Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
As
with all other mutual fund securities, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved or disapproved these securities
or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
An
investment in the Fund:
◾
is
not guaranteed by a bank.
Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
Investment
Objective(s)
The
Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek to provide current income with preservation of capital.
Capital
appreciation is a secondary objective that is sought only when consistent with the Fund’s primary investment objective.
Fees

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 171%
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 corporate bonds,
and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. For these purposes, a corporate
bond is defined as any corporate debt security with an original term to maturity of greater than one year.
At
least 65% of the Fund’s net assets must be, and up to 100% may be,
invested in investment grade securities; securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; commercial
paper rated Prime by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or A- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P); and cash
and cash equivalents.
Up
to 35% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in securities rated below
investment grade. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. No more than 20% of the Fund’s net assets
may be invested in securities rated B- or below by S&P, or B3 or below by Moody’s, or unrated securities determined by the investment
adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), to be of comparable quality (excluding unrated U.S. government agency obligations).
The ratings specified above apply to preferred stocks as well as to corporate bonds.
The
Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in preferred stocks. In addition,
the Fund may invest a portion or all of its net assets in securities issued by foreign governments or corporations, including those located
in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles; provided, however, that
the Fund may not invest more than 30% of its net assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
The
Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in convertible securities.
The
Fund does not generally purchase common stock but may acquire them
as a result of conversion of convertible securities into such common stocks or upon exercise of warrants attached to or included in a
unit with a debt security purchased by the Fund.
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) of any
rating. The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. 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 also purchase
municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon
securities and payment-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 may also
1 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
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 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 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 to
seek investment return
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 hedge against adverse movements in or to increase
or decrease its exposure to foreign currencies.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
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. 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 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.
The
portfolio managers utilize the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index as a reference
in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk factors—such
as sector and issuer weightings and duration—relative to the index. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology to
calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from
a globally interconnected team of 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.
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.
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 portfolio
managers 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
2 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
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.
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.
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 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.
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 and therefore considered
to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
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.
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
3 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cash/Cash
Equivalents Risk.
In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents will negatively affect the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options,
and return potential.
Active
Trading Risk.
Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
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

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 primary investment objective is to seek to provide current income with preservation of capital. Capital appreciation is a
secondary objective that is sought only when consistent with the Fund’s primary
5 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
investment objective.
The Fund’s investment objectives 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 corporate bonds, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to such securities. For these purposes, a corporate bond is defined as any corporate debt security with an original term to maturity
of greater than one year.
At
least 65% of the Fund’s net assets must be, and up to 100% may be,
invested in investment grade securities; securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities; commercial
paper rated Prime by Moody’s or A- or higher by S&P; and cash and cash equivalents. 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.
Up
to 35% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in securities rated below
investment grade. Below investment grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. No more than 20% of the Fund’s net assets
may be invested in securities rated B- or below by S&P, or B3 or below by Moody’s, or unrated securities determined by the Adviser
to be of comparable quality (excluding unrated U.S. government agency obligations). The ratings specified above apply to preferred stocks
as well as to corporate bonds.
The
Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in preferred stocks. In addition,
the Fund may invest a portion or all of its net assets in securities issued by foreign governments or corporations, including those located
in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles; provided, however, that
the Fund may not invest more than 30% of its net assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
The
Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in convertible securities.
A convertible security is a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock, right, warrant or other security that may be converted into or exchanged
for a prescribed amount of common stock or other security of the same or a different issuer or into cash within a particular period of
time at a specified price or formula.
The
Fund does not generally purchase common stock but may acquire them
as a result of conversion of convertible securities into such common stocks or upon exercise of warrants attached to or included in a
unit with a debt security purchased by the Fund.
The
Fund may purchase mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such
as CMOs, CLOs and CDOs of any rating. The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. 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 also purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash
income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-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.
Payment-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 may also engage in 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 TBA is entered into.
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 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
to seek investment
return 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.
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
exposure to interest rate changes. The Fund can also use currency futures to hedge against adverse movements in or to increase or decrease
its exposure to foreign currencies.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
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 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.
The
portfolio managers utilize the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Index as a reference
in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund. The
6 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
portfolio managers decide
on appropriate risk factors—such as sector and issuer weightings and duration—relative to the index. The portfolio managers
then employ proprietary technology to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio
managers consider recommendations from a globally interconnected team of 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.
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.
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 portfolio managers 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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
7 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
securities and may be
difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly in times of negative sentiment toward high yield 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.
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.
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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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
8 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
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.
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 and therefore considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade 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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. The Fund may
invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt
9 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
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. 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.
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.
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.
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
10 Invesco
Corporate Bond 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.
◾
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 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.
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.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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.
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

11 Invesco
Corporate Bond Fund
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.30% 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 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 of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
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.

13 Invesco
Corporate 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.

14 Invesco
Corporate 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial intermediary

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

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.

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.

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

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.
◾
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

*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

redemption transactions.

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

▪ 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 (Applicable 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 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”):

You may exchange Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C
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 and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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:
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 69%
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
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) and equity securities (including common and preferred stock, and convertible
securities) of domestic and foreign issuers. The Fund’s common stock investments may also include China A-shares (shares of companies
based in mainland China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange).
The
Fund concentrates its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign
real estate and real estate-related companies. The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related company if at least
50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial
or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make
or invest in short-term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and
(ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies
and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
The
Fund may also invest in debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers
(including corporate debt obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment
grade debt 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. and at least 40%, unless market conditions are not
deemed favorable, in which case at least 30% of the Fund’s net assets will provide exposure to investments that are economically
tied to countries other than the U.S. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in 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 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 engage in short sales of securities. The Fund may engage
in short sales with respect to securities it owns or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take
advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the
1 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
same security at a later
date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns. The Fund will not sell a security short if, as a result
of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s net assets.
The
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 are denominated; though the Fund has not historically used these instruments.
When
constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven
investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as property market cycle analysis, property evaluation and management and
structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management
teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions and execute their stated strategic plan, and (iii) attractive
valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
The
portfolio managers focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers.
Each qualified security in the investment universe is analyzed using fundamental real estate analysis and valuation review to identify
securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects and attractive values. Some of the fundamental real estate factors
that are considered include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property
locