s interest in the Fund will include the amount of money, and/or the basis in securities
that the investor contributes to the Fund, increased principally by (i) any additional contributions made by the investor to the Fund,
(ii) the investor’s allocable share of any Fund profit, income or gain, and (iii) the amount, if any, of the investor’s
share of the Fund’s indebtedness; and decreased, but not below zero, principally by (iv) distributions from the Fund to the investor,
(v) the amount of the investor’s allocable share of Fund losses, and (vi) any reduction in the investor’s share of Fund
indebtedness. In the case of non-liquidating distributions other than cash (and other than certain ordinary income type assets, such as
accounts receivable), basis is reduced (but not below zero) by the basis of the property distributed.
Reporting
requirements. A direct or indirect participant in any “reportable
transaction” must disclose its participation to the IRS on IRS Form 8886. Furthermore, a “material advisor” to a
reportable transaction is required to maintain a list of each person with respect to whom such advisor acted as a material advisor and
to disclose to the IRS certain other information regarding the transaction. For purposes of the disclosure rules, an investor may, if
certain conditions are satisfied, be treated as a participant in a reportable transaction in which the Fund participates. It is possible
that the Fund will participate in one or more transactions that are required to be reported by the Fund and certain or all of the investors.
In addition, a transfer of the Fund share will be reportable by the transferor investor if the investor recognizes a loss on the transfer
that equals or exceeds the applicable threshold amount. investors may also be subject to other reporting requirements as a result of their
investments in the Fund. For example, investors may be required to file IRS Form 926 in connection with investments by the Fund in certain
non-U.S. companies. investors may also be required to file information statements on IRS Form 8621 with respect to any investment by the
Fund in a PFIC. Failure to comply with the reporting requirements gives rise to substantial penalties. investors are urged to consult
their tax advisors concerning the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax
Treatment of Fund Transactions.
Investments
in foreign securities. Certain Funds anticipate that they will
be subject to foreign taxes on their income (including, in some cases, capital gains) from foreign securities. Tax conventions between
certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes. investors will be informed as to their proportionate share of any foreign
taxes paid by the Fund, which they will be required to include in their income. investors generally will be entitled to claim either a
credit (subject to various limitations on foreign tax credits) or, if they itemize their deductions, a deduction (subject to the limitations
generally applicable to deductions) for their share of such foreign taxes in computing their federal income taxes. However, an investor’s
ability to obtain a credit for such taxes depends on the particular circumstances applicable to that investor, and it is possible that
an investor may get little or no foreign tax credit benefit with respect to its share of foreign taxes paid or accrued by the Fund.
Effect
of foreign debt investments on allocations. Most foreign exchange
gains realized on the sale of debt securities are treated as ordinary income by the Fund. Similarly, foreign exchange losses realized
on the sale of debt securities generally are treated as ordinary losses. These gains when allocated are taxable to shareholders as ordinary
income, and any losses reduce the Fund’s ordinary income otherwise available for allocation to shareholders. This treatment could
increase or decrease the Fund’s ordinary income allocations to shareholders.
Passive
foreign investment companies. Certain Funds may invest in equity
interests in non-U.S. entities that are passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general,
a PFIC is any foreign corporation if 75% or more of its gross income for its taxable year is passive income, or 50% or more of its average
assets (by value) are held for the production of passive income. If the Fund does not make either the “qualified electing fund”
(QEF) election or the mark-to-market election described below with respect to a PFIC, an investor’s share of gain from the Fund’s
sale of the PFIC stock, and of certain distributions received by the Fund from the PFIC, will be taxed at ordinary income rates, rather
than at capital gain rates, and the investor may be subject to an interest charge in respect of the resulting tax liability. Because the
determination of whether a foreign entity is a PFIC is made annually on the basis of facts and circumstances that may be beyond the Fund’s
control or information, there can be no assurance that the Fund will not invest in a foreign entity that is a PFIC. If the Fund makes
a QEF election with respect to a PFIC, an
investor
will be required to include in income its share of the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and long-term capital gains
for each taxable year, regardless of whether the PFIC makes any distributions. The Fund will be able to make a QEF election with respect
to a PFIC only if the PFIC agrees to cooperate, including by providing certain information to the Fund, and there can be no assurance
that any PFIC in which the Fund invests will agree to such cooperation. If the Fund invests in “marketable stock” of a PFIC,
the Fund may elect to mark the PFIC stock to market each year. Pursuant to this election, the Fund will be deemed to have sold the shares
of the relevant PFIC at the end of each taxable year. investors will recognize any gain on the deemed sale as ordinary income and will
recognize any loss on the deemed sale as ordinary loss to the extent of net mark-to-market ordinary income inclusions in prior years.
In addition, if the Fund makes a mark-to-market election with respect to a PFIC, gain or loss, if any, that it recognizes on the actual
sale or other disposition of the PFIC stock will be treated as ordinary income or loss. If a U.S. investor in the Fund is a tax-exempt
person, the above rules relating to distributions and dispositions will apply only if dividends paid by the PFIC and allocated by the
Fund to such investors are taxable as unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). investors may be subject to reporting requirements which
may require them to file information returns with the IRS with respect to the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in foreign
entities (including PFICs). Penalties may be imposed upon an investor for failure to comply with these requirements.
Investment
in foreign currency contracts. The Fund’s investments in
certain options, futures or forward foreign currency contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future date as a hedge against
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates during the time the Fund holds foreign securities will be subject to special tax rules. Generally,
transactions in foreign currencies give rise to ordinary income or loss. An election under Section 988(a)(1)(B) may be available to treat
foreign currency gain or loss attributable to certain forward, futures and option contracts as capital, including certain “foreign
currency contracts.” A “foreign currency contract” is a contract that (1) requires delivery of, or settlement of,
a foreign currency that is a currency in which positions are also traded through regulated futures contracts, (2) is traded in the interbank
market, and (3) is entered into at an arm’s-length price determined by reference to the price in the interbank market. If this
Section 988(a)(1)(B) election is made, foreign currency contracts are treated as 60% long-term capital gain or loss and 40% short-term
capital gain or loss under the Section 1256 mark-to-market rules. All other forward contracts under this 988(a)(1)(B) election would be
characterized as capital and generally gain or loss would be recognized when the contract is closed and completed. Other rules apply to
options, futures or forward foreign currency contracts that may be part of a straddle or a Section 988 hedging transaction within the
meaning of Code Section 988(d).
Certain
fixed income investments. Gain recognized on the disposition of
a debt obligation purchased by the Fund at a market discount (generally, at a price less than its principal amount) will be treated as
ordinary income to the extent of the portion of the market discount that accrued during the period of time the Fund held the debt obligation
unless the Fund made a current inclusion election to accrue market discount into income as it accrues. If the Fund purchases a debt obligation
(such as a zero-coupon security or payment-in-kind security) that was originally issued at a discount, the Fund generally is required
to include in gross income each year the portion of the original issue discount that accrues during such year. Therefore, a Fund’s
investment in such securities may cause the Fund to recognize income and make allocations to investors before it receives any cash payments
on the securities.
Investments
in debt obligations that are at risk of or in default present tax issues for the Fund.
Tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as whether and to what extent the Fund should recognize market discount on a debt obligation,
when the Fund may cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or market discount, when and to what extent the Fund may take deductions
for bad debts or worthless securities and how the Fund should allocate payments received on obligations in default between principal and
income.
Section
1256 contracts. Certain Funds are permitted to invest in Section
1256 contracts, including, but not limited to, regulated futures contracts, foreign currency contracts and nonequity options (e.g., nonequity
options includes options on broad-based stock indexes). If the Fund makes these investments, it could be required to mark-to-market these
contracts and realize any unrealized gains and losses at its fiscal year end even though it continues to hold the contracts. Under these
rules, gains or losses on the contracts generally would be treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term gains or losses, but gains or losses
on certain foreign
currency
contracts would be treated as ordinary income or losses. Section 1256 contracts do not include any interest
rate swap, currency swap, basis swap, interest rate cap, interest rate floor, commodity swap, total return swap, equity index swap, credit
default swap, or similar agreement.
Treasury
Inflation Protected Securities. Adjustments for inflation to the
principal amount of an inflation-protected U.S. Treasury bond held by the Fund may be included for tax purposes in the Fund’s gross
income, even though no cash attributable to such gross income has been received by the Fund. In addition, adjustments during the taxable
year for deflation to an inflation-indexed bond held by the Fund may cause amounts previously distributed in the taxable year as income
to be characterized as a return of capital.
Tax
straddles. The Fund’s investment in options, futures, forwards,
or foreign currency contracts in connection with certain hedging transactions could cause it to hold offsetting positions in securities.
If the Fund’s risk of loss with respect to specific securities in its portfolio is substantially diminished by the fact that it
holds other securities, the Fund could be deemed to have entered into a tax “straddle” or to hold a “successor position”
that would require any loss realized by it to be deferred for tax purposes.
Securities
lending transactions. While securities are loaned out by the Fund,
the Fund generally will receive from the borrower amounts equal to any dividends or interest paid on the borrowed securities. For federal
income tax purposes, payments made “in lieu of” dividends are not considered dividend income. These distributions will neither
qualify for the reduced rate of taxation for individuals on qualified dividends nor the 50% dividends received deduction for corporations.
Also, any foreign tax withheld on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest will not qualify for the pass-through
of foreign tax credits to shareholders.
Short
Sales. The Fund’s entry into a short sale transaction or
an option or other contract could be treated as the “constructive sale” of an “appreciated financial position,”
causing it to realize gain, but not loss, on the position.
Convertible
debt. Convertible debt is ordinarily treated as a “single
property” consisting of a pure debt interest until conversion, after which the investment becomes an equity interest. If the security
is issued at a premium (i.e., for cash in excess of the face amount payable on retirement), the creditor-holder may amortize the premium
over the life of the bond. If the security is issued for cash at a price below its face amount, the creditor-holder must accrue original
issue discount in income over the life of the debt. The creditor-holder’s exercise of the conversion privilege is treated as a
nontaxable event. Mandatorily convertible debt (e.g., an exchange traded note or ETN issued in the form of an unsecured obligation that
pays a return based on the performance of a specified market index, exchange currency, or commodity) is often, but not always, treated
as a contract to buy or sell the reference property rather than debt. Similarly, convertible preferred stock with a mandatory conversion
feature is ordinarily, but not always, treated as equity rather than debt. Dividends received generally are eligible for the corporate
dividends-received deduction. In general, conversion of preferred stock for common stock of the same corporation is tax-free. Conversion
of preferred stock for cash is a taxable redemption. Any redemption premium for preferred stock that is redeemable by the issuing company
might be required to be amortized under original issue discount principles.
Investments
in non-U.S. REITs. While non-U.S. REITs often use complex acquisition
structures that seek to minimize taxation in the source country, an investment by the Fund in a non-U.S. REIT may subject the Fund, directly
or indirectly, to corporate taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and other indirect taxes in the country in which the real estate
acquired by the non-U.S. REIT is located. The Fund's pro rata share of any such taxes will reduce the Fund's return on its investment.
The Fund's investment in a non-U.S. REIT may be considered an investment in a PFIC, as discussed above. Additionally, foreign withholding
taxes on distributions from the non-U.S. REIT may be reduced or eliminated under certain tax treaties. Also, the Fund in certain limited
circumstances may be required to file an income tax return in the source country and pay tax on any gain realized from its investment
in the non-U.S. REIT under rules similar to those in the United States which tax foreign persons on gain realized from dispositions of
interests in U.S. real estate.
Investments
in U.S. REITs. A U.S. REIT is not subject to federal income tax
on the income and gains it distributes to shareholders. Dividends paid by a U.S. REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be
taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital
gain
dividends paid by a U.S. REIT to the Fund will be treated as long-term capital gains by the Fund and, in turn,
will be allocated by the Fund to its investors as a long-term capital gain. Because of certain noncash expenses, such as property
depreciation, an equity U.S. REIT’s cash flow may exceed its taxable income. The equity U.S. REIT may allocate this excess
cash to the Fund in the form of a return of capital distribution. However, if a U.S. REIT is operated in a manner that fails to qualify
as a REIT, an investment in the U.S. REIT would become subject to double taxation, meaning the taxable income of the U.S. REIT would be
subject to federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders and the dividends
would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the U.S. REIT’s
current and accumulated earnings and profits. If the taxable income of the U.S. REIT is subject to federal income tax, it could reduce
the Fund’s income and gains allocated to investors. Also, see “Investment in complex — Investment in taxable
mortgage pools (excess inclusion income)” with respect to certain other tax aspects of investing in U.S. REITs.
Investment
in taxable mortgage pools (excess inclusion income). Certain Funds
may invest in U.S.-REITs that hold residual interests in REMICs or which are, or have certain wholly-owned subsidiaries that are, “taxable
mortgage pools.” Under a Notice issued by the IRS, the Code and Treasury regulations to be issued, a portion of a fund’s
income from a U.S. REIT that is attributable to the REIT’s residual interest in a real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC)
or equity interests in a “taxable mortgage pool” (referred to in the Code as an excess inclusion) will be subject to federal
income tax in all events. The excess inclusion income of the Fund will be allocated to investors (as determined accordance with the governing
instruments of the Fund) with the same consequences as if investors held the related REMIC residual interest or, if applicable, taxable
mortgage pool directly. In general, excess inclusion income allocated to investors (i) cannot be offset by net operating losses (subject
to a limited exception for certain thrift institutions), (ii) will constitute unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) to entities (including
qualified pension plans, individual retirement accounts, 401(k) plans, Keogh plans or other tax-exempt entities) subject to tax on UBTI,
thereby potentially requiring such an entity that is allocated excess inclusion income, and otherwise might not be required to file a
tax return, to file a tax return and pay tax on such income, and (iii) in the case of a non U.S. investor, will not qualify for any reduction
in U.S. federal withholding tax. In addition, if at any time during any taxable year a “disqualified organization” (which
generally includes certain cooperatives, governmental entities, and tax-exempt organizations not subject to tax on UBTI) is a record holder
of a share in a Fund, then the Fund will be subject to a tax equal to that portion of its excess inclusion income for the taxable year
that is allocable to the disqualified organization, multiplied by the corporate income tax rate. The Notice imposes certain reporting
requirements upon pass through entities such as the Fund that have excess inclusion income. While there can be no assurance that
the Fund will not allocate to shareholders excess inclusion income, it is unlikely that these rules will apply to a pass through entity
such as the Fund that has a non-REIT strategy.
Investments
in securities of uncertain tax character. The Fund may invest in
securities the U.S. federal income tax treatment of which may not be clear or may be subject to recharacterization by the IRS. To the
extent the tax treatment of such securities or the income from such securities differs from the tax treatment expected by the Fund, it
could affect the timing or character of income recognized by the Fund.
Alternative
minimum tax. Due to the complexity of the alternative minimum tax
(AMT) calculations, investors should consult with their tax advisors as to whether the purchase of a Share might create or increase AMT
liability.
Investment
by tax-exempt investors. Qualified pension and profit-sharing plans,
educational institutions and other investors exempt from taxation under Section 501 of the Code are generally exempt from federal income
tax except to the extent that they have UBTI. With certain exceptions, UBTI is income from an unrelated trade or business in which a taxpayer
regularly engages; UBTI also includes income from debt-financed property. UBTI of more than $1,000 received by a tax-exempt entity in
any year is generally taxable. UBTI generally does not include dividends, interest or capital gains unless they are derived from debt-financed
property. To the extent that the Fund holds securities that are debt-financed (such as securities purchased on margin or securities purchased
with borrowed funds), income attributable to those securities will constitute UBTI to an investor of the Fund that is a tax-exempt entity.
Furthermore, if the Fund were to invest
in
equity interests in a portfolio company that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
such investment could give rise to UBTI, depending on the portfolio company’s activities.
Tax-exempt
entities entering into prohibited tax-sheltered transactions. Certain tax-exempt entities and entity
managers are subject to taxes and reporting requirements in connection with the participation by the tax-exempt entity in a “prohibited
tax-sheltered transaction.” Entities described in Section 501(c), 501(d), 170(c) of the Code, and Indian Tribal Governments (within
the meaning of Section 7701(a)(40) of the Code) are subject to entity level taxation if they become a party to a prohibited tax-sheltered
transaction. Those entities, along with IRAs and certain pension and other benefit plans are also subject to certain reporting obligations
if such entity is a party to a prohibited tax-sheltered transaction and is subject to penalties for failure to comply with such reporting
requirements. If an entity manager of a tax-exempt entity approves such entity as a party to a prohibited tax-sheltered transaction at
any time during the year or had known or has reason to know that the transaction is a prohibited tax-sheltered transaction, the entity
manager is subject to a tax of $20,000 for each approval. For these purposes, the term entity manager is defined generally as the person
with responsibility or authority or who approves or otherwise causes the entity to be a party to the prohibited tax-sheltered transaction.
Prohibited tax-sheltered transactions include listed transactions (i.e., transactions identified by the Secretary of Treasury as a tax
avoidance transaction for purposes of Section 6011 and identified by notice, regulation or otherwise as a listed transaction) and prohibited
reportable transactions (defined as confidential transactions or transactions with contractual protection which is a reportable transaction).
Each tax-exempt entity purchasing Shares should consult its own tax advisor as to the application of these reporting obligations to other
specific situations.
Non-U.S.
investors. Non-U.S. investors (investors who, as to the United
States, are nonresident alien individuals, foreign trusts or estates, foreign corporations, or foreign partnerships) should be aware of
certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund.
Portfolio
income not derived from the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
Provided that the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a trade or business in the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the
Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on certain items of gross income (including an allocable share of the fees received in
connection with the Fund’s lending activities, dividends, certain types of interest income, and “dividend equivalents”
derived from U.S. sources) included in the distributive share of each non-U.S. investor at a rate of 30%, unless the tax is reduced or
eliminated by treaty. Certain other categories of income, generally including interest on certain portfolio debt obligations (which may
include U.S. government securities), capital gains (including those derived from options transactions), original issue discount obligations
having an original maturity of 183 days or less, and certificates of deposit, may not be subject to this 30% tax. The exemption from tax
for capital gains of nonresident alien individuals does not apply if the individual is present in the United States for a period or periods
aggregating 183 or more days during the taxable year. In addition, non-U.S. investors must satisfy certain tax certification rules described
below.
With
respect to non-U.S. investors subject to U.S. withholding tax, if such non-U.S. investor elects to withdraw
all or any portion of its investment in the Fund, the Trust may withhold an amount based on its reasonable estimate of a non-U.S. investor’s
withholding tax owed (“Holdback”). Such Holdback shall be held by the Trust on behalf of the investor in an interest-bearing
account until payment of the actual withholding tax is made. Payment of the actual withholding tax is expected to occur on or about March
15th of the year following the calendar year in which the tax liability was incurred. Following payment, any excess amount remaining,
including interest earned on the Holdback, shall be remitted to the investor.
Income
effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by the Fund (for
example, by investing in REITs or other entities holding U.S. real property interests or by investing in an entity that is classified
as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund,
and the Fund generally will be required to withhold quarterly amounts of tax from the amount of effectively connected taxable income allocable
to each non-U.S. investor at the highest rate of tax applicable to U.S. taxpayers. Thus, non-U.S. investors would be taxable on capital
gains, as well as other income that is treated as effectively connected with the Fund’s trade or business, and
generally
would be required to file U.S. tax returns. Additionally, gain or loss on the sale or exchange of Fund shares
by a non-U.S. investor will be treated as effectively connected income, and subject to U.S. federal income tax, to the extent that the
non-U.S. investor would have had effectively connected gain or loss had the Fund sold all of its assets at fair market value. Such gain
may be subject to a withholding tax equal to 10 percent of the amount realized on the disposition of Fund shares unless the non-U.S. investor
qualifies for an exception to the withholding. Furthermore, a foreign corporation investing in the Fund would be subject to an additional
30% branch profits tax, unless the tax were reduced or eliminated by treaty.
Tax
certification rules. Special U.S. tax certification requirements
apply to an investor that is a non-U.S. investor. In general, a non-U.S. investor must provide a Form W-8BEN (or other applicable Form
W-8) to (i) establish that the investor is not a U.S. person, (ii) claim the investor is the beneficial owner of the income, and (iii)
claim, if applicable, a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding as a resident of a country with which the United States has an
income tax treaty.
U.S.
taxpayer identification number. If you do not have a United States
taxpayer identification number (TIN) and are a non-resident alien individual claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States,
you must obtain a TIN by filing Form W-7. After filing a properly completed and executed Form W-7 with the IRS, you will be issued an
Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), which is required to be entered on Form W-8BEN to claim treaty benefits. If you are
not an individual and are claiming the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States, you must enter an employer identification number
(EIN) on Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable Form W-8). If you do not have an EIN, you must apply for one by filing Form SS-4.
U.S.
estate tax. A decedent who was the beneficial owner of the Shares
at date of death and a non-resident alien individual as to the United States may also be subject to U.S. estate tax on the Shares. Non-U.S.
investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing in the Fund in light of their particular situations.
Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Under the Foreign Account Tax
Compliance Act (FATCA), the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain U.S. source payments (such as interest and dividends)
to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions (FFI) or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive new reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury
of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts (NFFE). After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital
gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed
regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide
otherwise (which is not expected). The Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its investors to the Internal Revenue Service,
non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that
is an investor of the Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under
FATCA.
State
and local taxes. In addition to the federal income tax consequences
described above, prospective investors should consider potential state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund. State
and local laws often differ from federal income tax laws with respect to the treatment of specific items of income, gain, loss, deduction
and credit. An investor’s distributive share of the taxable income or loss of the Fund generally will be required to be included
in determining the investor’s reportable income for state and local tax purposes in the jurisdiction in which the investor resides
or is otherwise subject to tax.
DISTRIBUTION
OF SECURITIES
Distributor
The
Trust has entered into a master distribution agreement, as amended, relating to the Fund (the Distribution
Agreement) with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors), a registered broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco
Ltd., pursuant to which Invesco Distributors acts as the distributor of shares of the Fund. The address of Invesco Distributors is 11
Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, TX
77046-1173.
Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco Distributors. See “Management
of the Trust.” In addition to the Fund, Invesco Distributors serves as distributor to many other mutual funds that are offered
to retail investors. The following Distribution of Securities information is about all of the Invesco Funds that offer retail and/or Class
R5 or Class R6 shares. Not all Invesco Funds offer all share classes.
The
Distribution Agreement provides Invesco Distributors with the exclusive right to distribute shares of the
Funds on a continuous basis directly and through other broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries with whom Invesco Distributors
has entered into selected dealer and/or similar agreements. Invesco Distributors has not undertaken to sell any specified number of shares
of any classes of the Funds.
Invesco
Distributors expects to pay sales commissions from its own resources to dealers and institutions who
sell Class C and Class R shares of the Funds at the time of such sales.
Invesco
Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the
Invesco Funds at the time of such sales. Payments for Class C shares generally equal 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class C shares
sold by the dealer or institution, consisting of a sales commission of 0.75% of the purchase price of the Class C shares sold plus an
advance of the first year service fee of up to 0.25% for such shares. Invesco Distributors will retain all payments received by it relating
to Class C shares for the first year after they are purchased. The portion of the payments to Invesco Distributors under the Class C Plan
that constitutes an asset-based sales charge (0.75%) is intended in part to permit Invesco Distributors to recoup a portion of the sales
commissions to dealers plus financing costs, if any. After the first full year, Invesco Distributors will make payments to dealers and
institutions based on the average net asset value of Class C shares that are attributable to shareholders for whom the dealers and institutions
are designated as dealers of record. These payments will consist of an asset-based sales charge of 0.75% and a service fee of up to 0.25%.
Invesco
Distributors may pay dealers and institutions who sell Class R shares an annual fee of 0.50% of average
daily net assets. These payments will consist of an asset-based fee of 0.25% and a service fee of 0.25%. Invesco Distributors will make
payments to dealers and institutions based on the average net asset value of Class R shares that are attributable to shareholders for
whom the dealers and institutions are designated as dealers of record.
The
Trust (on behalf of any class of any Invesco Fund) or Invesco Distributors may terminate the Distribution
Agreements on 60 days’ written notice without penalty. The Distribution Agreements will terminate automatically in the event of
its assignment.

APPENDIX
A - RATINGS OF DEBT SECURITIES
The
following is a description of the factors underlying the debt ratings of Moody's, S&P, and Fitch.
Moody's
Long-Term Debt Ratings
Aaa:
Obligations rated 'Aaa' are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.
Aa:
Obligations rated 'Aa' are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.
A:
Obligations rated 'A' are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.
Baa:
Obligations rated 'Baa' are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative
characteristics.
Ba:
Obligations rated 'Ba' are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.
B:
Obligations rated 'B' are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.
Caa:
Obligations rated 'Caa' are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.
Ca:
Obligations rated 'Ca' are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and
interest.
C:
Obligations rated 'C' are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
Note:
Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that
the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier
3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Additionally, a “(hyb)” indicator is appended to
all ratings of hybrid securities issued by banks, insurers, finance companies, and securities firms*.
*
By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends, interest, or principal payments, which can potentially
result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid securities may also be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal
that could result in impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security is
an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security.
Moody's
Short-Term Prime Rating System
P-1:
Ratings of
Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term obligations.
P-2:
Ratings of
Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term obligations.
P-3:
Ratings of
Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.
NP
(Not Prime): Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime
do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.
Moody's
MIG/VMIG US Short-Term Ratings
Short-Term
Obligation Ratings
We
use the global short-term Prime rating scale for commercial paper issued by US municipalities and nonprofits.
These commercial paper programs may be backed by external letters of credit or liquidity facilities, or by an issuer’s self-liquidity.
For
other short-term municipal obligations, we use one of two other short-term rating scales, the Municipal Investment
Grade (MIG) and Variable Municipal Investment Grade (VMIG) scales discussed below.
We
use the MIG scale for US municipal cash flow notes, bond anticipation notes and certain other short-term
obligations, which typically mature in three years or less. Under certain circumstances, we use the MIG scale for bond anticipation notes
with maturities of up to five years.
MIG
1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent
protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market
for refinancing.
MIG
2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection
are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
MIG
3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity
and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
SG:
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
Demand
Obligation Ratings
In
the case of variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned. The components
are a long-term rating and a short-term demand obligation rating. The long-term rating addresses the issuer’s ability to meet scheduled
principal and interest payments. The short-term demand obligation rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider
to make payments associated with the purchase-price-upon-demand feature (“demand feature”) of the VRDO. The short-term demand
obligation rating uses the VMIG scale. VMIG ratings with liquidity support use as an input the short-term Counterparty Risk Assessment
of the support provider, or the long-term rating of the underlying obligor in the absence of third party liquidity support. Transitions
of VMIG ratings of demand obligations with conditional liquidity support differ from transitions on the Prime scale to reflect the risk
that external liquidity support will terminate if the issuer’s long-term rating drops below investment grade. Please see our methodology
that discusses demand obligations with conditional liquidity support.
We
typically assign the VMIG short-term demand obligation rating if the frequency of the demand feature is
less than every three years. If the frequency of the demand feature is less than three years but the purchase price is payable only with
remarketing proceeds, the short-term demand obligation rating is “NR”.
VMIG
1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent
protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.
VMIG
2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection
is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.
VMIG
3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate
protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.
SG:
This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider
that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural or legal protections.
Standard
& Poor's Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings
Issue
credit ratings are based, in varying degrees, on S&P Global Ratings’ analysis of the following considerations:
•
The
likelihood of payment--the capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with
the terms of the obligation;
•
The
nature and provisions of the financial obligation, and the promise we impute; and
•
The
protection afforded by, and relative position of, the financial obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement
under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
Issue
ratings are an assessment of default risk but may incorporate an assessment of relative seniority or ultimate
recovery in the event of default. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above. (Such differentiation may apply when an entity has both senior and subordinated obligations, secured and
unsecured obligations, or operating company and holding company obligations.)
AAA:
An obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments
on the obligation is extremely strong.
AA:
An obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation is very strong.
A:
An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations
in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.
BBB:
An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are
more likely to weaken the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
BB,
B, CCC, CC and C: Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC' 'CC', and
'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest.
While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or
major exposure to adverse conditions.
BB:
An obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties
or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation.
B:
An obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity
or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CCC:
An obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions
for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions,
the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CC:
An obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but
S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.
C:
An obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority
or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.
D:
An obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category
is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be
made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar
days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an
obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. An obligation's rating is lowered to 'D' if it is subject
to a distressed exchange offer.
Plus
(+) or minus (-): The ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified
by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
NR:
This indicates that no rating has been requested, or that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P
Global Ratings does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.
Standard
& Poor's Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings
A-1:
A short-term obligation rated 'A-1' is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates
that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on these obligations is extremely strong.
A-2:
A short-term obligation rated 'A-2' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions
than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3:
A short-term obligation rated 'A-3' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B:
A short-term obligation rated 'B' is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has
the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate
capacity to meet its financial commitments.
C:
A short-term obligation rated 'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic
conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments
on the obligation.
D:
A short-term obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments
will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business
days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on
an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to 'D' if it
is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.
Standard
& Poor's Municipal Short-Term Note Ratings Definitions
An
S&P Global Ratings U.S. municipal note rating reflects S&P Global Ratings’ opinion about the liquidity factors
and market access risks unique to the notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes with an original
maturity of more than three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. In determining which type of rating, if any, to assign,
S&P Global Ratings’ analysis will review the following considerations:
•
Amortization
schedule -- the larger final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and
•
Source
of payment -- the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.
Note
rating symbols are as follows:
SP-1:
Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus
(+) designation.
SP-2:
Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of
the notes.
SP-3:
Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
D:
‘D’ is assigned upon failure to pay the note when due, completion of a distressed exchange offer, or the filing of a bankruptcy
petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay
provisions.
Standard
& Poor's Dual Ratings
Dual
ratings may be assigned to debt issues that have a put option or demand feature. The first component
of the rating addresses the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest as due, and the second component of the rating addresses
only the demand feature. The first component of the rating can relate to either a short-term or long-term transaction and accordingly
use either short-term or long-term rating symbols. The second component of the rating relates to the put option and is assigned a short-term
rating symbol (for example, 'AAA/A-1+' or 'A-1+/A-1'). With U.S. municipal short-term demand debt, the U.S. municipal short-term note
rating symbols are used for the first component of the rating (for example, 'SP-1+/A-1+').
Fitch
Credit Rating Scales
Fitch
Ratings publishes credit ratings that are forward-looking opinions
on the relative ability of an entity or obligation to meet financial commitments. Issuer default ratings
(IDRs)
are assigned to corporations, sovereign entities, financial institutions
such as banks, leasing companies and insurers, and public finance entities (local and regional governments). Issue level ratings are also
assigned, often include an expectation of recovery and may be notched above or below the issuer level rating. Issue ratings are assigned
to secured and unsecured debt securities, loans, preferred stock and other instruments, Structured finance ratings are issue ratings to
securities backed by receivables or other financial assets that consider the obligations’ relative vulnerability to default. Credit
ratings are indications of the likelihood of repayment in accordance with the terms of the issuance. In limited cases, Fitch may include
additional considerations (i.e., rate to a higher or lower standard than that implied in the obligation’s documentation). Please
see the section Specific Limitations Relating to Credit Rating Scales for details. Fitch Ratings also publishes other ratings, scores
and opinions. For example, Fitch provides specialized ratings of servicers of residential and commercial mortgages, asset managers and
funds. In each case, users should refer to the definitions of each individual scale for guidance on the dimensions of risk covered in
each assessment.
Fitch’s
credit rating scale for issuers and issues is expressed using the
categories
‘AAA’ to
‘BBB’ (investment
grade) and
‘BB’
to
‘D’
(speculative grade)
with an additional
+/-for AA through CCC levels indicating relative differences of
probability of default or recovery for issues.
The
terms “investment grade” and “speculative grade” are
market conventions and do not imply any recommendation or endorsement of a specific security for investment purposes. Investment grade
categories indicate relatively low to moderate credit risk, while ratings in the speculative categories signal either a higher level of
credit risk or that a default has already occurred.
Fitch
may also disclose issues relating to a rated issuer that are not and have not been rated. Such issues are also denoted as ‘NR’
on its web page.
Credit
ratings express risk in relative rank order, which is to say they are ordinal measures of credit risk and
are not predictive of a specific frequency of default or loss. For information about the historical performance of ratings, please refer
to Fitch’s Ratings Transition and Default studies, which detail the historical default rates. The European Securities and Markets
Authority also maintains a central repository of historical default rates. Fitch’s credit ratings do not directly address any risk
other than credit risk. Credit ratings do not deal with the risk of market value loss due to changes in interest rates, liquidity and/or
other market considerations. However, market risk may be considered to the extent that it influences the ability of an issuer to pay or
refinance a financial commitment. Ratings nonetheless do not reflect market risk to the extent that they influence the size or other conditionality
of the obligation to pay upon a commitment (for example, in the case of index-linked bonds).
Fitch
will use credit rating scales to provide ratings to privately issued obligations or certain note issuance
programs,
or for private ratings using the same public scale and criteria.
Private ratings are not published,
and are only provided
to the issuer or its agents
in the form of a rating letter.

Fitch
Long-Term Rating Scales
Issuer
Default Ratings
Rated
entities in a number of sectors, including financial and non-financial corporations, sovereigns, insurance
companies and certain sectors within public finance, are generally assigned Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs). IDRs are also assigned to certain
entities in global infrastructure and project finance. IDRs opine on an entity's relative vulnerability to default on financial obligations.
The threshold default risk addressed by the IDR is generally that of the financial obligations whose non-payment would best reflect the
uncured failure of that entity. As such, IDRs also address relative vulnerability to bankruptcy, administrative receivership or similar
concepts.
In
aggregate, IDRs provide an ordinal ranking of issuers based on the agency's view of their relative vulnerability
to default, rather than a prediction of a specific percentage likelihood of default.
AAA:
Highest credit quality.
'AAA'
ratings denote the lowest expectation of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally
strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA:
Very high credit quality.
'AA'
ratings denote expectations of very low default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial
commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
A:
High credit quality.
'A'
ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB:
Good credit quality.
'BBB'
ratings indicate that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
BB:
Speculative.
'BB'
ratings indicate an elevated vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in
business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial
commitments.
B:
Highly speculative.
'B'
ratings indicate that material default risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments
are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.
CCC:
Substantial credit risk.
Default
is a real possibility.
CC:
Very high levels of credit risk.
Default
of some kind appears probable.
C:
Near default
A
default or default-like process has begun, or the issuer is in standstill, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment
capacity is irrevocably impaired. Conditions that are indicative of a 'C' category rating for an issuer include:
a.
the issuer has entered into a grace or cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
b.
the issuer has entered into a temporary negotiated waiver or standstill agreement following a payment default on a material financial
obligation; or
c.
the formal announcement by the issuer or their agent of a distressed debt exchange;
d.
a closed financing vehicle where payment capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal
in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent
RD:
Restricted default.
‘RD’
ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch’s opinion has experienced:
a.
an uncured payment default or distressed debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but
b.
has not entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and
c.
has not otherwise ceased operating.
This
would include:
i.
the selective payment default on a specific class or currency of debt;
ii.
the uncured expiry of any applicable grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan,
capital markets security or other material financial obligation;
iii.
the extension of multiple waivers or forbearance periods upon a payment default on one or more material financial obligations, either
in series or in parallel; ordinary execution of a distressed debt exchange on one or more material financial obligations.
D:
Default.
'D'
ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch Ratings' opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration,
receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or which has otherwise ceased business.
Default
ratings are not assigned prospectively to entities or their obligations; within this context, non-payment
on an instrument that contains a deferral feature or grace period will generally not be considered a default until after the expiration
of the deferral or grace period, unless a default is otherwise driven by bankruptcy or other similar circumstance, or by a distressed
debt exchange.
In
all cases, the assignment of a default rating reflects the agency's opinion as to the most appropriate rating
category consistent with the rest of its universe of ratings and may differ from the definition of default under the terms of an issuer's
financial obligations or local commercial practice.
Notes
The
modifiers + or - may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such
suffixes are not added to the 'AAA' Long-Term IDR category, or to Long-Term IDR categories below 'B'.
Fitch
Short-Term Ratings Assigned to Issuers and Obligations
A
short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated
entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation.
Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-Term Ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is
viewed as "short term" based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations
and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets.
F1:
Highest Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates the strongest intrinsic
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.
F2:
Good Short-Term Credit Quality. Good intrinsic capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments.
F3:
Fair Short-Term Credit Quality. The intrinsic capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments is adequate.
B:
Speculative Short-Term Credit Quality. Minimal capacity for timely
payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
C:
High Short-Term Default Risk. Default is a real possibility.
RD:
Restricted Default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one
or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically applicable to entity ratings
only.
D:
Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or
the default of a short-term obligation.

APPENDIX
E - PROXY POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Invesco’s
Policy Statement on Global Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting
The
Adviser and each sub-adviser rely on this policy. In addition, Invesco Asset Management (Japan)
Limited and Invesco Asset Management (India) Pvt. Ltd. have also adopted operating guidelines and procedures for proxy voting particular
to each regional investment center. Such guidelines and procedures are attached hereto.
Invesco’s
Policy Statement on Global
Corporate Governance and
Proxy Voting
Effective
January 2022
Invesco
Ltd. and its affiliated investment advisers (collectively, “Invesco”, the “Company”, “our” or
“we”) has adopted and implemented this Policy Statement on Global Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting (“Policy”)
which it believes describes policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of its
clients. This Policy is intended to help Invesco’s clients understand our commitment to responsible investing and proxy voting,
as well as the good governance principles that inform our approach to engagement and voting at shareholder meetings.
A.
Our Commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance Investment Stewardship and
Proxy Voting
Our
commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles is a core element of our ambition to be the most client centric asset
manager. We aspire to incorporate ESG considerations into all of our investment capabilities in the context of financial materiality and
in the best interest of our clients. In our role as stewards of our clients’ investments, we regard our stewardship activities,
including engagement and the exercise of proxy voting rights as an essential component of our fiduciary duty to maximize long-term shareholder
value. Our Global ESG team functions as a center of excellence, providing specialist insights on research, engagement, voting, integration,
tools, and client and product solutions with investment teams implementing ESG approaches appropriate to asset class and investment style.
Much of our work is rooted in fundamental research and frequent dialogue with companies during due diligence and monitoring of our investments.
Invesco
views proxy voting as an integral part of its investment management responsibilities. The proxy voting process at Invesco focuses on protecting
clients’ rights and promoting governance structures and practices that reinforce the accountability of corporate management and
boards of directors to shareholders. The voting decision lies with our portfolio managers and analysts with input and support from our
Global ESG team and Proxy Operations functions. Our proprietary proxy voting platform (“PROXYintel”) facilitates implementation
of voting decisions and rationales across global investment teams. Our good governance principles, governance structure and processes
are designed to ensure that proxy votes are cast in accordance with clients’ best interests.
As
a large active investor, Invesco is well placed to use our ESG expertise and beliefs to engage directly with portfolio companies or by
collaborative means in ways which drive corporate change that we believe will enhance shareholder value. We take our responsibility as
active owners very seriously and see engagement as an opportunity to encourage continual improvement and ensure that our clients’
interests are represented and protected. Dialogue with portfolio companies is a core part of the investment process. Invesco may engage
with investee companies to discuss environmental, social and governance issues throughout the year or on specific ballot items to be voted
on.
Our
passive strategies and certain other client accounts managed in accordance with fixed income, money market and index strategies (including
exchange traded funds) will typically vote in line with the majority holder of the active-equity shares held by Invesco outside of those
strategies. Invesco refers to this approach as “Majority Voting”. This process of Majority Voting ensures that our passive
strategies benefit from the engagement and deep dialogue of our active investors, which Invesco believes benefits shareholders in passively-managed
accounts. In the absence of overlap between the active and passive holders, the passive holders vote in line with our internally developed
voting guidelines (as defined below). Portfolio managers and analysts for accounts employing Majority Voting retain full discretion to
override Majority Voting and to vote the shares as they determine to be in the best interest of those accounts, absent certain types of
conflicts of interest, which are discussed elsewhere in this Policy.
B.
Applicability of Policy
Invesco
may be granted by its clients the authority to vote the proxies of securities held in client portfolios. Invesco’s investment teams
vote proxies on behalf of Invesco-sponsored funds and both fund and non-fund advisory clients that have explicitly granted Invesco authority
in writing to vote proxies on their behalf. In the case of institutional or sub-advised clients, Invesco will vote the proxies in
accordance
with this Policy unless the client agreement specifies that the client retains the right to vote or has designated a named fiduciary to
direct voting.
This
Policy applies to all entities in Exhibit A. Due to regional or asset-class specific considerations, there may be certain entities that
have local proxy voting guidelines or policies and procedures that differ from this Policy. In the event that local policies and the Global
Policy differ, the local policy will apply. These entities are also listed in Exhibit A and include proxy voting guidelines specific to:
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Asset Management (India) Pvt. Ltd, Invesco Taiwan Ltd and Invesco Capital Markets, Inc.
for Invesco Unit Investment Trusts. In Europe, we comply with the Shareholder Rights Directive and publish our disclosures and voting
practices in this regard.
II.
GLOBAL
PROXY VOTING OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES
Invesco’s
global proxy voting operational procedures are in place to implement the provisions of this Policy (the “Procedures”). At
Invesco, proxy voting is conducted by our investment teams through PROXYintel. Our investment teams globally are supported by Invesco’s
centralized team of ESG professionals and proxy voting specialists. Invesco’s Global ESG team oversees the proxy policy, operational
procedures, inputs to analysis and research and leads the Global Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee (“Global IPAC”). Invesco’s
global proxy services team is responsible for operational implementation, including vote execution oversight.
Invesco
aims to vote all proxies where we have been granted voting authority in accordance with this Policy as implemented by the Procedures.
Our portfolio managers and analysts review voting items based on their individual merits and retain full discretion on vote execution
conducted through our proprietary proxy voting platform. Invesco may supplement its internal research with information from independent
third-parties, such as proxy advisory firms.
A.
Proprietary Proxy Voting Platform
Invesco’s
proprietary proxy voting platform is supported by a dedicated team of internal proxy specialists. PROXYintel streamlines the proxy voting
process by providing our investment teams globally with direct access to meeting information and proxies, external proxy research and
ESG ratings, as well as related functions, such as management of conflicts of interest issues, significant votes, global reporting and
record-keeping capabilities. Managing these processes internally, as opposed to relying on third parties, is designed to provide Invesco
greater quality control, oversight and independence in the proxy administration process.
Historical
proxy voting information is stored to build institutional knowledge across the Invesco complex with respect to individual companies and
proxy issues. Certain investment teams also use PROXYintel to access third-party proxy research and ESG ratings.
Our
proprietary systems facilitate internal control and oversight of the voting process. Invesco may choose to leverage this capability to
automatically vote proxies based on its internally developed custom voting guidelines and in circumstances where Majority Voting applies.
B.
Oversight of Voting Operations
Invesco’s
Proxy Governance and Voting Manager provides oversight of the proxy voting verification processes facilitated by a dedicated global proxy
services team which include: (i) the monthly global vote audit review of votes cast containing documented rationales of conflicts of interest
votes, market and operational limitations; (ii) the quarterly sampling of proxy votes cast to determine that (a) Invesco is voting consistently
with this Policy and (b) third-party proxy advisory firms’ methodologies in formulating the vote recommendation are consistent
with their publicly disclosed guidelines; and (iii) quarterly review of rationales with the Global IPAC of occasions where a portfolio
manager may take a position that may not be in accordance with Invesco’s good governance principles and our internally developed
voting guidelines.
To
the extent material errors are identified in the proxy voting process, such errors are reviewed and reported to, as appropriate, the Global
Head of ESG, Global Proxy Governance and Voting Manager,
legal
and compliance, the Global IPAC and relevant boards and clients, where applicable. Invesco’s Global Head of ESG and Proxy Governance
and Voting Manager provide proxy voting updates and reporting to the Global IPAC, various boards and clients. Invesco’s proxy voting
administration and operations are subject to periodic review by Internal Audit and Compliance groups.
C.
Disclosures and Record Keeping
Unless
otherwise required by local or regional requirements, Invesco maintains voting records in either electronic format or hard copy for at
least 6 years. Invesco makes available its proxy voting records publicly in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best
practices in the regions below:
•
In
accordance with the US Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Invesco will file a record of all proxy voting activity for the
prior 12 months ending June 30th for each U.S. registered fund. That filing is made on or before August 31st of each year. Each year,
the proxy voting records are made available on Invesco’s website here.
Moreover, and to the extent applicable, the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”),
including Department of Labor regulations and guidance thereunder, provide that the named fiduciary generally should be able to review
not only the investment manager's voting procedure with respect to plan-owned stock, but also to review the actions taken in individual
proxy voting situations. In the case of institutional and sub-advised Clients, Clients may contact their client service representative
to request information about how Invesco voted proxies on their behalf. Absent specific contractual guidelines, such requests may be made
on a semi-annual basis.
•
In
the UK and Europe, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes monthly in compliance with the UK Stewardship Code and for the European
Shareholder Rights Directive annually here.
•
In
Canada, Invesco publicly discloses our annual proxy votes each year here by August 31st, covering the 12-month period ending June 30th
in compliance with the National Instrument 81-106 Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure.
•
In
Japan, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes annually in compliance with the Japan Stewardship Code.
•
In
India, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes quarterly in compliance with The Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”)
Circular on stewardship code for all mutual funds and all categories of Alternative Investment Funds in relation to their investment in
listed equities. SEBI has implemented principles on voting for Mutual Funds through circulars dated March 15, 2010 and March 24, 2014,
which prescribed detailed mandatory requirements for Mutual Funds in India to disclose their voting policies and actual voting by Mutual
Funds on different resolutions of investee companies.
•
In
Hong Kong, Invesco Hong Kong Limited will provide proxy voting records upon request in compliance with the Securities and Futures Commission
(“SFC”) Principles of Responsible Ownership.
•
In
Taiwan, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy voting policy and proxy votes annually in compliance with Taiwan’s Stewardship Principles
for Institutional Investors.
•
In
Australia, Invesco publicly discloses a summary of its proxy voting record annually here.
D.
Global Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee
Guided
by its philosophy that investment teams should manage proxy voting, Invesco has created the Global IPAC. The Global IPAC is an investments-driven
committee comprised of representatives from various investment management teams globally, Invesco’s Global Head of ESG and chaired
by its Global Proxy Governance and Voting Manager. The Global IPAC provides a forum for investment teams to monitor, understand and discuss
key proxy issues and voting trends within the Invesco complex, to
assist
Invesco in meeting regulatory obligations, to review votes not aligned with our good governance principles and to consider conflicts of
interest in the proxy voting process, all in accordance with this Policy.
In
fulfilling its responsibilities, the Global IPAC meets as necessary, but no less than semi-annually, and has the following responsibilities
and functions: (i) acts as a key liaison between the Global ESG team and local proxy voting practices to ensure compliance with this Policy;
(ii) provides insight on market trends as it relates to stewardship practices; (iii) monitors proxy votes that present potential conflicts
of interest; (iv) the Conflict of Interest sub-committee will make voting decisions on submissions made by portfolio managers on conflict
of interest issues to override the Policy; and (v) reviews and provides input, at least annually, on this Policy and related internal
procedures and recommends any changes to the Policy based on, but not limited to, Invesco’s experience, evolving industry practices,
or developments in applicable laws or regulations.
In
addition to the Global IPAC, for some clients, third parties (e.g., U.S. fund boards) provide oversight of the proxy voting process.
E.
Market and Operational Limitations
In
the great majority of instances, Invesco will vote proxies. However, in certain circumstances, Invesco may refrain from voting where the
economic or other opportunity costs of voting exceeds any benefit to clients. Moreover, ERISA fiduciaries, in voting proxies or exercising
other shareholder rights, must not subordinate the economic interests of plan participants and beneficiaries to unrelated objectives.
These matters are left to the discretion of the relevant portfolio manager. Such circumstances could include, for example:
•
In
some countries the exercise of voting rights imposes temporary transfer restrictions on the related securities (“share blocking”).
Invesco generally refrains from voting proxies in share blocking countries unless Invesco determines that the benefit to the client(s)
of voting a specific proxy outweighs the client’s temporary inability to sell the security.
•
Some
companies require a representative to attend meetings in person to vote a proxy, additional documentation or the disclosure of beneficial
owner details to vote. Invesco may determine that the costs of sending a representative, signing a power-of-attorney or submitting additional
disclosures outweigh the benefit of voting a particular proxy.
•
Invesco
may not receive proxy materials from the relevant fund or client custodian with sufficient time and information to make an informed independent
voting decision.
•
Invesco
held shares on the record date but has sold them prior to the meeting date.
In
some non-U.S. jurisdictions, although Invesco uses reasonable efforts to vote a proxy, proxies may not be accepted or may be rejected
due to changes in the agenda for a shareholder meeting for which Invesco does not have sufficient notice, due to a proxy voting service
not being offered by the custodian in the local market or due to operational issues experienced by third-parties involved in the process
or by the issuer or sub-custodian. In addition, despite the best efforts of Invesco and its proxy voting agent, there may be instances
where our votes may not be received or properly tabulated by an issuer or the issuer’s agent.
F.
Securities Lending
Invesco’s
funds may participate in a securities lending program. In circumstances where shares are on loan, the voting rights of those shares are
transferred to the borrower. If the security in question is on loan as part of a securities lending program, Invesco may determine that
the benefit to the client of voting a particular proxy outweighs the benefits of securities lending. In those instances, Invesco may determine
to recall securities that are on loan prior to the meeting record date, so that we will be entitled to vote those shares. There may be
instances where Invesco may be unable to recall shares or may choose not to recall shares. The relevant portfolio manager will make these
determinations.
G.
Conflicts of Interest
There
may be occasions where voting proxies may present a perceived or actual conflict of interest between Invesco, as investment manager, and
one or more of Invesco’s clients or vendors.

conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a material business relationship with either the company soliciting a proxy or a third party
that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote. Such
relationships may include, among others, a client relationship, serving as a vendor whose products / services are material or significant
to Invesco, serving as a distributor of Invesco’s products, a significant research provider or broker to Invesco.
Invesco
identifies potential conflicts of interest based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to the materiality of the relationship
between the issuer or its affiliates to Invesco.
Material
firm-level conflicts of interests are identified by individuals and groups within Invesco globally based on criteria established by the
global proxy services team. These criteria are monitored and updated periodically by the global proxy services team so as to seek to ensure
an updated view is available when conducting conflicts checks. Operating procedures and associated governance are designed to seek to
ensure conflicts of interest are appropriately considered ahead of voting proxies. The Global IPAC Conflict of Interest Sub-committee
maintains oversight of the process. Companies identified as conflicted will be voted in line with the principles below as implemented
by Invesco’s internally developed voting guidelines. To the extent a portfolio manager disagrees with the Policy, our processes
and procedures seek to ensure justification and rationales are fully documented and presented to the Global IPAC Conflict of Interest
Sub-committee for approval by a majority vote.
As
an additional safeguard, persons from Invesco’s marketing, distribution and other customer-facing functions may not serve on the
Global IPAC. For the avoidance of doubt, Invesco may not consider Invesco Ltd.’s pecuniary interest when voting proxies on behalf
of clients. To avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, Invesco will not vote proxies issued by Invesco Ltd. that may be held in
client accounts.
Personal
Conflicts of Interest
A
conflict also may exist where an Invesco employee has a known personal or business relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals,
participants in proxy contests, corporate directors, or candidates for directorships. Under Invesco’s Global Code of Conduct, Invesco
entities and individuals must act in the best interests of clients and must avoid any situation that gives rise to an actual or perceived
conflict of interest.
All
Invesco personnel with proxy voting responsibilities are required to report any known personal or business conflicts of interest regarding
proxy issues with which they are involved. In such instances, the individual(s) with the conflict will be excluded from the decision-making
process relating to such issues.
Voting
Fund of Funds
There
may be conflicts that can arise from Invesco voting on matters when shares of Invesco-sponsored funds are held by other Invesco funds
or entities. The scenarios below set out how Invesco votes in these instances.
•
In
the United States, as required by law, proportional voting applies.
•
Shares
of an Invesco-sponsored fund held by other Invesco funds will be voted in the same proportion as the votes of external shareholders of
the underlying fund, where required by law.
•
Shares
of an unaffiliated registered fund held by one or more Invesco funds will be voted
in the
same proportion as the votes of external shareholders of the underlying fund where the thresholds are met as required by federal securities
law or any exemption therefrom.
•
To
the extent proportional voting is required by law but not operationally possible, Invesco will not vote the shares.
•
For
US fund of funds where proportional voting is not required by law, Invesco will still apply proportional voting. In the event this is
not operationally possible, Invesco will vote in line with our internally developed voting guidelines (as defined below).
•
For
non-US fund of funds Invesco will vote in line with our above-mentioned firm-level conflicts of interest process unless local policies
are in place as per Exhibit A.
H.
Use of Third-Party Proxy Advisory Services
Invesco
may supplement its internal research with information from independent third-parties, such as proxy advisory firms, to assist us in assessing
the corporate governance of investee companies. Globally, Invesco leverages research from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”)
and Glass Lewis (“GL”). Invesco generally retains full and independent discretion with respect to proxy voting decisions.
ISS
and GL both provide research reports, including vote recommendations, to Invesco and its portfolio managers and analysts. Invesco retains
ISS to provide written analysis and recommendations based on Invesco’s internally developed custom voting guidelines. Updates to
previously issued proxy research reports may be provided to incorporate newly available information or additional disclosure provided
by the issuer regarding a matter to be voted on, or to correct factual errors that may result in the issuance of revised proxy vote recommendations.
Invesco’s global proxy services team may periodically monitor for these research alerts issued by ISS and GL that are shared with
our investment teams. Invesco will generally endeavor to consider such information where such information is considered material provided
it is delivered in a timely manner ahead of the vote deadline.
Invesco
also retains ISS to assist in the implementation of certain proxy voting-related functions, including, but not limited to, operational
and reporting services. These
administrative services include receipt of proxy ballots, vote execution through PROXYintel and vote disclosure in Canada, the UK and
Europe to meet regulatory reporting obligations.
As
part of its fiduciary obligation to clients, Invesco performs extensive initial and ongoing due diligence on the proxy advisory firms
it engages globally. This includes reviews of information regarding the capabilities of their research staff, methodologies for formulating
voting recommendations, the adequacy and quality of personnel and technology, as applicable, and internal controls, policies and procedures,
including those relating to possible conflicts of interest.
The
proxy advisory firms Invesco engages globally complete an annual due diligence questionnaire submitted by Invesco, and Invesco conducts
annual due diligence meetings in part to discuss their responses to the questionnaire. In addition, Invesco monitors and communicates
with these firms and monitors their compliance with Invesco’s performance and policy standards. ISS and GL disclose conflicts to
Invesco through a review of their policies, procedures and practices regarding potential conflicts of interests (including inherent internal
conflicts) as well as disclosure of the work ISS and GL perform for corporate issuers and the payments they receive from such issuers.
As part of
our annual policy development process, Invesco engages with external proxy and governance experts to understand market trends and developments
and to weigh in on
the development of these policies at these firms, where appropriate. These meetings provide Invesco with an opportunity to assess the
firms’ capabilities, conflicts of interest and service levels, as well as provide investment professionals with direct insight
into the advisory firms’ stances on key governance and proxy topics and their policy framework/methodologies.
Invesco
completes a review of the System and Organizational Controls (“SOC”) Reports for each proxy advisory firm to ensure the
related controls operated effectively to provide reasonable assurance.
In
addition to ISS and GL, Invesco may use regional third-party research providers to access regionally specific research.
I.
Review of Policy
The
Global IPAC and Invesco’s Global ESG team, global proxy services team, compliance and legal teams annually communicate and review
this Policy and our internally developed custom voting guidelines to seek to ensure that they remain consistent with clients’ best
interests, regulatory requirements, investment team considerations, governance trends and industry best practices. At least annually,
this Policy and our internally developed voting guidelines are reviewed by various groups within Invesco to ensure that they remain consistent
with Invesco’s views on best practice in corporate governance and long-term investment stewardship.
III.
OUR
GOOD GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES
Invesco’s
good governance principles outline our views on best practice in corporate governance and long-term investment stewardship. These principles
have been developed by our global investment teams in collaboration with the Global ESG team. The broad philosophy and guiding principles
in this section inform our approach to long-term investment stewardship and proxy voting. These principles are not intended to be exhaustive
or prescriptive.
Our
portfolio managers and analysts retain full discretion on vote execution in the context of our good governance principles and internally
developed custom voting guidelines, except where otherwise specified in this Policy. The final voting decisions may consider the unique
circumstances affecting companies, regional best practices and any dialogue we have had with company management. As a result, different
Portfolio Management Teams may vote differently on particular votes for the same company. To the extent a portfolio manager chooses to
vote a proxy in a way that is not aligned with the principles below, such manager’s rationales are fully documented.
The
following guiding principles apply to operating companies. We apply a separate approach to open-end and closed-end investment companies
and unit investment trusts. Where appropriate, these guidelines are supplemented by additional internal guidance that considers regional
variations in best practices, disclosure and region-specific voting items.
Our
good governance principles are divided into six key themes that Invesco endorses.
The
following are high-level governance principles that Invesco endorses:
A.
Transparency
We
expect companies to provide accurate, timely and complete information that enables investors to make informed investment decisions and
effectively carry out their stewardship activities. Invesco supports the highest standards in corporate transparency
and believes that these disclosures should be made available ahead
of the voting deadlines for the Annual General Meeting or Extraordinary General Meeting to allow for timely decision-making.
Financial
reporting: Company accounts and reporting must accurately reflect
the underlying economic position of a company. Arrangements that may constitute an actual or perceived conflict with this objective should
be avoided.
•
We
will generally support proposals to accept the annual financial statements, statutory accounts and similar proposals unless these reports
are not presented in a timely manner or significant issues are identified regarding the integrity of these disclosures.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent audit committee chair, or nearest equivalent, where the non-audit fees paid to the independent
auditor exceed audit fees for two consecutive years
or other
problematic accounting practices are identified such as fraud, misapplication of audit standards or persistent material weaknesses/deficiencies
in internal controls over financial reporting.
•
We
will generally not support the ratification of the independent auditor and/or ratification of their fees payable if non-audit fees exceed
audit and audit related fees or there are significant auditing controversies or questions regarding the independence of the external auditor.
We will consider an auditor’s length of service as a company’s independent auditor in applying this policy.
B.
Accountability
Robust
shareholder rights and strong board oversight help ensure that management adhere to the highest standards of ethical conduct, are held
to account for poor performance and responsibly deliver value creation for stakeholders over the long-term. We therefore encourage companies
to adopt governance features that ensure board and management accountability. In particular, we consider the following as key mechanisms
for enhancing accountability to investors:
One
share one vote: Voting rights are an important tool for investors
to hold boards and management teams accountable. Unequal voting rights may limit the ability of investors to exercise their stewardship
obligations.
•
We
generally do not support proposals that establish or perpetuate dual classes of voting shares, double voting rights or other means of
differentiated voting or disproportionate board nomination rights.
•
We
generally support proposals to decommission differentiated voting rights.
•
Where
unequal voting rights are established, we expect these to be accompanied by reasonable safeguards to protect minority shareholders’
interests.
Anti-takeover
devices: Mechanisms designed to prevent or unduly delay takeover
attempts may unduly limit the accountability of boards and management teams to shareholders.
•
We
generally will not support proposals to adopt antitakeover devices such as poison pills. Exceptions may be warranted at entities without
significant operations and to preserve the value of net operating losses carried forward or where the applicability of the pill is limited
in scope and duration.
•
In
addition, we will generally not support capital authorizations or amendments to corporate articles or bylaws at operating companies that
may be utilized for antitakeover purposes, for example, the authorization of classes of shares of preferred stock with unspecified voting,
dividend, conversion or other rights (“blank check” authorizations).
Shareholder
rights: We support the rights of shareholders to hold boards and
management teams accountable for company performance. We generally support best practice aligned proposals to enhance shareholder rights,
including but not limited to the following:
•
Adoption
of proxy access rights
•
Rights
to call special meetings
•
Rights
to act by written consent
•
Reduce
supermajority vote requirements
•
Remove
antitakeover provisions
•
Requirement
that directors are elected by a majority vote
In
addition, we oppose practices that limit shareholders’ ability to express their views at a general meeting such as bundling unrelated
proposals or several significant article or bylaw amendments into a
single
voting item. We will generally vote against these proposals unless we are satisfied that all the underlying components are aligned with
our views on best practice.
Director
Indemnification: Invesco recognizes that individuals may be reluctant
to serve as corporate directors if they are personally liable for all related lawsuits and legal costs. As a result, reasonable limitations
on directors’ liability can benefit a company and its shareholders by helping to attract and retain qualified directors while preserving
recourse for shareholders in the event of misconduct by directors. Accordingly, unless there is insufficient information to make a decision
about the nature of the proposal, Invesco will generally support proposals to limit directors’ liability and provide indemnification
and/or exculpation, provided that the arrangements are reasonably limited in scope to directors acting in good faith and, in relation
to criminal matters, limited in scope to directors having reasonable grounds for believing the conduct was lawful.
Responsiveness:
Boards should respond to investor concerns in a timely fashion, including reasonable requests to engage with company representatives regarding
such concerns, and address matters that receive significant voting dissent at general meetings of shareholders.
•
We
will generally vote against the lead independent director and/or the incumbent chair of the governance committee, or nearest equivalent,
in cases where the board has not adequately responded to items receiving significant voting opposition from shareholders at an annual
or extraordinary general meeting.
•
We
will generally vote against the lead independent director and/or incumbent chair of the governance committee, or nearest equivalent, where
the board has not adequately responded to a shareholder proposal which has received significant support from shareholders.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent chair of the compensation committee if there are significant ongoing concerns with a company’s
compensation practices that have not been addressed by the committee or egregious concerns with the company’s compensation practices
for two years consecutively.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent compensation committee chair where there are ongoing concerns with a company’s compensation
practices and there is no opportunity to express dissatisfaction by voting against an advisory vote on executive compensation, remuneration
report (or policy) or nearest equivalent.
•
Where
a company has not adequately responded to engagement requests from Invesco or satisfactorily addressed issues of concern, we may oppose
director nominations, including, but not limited to, nominations for the lead independent director and/or committee chairs.
C.
Board Composition and Effectiveness
Director
election process: Board members should generally
stand for election annually and individually.
•
We
will generally support proposals requesting that directors stand for election annually.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent governance committee chair or lead independent director if a company has a classified board
structure that is not being phased out. We may make exceptions to this policy for non-operating companies
(e.g., open-end and closed-end funds) or in regions where market
practice is for directors to stand for election on a staggered basis.
•
When
a board is presented for election as a slate (e.g., shareholders are unable to vote against individual nominees and must vote for or against
the entire nominated slate of directors) and this approach is not aligned with local market practice, we will generally vote against the
slate in cases where we otherwise would vote against an individual nominee.
•
Where
market practice is to elect directors as a slate we will generally support the nominated
slate
unless there are governance concerns with several of the individuals included on the slate or we have broad concerns with the composition
of the board such as a lack independence.
Board
size: We will generally defer to the board with respect to determining
the optimal number of board members given the size of the company and complexity of the business, provided that the proposed board size
is sufficiently large to represent shareholder interests and sufficiently limited to remain effective.
Board
assessment and succession planning: When evaluating board effectiveness,
Invesco considers whether periodic performance reviews and skills assessments are conducted to ensure the board represents the interests
of shareholders. In addition, boards should have a robust succession plan in place for key management and board personnel.
Definition
of independence: Invesco considers local market definitions of
director independence but applies a proprietary standard for assessing director independence considering a director’s status as
a current or former employee of the business, any commercial or consulting relationships with the company, the level of shares beneficially
owned or represented and familial relationships, among others.
Board
and committee independence: The board of directors, board committees
and regional equivalents should be sufficiently independent from management, substantial shareholders and conflicts of interest. We consider
local market practices in this regard and in general we look for a balance across the board of directors. Above all, we like to see signs
of robust challenge and discussion in the boardroom.
•
We
will generally vote against one or more non-independent directors when a board is less than majority independent, but we will take into
account local market practice with regards to board independence in limited circumstances where this standard is not appropriate.
•
We
will generally vote against non-independent directors serving on the audit committee.
•
We
will generally vote against non-independent directors serving on the compensation committee.
•
We
will generally vote against non-independent directors serving on the nominating committee.
•
In
relation to the board, compensation committee and nominating committee we will consider the appropriateness of significant shareholder
representation in applying this policy. This exception will generally not apply to the audit committee.
Separation
of Chair and CEO roles: We believe that independent board leadership
generally enhances management accountability to investors. Companies deviating from this best practice should provide a strong justification
and establish safeguards to ensure that there is independent oversight of a board’s activities (e.g., by appointing a lead or senior
independent director with clearly defined powers and responsibilities).
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee chair where the board chair is not independent unless a lead independent
or senior director is appointed.
•
We
will generally support shareholder proposals requesting that the board chair be an independent director.
•
We
will generally not vote against a CEO or executive serving as board chair solely on the basis of this issue, however, we may do so in
instances where we have significant concerns regarding a company’s corporate governance, capital allocation decisions and/or compensation
practices.
Attendance
and over boarding: Director
attendance at board and committee meetings is
a fundamental part of their responsibilities and provides efficient oversight for the company and its investors. In addition, directors
should not have excessive external board or managerial commitments that may interfere with their ability to execute the duties of a director.
•
We
will generally vote against directors who attend less than 75% of board and committee meetings held in the previous year unless an acceptable
extenuating circumstance is disclosed, such
as health matters or family emergencies.
•
We
will generally vote against directors who have more than four total mandates at public operating companies. We apply a lower threshold
for directors with significant commitments such as executive positions and chairmanships.
Diversity:
We encourage companies to continue to evolve diversity and inclusion practices. Boards should be comprised of directors with a variety
of relevant skills and industry expertise together with a diverse profile of individuals of different genders, ethnicities, race, skills,
tenures and backgrounds in order to provide robust challenge and debate. We consider diversity at the board level, within the executive
management team and in the succession pipeline.
•
We
will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee chair of a board where women constitute less than two board members or
25% of the board, whichever is lower, for two or more consecutive years, unless incremental improvements are being made to diversity practices.
•
In
addition, we will consider a company’s performance on broader types of diversity which may include diversity of skills, non-executive
director tenure, ethnicity,
race or other factors where appropriate and reasonably determinable. We will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee
chair if there are multiple concerns on diversity issues.
•
We
generally believe that an individual board’s nominating committee is best positioned to determine whether director term limits
would be an appropriate measure to help achieve these goals and, if so, the nature of such limits. Invesco generally opposes proposals
to limit the tenure of outside directors through mandatory retirement ages.
D.
Long Term Stewardship of Capital
Capital
allocation:
Invesco expects companies to responsibly raise and deploy capital towards the long-term, sustainable success of the business. In addition,
we expect capital allocation authorizations and decisions to be made with due regard to shareholder dilution, rights of shareholders to
ratify significant corporate actions and pre-emptive rights, where applicable.
Share
issuance and repurchase authorizations: We generally support authorizations
to issue shares up to 20% of a company’s issued share capital for general corporate purposes. Shares should not be issued at a
substantial discount to the market price or be repurchased at a substantial premium to the market price.
Stock
splits: We generally support management proposals to implement
a forward or reverse stock split, provided that a reverse stock split is not being used to take a company private. In addition, we will
generally support requests to increase a company’s common stock authorization if requested in order to facilitate a stock split.
Increases
in authorized share capital: We will generally support proposals
to increase a company’s number of authorized common and/or preferred shares, provided we have not identified concerns regarding
a company’s historical share issuance activity or the potential to use these authorizations for antitakeover purposes. We will
consider the amount of the request in relation to the company’s current authorized share capital, any proposed corporate transactions
contingent on approval of these requests and the cumulative impact on a company’s authorized share capital, for example, if a reverse
stock split is concurrently submitted for shareholder consideration.
Mergers,
acquisitions, proxy contests, disposals and other corporate transactions:
Invesco’s investment teams will review proposed corporate transactions including mergers, acquisitions,
reorganizations,
proxy contests, private placements, dissolutions and divestitures based on a proposal’s individual investment merits. In addition,
we broadly approach voting on other corporate transactions as follows:
•
We
will generally support proposals to approve different types of restructurings that provide the necessary financing to save the company
from involuntary bankruptcy.
•
We
will generally support proposals to enact corporate name changes and other proposals related to corporate transactions that we believe
are in shareholders’ best interests.
•
We
will generally support reincorporation proposals, provided that management have provided a compelling rationale for the change in legal
jurisdiction and provided further that the proposal will not significantly adversely impact shareholders’ rights.
•
With
respect to contested director elections, we consider the following factors, among others, when evaluating the merits of each list of nominees:
the long term performance of the company relative to its industry, management’s track record, any relevant background information
related to the contest, the qualifications of the respective lists of director nominees, the strategic merits of the approaches proposed
by both sides including the likelihood that the proposed goals can be met, positions of stock ownership in the company.
E.
Environmental, Social and Governance Risk Oversight
Director
responsibility for risk oversight: The board of directors are ultimately
responsible for overseeing management and ensuring that proper governance, oversight and control mechanisms are in place at the companies
they oversee. Invesco may take voting action against director nominees in response to material governance or risk oversight failures that
adversely affect shareholder value.
Invesco
considers the adequacy of a company's response to material oversight failures when determining whether any voting action is warranted.
In addition, Invesco will consider the responsibilities delegated to board subcommittees when determining if it is appropriate to hold
certain director nominees accountable for these material failures.
Material
governance or risk oversight failures at a company may include, without limitation:
i.
significant
bribery, corruption or ethics violations;
ii.
events
causing significant climate-related risks;
iii.
significant
health and safety incidents; or
iv.
failure
to ensure the protection of human rights.
Reporting
of financially material ESG information: Companies should report
on their environmental, social and governance opportunities and risks where material to their business operations.
•
Where
Invesco finds significant gaps in terms of management and disclosure of environmental, social and governance risk policies, we will generally
vote against the annual reporting and accounts or an equivalent resolution.
Shareholder
proposals addressing environmental and social risks: Invesco may
support shareholder resolutions requesting that specific actions be taken to address environmental and social (“E&S”)
issues or mitigate exposure to material E&S risks, including reputational risk, related to these issues. When considering such proposals,
we will consider a company's track record on E&S issues, the efficacy of the proposal's request,
whether the requested action is unduly burdensome, and whether
we consider the adoption of such a proposal would promote long-term shareholder value. We will also consider company responsiveness to
the proposal and any engagement on the issue when casting votes.
•
We
generally do not support resolutions where insufficient information has been provided in advance of the vote or a lack of disclosure inhibits
our ability to make fully informed voting decisions.
•
We
will generally support shareholder resolutions requiring additional disclosure on material environmental, social and governance risks
facing their businesses, provided that such requests are not unduly burdensome or duplicative with a company’s existing reporting.
These may include, but are not limited to,
reporting on the following: gender and racial diversity issues, political contributions and lobbying disclosure, information on data security,
privacy, and internet practices, human capital and labor issues and the use of natural capital, and reporting on climate change-related
risks.
Ratification
of board and/or management acts: We will generally support proposals
to ratify the actions of the board of directors, supervisory board and/or executive decision-making bodies, provided there are no material
oversight failures as described above. When such oversight concerns are identified, we will consider a company’s response to any
issues raised and may vote against ratification proposals instead of, or in addition to, director nominees.
F.
Executive Compensation and Alignment
Invesco
supports compensation polices and equity incentive plans that promote alignment between management incentives and shareholders’
long-term interests. We pay close attention to local market practice and may apply stricter or modified criteria where appropriate.
Advisory
votes on executive compensation, remuneration policy and remuneration reports:
We will generally not support compensation related proposals where more than one of the following is present:
i.
there
is an unmitigated misalignment between executive pay and company performance for at least two consecutive years;
ii.
there
are problematic compensation practices which may include among others incentivizing excessive risk taking or circumventing alignment between
management and shareholders’ interests via repricing of underwater options;
iii.
vesting
periods for long term incentive awards are less than three years;
iv.
the
company “front loads” equity awards;
v.
there
are inadequate risk mitigating features in the program such as clawback provisions;
vi.
excessive,
discretionary one-time equity grants are awarded to executives;
vii.
less
than half of variable pay is linked to performance targets, except where prohibited by law.
Invesco
will consider company reporting on pay ratios as part of our evaluation of compensation proposals, where relevant.
Equity
plans: Invesco generally supports equity compensation plans that
promote the proper alignment of incentives with shareholders’ long-term interests, and generally votes against plans that are overly
dilutive to existing shareholders, plans that contain objectionable structural features which may include provisions to reprice options
without shareholder approval, plans that include evergreen provisions or plans that provide for automatic accelerated vesting upon a change
in control.
Employee
stock purchase plans: We generally support 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 represents a reasonable discount from the market price.
Severance
Arrangements: Invesco considers proposed severance arrangements
(sometimes known as “golden parachute” arrangements) on a case-by-case basis due to the wide variety among their terms.
Invesco acknowledges that in some cases such arrangements, if reasonable, may be in shareholders’
best
interests as a method of attracting and retaining high-quality executive talent. We generally vote in favor of proposals requiring shareholder
ratification of senior executives’ severance agreements where the proposed terms and disclosure align with good market practice.

Stewardship Policy
Introduction
This
paper describes Invesco’s approach to stewardship in the UK and in particular how our policy and procedures
meet the requirements of the Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC) UK Stewardship Code (the Code). Its purpose is to increase understanding
of the philosophy, beliefs and practices that drive the Henley Investment Centre’s behaviours as a significant institutional investor
in markets around the world.
Invesco’s
Henley Investment Centre has supported the development of good governance in the UK and beyond
for many years. We are signatories and supporters of the FRC’s Stewardship Code. The Code sets out a number of areas of good practice
to which the FRC believes institutional investors should aspire. It also describes steps asset owners can take to protect and enhance
the value that accrues to the ultimate beneficiary.
This
document is designed to describe how we approach our stewardship responsibilities and how this is consistent
with and complies with the Code. It also provides useful links to relevant documents, codes and regulation for those who would like to
look further at the broader context of our policy and the Code, as well as our commitment to other initiatives in this area, such as the
UN supported Principles for Responsible Investment, of which Invesco is a signatory.
Key
contact details are available at the end of this document should you have any questions on any aspect
of our stewardship activities.
What
is the UK Stewardship Code?
The
UK Stewardship Code is a set of principles and guidance for institutional investors which represents current
best practice on how they should perform their stewardship duties. The purpose of the Code is to improve 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 was published by the FRC in July 2010, was updated in September 2012, and will continue to be overseen by the FRC. Commitment
to the Code is on a “comply or explain” basis.
Our
compliance with the UK Stewardship Code
Invesco
is committed to being a responsible investor. We serve our clients in this space as a trusted partner
both on specific responsible investment product strategies as well as part of our commitment to deliver a superior investment experience.
Invesco signed the UN sponsored Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2013 thereby formalising our commitment to responsible
investment globally. We achieved an A+ rating in our 2017 PRI assessment for our strategy and governance in responsible investment. This
rating demonstrates our extensive efforts in terms of environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration, active ownership, investor
collaboration and transparency. The diversity of Invesco means that investment centres and strategies will vary in their approaches to
implementation of responsible investment. Global resources both in terms of external research input and a global team of experts underpin
and drive this effort alongside our investment centres. Invesco is a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code. The Code sets out seven principles,
which support good practice on engagement with investee companies, and to which the FRC believes institutional investors should aspire.
The
Henley Investment Centre takes its responsibilities for investing its clients’ money very seriously. As a core
part of the investment process, its 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 takes into account ESG issues.
Being
a major shareholder in a company is more than simply expecting to benefit from its future earnings streams.
In the Henley Investment Centre’s 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 management’s
thoughts.
We
recognize that different asset classes will vary in their approach to implementation of stewardship activities.
Where relevant, the fixed interest and multi-asset teams consider ESG elements as part of their investment research.
The
Henley Investment Centre 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. This is considered more appropriate
than undertaking the direct management of investee companies, which we believe should always remain the responsibility of the directors
and executives of those companies.
The
Henley Investment Centre may at times seek to influence strategies of investee companies, where appropriate,
on behalf of its clients, but it will never seek to be involved in the day to day running of any investee companies. The Henley Investment
Centre considers that being an active shareholder 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 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. Given that the majority of the Henley Investment Centre’s investments are part of a very active
asset management culture, engagement with those companies in which it chooses to invest its clients’ money is very important. Encouraging
high standards of corporate governance within those companies that it invests is key to achieving successful outcomes for its clients.
The
Henley Investment Centre sets out below how it complies with each principle of the FRC’s Stewardship
code, or details why we have chosen to take a different approach, where relevant.
Scope
The
scope of this policy covers all portfolios that are managed by the Invesco 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, all falling under the broader global policy. As an example,
within Invesco’s UK ICVC range the following funds are excluded: Invesco US Enhanced Index Fund (UK), Invesco Balanced Risk 8 Fund
(UK), Invesco Balanced Risk 10 Fund (UK), Invesco European ex UK Enhanced Index Fund (UK), Invesco Global Balanced Index Fund (UK), Invesco
Global ex-UK Core Equity Index Fund (UK), Invesco Global ex-UK Enhanced Index Fund (UK), Invesco Hong Kong & China Fund (UK), Invesco
Japanese Smaller Companies Fund (UK) and Invesco UK Enhanced Index Fund (UK).
Introduction
to the principles of the Stewardship Code
There
are 7 principles under the Stewardship Code. Each principle is accompanied by guidance to help investors
focus on how to meet it.
The
principles are as follows:
Principle
1: Institutional investors should publicly disclose their policy
on how they will discharge their stewardship responsibilities.
Principle
2: Institutional investors should have a robust policy on managing
conflicts of interest in relation to stewardship and this policy should be publicly disclosed.
Principle
3: Institutional investors should monitor their investee companies.
Principle
4: Institutional investors should establish clear guidelines on
when and how they will escalate their activities as a method of protecting and enhancing shareholder value.
Principle
5: Institutional investors should be willing to act collectively
with other investors where appropriate.
Principle
6: Institutional investors should have a clear policy on voting
and disclosure of voting activity.
Principle
7: Institutional investors should report periodically on their
stewardship and voting activities.
Principle
1
Institutional
investors should publicly disclose their policy on how they will discharge their stewardship
responsibilities.
Guidance
Stewardship
activities include monitoring and engaging with companies on matters such as strategy, performance,
risk, capital structure and corporate governance, including culture and remuneration.
Engagement
is purposeful dialogue with companies on those matters as well as on issues that are the immediate
subject of votes at general meetings.
The
policy should disclose how the institutional investor applies stewardship with the aim of enhancing and
protecting the value for the ultimate beneficiary or client.
The
statement should reflect the institutional investor’s activities within the investment chain, as well as the
responsibilities that arise from those activities. In particular, the stewardship responsibilities of those whose primary activities are
related to asset ownership may be different from those whose primary activities are related to asset management or other investment related
services.
Where
activities are outsourced, the statement should explain how this is compatible with the proper exercise
of the institutional investor’s stewardship responsibilities and what steps the investor has taken to ensure that they are carried
out in a manner consistent with the approach to stewardship set out in the statement.
The
disclosure should describe arrangements for integrating stewardship within the wider investment process.
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
The
Henley Investment Centre complies with Principle 1 by publishing Invesco’s Global Policy Statement on
Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting and this document around the specific application to Invesco on its website.
In
this document we explain our philosophy on stewardship, our proxy voting policy and how we deal with conflicts
of interest. In addition, this statement of compliance with the UK Stewardship Code indicates how the Henley Investment Centre addresses
engagement, monitoring, and incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities within our investment process. All of our
activities are aimed at enhancing and protecting the value of our investments for our clients.
These
documents are reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
Integration
of stewardship activities as part of the wider investment process
The
investment process and philosophy in Henley is rooted in a culture of long term, valuation led, active management.
Fundamental research of companies includes a holistic set of factors.
When
analysing companies’ prospects for future profitability and hence returns to shareholders, we will take
many variables into account, including but not limited to, the following:
•
Nomination
and audit committees
•
Remuneration
policies, reporting and directors’ remuneration
•
Board
balance and structure
•
Financial
reporting principles
•
Internal
control system and annual review of its effectiveness
•
Dividend
and Capital Management policies
Frequent
dialogue with companies on these topics is an essential part of our fundamental research process
and we will regularly support companies to improve and develop overtime. As such, stewardship is core to our wider investment process.
Dialogue
with companies
We
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 ESG issues where these may impact on the best interests of clients. In discussion
with company boards and senior non-Executive Directors, we 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, the Henley Investment Centre will seek to influence the direction of that company where practicable. In
our view, this is part of our responsibility to clients.
Ultimately
the business’ performance will have an impact on the returns generated by the Henley Investment
Centre’s portfolios, whether it is in terms of share price performance or dividends, and the business wants to seek to ensure that
the capital invested on behalf of its clients is being used as effectively as possible. In the majority of cases the business 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.
Corporate
engagement provides an opportunity for regular reviews of these issues.
The
building of this relationship facilitates frank and open discussion, and on-going interaction is an integral
part of the fund manager’s role. The fact that the Henley Investment Centre has been a major shareholder in a number of companies
for a long time, reflects both the fact that the 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. It adds depth to the sophistication of our understanding
of the firm, its clients and markets. Inevitably there are times when our views diverge from those of the companies’ executives
but, where possible, we attempt to work with companies towards a practical solution. However, the Henley Investment Centre 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 we prefer to push for change, (i.e. we believe that we are more influential as an
owner of equity) even if this can be a slow process.
Specifically
when considering resolutions put to shareholders, we will pay attention to the companies’ compliance
with the relevant local requirements.
Non-routine
resolutions and other topics
These
will be considered on a case-by-case basis and where proposals are put to a 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).
Other
considerations that the Henley Investment Centre might apply to non-routine proposals will include:
•
The
degree to which the company’s stated position on the issue could affect its reputation and/or sales, or leave it vulnerable to
boycott or selective purchasing
•
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 Board’s discretion
Principle
2
Institutional
investors should have a robust policy on managing conflicts of interest in relation to stewardship
and this policy should be publicly disclosed.
Guidance
An
institutional investor’s duty is to act in the interests of its clients and/or beneficiaries.
Conflicts
of interest will inevitably arise from time to time, which may include when voting on matters affecting
a parent company or client.
Institutional
investors should put in place, maintain and publicly disclose a policy for identifying and managing
conflicts of interest with the aim of taking all reasonable steps to put the interests of their client or beneficiary first. The policy
should also address how matters are handled when the interests of clients or beneficiaries diverge from each other.
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
Invesco
is required to take all appropriate steps to identify, manage, record and, where relevant, disclose actual
or potential conflicts of interest between ourselves (including our managers and employees and any person directly or indirectly linked)
and our clients and between one client and another. Invesco has a UK Conflicts of Interest Policy which lists the types of potential conflicts
of interest which may arise through the normal course of business whose existence may damage the interests of clients and details the
administrative arrangements taken to prevent and manage these. A copy of the UK Conflicts of Interest Policy is provided to investors
on request.
Invesco
has a UK Code of Ethics for its employees which covers expectations around our principles and obligations
as a fiduciary, material non-public information, personal account dealing, outside business activity, and other potential conflicts of
interest. All employees are required to provide an annual attestation that they have read the Code of Ethics and will comply with its
provisions.
Invesco
maintains policies and procedures that deal with conflicts of interest in all of its business dealings. In
particular in relation to conflicts of interest that exist in its stewardship and proxy voting activities, these policies can be found
in the Global Policy Statement on Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting found on our website.
There
may be occasions where voting proxies may present a real or perceived conflict of interest between Invesco,
as investment manager, and one or more of Invesco’s clients or vendors. Under Invesco’s Code of Conduct, Invesco entities
and individuals are strictly prohibited from putting personal benefit, whether tangible
or
intangible, before the interests of clients. “Personal benefit” includes any intended benefit for Invesco, oneself
or any other individual, company, group or organization of any kind whatsoever, except a benefit for the relevant Invesco client.
Firm-level
Conflicts of Interest
A
conflict of interest may exist if Invesco has a material business relationship with, or is actively soliciting business
from, either the company soliciting a proxy vote or a third party that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that
is actively lobbying for a particular outcome of a proxy vote (e.g., issuers that are distributors of Invesco’s products, or issuers
that employ Invesco to manage portions of their retirement plans or treasury accounts). Invesco’s proxy administration team maintains
a list of all such issuers for which a conflict of interest actually exists.
If
the proposal that gives rise to the potential conflict is specifically addressed by this Policy or the operating
guidelines and procedures of the relevant regional investment centre, Invesco generally will vote the proxy in accordance therewith. Where
this is not the case, Invesco operates a global Invesco proxy advisory committee (IPAC) who will vote the proxy based on the majority
vote of its members (see full description of IPAC in the section on Principle 6).
Because
this Policy and the operating guidelines and procedures of each regional investment centre are pre-determined
and crafted to be in the best economic interest of clients, applying them to vote client proxies should, in most instances, adequately
resolve any potential conflict of interest. As an additional safeguard, persons from Invesco’s marketing, distribution and other
customer-facing functions may not serve on the IPAC.
Personal
Conflicts of Interest
A
conflict also may exist where an Invesco employee has a known personal relationship with other proponents
of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests, corporate directors or candidates for directorships.
All
Invesco personnel with proxy voting responsibilities are required to report any known personal conflicts of
interest regarding proxy issues with which they are involved.
In
such instances, the individual(s) with the conflict will be excluded from the decision making process relating
to such issues.
Other
Conflicts of Interest
In
order to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest, Invesco will not vote proxies issued by, or related
to matters involving, Invesco Ltd. that may be held in client accounts from time to time.
Principle
3
Institutional
investors should monitor their investee companies.
Guidance
Effective
monitoring is an essential component of stewardship. It should take place regularly and be checked
periodically for effectiveness.
When
monitoring companies, institutional investors should seek to:
•
Keep
abreast of the company’s performance;
•
Keep
abreast of developments, both internal and external to the company, that drive the company’s value and risks;
•
Satisfy
themselves that the company’s leadership is effective;
•
Satisfy
themselves that the company’s board and committees adhere to the spirit of the UK Corporate Governance Code, including through
meetings with the chairman and other board members;
•
Consider
the quality of the company’s reporting; and
•
Attend
the General Meetings of companies in which they have a major holding, where appropriate and practicable
Institutional
investors should consider carefully explanations given for departure from the UK Corporate Governance
Code and make reasoned judgements in each case. They should give a timely explanation to the company, in writing where appropriate, and
be prepared to enter a dialogue if they do not accept the company’s position.
Institutional
investors should endeavour to identify at an early stage issues that may result in a significant loss
in investment value. If they have concerns, they should seek to ensure that the appropriate members of the investee company’s board
or management are made aware.
Institutional
investors may or may not wish to be made insiders. An institutional investor who may be willing
to become an insider should indicate in its stewardship statement the willingness to do so, and the mechanism by which this could be done.
Institutional
investors will expect investee companies and their advisers to ensure that information that could
affect their ability to deal in the shares of the company concerned is not conveyed to them without their prior agreement.
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
Through
the Henley Investment Centre’s active investment process, fund managers endeavour to establish
on a proportionate basis, on-going dialogue with company management and this includes regular meetings. The business will also engage
with companies on particular ESG related matters.
Meeting
investee companies is a core part of the investment process and the Henley Investment Centre is
committed to keeping records of all key engagement activities.
However,
meeting company management is not the only method of corporate engagement.
•
Our
investment teams regularly review company filings and publicly available information to gain a fuller understanding of the relevant company.
•
We
also attend public meetings that companies call in order to hear from company boards and to discuss topics with other company shareholders
on an informal basis.
•
Our
investment teams also utilise research provided by market participants on the companies that we invest in. This allows us to understand
what other participants in the capital markets think about those companies, and helps us develop a more rounded view. Invesco expenses
research costs.
•
Our
investment teams have access to external corporate governance research that flags corporate non-compliance with best practice corporate
governance standards. While we believe this is a helpful guide, we consider each company on a case by case basis and may well support
management where we believe this is in our clients’ best interest.
This
approach, and these methods of gaining information allows us to review the performance of our investee
companies on a regular basis, and ask questions and raise concerns promptly.
Invesco’s
approach to the receipt of “inside information”
Invesco
has a global and interconnected asset management business without internal information barriers,
which means that the receipt of inside information by one area of Invesco’s global business results in all of Invesco’s
global business being deemed to be in receipt of inside information.
The
Henley Investment Centre acknowledges that the receipt of inside information has the potential to negatively
impact other investment teams, our clients and more generally the efficient and fair operation of capital markets.
For
these reasons and as a matter of general policy the business does not want to receive inside information.
However,
it is acknowledged that as part of the Henley Investment Centre’s investment approach and duty
to act in the best interests of our clients, there are circumstances in which the business may receive inside information which are detailed
further in relevant procedures and policies.
The
Henley Investment Centre’s investment approach is about forming strong, long term relationships with
the companies it invests in. We do this by maintaining regular and direct contact with corporate brokers and the management of companies
that they invest in so that we can build real insight into and a deep understanding of such companies, as well as the markets and industry
in which they operate.
This,
along with the corporate governance responsibilities of being long term asset managers, means participating
in meaningful conversations about our investee companies with the company itself and its advisors. This approach provides us with the
opportunity to engage in discussions regarding the direction of the strategy of those companies before decisions by the companies have
been made. Such engagement is an important aspect of the exercise of our responsibilities as asset manager owners.
Fund
managers individually have a key fiduciary responsibility in assessing information received and managing
it effectively. In accepting that fund managers may be exposed to receiving inside information, the business has in place policies and
procedures to effectively manage this risk. Anyone in receipt of inside information should only disclose to colleagues where necessary
or required through the normal course of business and on a “need to know” basis. As soon as an individual has received inside
information and been made an insider, compliance will be notified together with the names of those known to also be in receipt of the
information. Compliance will update the Invesco “insider list” and ensure trading systems are updated to prevent any further
trading until the information becomes public. Further details are available upon request.
Principle
4
Institutional
investors should establish clear guidelines on when and how they will escalate their activities
as a method of protecting and enhancing shareholder value.
Guidance
Institutional
investors should set out the circumstances in which they will actively intervene and regularly assess
the outcomes of doing so. Intervention should be considered regardless of whether an active or passive investment policy is followed.
In addition, being underweight is not, of itself, a reason for not intervening. Instances when institutional investors may want to intervene
include, but are not limited to, when they have concerns about the company’s strategy, performance, governance, remuneration or
approach to risks, including those that may arise from social and environmental matters.
Initial
discussions should take place on a confidential basis. However, if companies do not respond constructively
when institutional investors intervene, then institutional investors should consider whether to escalate their action, for example, by:
•
Holding
additional meetings with management specifically to discuss concerns;
•
Expressing
concerns through the company’s advisers;
•
Meeting
with the chairman or other board members;
•
Intervening
jointly with other institutions on particular issues;
•
Making
a public statement in advance of General Meetings;
•
Submitting
resolutions and speaking at General Meetings; and
•
Requisitioning
a General Meeting, in some cases proposing to change board membership
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
The
Henley Investment Centre’s fund managers escalate stewardship activities in several stages. Initially any
issues/concerns would be raised by its fund managers through a process of on-going dialogue and company meetings. We may then take a number
of actions to escalate our concerns along the lines of a broad escalation hierarchy, via a number of different approaches including (but
not limited to) as follows:
•
Meeting
with non-executive members of company boards to discuss our concerns
•
Attendance
and active participation at company annual general meetings (AGMs)
•
Writing
of letters to company boards expressing our concerns and requiring action to be taken
•
Votes
against management through the use of proxy voting on company resolutions
On
occasions where a fund manager believes an issue is significant enough to be escalated, we will ensure
the relevant internal resources are made available to support the fund manager in securing the most appropriate outcome for our clients.
Examples
of issues that would prompt us to escalate our concerns may include:
•
Poor
examples of corporate governance practice within companies – for example where management structures are created that increase
conflicts of interest, or leave management control in the hands of dominant shareholders.
•
Concerns
over remuneration policies at companies where those policies do not align with the ongoing positive growth of the company. This may include
us exercising our proxy votes against the reappointment of chairs of the remuneration committees in order to express our concerns.
•
Where
the strategic direction of companies that we invest in changes significantly, and does not match with the original investment rationale
that attracted us to the company in the first place, and where we believe that the new strategy will no longer return the best value to
shareholders, and ultimately to our clients.
•
Where
Board structure or individual composition at an investee company does not meet our standards in terms of the qualifications and expertise
required.
We
believe that our approach to escalation is consistent with the intent of the Code. However, because we
approach each engagement individually we do not see this as a mechanistic process, and therefore our approach will vary based on the individual
situations. Through regular and frank meetings with management, we try as much as possible to raise queries and issues before they become
areas of concern that require more direct intervention – such as votes against management or disinvestment of positions.
Our
preference is to engage privately as we believe it better serves the long-term interests of our clients to
establish relationships, and a reputation with companies that enhances rather than hinders dialogue.
Principle
5
Institutional
investors should be willing to act collectively with other investors where appropriate
Guidance
At
times collaboration with other investors may be the most effective manner in which to engage.
Collective
engagement may be most appropriate at times of significant corporate or wider economic stress,
or when the risks posed threaten to destroy significant value.
Institutional
investors should disclose their policy on collective engagement, which should indicate their readiness
to work with other investors through formal and informal groups when this is necessary to achieve
their
objectives and ensure companies are aware of concerns. The disclosure should also indicate the kinds of
circumstances in which the institutional investor would consider participating in collective engagement.
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
The
Henley Investment Centre is supportive of collective engagement in cases where objectives between parties
are mutually agreeable and there are no conflicts of interest.
In
taking collaborative action we are cognisant of legal and regulatory requirements, including on market abuse,
insider dealing and concert party regulations.
The
Investment Association (IA), the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF) and the
UN backed Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) coordinate and support collective shareholder meetings which can be very effective
as they are carried out in a neutral environment. Where we have an interest, we are regular participants in such meetings.
Invesco
are also members of the UK Investor Forum, an organisation set up to create an effective model for
collective engagement with UK companies.
All
of our engagement activities are undertaken in the best interests of our clients.
Principle
6
Institutional
investors should have a clear policy on voting and disclosure of voting activity
Guidance
Institutional
investors should seek to vote on all shares held. They should not automatically support the board.
If
they have been unable to reach a satisfactory outcome through active dialogue then they should register
an abstention or vote against the resolution. In both instances, it is good practice to inform the company in advance of their intention
and the reasons why.
Institutional
investors should disclose publicly voting records.
Institutional
investors should disclose the use made, if any, of proxy voting or other voting advisory services.
They should describe the scope of such services, identify the providers and disclose the extent to which they follow, rely upon or use
recommendations made by such services.
Institutional
investors should disclose their approach to stock lending and recalling lent stock.
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
Invesco
views proxy voting as an integral part of its investment management responsibilities and believes that
the right to vote proxies should be managed with the same high standards of care and fiduciary duty to its clients as all other elements
of the investment process. Invesco’s proxy voting philosophy, governance structure and process are designed to ensure that proxy
votes are cast in accordance with clients’ best interests, which Invesco interprets to mean clients’ best economic interests.
Invesco
investment teams vote proxies on behalf of Invesco-sponsored funds and non-fund advisory clients
that have explicitly granted Invesco authority in writing to vote proxies on their behalf.
The
proxy voting process at Invesco, which is driven by investment professionals, focuses on maximizing long-term
value for our clients, protecting clients’ rights and promoting governance structures and practices that reinforce the accountability
of corporate management and boards of directors to shareholders. Invesco takes a nuanced approach to voting and, therefore, many matters
to be voted upon are reviewed on a case by case basis. The Henley Investment Centre buys research from several providers to make an informed
voting decision. Globally we use ISS and Glass Lewis and we use the Investment Association IVIS service for research for UK securities.
The
Henley Investment Centre reports the investment teams’ proxy voting records through an easily accessible
portal on our website. This allows our clients to see votes that have been cast by our investment professionals on each of our ICVC funds
managed by IAML, by company that we are shareholders of, and by resolution, and to easily search for the records that they are interested
in. This can be viewed on our website at: www.invesco.co.uk/proxy-voting-records This data will be updated on an annual basis.
Global
Proxy Voting Platform and Administration
Guided
by its philosophy that investment teams should manage proxy voting, Invesco has created the Global
Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee (“Global IPAC”). The Global IPAC is a global investments-driven committee which compromises
representatives from various investment management teams and Invesco’s Head of Global Governance, Policy and Responsible Investment
(“Head of Global Governance”). The Global IPAC provides a forum for investment teams to monitor, understand and discuss
key proxy issues and voting trends within the Invesco group. In addition to the Global IPAC, for some clients, third parties (e.g., U.S.
mutual fund boards) provide oversight of the proxy process.
The
Global IPAC and Invesco’s proxy administration and governance team, compliance and legal teams regularly
communicate and review this Policy and the operating guidelines and procedures of each regional investment centre to ensure that they
remain consistent with clients’ best interests, regulatory requirements, governance trends and industry best practices.
Invesco
maintains a proprietary global proxy administration platform, supported by the Global Head of Responsible
Investment and a dedicated team of internal proxy specialists. This proprietary portal is supported by Institutional Shareholder Services
(ISS) to process the underlying voting ballots. The platform streamlines the proxy voting and ballot reconciliation processes, as well
as related functions, such as share blocking and managing conflicts of interest issuers. Managing these processes internally, as opposed
to relying on third parties, gives Invesco greater quality control, oversight and independence in the proxy administration process.
The
platform also includes advanced global reporting and record-keeping capabilities regarding proxy matters
that enable Invesco to satisfy client, regulatory and management requirements. Certain investment teams also use the platform to access
third-party proxy research.
Non-Votes
In
the vast majority of instances, Invesco is able to vote proxies successfully. However, in certain circumstances
Invesco may refrain from voting where the economic or other opportunity costs of voting exceeds any anticipated benefits of that proxy
proposal. In addition, there may be instances in which Invesco is unable to vote all of its clients’ proxies despite using commercially
reasonable efforts to do so. For example:
•
Invesco
may not receive proxy materials from the relevant fund or client custodian with sufficient time and information to make an informed independent
voting decision. In such cases, Invesco may choose not to vote, to abstain from voting or to vote in accordance with proxy advisor recommendations
•
If
the security in question is on loan as part of a securities lending program, Invesco may determine that the benefit to the client of voting
a particular proxy is outweighed by the revenue that would be lost by terminating the loan and recalling the securities
•
In
some countries the exercise of voting rights imposes temporary transfer restrictions on the related securities (“share blocking”).
Invesco generally refrains from voting proxies in share-blocking countries unless Invesco determines that the benefit to the clients of
voting a specific proxy outweighs the clients’ temporary inability to sell the security
•
Some
companies require a representative to attend meetings in person in order to vote a proxy. In such cases, Invesco may determine that the
costs of sending a representative or signing a power-of-attorney outweigh the benefit of voting a particular proxy
Approach
to Stock Lending
The
Henley Investment Centre does not enter into stock lending arrangements.
Principle
7
Institutional
investors should report periodically on their stewardship and voting activities
Guidance
Institutional
investors should maintain a clear record of their stewardship activities.
Asset
managers should regularly account to their clients or beneficiaries as to how they have discharged their
responsibilities. Such reports will be likely to comprise qualitative as well as quantitative information. The particular information
reported and the format used, should be a matter for agreement between agents and their principals.
Asset
owners should report at least annually to those to whom they are accountable on their stewardship policy
and its execution.
Transparency
is an important feature of effective stewardship. Institutional investors should not, however, be
expected to make disclosures that might be counterproductive. Confidentiality in specific situations may well be crucial to achieving
a positive outcome.
Asset
managers that sign up to this Code should obtain an independent opinion on their engagement and voting
processes having regard to an international standard or a UK framework such as AAF 01/062. The existence of such assurance reporting should
be publicly disclosed. If requested, clients should be provided access to such assurance reports.
Invesco’s
Investors’ approach:
Invesco
produces an annual stewardship report which highlights our activities at a global level in terms of ESG
activity and in various investment centres.
The
Henley Investment Centre reports our investment teams’ proxy voting records through an easily accessible
portal on our website. This allows our clients to see votes that have been cast by our investment professionals on each of our ICVC funds
managed by IAML, by company that we are shareholders of, and by resolution, and to easily search for the records that they are interested
in. This can be viewed on our website at: www.invesco.co.uk/proxy-voting-results
This
data will be updated on an annual basis.
The
processes relating to our corporate governance activities are subject to audit by our internal audit function.
This function is independent from the front office, and the rest of the business, and provides an independent assessment of business practises
directly to Board level.
We
believe that this level of scrutiny and oversight provides our clients with the assurance that our policies
and practises meet and exceed current industry standards.
We
will continue to assess this approach.

and beneficiaries in the long term, acknowledging the importance of corporate governance based on fiduciary duties to our clients (investors)
and beneficiaries. We do not vote proxies for the interests of ourselves and any third party other than clients (investors) and beneficiaries.
The interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries are to expand the corporate value or the shareholders’
economic interests or prevent damage thereto. Proxy voting is an
integral part of our stewardship activities, and we make voting decisions considering whether the proposal would contribute to corporate
value expansion and sustainable growth.
To
vote proxies adequately, we have established the Responsible Investment Committee and developed the
Proxy Voting Guideline to govern the decision-making process of
proxy voting. While we may seek advice from an external service provider based on our own guidelines, our investment professionals make
voting decisions in principle, based on the proxy voting guideline, taking into account whether they contribute to increasing the subject
company’s shareholder value.
Responsible
proxy voting and constructive dialogue with investee companies are important components of stewardship activities. While the Proxy Voting
Guideline are principles for our voting decisions, depending on the proposals, we may make an exception if we conclude that such a decision
is in the best interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries
after having constructive dialogue with the investee companies.
In such a case, approval of the Responsible Investment Committee shall be obtained.
The
Responsible Investment Committee consists of members including Chief Investment Officer, as the chair, Head of Compliance, Head of ESG,
investment professionals nominated by the chair and the other members, including persons in charge at the Client Reporting department.
We
have established the Conflict of Interest Management Policy.
In
the situation that may give rise to a
conflict of interest, we aim to control it in the best interests
of clients (investors) and beneficiaries. The Compliance department is responsible for governing company-wide control of a conflict of
interest. The Compliance department is independent of Investment and Sales departments and shall not receive any command or order for
the matters compliant with the laws and regulations, including a conflict of interest,
from them.
Proxy
Voting Guidelines
1.
Appropriations of Retained
Earnings and Dividends
We
decide how to vote on proposals seeking approval for appropriations of retained earnings and dividends, taking into account the subject
company’s financial conditions and business performance, shareholders’
economic interests and so on.
•
Taking
into account the company’s capital adequacy,
business strategies, and
so on if the total payout ratio, including dividends and share
repurchases, is significantly low, we consider voting
against the proposals unless reasonable explanations are given
by the company.
•
With
respect to the company where the Board of Directors determines appropriations of retained earnings, taking into account the subject company’s
capital adequacy, business
strategies, and so
on if the total payout ratio, including dividends and share repurchases, is significantly low, we consider voting against the reappointment
of board directors unless reasonable explanations are given by the company.
•
Taking
into account the subject company’s capital adequacy,
business strategies, and
so on if the total payout ratio, including dividends and share
repurchases, is significantly low, we consider voting for shareholder proposals increasing shareholder returns.
2.
Appointment of Board
Directors
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the appointment of board directors, taking into account their independence, competence,
anti-social activity records
(if any), and so on. Furthermore,
we decide how to vote on the reappointment of board directors,
taking into account their corporate governance practices, accountability during their tenures, the company’s business performance
and anti-social records
(if any), and
so on in addition to the above factors.
Board
directors should make best efforts to continuously gain knowledge and skills to fulfill the critical role and responsibilities in the
company’s governance. A company should also provide sufficient training opportunities.
Independent
outside directors are expected to play a significant role, such as safeguarding minority shareholders’
interests through action based on their insights to increase the
company’s corporate value. It is desirable to enhance the board’s governance function with independent outside directors
accounting for the board majority. However, given the challenge to secure competent candidates, we also recognize that
it is difficult for all the companies, irrespective of their size,
to deploy the independent outside directors’ majority on the Board.
Sufficient
disclosure is a prerequisite for reflecting the assessment of independence and suitability of director candidates and board composition
in voting decisions. Currently, there are cases where sufficient information cannot be obtained due to insufficient disclosure on a board
chair, each committee’s function and committee chairs in Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) and a corporate governance report,
as well as untimeliness of these issuances. We generally make decisions based on Notice of AGM, a corporate governance report and an annual
securities report disclosed by the time of voting. However, this shall not apply if we obtain such information from direct engagement
with the company or find relevant disclosure elsewhere.
We
generally vote for the appointment of outside directors.
However, we generally vote against if a candidate is not regarded
as independent of the subject company. It is desirable that the company discloses information, such as numerical data, which supports
our decision on board independence.
•
We
view the following outside director candidates are not independent enough.
•
Candidates
who have been working for the following companies for the last ten years or are those people’s relatives.
•
Candidates
who have been working for the following companies for the last five years or are those people’s relatives.
•
Shareholders
who own more than 10% of the subject company
•
Principal
securities brokers
•
Major
business partners
•
Audit
companies, consulting companies or any related service providers which have any consulting contracts with the subject company
•
Any
other counterparts which have any interests in the subject company
In
cases other than above, we separately scrutinize the independence of candidates who are regarded as not independent enough.
•
We
take extra care when we assess the independence of candidates from a company which is regarded as a policy shareholder under cross shareholding,
mutually sends outside directors to each other, and so on, as such cases potentially raise doubts about their independence. The company
should give reasonable explanations. It is also desirable that the company contrives the timing and method of disclosure to allow investors
to understand those relationships enough.
•
We
judge board independence according to the stock exchange’s independence criteria with emphasizing independence ensured practically.
We consider each company’s business environment and make the best effort to engage with the subject company to determine the independence
of the candidates.
•
We
regard an outside director with a significantly long tenure as non-independent and consider voting against the reappointment of such an
outside director. We generally consider voting against the reappointment of outside directors whose tenures are longer than ten years.
•
If
the subject company is a company with Audit Committee, we judge the independence of outside director candidates who become audit committee
board members using the same independence criteria for the appointment of statutory auditors in principle.
•
We
generally consider voting against the appointment of top executives and a nominating committee chair at a company
with three Committees if independent outside directors of the
subject company account for less than 1/3 of the Board after the AGM.
However, this shall not apply if we confirm sufficient planning
or special circumstances on increasing the number of independent outside directors in engagements.
•
In
case the subject company has a parent company, we generally consider voting against the appointment of top executives and a nominating
committee chair
at a company with three Committees if independent outside directors account for less than half of the Board after the AGM.
However, this shall not apply if we confirm sufficient planning
or special circumstances on increasing the number of independent outside directors in engagements.
(2)
Attendance
rate and concurrent duties
•
All
members are expected to attend board and respective committee meetings in principle.
A Company is
generally obligated to facilitate all members to attend these meetings.
We generally vote against the reappointment of board directors who attended less than 75% of board or respective committee
meetings.
•
We
take into account not only the number of attendance but nomination reasons and candidates’
real
contributions if disclosed.
•
We
take extra care when we assess the capability of board directors who have many concurrent duties as an outside director or outside statutory
auditor of listed companies, as such cases potentially arise doubts about their capacity given the importance of outside directors’
role and responsibilities. Accordingly, we
consider voting against the appointment of board directors who perform five or more duties as a director or statutory auditor of a listed
company or equivalent company.
•
If
a company nominates a board director with many concurrent duties, it should provide reasonable explanations. It is also desirable that
the company contrives disclosure timing and methods to allow investors to understand the situation enough.
(3)
Company’s
business performance
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of board directors if the subject company made a loss for the three consecutive years during
their tenures.
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of board directors if we judge that the subject company’s business performance significantly
lags the peers in the same industry during their tenures.
•
We
consider voting against top executives if, concerning capital efficiency including return on capital,
business strategies achieving corporate value expansion and sustainable
growth are not demonstrated, and constructive dialogues are not conducted.
(4)
Company’s
anti-social activities
•
If
we judge that a corporate scandal damages or is likely to damage
shareholder value with having a significant effect on society during
a board tenure, we conduct adequate dialogues with the subject company on the background and subsequent resolutions of the scandal. Based
on the dialogues, we decide how to vote on the reappointment of top executives, board directors in charge of those cases and audit committee
board members at a company with Audit Committee or three Committees, considering the impact on shareholder value.
•
With
respect to domestic corporate scandals, at the time a company receives administrative dispositions to cartel,
bid-rigging, and so on from authorities, such as the Fair Trade
Commission, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives, directors in charge and audit committee board members at a
company with Audit Committee or three Committees.
However, in
case final dispositions are subsequently determined based on appeal
or complaints resolutions, we do not vote against the reappointment again at that time. We vote on a case-by-case basis concerning compensation
orders in a civil case, dispositions
from the Consumer Affairs Agency or administrative dispositions from overseas authorities.
•
With
respect to administrative dispositions to an unlisted subsidiary or affiliate, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives,
directors in charge and audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committee or three Committees of the holding or parent company.
If a subsidiary
or affiliate is listed, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives, directors in charge and audit committee board
members at a company with Audit Committee or three Committees of both the subsidiary or affiliate and the holding or parent company.
However, we may vote on a case-by-case basis, depending on the
importance of the disposition to the subsidiary or affiliate, its impact on the holding or parent company’s financial performance,
and so on.
•
With
respect to employees’ scandals,
if the scandal damages or is likely to damage shareholder value, and we judge that the subject company owes management responsibility,
we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives, directors in charge and audit committee board members at a company with
Audit Committee or three Committees.
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of board directors if the subject company engages in
window dressing or inadequate accounting practices during their
tenures.
(5)
Activities
against shareholder interest
•
If
a company raises capital through an excessively dilutive third-party allotment without a shareholders’
meeting’s approval, we consider voting against the reappointment
of board directors, particularly top executives.
•
If
a company raises capital through a large-scale public offering without reasonable explanations, we consider voting against the reappointment
of board directors, particularly top executives.
•
If
a company does not execute a shareholder proposal regarded as favorable for minority shareholders receiving the majority support
from shareholders or does not make a similar company proposal at
an AGM in the following year, we consider voting against the appointment of top executives.
•
If
a company insufficiently discloses board director candidates’
information, we generally vote against such candidates.
3.
Composition of Board
of Directors
While
each company’s board structure would differ depending on its size and so on, we believe that a company with three Committees
(Nomination,
Audit and Remuneration) is desirable to achieve better governance
as a listed company. For a company with Board of Statutory Auditors
(Kansayaku) or Audit Committee, it is also desirable to voluntarily
deploy a Nomination Committee, a Remuneration Committee
and other necessary committees. Besides,
it is desirable that Board Chair is an independent outside director.
We believe that a highly transparent board composition ensures management accountability and contributes to sustained enterprise value
expansion. Finally, the
disclosure of the third-party assessment on the Board of Directors is desirable.
To
strengthen the Board of Directors’ monitoring function and increase its transparency and effectiveness, we believe it is important
to ensure gender, nationality, career, and age diversity in principle. It is desirable that each company adopts a skills matrix that defines
the diversity and expertise required to fulfill the Board’s responsibilities reflecting its situation and selects director candidates
accordingly.
We
are concerned about retired directors assuming consulting, advisory or other similar positions which could negatively impact transparency
and decision making of the Board. If such positions exist,
and retired directors assume them,
it is desirable that the company discloses their existence, their
expected roles and contributions and compensations for such posts.
(1)
Number
of board members and change in board composition
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the number of board members and change in board composition, taking into account the impacts
on the subject company and shareholders’ economic interests compared to the current situations.
•
The
number of board members should be optimized to make the right management decision at the right time. We may consider each company’s
business situation and scale. However,
we generally consider voting against the appointment of top executives
and a nominating committee chair at a company three Committees
if the number of board members is expected to exceed 20 without decreasing from the previous AGM, and reasonable explanations are not
given.
•
We
generally vote against the appointment of top executives and a nomination committee chair at a company three Committees if a decrease
in outside directors or an increase in internal directors reduces the percentage of outside directors to less than half of the board members.
•
If
there are no females on the Board, we consider voting against the appointment of top executives and a nomination committee chair at a
company three Committees. However, this shall not apply if we confirm sufficient planning or special circumstances on increasing the number
of female directors in engagements.
•
We
believe that board diversity is important and may set a higher target for a female board member ratio in the future. Similarly, we may
set a racial and nationality diversity target, especially for companies with global business operations.
(2)
Procedures
of board director appointment, scope of their responsibilities and so
on
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning change in board director appointment procedures, taking into account the rationales, and so
on, compared to the current procedures.
•
We
generally vote against proposals reducing board directors’
responsibilities for financial damages on fiduciary duty breach.
•
Board
directors’ responsibilities
include effective monitoring of top executives succession planning. The Nomination Committee at a company with three Committees or the
arbitrary Nomination Committee created at a company with the other governance
structures should provide effective monitoring of successor development
and appointment with transparency. It is desirable that an independent outside
director
serves as Nomination Committee Chair. If we judge that the succession procedure significantly lacks transparency and rationality, we consider
voting against the appointment of top executives.
4.
Appointment of Statutory
Auditors (Kansayaku)
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the appointment of statutory auditors, taking into account their independence, competence and
anti-social activities records
(if any), and so on. We decide how to vote on the reappointment of statutory auditors, taking into account their corporate governance
practices and accountability during their tenures, the company’s anti-social activity records, and
so on in addition to the above factors.
Statutory
auditors and audit committee board directors at a company with Audit committee or three Committees should have deep knowledge specialized
in accounting, laws
and regulations and should make best efforts to continuously gain knowledge and skills to fulfill the critical role and responsibilities
in the company’s governance. A company should also provide sufficient training opportunities.
•
We
generally vote against the appointment of outside statutory auditors without independency.
•
In
general, a person who has no relationship with the subject company other than a statutory auditor appointment is regarded as independent.
•
We
regard that an outside statutory auditor with a significantly long tenure is not independent and generally vote against the reappointment
of such an outside statutory auditor. We generally consider voting against the candidate whose tenure is longer than ten years.
(2)
Attendance
rate and concurrent duties
•
All
statutory auditors are expected to attend board or board of statutory auditors meetings in principle.
A companies is generally obligated to facilitate all statutory
auditors to attend these meetings. We generally vote against the reappointment of statutory auditors who attended less than 75% of board
or board of statutory auditors meetings.
•
We
take into account not only the number of attendance but nomination reasons and candidates’
real
contributions if disclosed.
•
We
take extra care when we assess the capability of statutory auditors who have many concurrent duties as an outside director or outside
statutory auditor of listed companies, as such cases potentially arise doubts about their capacity given the importance of outside statutory
auditors’ role
and responsibilities. Accordingly,
we consider voting against the appointment of
statutory auditors who perform five or more duties as a board director
or statutory auditor of a listed company or equivalent company.
If a company nominates a statutory auditor with many concurrent
duties, it
should give reasonable explanations. It
is also desirable that the company contrives disclosure timing and methods to allow investors to understand the situation enough.
•
If
there are material concerns about a published audit report or audit procedures, or insufficiencies of required disclosures, we vote against
the reappointment of statutory auditors.
(4)
Company’s
anti-social activities
•
If
we judge that a corporate scandal damages or is likely to damage
shareholder value with having a significant impact on society during
a statutory auditor’s tenure, we conduct adequate dialogues with the subject company on the background and subsequent resolutions
of the scandal. Based on the dialogues, we decide how to vote on the reappointment of statutory auditors,
considering the impact on shareholder value.
•
With
respect to domestic corporate scandals, at the time a company receives administrative
dispositions
to cartel, bid-rigging,
and so on from authorities, such as the Fair Trade Commission, we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory auditors. However,
in case the final dispositions are subsequently determined based
on appeal or complaints resolutions, we do not vote against the reappointment again at that time. We vote on a case-by-case basis concerning
compensation orders in a civil case, dispositions
from the Consumer Affairs Agency or administrative dispositions from overseas authorities.
•
With
respect to administrative dispositions to an unlisted subsidiary or affiliate, we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory
auditors of the holding or parent company. If a subsidiary or affiliate is listed, we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory
auditors of both the subsidiary or affiliate and the holding or parent company.
However, we may decide on a case-by-case basis, depending on the
importance of the dispositions to the subsidiary or affiliate, its impact on the holding or parent company’s financial performance,
and so on.
•
With
respect to employees’ scandals,
if the scandal damages or is likely to damage shareholder value, and we judge that the subject company owes management responsibility,
we consider voting against the reappointment of statutory auditors.
•
We
consider voting against the reappointment of statutory auditors if the subject company engages in
window-dressing or inadequate accounting practices during their
tenures
5.
Composition of Board
of Statutory Auditors (Kansayaku)
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the number of members or change in composition of the board of statutory auditors, taking into
account the impact on the subject company and shareholders’
economic interests compared to the current situations.
•
We
consider an increase in statutory auditors favorably. However, in case of a decrease, we consider voting against the reappointment of
top executives unless clear and reasonable explanations are given.
6.
Appointment of Accounting
Auditors
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning the appointment and replacement of accounting auditors, taking into account their competence,
audit fee levels, and so on.
•
We
generally vote against the reappointment of statutory auditors
(Kansayaku)
or audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committee
or three Committees if we judge that a company reappoints an accounting auditor without replacing it despite the following accounting
audit problems.
•
It
is determined that an accounting auditor provides an unfair opinion on the company’s financial conditions.
•
In
case there are concerns on financial statements, required disclosures are insufficient.
•
In
case an accounting auditor has a service contract other than accounting audit services with the subject company, it is regarded that such
a contract creates a conflict of interest between them.
•
Excessive
audit fees are paid.
•
It
is regarded that an accounting auditor makes fraud or negligence.
•
If
it is regarded that an accounting auditor has issues in other company’s audits, in case a company appoints or reappoints the accounting
auditor without replacing it, we take the impact on the company’s corporate value full consideration into voting decisions.
•
We
generally vote against proposals concerning accounting auditor replacement if it is regarded that a company changes an incumbent accounting
auditor due
to a dispute about accounting principles.
7.
Compensation for Board
Directors, Statutory Auditors (Kansayaku) and Employees
(1)
Board
directors’ salaries and bonuses
•
It
is desirable to increase the proportion of stock incentive plans in board directors’ salaries and bonuses, on condition that a
performance-based compensation structure is established, transparency,
such as disclosures of a benchmark or formula laying the foundations
for calculation, ensures accountability, and the impact on shareholders, such as dilution, are taken into considerations. The Remuneration
Committee at a company with three Committees
(Nomination, Audit and Remuneration) or the arbitrary Remuneration
Committee preferably deployed at a company with the other
governance structures should ensure the accountability of compensation
schemes. It is desirable that an independent outside director serves as Remuneration Committee Chair.
•
We
consider voting against proposals seeking approval for salaries and bonuses in the following cases.
•
Negative
correlation between company’s financial performance and directors’
salaries and bonuses are observed.
•
Inappropriate
systems and practices are in place.
•
The
total amount of salaries and bonuses is not disclosed.
•
Management
failures, such
as a significant share price decline or serious earnings deterioration,
are apparent.
•
The
remuneration proposal includes people determined to be responsible for activities against shareholder interest.
•
We
generally vote for shareholder proposals requesting disclosure of individual directors’ salaries and bonuses.
•
If
a company implements any measures ensuring transparency other than disclosure, we take it into consideration.
•
If
there is no proposal seeking approval for directors’
salaries and bonuses, and the compensation structure lacks transparency,
we consider voting against the appointment of top executives.
•
We
generally vote against bonuses for statutory auditors at a company with Board of Statutory Auditors and audit committee board members
at a company with Audit Committee.
•
We
separately consider voting to audit committee board members at a company with three Committees.
(2)
Stock
incentive plans
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning stock incentive plans, including stock options and restricted stock units, taking into account
the impact on shareholder value and rights, compensation levels, the scope, the rationales, and so on.
•
We
generally vote against proposals seeking to lower the strike price of stock options.
•
We
generally vote for proposals seeking to change the strike price on condition that shareholders’ approval is required every time.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans if the terms and
conditions for exercising options,
including equity dilution,
lack transparency. We generally consider voting against proposals
potentially causing 10% or more equity dilution.
•
It
is desirable that stock incentive plans is a long-term incentive aligned with sustainable growth and
corporate value expansion. As such, we generally vote against stock
incentive plans allowing recipients to exercise all the rights within two years after vested for the subject fiscal year. However,
this
shall not apply to recipients who retire during the subject fiscal year. We assess the validity if a vesting period is regarded as too
long.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans granted to statutory auditors and audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committee.
•
We
separately consider stock incentive plans granted to audit committee board members, including both inside and outside directors,
at a company with three Committees.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans granted to any third parties other than employees.
•
We
generally vote against stock incentive plans in case a company is likely to adopt the plans as
takeover defense.
(3)
Employee
stock purchase plan
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning employee stock purchase plans, taking into account the impact on shareholder value and rights,
the scope and the rationales, and so on.
(4)
Retirement
benefits for board directors
•
We
decide how to vote on proposals concerning grant of retirement benefits, taking into account the scope and scandals
(if any)
of recipients
and business performance and scandals
(if any) of the subject company, and so on.
•
We
generally vote for proposals granting retirement benefits if all the following criteria are satisfied.
•
The
granted amount is disclosed.
•
Outside
directors, statutory auditors and audit committee board members at a company with Audit Committees are excluded.
•
Recipients
do not cause any significant scandals during their tenures.
•
The
subject company does not make a loss for the three consecutive years, or its business performance is not determined to significantly lag
behind the peers in the same industry.
•
The
company does not cause scandals that significantly impact society and damage, or are unlikely to damage, shareholder value during their
tenures.
•
The
company does not engage in window-dressing or inadequate accounting practices during their tenures.
8.
Cross-shareholdings
If
a company holds shares for the sake of
business relations (cross
shareholdings), the company should explain the medium- to long-term business and financial strategies,
including capital costs, and disclose proxy voting guidelines,
voting results, and so on. If the company does not give reasonable
explanations and engage in constructive dialogues, we consider voting against the appointment of top executives. It is important that
the company does not hinder the sales/reduction of cross shareholdings when a policy
shareholder intends.
•
If
a company's cross shareholdings account for 20% or more of its net assets, we generally consider voting against the appointment of top
executives. However, this shall not apply if we confirm that the company makes a reduction, does sufficient planning or has industry-
specific circumstances that should be taken into consideration in engagement.
9.
Capital Policy
As
a listed companies’
capital policy is likely to significantly impact shareholder value and interests, a
company should implement a rational capital policy and explain
capital policy guidelines to shareholders. We consider voting against proposals concerning capital policies that we judge damage shareholder
value. If a
company
has a capital policy that is not part of proposals at an AGM but regarded to damage shareholder value, we consider voting against the
reappointment of board directors.
•
It
is undesirable that a company intends to maintain or increase so-called “friendly” stable shareholders and infringes minority
shareholders’ rights
by the third-party allotment, treasury stocks transfer or company management holdings’ transfer to foundations affiliated with
the company.
(1)

to delisting or have a significant impact on a going concern.

and the impact on the sustainability of stock market listing or a going concern, and so on.

decide how to vote on proposals concerning a corporate bond issue or a credit facility expansion, taking into account the subject company’s
financial conditions, and so
on.
(9)

•
We
decide how to vote on proposals seeking to change the number of authorized shares or issue shares for debt restructuring, taking into
account the terms and conditions of the change or the issue, the impact

going concern, and so on.

Environment, Social
and Governance (ESG)
We
support the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and acknowledge that company’s ESG practices are an important
factor in investment decision making. Thus, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives and directors in charge if
we judge that there is an issue that could significantly damage corporate value. We consider voting for proposals related to ESG materiality,
including climate change or diversity, if we judge that such proposals contribute to preventing from damaging or expanding corporate
value.
If not, we consider voting against such proposals.
15.
Disclosure
Disclosure
and constructive dialogues based thereon are important in proxy voting and investment decision making. Furthermore, proactive disclosure
and effective engagement are desirable as demand for ESG disclosure, including climate change, has been increasing, and the disclosure
frameworks have been rapidly progressing.
•
We
generally vote against proposals that lack sufficient disclosure to make proxy voting decisions.
•
We
generally vote for proposals seeking to enhance disclosures if such information is beneficial to shareholders.
•
If
a company’s financial and non-financial disclosures is significantly poor, and if the level of investor relations activities by
management or people in charge is significantly low, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives and directors in charge.
16.
Conflict of Interest
We
abstain from voting proxies of the following companies that are likely to have a conflict of interest. We also abstain from voting proxies
with respect to the following investment trusts
that are managed by us or Invesco group companies, as a conflict
of interest may rise.
•
Companies
and investment trusts that
we abstain from voting proxies:
We
have established the Conflict of Interest Management Policy. In
the situation that may give rise to a conflict
of interest, we aim to control it in the best interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries. The Compliance department is responsible
for governing company-wide control of a conflict of interest. The Compliance department is independent of the
Investment and Sales departments and shall not receive any command
or order for the matters compliant with the laws and regulations, including a conflict of interest, from the Investment and Sales departments.
Proxy
voting and stewardship activities are reported to the Responsible Investment Committee. The Responsible
Investment Committee approves them. Besides, the Compliance department reviews whether conflicts of interest are properly managed in proxy
voting and then reports the results to the Conflict of Interest Oversight Committee. Furthermore, the results are reported to the Executive
Committee in Tokyo and the Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee.

mandatory for the Mutual Funds to cast their votes ‘For’ or ‘Against’ and Abstention will not be counted as
having voted.
This
policy is drafted in pursuance of SEBI circular dated March 15, 2010 read with March 24, 2014, August 10, 2016,
December 24, 2019 and circular dated March 5, 2021 and provides
general philosophy, broad guidelines, procedures and principles for exercising voting rights.
Invesco
Asset Management (India) Private Limited (“IAMI”)
is an Investment Manager to the scheme(s) of Invesco Mutual Fund (“the
Fund”). As an investment manager, IAMI has fiduciary responsibility
to act in the best interest of unit-holders of the Fund. This responsibility includes exercising voting rights attached to the securities
of the companies in which the schemes of the Fund invest. It will be IAMI’s endeavor to participate in the voting process (i.e.
exercise voting rights) based on the philosophy enunciated in this policy.
B.
Philosophy
of Voting Policy
Good
corporate governance ensures that a corporation is managed keeping in mind the long-term interest of shareholders. Promoting good corporate
governance standards forms an integral part of corporate ownership responsibilities.
With
this in the forefront, IAMI expects all corporations, in which it invests in, to comply with high corporate governance standards. Accordingly,
as the decision to invest is generally an endorsement of sound management practices, IAMI may generally vote with the management of these
corporations. However, when IAMI is of the view that the unit holders will be prejudiced by any such proposal, then it may vote against
such proposal to protect the interest of unit holders. Also, in case of resolutions moved by the shareholders of the company, IAMI will
exercise its voting rights in the best interest of its unit holders. Other than matters mentioned under section D
(I), in certain circumstances, IAMI may also decide to refrain
from voting where it has insufficient information or there is conflict of interest or it does not have a clear stance on the proposal
under consideration.
IAMI,
as an investment manager, will generally vote in accordance with the Voting Policy. However, it may deviate from the policy if there are
particular facts and/or circumstances that warrant for such deviation to protect the interests of unit-holders of the Fund.
C.
Conflict
of Interest in Exercising Voting Rights
IAMI,
under schemes, may invest in the securities of associate/group companies (to the extent permitted under SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations,
1996 as amended from time to time). Further, IAMI is an Indian subsidiary of global organization consisting of many affiliates. Moreover,
schemes under IAMI may invest in securities of companies which have invested in schemes of Invesco Mutual Fund. Such scenarios may lead
to a situation creating
conflict of interest. Potential Conflict of interest may also arise if IAMI and the investee company are associates or are part of the
same group; or the investee company holds a material ownership interest in IAMI; a nominee of IAMI has been appointed as a director of
the investee company or having cross-directorships, the Investee Company is an entity participating in the distribution of investment
products advised or administered by the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliate; the Investee Company is a client of Investment
Manager and/or its affiliates.
IAMI
will attempt to avoid conflict of interest and will exercise its voting rights in the best interest of the unit-holders. Voting decisions
in such cases will be based on merits without any bias and the same parameters will be applied for taking voting decisions as are applied
for other companies.
In
cases where there is a potential conflict of interest, IAMI will vote exactly as per recommendations of the proxy voting advisory entity
with no modifications whatsoever. In case there is need for a clearer direction, the matter may be referred to the Investment committee
for its guidance. Rationale for decision taken/ voting on the issue shall be recorded.
D.
Voting
Policy Guidelines
I.
The matters regarding, but not limited to, which the IAMI will exercise the voting rights in the Annual General Meeting (AGMs) /Extra
Ordinary General Meeting (EGMs)/ Through Postal Ballots/Electronic voting of the investee companies are as follows:
•
Corporate
governance matters, including changes in the state of incorporation, merger and other corporate restructuring and anti- takeover provisions.

Any
other issue that may affect the interest of the shareholders in general and interest of the unit- holders in particular.

shall have same meaning as assigned to them in clause (zc) of Sub-Regulation (1) of Regulation (2) of the SEBI (Listing Obligation and
Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Effective
April 01, 2021, voting shall be mandatory for all resolutions mentioned above. Further, for all remaining resolutions which are not covered
in (I) above, IAMI will compulsorily be required to cast votes with effect from April 01, 2022.
II.
In case of the Mutual Funds having no economic interest on the day of voting, it may be exempted from compulsorily casting of votes.
III.
The vote shall be cast at Mutual Fund Level. However, in case Fund Manager/(s) of any specific scheme has strong view against the views
of Fund Manager/(s) of the other schemes, the voting at scheme level shall be allowed subject to recording of detailed rationale for the
same.
IAMI
will exercise voting rights keeping in mind the need to improve economic value of the companies and importance of protecting the interests
of unit holders of its schemes but subject to importance of the matter and cost/time implications. The analysts in equity team will make
recommendations on key voting issues and same will be approved by the Head of Equity or Fund Manager. In case of conflicts or need for
a clearer direction, the matter may be referred to the Voting Committee for its guidance.
As
a guiding principle, IAMI shall exercise voting rights solely in the interest of unit holders of the Fund. IAMI has constituted a Voting
Committee (VC).The Committee is empowered to provide guidance on the voting matters referred to it, establish voting guidelines and procedures
as it may consider necessary and is responsible to ensure that these guidelines and procedures are adhered to and also make changes in
the Policy as may be required from time to time. The members of this Committee are as follows:
•
CEO
/ COO/Head - Operations (any one)
•
Head
of Compliance or Member of compliance team
•
Head
of Equity or Fund Manager (equity)
•
Head
of Fixed Income and/ or Fund Managers (fixed income)
•
Any
other representative as the Committee may co-opt from time to time
Broad
Guidelines for functioning of Voting Committee are:
1.
Voting Committee may record its decisions by circulation including decisions/guidance on voting matters
that have been referred to it.
2.
Voting Committee may consult with outside experts and other investors on issues as it may deem fit.
3.
Decisions of Voting Committee should be maintained by compliance.
4.
Details of voting decisions taken by the Fund Management team will be presented to the Voting Committee/Investment
Committee.
5.
Voting Committee may review this policy from time to time.
F.
Steps
(Procedure) in Exercising Voting Rights
The
following points outline the key steps in exercising Voting rights:
1)
Notification of company AGMs / EGMs and relevant voting items to Fund Management Team.
2)
The IAMI shall endeavor to vote for all holdings of the Fund aggregated
for all its schemes. The voting will cover all equity holding across all schemes of Invesco Mutual Fund including passive investments
like Index Funds, Exchange Traded Fund etc. (except for companies which are held only in arbitrage fund).
3)
Custodian will send ballots and or other relevant papers (notice of meeting, proxy form, attendance slips
etc.) to IAMI relating to AGM/EGM as soon as it receives.
4)
The fund management team is authorized to decide on voting decisions but may refer decisions to the Voting
Committee for its guidance/direction.
5)
Based on internal discussion within the fund management team, a decision would be arrived to
vote on the proposed resolution. Routine matters and ordinary resolutions like adoption of financials (unless there are significant auditor
qualifications), dividend declaration, general updating/corrective amendments to the Articles of Association would also be considered
for voting purpose. However, IAMI may on a case to case basis, not vote on such resolutions, if it deems fit to do so.
6)
IAMI will generally support and vote “for” proposals
which are likely to result in maximizing long-term investment returns for unit holders. IAMI would not support and will vote “against”
proposals that appear to be detrimental to the company financials / interest of the minority shareholders or which would adversely impact
shareholders’ value.
7)
IAMI may exercise its voting rights by authorizing its own executives/authorized representative to attend
the AGM/EGM or may instruct the Custodian to exercise voting rights in accordance with the instructions of IAMI.
8)
IAMI may exercise its voting rights through Postal Ballot or may use Electronic voting mechanism, wherever
available, either through its own executives or by authorizing the Custodian. The records of voting exercised through Postal Ballot will
be maintained by IAMI.
9)
IAMI may utilize the services of third party professional agencies for getting in-depth analyses of proposals
and vote recommendations. However, the recommendations of the third party agencies will be non-binding in nature. IAMI will perform due
diligence on proxy voting advisory firms at the time of initial selection as well as at the time of renewal of services of the proxy voting.
The due diligence will be carried out on parameters viz. resource strength, Companies under coverage, extent of institutional ownership,
depth of analysis, quality of advice / recommendations, analyst access & support, timely availability of reports, composition of board
of directors, advisory board and top management, web-based interface platform and clientele.
10)
The rationale supporting each voting decision (For, Against and Abstain) will be recorded and such records
will be retained for number of years (currently 8 years) as may be required under the SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 from time
to time.

H - PORTFOLIO MANAGER(S)
Portfolio
Manager Fund Holdings and Information on Other Managed Accounts
Invesco’s
portfolio managers develop investment models which are used in connection with the management
of certain Invesco Funds as well as other mutual funds for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment
vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals. The ‘Investments’
chart reflects the portfolio managers' investments in the Fund(s) that they manage and includes investments in the Fund’s shares
beneficially owned by a portfolio manager, as determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (beneficial ownership includes ownership by a portfolio manager’s immediate family members sharing the same household).
The ‘Assets Managed’ chart reflects information regarding accounts other than the Funds for which each portfolio manager
has day-to-day management responsibilities. Accounts are grouped into three categories: (i) other registered investment companies;
(ii) other pooled investment vehicles; and (iii) other accounts. To the extent that any of these accounts pay advisory fees that
are based on account performance (performance-based fees), information on those accounts is specifically noted. In addition, any
assets denominated in foreign currencies have been converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the applicable date.

Potential
Conflicts of Interest
Actual
or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities
with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts
may be presented with one or more of the following potential conflicts:
•
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.
•
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.
•
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.
•
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. None of the Invesco Fund accounts managed have a performance fee.
The
Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed
to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which
a conflict arises.
Description
of Compensation Structure
For
the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser
The
Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned
to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive cash bonus opportunity
and a deferred compensation opportunity. Portfolio manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect
changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund performance. The Adviser
and each Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing compensation survey results conducted by an independent third
party of investment industry compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of the following three elements:
Base
Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting
the base salary, the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser’s intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio manager's
experience and responsibilities.
Annual
Bonus. The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees
of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd.
reviews and approves the firm-wide bonus pool based upon progress against strategic objectives and annual operating plan, including investment
performance and financial results. In addition, while having no direct impact on individual bonuses, assets under management are considered
when determining the starting bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based
on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may include, but are not limited to, individual performance,
risk management and teamwork).
Each
portfolio manager's compensation is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the Funds/accounts
managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

3 Invesco
Senior Secured’s bonus is based on annual measures of equity return and standard tests of collateralization performance.
|
4 Portfolio
Managers for Invesco Capital base their bonus on Invesco results as well as overall performance of Invesco Capital.
|
High
investment performance (against applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver compensation
generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the third-party provided compensation survey information)
and poor investment performance (versus applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus
at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has responsibility for executing the compensation
approach across the organization.
With
respect to Invesco Capital, there is no policy regarding, or agreement with, the Portfolio Managers or any
other senior executive of the Adviser to receive bonuses or any other compensation in connection with the performance of any of the accounts
managed by the Portfolio Managers.
Deferred
/ Long Term Compensation. Portfolio managers may be granted a deferred
compensation award based on a firm-wide bonus pool approved by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. Deferred compensation awards
may take the form of annual deferral awards or long-term equity awards. Annual deferral awards may be granted as an annual stock deferral
award or an annual fund deferral award. Annual stock deferral awards are settled in Invesco Ltd. common shares. Annual fund deferral awards
are notionally invested in certain Invesco Funds selected by the Portfolio Manager and are settled in cash. Long-term equity awards are
settled in Invesco Ltd. common shares. Both annual deferral awards and long-term equity awards have a four-year ratable vesting schedule.
The vesting period aligns the interests of the Portfolio Managers with the long-term interests of clients and shareholders and encourages
retention.
Retirement
and health and welfare arrangements. Portfolio managers are eligible
to participate in retirement and health and welfare plans and programs that are available generally to all employees.

Transactions
through Financial Intermediaries
If
you are investing indirectly in an Invesco Fund through a financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a
bank (including a bank trust department), an insurance company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or trustee of
a Retirement and Benefit Plan or a qualified tuition plan or a sponsor of a fee-based program that maintains a master account (an omnibus
account) with the Invesco Fund for trading on behalf of its customers, different guidelines, conditions and restrictions may apply than
if you held your shares of the Invesco Fund directly. These differences may include, but are not limited to: (i) different eligibility
standards to purchase and sell shares, different eligibility standards to invest in Funds with limited offering status and different eligibility
standards to exchange shares by telephone; (ii) different minimum and maximum initial and subsequent purchase amounts; (iii) system inability
to provide Letter of Intent privileges; and (iv) different annual amounts (less than 12%) subject to withdrawal under a Systematic Redemption
Plan without being subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). The financial intermediary through whom you are investing may
also choose to adopt different exchange and/or transfer limit guidelines and restrictions, including different trading restrictions designed
to discourage excessive or short-term trading.
If
the financial intermediary is managing your account, you may also be charged a transaction or other fee by
such financial intermediary, including service fees for handling redemption transactions. Consult with your financial intermediary (or,
in the case of a Retirement and Benefit Plan, your plan sponsor) to determine what fees, guidelines, conditions and restrictions, including
any of the above, may be applicable to you.
Unless
otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout this prospectus:
•

Large
Purchases of Class A Shares. Investors who purchase $1,000,000
or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or V Funds do not pay an initial sales charge. Investors who purchase $250,000 or more of
Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds do not pay an initial sales charge. In addition, investors who own Class A shares of Category
I, II or V Funds and make additional purchases that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or more and investors who own Class A shares
of Category IV or VI Funds and make additional purchases that result in account balances of $250,000 or more do not pay an initial sales
charge on the additional purchases. The additional purchases, as well as initial purchases of Class A shares of $1,000,000 or more (for
Category I, II and V) or $250,000 or more (for Category IV or VI Funds), are referred to as Large Purchases. If an investor makes a Large
Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, each share will generally be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the investor
redeems those shares within 18 months after purchase.
Invesco
Distributors may pay a dealer concession and/or advance a service fee on Large Purchases of Class
A shares, as set forth below. Exchanges between the Invesco Funds may affect total compensation paid.
Payments
for Purchases of Class A Shares by Investors Other than Employer Sponsored Retirement
and Benefit Plans. Invesco Distributors may make the following
payments to dealers of record for Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II, IV, V or VI Funds by investors other than Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans:
Percent
of Purchases – Categories I, II, IV, V and VI
•
1%
(0.50% for Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and 0.75% for Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Short
Term Bond Fund) of the first $4 million
•
plus
0.50% of the next $46 million
•
plus
0.25% of amounts in excess of $50 million
If
(i) the amount of any single purchase order plus (ii) the public offering price of all other shares owned by the
same customer submitting the purchase order on the day on which the purchase order is received equals
or
exceeds $1,000,000, with respect to Categories I or II Funds, or $250,000 with respect to Category IV or VI Funds,
the purchase will be considered a "jumbo accumulation purchase." With regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors
may make payment to the dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same customer over
the life of his or her account(s).
If
an investor made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund
or Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund on or after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010, and exchanges those shares
for Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, Invesco Distributors will pay 1.00% of such purchase as dealer compensation
upon the exchange. The Class A shares of the Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund received in exchange generally will be subject to a 1.00%
CDSC if the investor redeems such shares within 18 months from the date of exchange.
Payments
for Purchases of Class A Shares at NAV by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans. Invesco Distributors may make the following payments to
dealers of record for purchases of Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) of Category I, II, IV, V or VI Funds by Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans provided that the applicable dealer of record is able to establish that the plan's purchase of such Class
A shares is a new investment (as defined below):
Percent
of Purchases
•
0.50%
of the first $20 million
•
plus
0.25% of amounts in excess of $20 million
A
"new investment" means a purchase paid for with money that does not represent (i) the proceeds of one or
more redemptions of Invesco Fund shares, (ii) an exchange of Invesco Fund shares, (iii) the repayment of one or more Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plan loans that were funded through the redemption of Invesco Fund shares, or (iv) money returned from another
fund family. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession in connection with an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan's or
SIMPLE IRA Plan's purchase of Class A shares at NAV, such shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of net assets for 12 months, commencing
on the date the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan first invests in Class A shares of an Invesco Fund.
If the applicable dealer of record is unable to establish that an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan's or SIMPLE IRA Plan's
purchase of Class A shares at NAV is a new investment, Invesco Distributors will not pay a dealer concession in connection with such purchase
and such shares will not be subject to a CDSC.
With
regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the
dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same plan over the life of the plan's account(s).
Fund
Reorganizations. Class A Shares issued in connection with a Fund's
merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund will not be charged an initial sales charge.
Purchasers
Qualifying For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges. As shown in
the tables above, the applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase may be reduced and will be based on the total of your current
purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. These reductions are available to purchasers
that meet the qualifications listed in the prospectus under "Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions."
How
to Qualify For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges under Rights of Accumulation (ROAs) or Letters
of Intent (LOIs). The following sections discuss different ways
that a purchaser can qualify for a reduction in the initial sales charges for purchases of Class A shares of the Invesco Funds.
Letters
of Intent
A
purchaser may pay reduced initial sales charges by (i) indicating on the Account Application that he, she or
it intends to provide a LOI; and (ii) subsequently fulfilling the conditions of that LOI.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund;
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio; and Class A, Class AX or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, as applicable, or Class IB, IC, Y and Investor Class shares of any Invesco Fund, will not be taken into
account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges since they cannot be tied to a LOI.
The
LOI confirms the total investment in shares of the Invesco Funds that the purchaser intends to make within
the next 13 months. By marking the LOI section on the account application and by signing the account application, the purchaser indicates
that he, she or it understands and agrees to the terms of the LOI and is bound by the provisions described below:
Calculating
the Initial Sales Charge
•
Each
purchase of Fund shares normally subject to an initial sales charge made during the 13-month period will be made at the public offering
price applicable to a single transaction of the total dollar amount indicated by the LOI (to determine what the applicable public offering
price is, look at the sales charge table in the section on "Initial Sales Charges" above).
•
It
is the purchaser's responsibility at the time of purchase to specify the account numbers that should be considered in determining the
appropriate sales charge.
•
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.
Calculating
the Number of Shares to be Purchased
•
Purchases
made and shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions prior to the LOI effective date will be applied
toward the completion of the LOI based on the value of the shares calculated at the public offering price on the effective date of the
LOI.
•
If
a purchaser wishes to revise the LOI investment amount upward, he, she or it may submit a written and signed request at 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.
Fulfilling
the Intended Investment
•
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 purchaser's name. If the total investment specified under this LOI is completed within the 13-month
period, the reserved shares will be promptly released, and additional purchases will be subject to the appropriate breakpoint sales charge
based on the account's 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.
Canceling
the LOI
•
If
at any time before completing the LOI Program, the purchaser wishes to cancel the agreement, he or she must give written notice to Invesco
Distributors or its designee.
•
If
at any time before completing the LOI Program the purchaser requests the Transfer Agent to liquidate or transfer beneficial ownership
of his 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.
Other
Persons Eligible for the LOI Privilege
The
LOI privilege is also available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for
tax qualified group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
LOIs
and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
All
LOIs to purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or V Funds or $250,000 or more
of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds are subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
Rights
of Accumulation
A
purchaser may also qualify for reduced initial sales charges under Invesco’s ROA policy. To determine whether
or not a reduced initial sales charge applies to a proposed purchase, Invesco Distributors takes into account not only the money that
is invested upon such proposed purchase, but also the value of all shares of the Invesco Funds owned by such purchaser, calculated at
their then current public offering price.
If
a purchaser qualifies for a reduced sales charge, the reduced sales charge applies to the total amount of
money being invested, even if only a portion of that amount exceeds the breakpoint for the reduced sales charge. For example, if a purchaser
already owns qualifying shares of any Invesco Fund with a value of $30,000 and wishes to invest an additional $30,000 in a Fund with a
maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%, the reduced initial sales charge of 4.50% will apply to the full $30,000 purchase and not just
to the $10,000 in excess of the $50,000 breakpoint.
To
qualify for obtaining the discount applicable to a particular purchase, the purchaser or his dealer must furnish
the Transfer Agent with a list of the account numbers and the names in which such accounts of the purchaser are registered at the time
the purchase is made.
ROAs
are also available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax-qualified
group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
If
an investor's new purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund is at net asset value, the
newly purchased shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if the investor redeems them prior to the end of the 18 month holding period.
Other
Requirements For Reductions in Initial Sales Charges. As discussed
above, investors or dealers seeking to qualify orders for a reduced initial sales charge must identify such orders and, if necessary,
support their qualification for the reduced charge. Invesco Distributors reserves the right to determine whether any purchaser is entitled
to a reduced sales charge based upon the qualifications set forth in the prospectus under "Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales
Charge Exceptions."
Class
A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge. Invesco Distributors
permits certain other investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge, generally as a result of the
investor's
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. It is possible that a financial intermediary may not,
in accordance with its policies and procedures, be able to offer one or more of these waiver categories. If this situation occurs, it
is possible that the investor would need to invest directly through an account without a designated intermediary in order to take advantage
of the waiver. The Funds may terminate or amend the terms of these sales charge waivers at any time.
•
Any
current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or any immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee,

a designated intermediary. The Invesco Funds reserve the right to modify or terminate this program at any time.
•
Certain
IRA accounts and payroll deduct IRA programs held directly at Invesco for which intermediaries offered Class A shares without an initial
sales charge, pursuant to an arrangement with OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. prior to May 28, 2019.
Payments
to Dealers. Invesco Distributors may elect to re-allow the entire
initial sales charge to dealers for all sales with respect to which orders are placed with Invesco Distributors or its designee during
a particular period. Dealers to whom substantially the entire sales charge is re-allowed may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term
is defined under the 1933 Act.
The
financial intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales
charges and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees discussed above. In this context, "financial intermediaries" include any broker, dealer, bank
(including bank trust departments), insurance company separate account, transfer agent, registered investment adviser, financial planner,
retirement plan administrator and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco
Distributors or one or more of its corporate affiliates (collectively, the Invesco Distributors Affiliates). In addition to those payments,
Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale
of shares of the Invesco Funds. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors'
retention of underwriting concessions and from payments to Invesco Distributors under Rule 12b-1 plans. In the case of sub-accounting
payments, discussed below, Invesco Distributors Affiliates will be reimbursed directly by the Invesco Funds for such payments. These additional
cash payments are described below. The categories described below are not mutually exclusive. The same financial intermediary, or one
or more of its affiliates, may receive payments under more than one or all categories. Most financial intermediaries that sell shares
of the Invesco Funds receive one or more types of these cash payments. Financial intermediaries negotiate the cash payments to be paid
on an individual basis. Where services are provided, the costs of providing the services and the overall package of services provided
may vary from one financial intermediary to another. Invesco Distributors Affiliates do not make an independent assessment of the cost
of providing such services.
Certain
financial intermediaries listed below received one or more types of the following payments during the
prior calendar year. This list is not necessarily current and will change over time. Certain arrangements are still being negotiated,
and there is a possibility that payments will be made retroactively to financial intermediaries not listed below. Accordingly, please
contact your financial intermediary to determine whether they currently may be receiving such payments and to obtain further information
regarding any such payments.
Financial
Support Payments. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make financial
support payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of Invesco Funds. The benefits Invesco Distributors
Affiliates receive when they make these payments include, among other things, placing Invesco Funds on the financial intermediary's funds
sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary's
sales force or to the financial intermediary's management. Financial support payments are sometimes referred to as "shelf space" payments
because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including Invesco Funds in its Fund sales system (on its sales shelf).
Invesco Distributors Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations
provided by the financial intermediary. In addition, payments typically apply only to retail sales, and may not apply to other types of
sales or assets (such as sales to Retirement and Benefit Plans, qualified tuition programs, or fee based adviser programs – some
of which may generate certain other payments described below).
The
financial support payments Invesco Distributors Affiliates make may be calculated on sales of shares of
Invesco Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price
of all such shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Such payments also may be calculated on the average
daily net assets of the applicable Invesco Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which
case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period.
Sales-Based
Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of Invesco Funds and Asset-Based
Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of Invesco Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Distributors Affiliates
may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Sub-Accounting
and Networking Support Payments. The Transfer Agent, an Invesco
Distributors Affiliate, acts as the transfer agent for the Invesco Funds, registering the transfer, issuance and redemption of Invesco
Fund shares, and disbursing dividends and other distributions to Invesco Funds shareholders. However, many Invesco Fund shares are owned
or held by financial intermediaries, as that term is defined above, for the benefit of their customers. In those cases, the Invesco Funds
often do not maintain an account for the shareholder. Thus, some or all of the transfer agency functions for these accounts are performed
by the financial intermediary. In these situations, Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make payments to financial intermediaries that
sell Invesco Fund shares for certain transfer agency services, including record keeping and sub-accounting shareholder accounts. Payments
for these services typically do not exceed 0.25% (for non-Class R5 shares) or 0.10% (for Class R5 shares) of average annual assets of
such share classes or $19 per annum per shareholder account (for non-Class R5 shares only). No Sub-Accounting or Networking Support payments
will be made with respect to Invesco Funds' Class R6 shares or Institutional Class shares. Invesco Distributors Affiliates also may make
payments to certain financial intermediaries that sell Invesco Fund shares in connection with client account maintenance support, statement
preparation and transaction processing. The types of payments that Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make under this category include,
among others, payment of networking fees of up to $10 per shareholder account maintained on certain mutual fund trading systems.
All
fees payable by Invesco Distributors Affiliates pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service
or sub-accounting agreement are charged back to the Invesco Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board of the Trust.
Other
Cash Payments. From time to time, Invesco Distributors Affiliates,
at their expense and out of their own resources, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries which sell or arrange
for the sale of shares of a Fund. Such compensation provided by Invesco Distributors Affiliates may include payment of ticket charges
per purchase or exchange order placed by a financial intermediary, one-time payments for ancillary services such as setting up funds on
a financial intermediary's mutual fund trading systems, financial assistance to financial intermediaries that enable Invesco Distributors
Affiliates to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited registered representatives
and other employees, client entertainment, client and investor events, and other financial intermediary-sponsored events, and travel expenses,
including lodging incurred by registered representatives and other employees in connection with client prospecting, retention and due
diligence trips. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by state laws or any self-regulatory agency, such as the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (formerly, NASD, Inc.). Invesco Distributors Affiliates make payments for entertainment
events they deem appropriate, subject to Invesco Distributors Affiliates guidelines and applicable law. These payments may vary depending
upon the nature of the event or the relationship.
Invesco
Distributors Affiliates are motivated to make the payments described above because they promote
the sale of Invesco Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediaries. To the extent financial
intermediaries sell more shares of Invesco Funds or retain shares of Invesco Funds in their clients' accounts, Invesco Distributors Affiliates
benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Distributors Affiliates by the Invesco Funds with respect to those
assets.
In
certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary
may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in the prospectus. You can ask your financial intermediary about
any payments it receives from Invesco Distributors Affiliates or the Invesco Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
You should consult disclosures made by your financial intermediary at the time of purchase.

Purchases
of Class C Shares
Class
C shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Investors in Class
C shares may pay a CDSC if they redeem their shares within the first year after purchase. See the prospectus for additional information
regarding this CDSC. Invesco Distributors may pay sales commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the Invesco
Funds at the time of such sales. Payments with respect to Invesco Funds other than Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund and Invesco Short Term
Bond Fund will generally equal 1.00% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission of 0.75% plus an advance of the first
year service fee of 0.25%. Payments with respect to Invesco Floating Rate ESG Fund will equal 0.75% of the purchase price and will consist
of a sales commission of 0.50% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%. Payments with respect to Invesco Short Term Bond
Fund will equal 0.65% of the purchase price and will consist of a sales commission of 0.40% plus an advance of the first year service
fee of 0.25%. (Invesco Distributors has contractually agreed to waive 0.15% of Rule 12b-1 distribution plan payments of Class C shares
of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund. Unless Invesco Distributors continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on June 30, 2023. While
the fee waiver agreement is in place, payments with respect to Invesco Short Term Bond will equal 0.50% of the purchase price and will
consist of a sales commission of 0.25% plus an advance of the first year service fee of 0.25%.) These commissions are not paid on sales
to investors exempt from the CDSC, including shareholders of record of AIM Advisor Funds, Inc. on April 30, 1995, who purchase additional
shares in any of the Invesco Funds on or after May 1, 1995, and in circumstances where Invesco Distributors grants an exemption on particular
transactions.
Payments
with Regard to Converted Class K Shares
For
Class A shares acquired by a former Class K shareholder (i) as a result of a fund merger; or (ii) as a result
of the conversion of Class K shares into Class A shares on October 21, 2005, Invesco Distributors will pay financial intermediaries 0.45%
on such Class A shares as follows: (i) 0.25% from the Class A shares' Rule 12b-1 plan fees; and (ii) 0.20% from Invesco Distributors'
own resources provided that, on an annualized basis for 2005 as of October 21, 2005, the 0.20% exceeds $2,000 per year.
Purchase
and Redemption of Class P Shares
Certain
former investors in the AIM Summit Plans I and II may acquire Class P shares at net asset value. Please
see Invesco Summit Fund's prospectus for details.
Purchases
of Class R Shares
Class
R shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Invesco Distributors
may pay dealers of record an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets and such payments will
commence immediately. For any Class R shares sold on or before January 17, 2020 that received an upfront dealer concession, Invesco Distributors
may pay dealers of record an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets and such payments will
commence in the 13th month from the date of purchase.
Purchases
of Class S Shares
Class
S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic
contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial
intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the
general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to
purchase additional Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan
combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor's systematic contractual
investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total
of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would
have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option. Class S shares have a 12b-1 fee of 0.15%.
Purchases
of Class Y Shares
Class
Y shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Please
refer to the prospectus for more information.
Purchases
of Investor Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC.
Invesco Distributors may pay dealers and institutions an annual service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and such payments will
commence immediately. The Investor Class is closed to new investors.
Purchases
of Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class
R5 and R6 shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC.
Please refer to the Class R5 and R6 prospectus for more information.
Exchanges
Terms
and Conditions of Exchanges. Normally, shares of an Invesco Fund
to be acquired by exchange are purchased at their net asset value or applicable offering price, as the case may be, determined on the
date that such request is received. If a shareholder is exchanging into a Fund paying daily dividends, and the release of the exchange
proceeds is delayed for the foregoing five-day period, such shareholder will not begin to accrue dividends until the sixth business day
after the exchange.
Redemptions
General.
Shares of the Invesco Funds may be redeemed directly through the Transfer Agent or through any dealer who has entered into an agreement
with Invesco Distributors. A redemption is effected at the net asset value per share of the applicable Fund next determined after the
redemption request is received in good order. To be in good order, the investor, either directly or through his financial intermediary
must give the Funds’ transfer agent all required information and documentation. Payments from a redemption generally constitute
taxable events. Because such payments are funded by the redemption shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains
or losses, rather than in ordinary income.
An
investor or a financial intermediary may submit a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent for correction
of transactions involving Fund shares. If the Funds’ transfer agent agrees to correct a transaction, and the correction requires
a dividend adjustment, the investor or the intermediary must agree in writing to reimburse the Funds for any resulting loss.
Payment
for redeemed institutional shares is normally made by Federal Reserve wire to the bank account designated
in the investor’s account application, while payment for redeemed retail shares is normally made by check, but may be sent electronically
by either Federal Reserve wire or ACH at the investor’s request. Any changes to bank instructions must be submitted to the Funds’
transfer agent in writing. The Funds’ transfer agent may request additional documentation. For funds that allow checkwriting, if
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge,
the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your
account’s
value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account or try to close your
account by writing a check.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may request that an intermediary maintain separate master accounts in the Funds
for shares held by the intermediary (a) for its own account, for the account of other institutions and for accounts for which the intermediary
acts as a fiduciary; and (b) for accounts for which the intermediary acts in some other capacity. An intermediary may aggregate its master
accounts and sub-accounts to satisfy the minimum investment requirement.
With
regard to Money Market Funds that do not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, if a Fund’s weekly
liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of
the shares redeemed and/or gates on redemptions. In addition, if a Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of its total assets
at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not
doing so is in the best interests of the Fund. For Funds that do not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, when a fee or a gate is
in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
The
Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action
to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at
the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates
may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase
of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge
that a fee or a gate is in effect.
The
Board may, in its discretion, permanently suspend redemptions and liquidate if, among other things, a Money
Market Fund, at the end of a business day, has less than 10% of its total assets invested in weekly liquid assets. The Board of the Retail
and Government Money Market Funds may suspend redemptions and liquidate if the Board determines that the deviation between its amortized
cost price per share and its market-based NAV per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing
shareholders.
Systematic
Redemption Plan. A Systematic Redemption Plan permits a shareholder
of an Invesco Fund to withdraw on a regular basis at least $50 per withdrawal. At the time the withdrawal plan is established, the total
account value must be $5,000 or more. Under a Systematic Redemption Plan, all shares are to be held by the Transfer Agent. To provide
funds for payments made under the Systematic Redemption Plan, the Transfer Agent redeems sufficient full and fractional shares at their
net asset value in effect at the time of each such redemption.
Payments
under a Systematic Redemption Plan generally constitute taxable events. Because such payments
are funded by the redemption of shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains or losses, rather than in ordinary
income. Also because sales charges are imposed on additional purchases of Class A shares, it is disadvantageous to effect such purchases
while a Systematic Redemption Plan is in effect.
Each
Invesco Fund bears its share of the cost of operating the Systematic Redemption Plan.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges Imposed upon Redemption of Shares
A
CDSC may be imposed upon the redemption of Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II, IV, V
and VI Funds, upon the redemption of Class C shares. (No CDSC applies to Class A2 shares.) See the prospectus for additional information
regarding CDSCs.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions for Large Purchases of Class A Shares.
An investor who has made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, will not be subject to a CDSC upon
the redemption of those shares in the following situations:
•
Redemptions
of shares held by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA
Plan
in cases where (i) the plan has remained invested in Class A shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a
complete redemption of all Class A shares held by the plan;
•
Redemptions
of shares by the investor where the investor's financial intermediary has elected to waive the amounts otherwise payable to it by Invesco
Distributors and notifies Invesco Distributors prior to the time of investment;
•
Minimum
required distributions made in connection with a Retirement and Benefit Plan following attainment of age 70½ , or older, and only
with respect to that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant's beneficiary account value in
a particular Fund;
•
Redemptions
following the death or post-purchase disability of a registered shareholder or beneficial owner of an account. Subsequent purchases into
such account are not eligible for the CDSC waiver; and
•
Amounts
from a monthly, quarterly or annual Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis,
provided; the investor reinvests his dividends.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions for Class C Shares. CDSCs will
not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares, as applicable:
•
Redemptions
following the death or post-purchase disability of a registered shareholder or beneficial owner of an account. Subsequent purchases into
such account are not eligible for the CDSC waiver;
•
Distributions
from Retirement and Benefit Plans where redemptions result from (i) required minimum distributions to plan participants or beneficiaries
who are age 70½ or older, and only with respect to that portion of such distributions that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant's
or beneficiary's account value in a particular Fund; (ii) in kind transfers of assets where the participant or beneficiary notifies the
distributor of the transfer no later than the time the transfer occurs; (iii) tax-free rollovers or transfers of assets to another Retirement
and Benefit Plan invested in Class C shares of one or more of the Funds; (iv) tax-free returns of excess contributions or returns of excess
deferral amounts; and (v) distributions on the death or disability (as defined in the Code) of the participant or beneficiary;
•
Amounts
from a monthly or quarterly Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis provided
the investor reinvests his dividends;
•
Liquidation
initiated by the Fund when the account value falls below the minimum required account size of $500; and
•
Investment
account(s) of Invesco and its affiliates.
In
addition to the foregoing, CDSCs will not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares:
•
Redemption
of shares held by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans or Employer Sponsored IRAs in cases where (i) the plan has remained
invested in Class C shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a complete redemption of all Class C shares
held by the plan; or
•
A
total or partial redemption of shares where the investor's financial intermediary has elected to waive amounts otherwise payable to it
by Invesco Distributors and notifies Invesco Distributors prior to the time of investment.
It
is possible that a financial intermediary may not be able to offer one or more of the waiver categories described
in this section. If this situation occurs, it is possible that the investor would need to invest directly through an account without a
designated intermediary in order to take advantage of these waivers. Investors should ask their financial intermediary whether they offer
the above CDSCs. The Funds may terminate or amend the terms of these CDSCs at any time.
General
Information Regarding Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions
Good
Order. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received
in good order in accordance with the Transfer Agent's policies and procedures and U.S. regulations. The Transfer Agent reserves the right
to refuse transactions. Transactions not in good order will not be processed and once brought into good order, will receive the current
price. To be in good order, an investor or financial intermediary must supply the Transfer Agent with all required information and documentation,
including signature guarantees and notary public stamps as required. In addition, if a purchase of shares is made by check, the check
must be received in good order. This means that the check must be properly completed and signed, and legible to the Transfer Agent in
its sole discretion. If a check used to purchase shares does not clear, or if any investment order must be canceled due to nonpayment,
the investor will be responsible for any resulting loss.
Authorized
Agents. The Transfer Agent and Invesco Distributors may authorize
agents to accept purchase and redemption orders that are in good order on behalf of the Invesco Funds. In certain cases, these authorized
agents are authorized to designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on a Fund's behalf. The Fund will be
deemed to have received the purchase or redemption order when the Fund's authorized agent or its designee accepts the order. The order
will be priced at the net asset value next determined after the order is accepted by the Fund's authorized agent or its designee. Orders
submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at
the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts
it, which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Signature
Guarantees. Acceptable guarantors include banks, broker-dealers,
credit unions, national securities exchanges, savings associations and any other organization, provided that such institution or organization
qualifies as an "eligible guarantor institution" as that term is defined in rules adopted by the SEC, and further provided that such guarantor
institution is listed in one of the reference guides contained in the Transfer Agent's current Signature Guarantee Standards and Procedures,
such as certain domestic banks, credit unions, securities dealers, or securities exchanges. While a notary public stamp may be accepted
in certain limited situations, it is not an acceptable replacement for a signature guarantee. The Transfer Agent will also accept signatures
with either: (1) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp of the STAMP Program, or (2) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp
of the NYSE Medallion Signature Program, provided that in either event, the amount of the total transaction involved does not exceed the
surety coverage amount indicated on the medallion. For information regarding whether a particular institution or organization qualifies
as an "eligible guarantor institution" and to determine how to fulfill a signature guarantee requirement, an investor should contact the
Client Services Department of the Transfer Agent.
Transactions
by Telephone. By signing an account application form, an investor
agrees that the Transfer Agent may surrender for redemption any and all shares held by the Transfer Agent in the designated account(s),
or in any other account with any of the Invesco Funds, present or future, which has the identical registration as the designated account(s).
The Transfer Agent is thereby authorized and directed to accept and act upon any telephone redemptions of shares held in any of the account(s)
listed, from any person who requests the redemption proceeds to be applied to purchase shares in any one or more of the Invesco Funds,
provided that such Fund is available for sale and provided that the registration and mailing address of the shares to be purchased are
identical to the registration of the shares being redeemed. An investor acknowledges by signing the form that he understands and agrees
that the Transfer Agent may not be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone exchange requests effected in accordance
with the authorization set forth in these instructions if they reasonably believe such request to be genuine. Procedures for verification
of telephone transactions may include recordings of telephone transactions (maintained for six months), requests for confirmation of the
shareholder's Social Security Number and current address, and mailings of confirmations promptly after the transactions. The Transfer
Agent reserves the right to modify or terminate the telephone exchange privilege at any time without notice. An investor may elect not
to have this privilege by marking the appropriate box on the application. Then any exchanges must be effected in writing by the investor.
Internet
Transactions. An investor may effect transactions in his account
through the Internet by establishing a Personal Identification Number (PIN). By establishing a PIN the investor acknowledges and agrees
that neither the Transfer Agent nor Invesco Distributors will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any Internet transaction
effected by them in accordance with any instructions submitted by a user who transmits the PIN as authentication of his or her identity.
Procedures for verification of Internet transactions include requests for confirmation of the shareholder's PIN and mailing of confirmations
promptly after the transactions. The investor also acknowledges that the ability to effect Internet transactions may be terminated at
any time by the Invesco Funds. Policies for processing transactions via the Internet may differ from policies for transactions via telephone
due to system settings.
Abandoned
Property. It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure that
the Transfer Agent maintains a correct address for his account(s). An incorrect address may cause an investor's account statements and
other mailings to be returned to the Transfer Agent. Upon receiving returned mail, the Transfer Agent will attempt to locate the investor
or rightful owner of the account. If the Transfer Agent is unable to locate the investor, then it will determine whether the investor's
account has legally been abandoned. The Transfer Agent is legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate
state's unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor's last known address of record determines
which state has jurisdiction.

Offering
Price
The
following formula may be used to determine the public offering price per Class A share of an investor’s
investment:
Net
Asset Value / (1 – Sales Charge as % of Offering Price) = Offering Price. For example, at the close of business
on August 31, 2022, a Fund – Class A shares had a net asset value per share of $10.33. The offering price, assuming an initial
sales charge of 5.50%, therefore was $10.93.
Class
R5 and R6 shares of the Invesco Funds are offered at net asset value.
The
offering price of each money market fund's shares is the Fund's net asset value per share. The Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco Government Money Market Fund value their portfolio securities on the basis of amortized cost,
which approximates market value. This method of valuation is designed to enable a Fund to price its shares at $1.00 per share. The Funds
cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain at $1.00 per share.
Calculation
of Net Asset Value
Each
Invesco Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, generally determines its net asset
value per share once daily on each day the NYSE is open for trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the customary
close of regular trading) or earlier in the case of a
scheduled
early close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except for Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, generally still will determine the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business
day. Invesco Government Money Market Fund will generally determine the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time
on each business day. The Invesco Funds determine net asset value per share by dividing the value of an Invesco Fund's securities, cash
and other assets (including interest accrued but not collected) attributable to a particular class, less all its liabilities (including
accrued expenses and dividends payable) attributable to that class, by the total number of shares outstanding of that class. Determination
of an Invesco Fund's net asset value per share is made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Generally, the portfolio
securities for non-money market funds are recorded in the NAV no later than trade date plus one, except on fiscal quarter ends, such securities
are recorded on trade date. For money market funds, portfolio securities are recorded in the NAV on trade date, as described below. Under
normal circumstances, market valuation and fair valuation, as described below, are not used to determine share price for money market
funds that seek to maintain a constant NAV because shares of money market funds are valued at amortized cost, as described below.
With
respect to non-money market funds, the net asset value for shareholder transactions may be different
than the net asset value reported in the Invesco Fund's financial statement due to adjustments required by generally accepted accounting
principles made to the net asset value of the Invesco Fund at period end.
Futures
contracts may be valued at the final settlement price set by an exchange on which they are principally
traded. U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked
prices from the exchange on which they principally trade. Non-U.S.
exchange-traded options are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they trade. Options not listed on an exchange
are valued by an independent source at the mean between the last bid and ask prices. A security listed or traded on an exchange (excluding
convertible bonds) held by an Invesco Fund is valued at its last sales price or official closing price on the exchange where the security
is principally traded or, lacking any trades or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing
bid price on that day. Each equity security traded in the over-the-counter market is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent
pricing services vendors or market makers. Debt securities (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an
evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing vendor. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing vendor may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments
related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics
and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above methods may be valued based upon quotes
furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations
the mean between the last bid and ask prices. Senior secured floating rate loans, corporate loans and senior secured floating rate debt
securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing
service may reflect appropriate factors such as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics,
institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment
companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day NAV per share.
Generally,
trading in corporate bonds, U.S. government securities and money
market instruments is substantially completed each day prior to the close of the customary trading session of the NYSE. The values of
such securities used in computing the NAV of an Invesco Fund's shares are determined at such times. Occasionally, events affecting the
values of such securities may occur between the times at which such values are determined and the close of the customary trading session
of the NYSE. If the Adviser believes a development/event has actually caused a closing price to no longer reflect current market value,
the closing price may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of the affected security as of the close of the NYSE as determined in good
faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
securities are converted into U.S. dollar amounts using exchange rates as of the close of the NYSE.
If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity securities, the
securities
will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before
the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unrepresentative of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (unreliable).
If between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on the NYSE, events occur that
are significant and may make the closing price unreliable, the Adviser may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event has occurred
that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security
at fair value in good faith using the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. Adjustments to closing prices to
reflect fair value may also be based on a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical
data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of
the NYSE. For foreign securities where the Adviser believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not reflective of
current market value, the Adviser will use the indication of fair value from the pricing vendor to determine the fair value of the security.
The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Multiple factors may be considered by the
pricing vendor in determining adjustments to reflect fair value and may include information relating to sector indices, American Depositary
Receipts, domestic and foreign index futures, and exchange-traded funds.
Invesco
Fund securities primarily traded in foreign markets may be traded in such markets on days that are
not business days of the Invesco Fund. Because the NAV per share of each Invesco Fund is determined only on business days of the Invesco
Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of an Invesco Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when an investor
cannot exchange or redeem shares of the Invesco Fund.
Securities
for which market quotations are not available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined
in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in accordance with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related
procedures. Issuer specific events, market trends, bid/ask quotes of brokers and information providers and other market data may be reviewed
in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value.
Calculation
of Net Asset Value (Certain Invesco Money Market Funds)
The
Board has established procedures, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, designed to stabilize
each Fund’s net asset value per share at $1.00, to the extent reasonably possible. Such procedures include daily calculation of
the extent of the deviation, if any, of the current net asset value per share using available market quotations from the fund’s
amortized cost price per share, and the periodic review by the Trustees of the amount of such deviation. The reviews are used to determine
whether net asset value, calculated by using available market quotations, deviates from $1.00 per share and, if so, whether such deviation
may result in material dilution or is otherwise unfair to investors or existing shareholders. In the event the trustees determine that
a material deviation exists, they intend to take such corrective action as they deem necessary and appropriate. Such actions may include
selling portfolio securities prior to maturity in order to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity, withholding
dividends, redeeming shares in kind, or establishing a net asset value per share by using available market quotations. When available
market quotations are used to establish the market-based net asset value, the net asset value could possibly be more or less than $1.00
per share. The Funds intend to comply with any amendments made to Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the 1940 Act which may require corresponding
changes in the Funds’ procedures which are designed to stabilize each Fund’s price per share at $1.00.
Under
the amortized cost method, each investment is valued at its cost and thereafter any discount or premium
is amortized on a constant basis to maturity. Although this method provides certainty of valuation, it may result in periods in which
the amortized cost value of the Funds’ investments is high or lower than the price that would be received if the investments were
sold.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although
the Invesco Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Invesco Funds
reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by
making
payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). For instance, an Invesco Fund
may make a redemption in kind if a cash redemption would disrupt its operations or performance. Securities that will be delivered as payment
in redemptions in kind will be valued using the same methodologies that the Invesco Fund typically utilizes in valuing such securities.
Shareholders receiving such securities are likely to incur transaction and brokerage costs on their subsequent sales of such securities,
and the securities may increase or decrease in value until the shareholder sells them. The Trust, on behalf of the Invesco Funds, made
an election under Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act (a Rule 18f-1 Election) and therefore, the Trust, on behalf of an Invesco Fund, is obligated
to redeem for cash all shares presented to such Invesco Fund for redemption by any one shareholder in an amount up to the lesser of $250,000
or 1% of that Invesco Fund's net assets in any 90-day period. The Rule 18f-1 Election is irrevocable while Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act
is in effect unless the SEC by order permits withdrawal of such Rule 18f-1 Election.
Backup
Withholding
Accounts
submitted without a correct, certified taxpayer identification number (TIN) or, alternatively, a correctly
completed and currently effective IRS Form W-8 (for non-resident aliens) or Form W-9 (for U.S. persons including resident aliens) accompanying
the registration information, generally will be subject to backup withholding.
Each
Invesco Fund, and other payers, generally must withhold 24% of reportable dividends (whether paid in
cash or reinvested in additional Invesco Fund shares), including exempt-interest dividends, in the case of any shareholder who fails to
provide the Invesco Funds with a TIN and a certification that he is not subject to backup withholding.
An
investor is subject to backup withholding if:
1.
The investor fails to furnish a correct TIN to the Invesco Fund;
2.
the IRS notifies the Invesco Fund that the investor furnished an incorrect TIN;
3.
the investor or the Invesco Fund is notified by the IRS that the investor is subject to backup withholding because the investor failed
to report all of the interest and dividends on such investor’s tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only);
4.
the investor fails to certify to the Invesco Fund that the investor is not subject to backup withholding under (3) above (for reportable
interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only); or
5.
the investor does not certify his TIN. This applies only to non-exempt mutual fund accounts opened after 1983.
Interest
and dividend payments are subject to backup withholding in all five situations discussed above. Redemption
proceeds are subject to backup withholding only if (1), (2) or (5) above applies.
Certain
payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding and information reporting. Invesco or the
Transfer Agent will not provide Form 1099 to those payees.
Investors
should contact the IRS if they have any questions concerning withholding.
IRS
Penalties. Investors who do not supply the Invesco Funds with a
correct TIN will be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS unless such failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect.
If an investor falsifies information on this form or makes any other false statement resulting in no backup withholding on an account
which should be subject to backup withholding, such investor may be subject to a $500 penalty imposed by the IRS and to certain criminal
penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
Nonresident
Aliens. Nonresident alien individuals and foreign entities with
a valid Form W-8 are not subject to the backup withholding previously discussed. The Form W-8 generally remains in effect for a period
starting on the date the Form is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year. Such shareholders may, however,
be subject to federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate on ordinary income dividends and other distributions. Under applicable treaty
law, residents of treaty countries may qualify for a
reduced
rate of withholding or a withholding exemption. Nonresident alien individuals and some foreign entities
failing to provide a valid Form W-8 may be subject to backup withholding and Form 1099 reporting.

Item
30. Indemnification.
Indemnification
provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Amended
and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article VIII of its Bylaws and are hereby incorporated by reference. See Items 28(a)
and (b) above. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, effective as of September 20, 2022, (i) Trustees or
officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee
or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct
of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable law; (iii) in case any shareholder
or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder
of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former
shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other entity,
its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable
class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws
and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon request by the shareholder, assume the
defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio (or class).
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 $100,000,000
and an additional $50,000,000 of excess coverage (plus an additional $30,000,000 limit that applies to independent directors/trustees
only).
Section
16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco Advisers) provides
that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the
part of Invesco Advisers or any of its officers, directors or employees, that Invesco Advisers shall not be subject to liability to the
Registrant or to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course
of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
Any liability of Invesco Advisers to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco Advisers
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 Advisers,
on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management
(Japan) Limited, Invesco Canada Ltd, Invesco Hong Kong Limited and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc., and separate Sub-Advisory
Agreements with each of Invesco Capital Management, LLC, Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited and OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (each
a Sub-Adviser, collectively the Sub-Advisers) provides that the Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any costs or liabilities arising from
any error of judgment or mistake of law or any loss suffered by any series of the Registrant or the Registrant in connection with the
matters to which the Sub-Advisory Contract relates except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on
the part of the Sub-Adviser in the performance by the Sub-Adviser of its duties or from reckless disregard by the Sub-Adviser of its obligations
and duties under the Sub-Advisory Contract.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) may be permitted to trustees, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

Series Trust (Invesco Counselor Series Trust) (the “Trust”) amends the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust
dated as of April 11, 2017, as amended (the “Agreement”).
Under

death, resignation, retirement, removal, incapacity, or inability to serve, the size of the Board shall be automatically reduced
by the number of vacancies arising therefrom (but not to less than two) unless or until the Board by resolution expressly maintains
or increases the size of the Board. Whenever the size of the Board of Trustees is reduced due to such a vacancy, the other remaining

of a vacancy arising from a Board resolution to maintain or increase the size of the Board, the remaining Trustees may fill such
vacancy or add additional Board members, as the case may be, by appointing such other person as they in their discretion shall
see fit. Such appointment shall be evidenced by (i) a resolution of the Board of Trustees, duly adopted by a Majority Trustee
Vote, which shall be recorded in the minutes of a meeting of the Trustees, or (ii) a written instrument signed by a requisite
number of Trustees in office sufficient to constitute a Majority Trustee Vote, in each case whereupon the appointment shall take
effect

(b) The Board
of Trustees of the Trust shall be entitled to make such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the Shareholders as it shall
deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Trustees, if any, the chair of the meeting
shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of
such chair, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing:
an agenda or order of business for the meeting; rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present;
limitations on participation in such meeting to shareholders of record of the Trust and their duly authorized and constituted proxies,

Section

of the Shares cast shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one on which, by express provision of
applicable law, the Governing Instrument, or applicable contract, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision
shall govern and control the decision of such question.
Section
11. Voting Procedure. Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote, and each fractional Share shall be entitled
to a proportionate fractional vote. On any matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, all Shares shall be voted together, except
when required by applicable law or when the Trustees have determined that the matter affects the interests of one or more Portfolios
(or Classes), then only the Shareholders of such Portfolios (or Classes) shall be entitled to vote thereon.
Section 12. Action
Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or applicable law, any action required to be taken at any meeting of
the Shareholders, or any action which may be taken at any meeting of the Shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior
notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of Outstanding
Shares (or a class of Shares in the case of a class vote) having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Shares of the Trust (or such class) entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted. Prompt notice of the taking of any such action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
Shareholders of the Trust (or such class, as applicable) who have not consented in writing.

purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting. Abstentions will not count as votes cast for or against any proposals.
Section
15. Record Date for Shareholder Meetings and Consents. In order that the Trustees may determine the Record
Owners entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to action
in writing without a meeting, the Board of Trustees may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees, and which record date shall not be more than ninety nor less than
ten days before the original date upon which the meeting of the Shareholders is scheduled, nor more than ten days after the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees for action by shareholder consent in writing without
a meeting. A determination of Record Owners entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Shareholders shall apply to any adjournment
of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Trustees may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting so long as notice of
the adjournment and the new record and meeting dates are given to the Shareholders.
Section 16. Postponements
and Adjournments.
(a) Prior to the date
upon which any meeting of Shareholders is to be held, the Board of Trustees may postpone such meeting one or more times for any reason
by giving notice to each Shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting so postponed of the place (which shall include a meeting held solely
by means of remote communications), date and hour at which such meeting will be held. Such notice shall be given not fewer than two (2)
days before the date of such meeting and otherwise in accordance with Article V.A meeting of the Shareholders convened on the date for
which it was called may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to the Shareholders to a date not more than 120 days after
the original record date. A meeting of the Shareholders may not be adjourned for more than 120 days after the original record date for
such meeting without giving the Shareholders notice of the adjournment and the new meeting date. Except as otherwise set forth in Article
IV, Section 8 hereof, the vote of the holders of one-third (1/3) of the Shares cast, or the chair of the meeting in his or her discretion,
shall have the power to adjourn a meeting of the Shareholders with regard to a particular proposal scheduled to be voted on at such meeting
or to adjourn such meeting entirely.
(b) In voting
for adjournment, the persons named as proxies may vote their proxies (including those marked “withhold,” “against”
or “abstain”) in favor of one or more adjournments of the meeting, or the chair of the meeting may call an adjournment, provided
such Persons determine that such adjournment is reasonable and in the best interests of Shareholders and the Trust, based on a consideration
of such factors as they may deem relevant.
Section 17. Voting
– Proxies. At all meetings of the Shareholders, every Shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat shall be entitled to vote
either in person or by proxy, which term shall include proxies provided by such Shareholder, or his duly authorized attorney, through
written, electronic, telephonic, computerized, facsimile, telecommunications, telex or oral communication or by any other form of communication,
each pursuant to such voting procedures and through such systems as are authorized by the Board of Trustees or any officer of the Trust.
Proxies may be solicited in the name of one or more Trustees or one or more officers of the Trust.
Unless the
proxy provides otherwise, it shall not be valid for more than eleven (11) months before the date of the meeting. All proxies shall be
delivered to the secretary of the meeting or other person responsible for recording the proceedings before being voted. A valid proxy
which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it before
the vote pursuant to that proxy is taken (a) by a writing delivered to the Trust stating that the proxy is revoked, (b) by a subsequent
proxy executed by such person, (c) attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person executing that proxy, or (d) revocation
by such person using any electronic, telephonic, computerized or other alternative means authorized by the Trustees for authorizing the
proxy to act; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the Trust before the vote pursuant
to that proxy is counted. Unless revoked, any proxy given in connection with a postponed or adjourned meeting for which a new record
date is fixed shall continue to be valid so long as the Shareholder giving such proxy is a Shareholder of record on such new such record
date.
A proxy with respect
to Shares held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise of such proxy
the Trust receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them in which case such proxy shall not be valid and no
vote shall be received in respect of such Shares unless all persons holding such Shares shall agree on their manner of voting. Unless
otherwise specifically limited by their terms, proxies shall entitle the Shareholder to vote at any adjournment of a Shareholders’
meeting.
Section 18. Concerning
Validity of Proxies, Ballots, Etc. At every meeting of the Shareholders, all proxies shall be received and taken in charge of and
all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting, who shall decide all questions touching the qualification
of voters, the validity of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless inspectors of election shall have been appointed
as provided below in this section, in which event such inspectors of election shall decide all such questions.
A proxy
purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a Record Owner shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and
the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger. Subject to the provisions of the Delaware Act, the Agreement, or these
By-laws, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, shall govern
all matters concerning the giving, voting or validity of proxies, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Shareholders were
stockholders of a Delaware corporation.
At any election
of Trustees, the Board of Trustees prior thereto may, or, if they have not so acted, the chairman of the meeting may, appoint one or
more inspectors of election who shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such election
with strict impartiality and according to the best of their ability, and shall after the election make a certificate of the result of
the vote taken. No candidate for the office of Trustee shall be appointed as an inspector.
The chairman
of the meeting may cause a vote by ballot to be taken upon any election or matter, and, to the extent required by federal law including
the 1940 Act, but only to such extent, such vote shall be taken upon the request of the Shareholders owning Shares representing ten percent
(10%) or more of the total combined votes of all Shares of the Trust issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such election or
matter.
Section
19. Meetings by Remote Communications. The Trustees may, in their sole discretion, determine that a meeting
of Shareholders may be held partly or solely by means of remote communications. If authorized by the Trustees, in their sole discretion,
and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Trustees may adopt, Shareholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting
of Shareholders may, by means of remote communications: (a) participate in a meeting of Shareholders; and (b) be deemed present in person
and vote at a meeting of Shareholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communications,
provided that: (i) the Trust shall implement such measures as the Trustees deem to be reasonable (A) to verify that each person deemed
present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communications is a Shareholder or proxyholder; and (B) to provide such
Shareholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the Shareholders;
and (ii) if any Shareholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communications, a record of
such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Trust. The Trustees may, in their sole discretion, notify Shareholders of any postponement,
adjournment or a change of the place of a meeting of Shareholders (including a change to hold the meeting solely by means of remote communications)
by a document publicly filed by the Trust with the Commission without the requirement of any further notice hereunder.

Section
2. Annual Meeting Notice Requirements for Nominations and Proposals by Shareholders.
(a) For nominations
or other business to be properly brought before any annual meeting by a Shareholder, the Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof
in writing to the Secretary of the Trust and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action by Shareholders. To be
timely, a Shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than
the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is
advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date or if the Trust did not hold an annual meeting
in the previous year, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th
day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such
annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Trust.
In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting to a later date or time commence a new
time period for the giving of a Shareholder’s notice as described above. Such Shareholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as
to each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Trustee all information relating to such person
that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees in an election contest, or is otherwise required,
in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including
such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Trustee if elected); (B) as
to any other business that the Shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought
before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such Shareholder
and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the Shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (i) the name and address of such Shareholder, as they appear on the
Trust’s books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the number of shares of each Class of Shares of the Portfolio which are owned
beneficially and of record by such Shareholder and such beneficial owner. A Shareholder providing notice of any nomination or any other
business proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice so that: with respect to nominations of persons
for election as a Trustee, any additional information reasonably requested by the Board of Trustees to determine that each person whom
the Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a Trustee is qualified to act as a Trustee, including information reasonably requested
by the Board of Trustees to determine that such proposed candidate has met the trustee qualifications as set out in the written charter
of the Governance Committees, is provided and such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive
offices of the Trust not later than five (5) business days after the request by the Board of Trustees for additional information regarding
trustee qualifications has been delivered to, or mailed and received by, such Shareholder providing notice of any nomination. A Shareholder
shall be disqualified from bringing any business proposed to be brought before a meeting if any of the information in such Shareholder’s
notice, or provided in connection therewith, is not correct and complete or if such Shareholder does not comply fully with the representations
in such notice.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 2 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Trustees to be elected
to the Board of Trustees is increased and there is no public announcement by the Trust naming all of the nominees for Trustee or specifying
the size of the increased Board of Trustees at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting,
a Shareholder’s notice required by this Section 2 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new
positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later
than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Trust.
Section

notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees may be made at a special meeting of the Shareholders
at which Trustees are to be elected (A) pursuant to the Trust’s notice of meeting, (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees
or (C) provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that Trustees shall be elected at such special meeting, by any Shareholder
of the Trust who is a Record Owner both at the time of giving of notice provided for in Section 2(a) of this Article V and at the time
of the special meeting, with proof of such ownership or holding reasonably satisfactory to the Trust to be provided by such Record Owner
or Nominee Holder at each such aforementioned time, and who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures
set forth in Section 2(a) of this Article V. In the event the Trust calls a special meeting of the Shareholders for the purpose of electing
one or more Trustees to the Board of Trustees, any such Shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election
to such position as specified in the Trust’s notice of meeting, if the Shareholder’s notice containing the information required
by Section 2(a) of this Article V shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not earlier than
the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later
of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement
is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Trustees to be elected at such meeting.
In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting to a later date or time commence a new
time period for the giving of a Shareholder’s notice as described above.
Section
4. Written Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of applicable
law or of the Governing Instrument, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before

Section 1. Share
Ownership and Transfer of Shares. All Shares issued by the Trust shall be uncertificated, and any certificates previously issued
with respect to any Shares are deemed to be cancelled without any requirement for surrender to the Trust. The Trustees shall make such
rules as they consider appropriate for the transfer of Shares and similar matters. With respect to any Shares for which a certificate
was previously issued and remains outstanding, upon receipt of any request for transfer of Shares evidenced by a share certificate upon
surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of such certificate for Shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence
of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Trust shall cancel the old certificate and record the transaction and the ownership

of the Shareholders of each Portfolio and Class and as to the number of Shares of the Trust and of each Portfolio and Class held from
time to time by each Shareholder. The Trust shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as
the owner of Shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim
of interest in such Share or Shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice hereof. No
Shareholder shall be entitled to receive payment of any distribution or to have notice given to such Shareholder of any meeting or other
action in respect of the Trust or any Portfolio or Class until such Shareholder has given its address and such other information as shall
be required to such officer or agent of the Trust or such Portfolio or Class as shall keep the record books of the Trust or such Portfolio

to be made a party to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding by or in the right of the Trust (or such Portfolio) to procure
a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Covered Person, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by that person in connection with the investigation, defense or settlement of such proceeding.
(c) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein, no Covered Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, judgments, fines, amounts paid
in settlement, or other liability or loss arising by reason of disabling conduct or for any proceedings by such Covered Person against
the Trust. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an
order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the person engaged in disabling conduct.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as plaintiff, indemnification
shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee (1) was authorized by a majority
of the Trustees or (2) was instituted by the indemnitee to enforce his or her rights to indemnification hereunder in a case in which
the indemnitee is found to be entitled to such indemnification. The rights to indemnification set forth in these Bylaws shall continue
as to a person who has ceased to be a Trustee or officer of the Trust and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and
personal and legal representatives. No amendment or restatement of these Bylaws or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate
any of the benefits provided to any person who at any time is or was a trustee or officer of the Trust or otherwise entitled to indemnification
hereunder in respect of any act or omission that occurred prior to such amendment, restatement or repeal.
Section
2. Advance Payment of Indemnification Expenses. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trust
or applicable Portfolio shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved as a
witness in, any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Trustee or officer of the Trust the expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense of such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. To the maximum
extent permitted by law, the Trust or applicable Portfolio may advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Covered Person (other than a Trustee or officer of the Trust)
the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense of such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the Trust shall not advance expenses to any Covered Person
(including a Trustee or officer of the Trust) unless:
(a)
the Trust or applicable Portfolio has received an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that the amount of all expenses
so advanced will be paid over by such person to the Trust or applicable Portfolio unless it is ultimately determined that such person
is entitled to indemnification for such expenses; and
(b) (i) such
Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking; (ii) the Trust or applicable Portfolio shall be insured
against losses by reason of any lawful advance payments; or (iii) either (1) the Trustees, by the vote of a majority of a quorum of qualifying
Trustees (as defined in Section 6 below), or (2) independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a
review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person
ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
Section 3.
Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification. Any indemnification required or permitted under this Article VIII (unless ordered
by a court) shall be made by the Trust or applicable Portfolio only as authorized in the specific case upon a reasonable determination,
based upon a review of the facts, that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification because (i) he or she is not liable by reason
of disabling conduct, or (ii) in cases where there is no liability, he or she has not engaged in disabling conduct. Such determination
shall be made by (i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of qualifying Trustees; or (ii) if there are no such Trustees, or if such Trustees
so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 of this Article VIII,
if a determination that a Covered Person engaged in disabling conduct is made in accordance with this Section 3, no further advances
of expenses shall be made, and all prior advances, and insurance premiums paid for by the Trust, if applicable, must be repaid.
Section
4. Contract Rights. With respect to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Covered Person, the rights
to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article VIII, and with respect to any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Trustee or officer
of the Trust, the advancement of expenses conferred in Section 2 of this Article VIII shall be contract rights. Any amendment, repeal,
or modification of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VIII (or any provision hereof) shall not adversely affect
any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted to any such person pursuant hereto with respect to any act or omission
of such person occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption (regardless of whether the proceeding
relating to such acts or omissions is commenced before or after the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption). Any amendment
or modification of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VIII (or any provision hereof), that has the effect
of positively affecting any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted to any such person pursuant hereto, shall not
apply retroactively to any person who was not serving as a Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust at the time of such amendment,
modification or adoption.
Section 5. Claims.
(a) If (X) a claim
under Section 1 of this Article VIII with respect to any right to indemnification is not paid in full by the Trust or applicable Portfolio
within sixty days after a written demand has been received by the Trust or applicable Portfolio or (Y) a claim under Section 2 of this
Article VIII with respect to any right to the advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the Trust or applicable Portfolio within
thirty days after a written demand has been received by the Trust or applicable Portfolio, then the Covered Person seeking to enforce
a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Trust
or applicable Portfolio to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.
(b) If successful
in whole or in part in any suit brought pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Article VIII, or in a suit brought by the Trust or applicable
Portfolio to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise), the Covered Person seeking
to enforce a right to indemnification or an advancement of expenses hereunder or the Covered Person from whom the Trust or applicable
Portfolio sought to recover an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be paid by the Trust or applicable Portfolio
the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of prosecuting or defending such suit.
Section
6. Definitions. For purposes of this Article VIII: (a) references to “Trust” include
any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of this Trust in a merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which the predecessor’s
existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction; (b) the term “disabling conduct” means willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence, or the reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Covered Person’s office with the Trust
or applicable Portfolio; (c) the term “expenses” includes, without limitations, attorneys’ fees; (d) the term “proceeding”
means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; and
(e) the term “qualifying Trustee” means any Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust
and is not a party to the proceeding.

Exhibit 99.h(3)
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
(Expense Limitations)
This Memorandum of Agreement
is entered into as of the Effective Date on the attached exhibits (the "Exhibits"), between AIM Counselor Series Trust
(Invesco Counselor Series Trust), AIM Equity Funds (Invesco Equity Funds), AIM Funds Group (Invesco Funds Group), AIM Growth Series (Invesco
Growth Series), AIM International Mutual Funds (Invesco International Mutual Funds), AIM Investment Funds (Invesco Investment Funds),
AIM Investment Securities Funds (Invesco Investment Securities Funds), AIM Sector Funds (Invesco Sector Funds), AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco
Tax-Exempt Funds), AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds), Invesco Management Trust and Short-Term Investments
Trust (each a "Trust" or, collectively, the "Trusts"), on behalf of the funds listed on the Exhibits to this Memorandum
of Agreement (the "Funds"), and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco”). Invesco shall and hereby agrees to waive
fees or reimburse expenses of each Fund, on behalf of its respective classes as applicable, severally and not jointly, as indicated in
the attached Exhibits.
For and in consideration of
the mutual terms and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Trusts and Invesco agree as follows:
For the contractual expense
limitations identified on Exhibit A (“Expense Limitations”), Invesco agrees until at least the expiration date set
forth on Exhibit A (each, an "Expiration Date") that Invesco will waive its fees or reimburse expenses to the extent that
expenses of a class of a Fund (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short sales; (iv) extraordinary
or non-routine items, including litigation expenses; and (v) expenses that each Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because
of an expense offset arrangement, if applicable) exceed the Expense Limitation rate, on an average of the daily net assets allocable to
such class on an annualized basis1. Neither a Trust nor Invesco may remove or amend the Expense Limitations to a Fund’s
detriment prior to the Expiration Date without requesting and receiving the approval of the Board of Trustees of the applicable Fund’s
Trust to remove or amend such Expense Limitations. Invesco will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived or reimbursed.
For the Expense Limitations, Invesco
agrees to review the then-current expense limitations for each class of each Fund listed on the Exhibits on a date prior to the Expiration
Date to determine whether such limitations should be amended, continued or terminated. The expense limitations will expire upon the Expiration
Date unless Invesco has agreed to continue them. The Exhibits will be amended to reflect any such agreement.
From time to time, Invesco
may establish amend and/or terminate Voluntary expense limitations at any time in its sole discretion. These Voluntary Limits are set
forth on Exhibit B. Any delay or failure by Invesco to update this Memorandum of Agreement with regards to the terminations, extensions,
or expirations of the Voluntary Limits shall have no effect on the term of such Voluntary Limitations; the Voluntary Limitations are listed
herein for informational purposes only.
It is expressly agreed that
the obligations of each Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees
of the Trusts personally, but shall only bind the assets and property of each Fund, as provided in each Trust’s Agreement and Declaration
of Trust. The execution and delivery of this Memorandum of Agreement have been authorized by the Trustees of the Trusts, and this Memorandum
of Agreement has been executed and delivered by an authorized officer of the Trusts acting as such; neither such authorization by such
Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any
liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the assets and property of the Funds, as provided in each Trust’s Agreement
and Declaration of Trust.
1 Acquired fund fees and expenses are
not fees or expenses incurred by a Fund directly but are expenses of the investment companies in which a Fund invests. These fees and
expenses are incurred indirectly through the valuation of a Fund’s investment in these investment companies. Acquired fund fees
and expenses are required to be disclosed and included in the total annual Fund operating expenses in the prospectus fee table. As a result,
the net total annual Fund operating expenses shown in the prospectus fee table may exceed the expense limits reflected in Exhibit A.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of
the Trusts, on behalf of itself and its Funds listed on the Exhibits to this Memorandum of Agreement, and Invesco have entered into this
Memorandum of Agreement as of the Effective Dates on the attached Exhibits.
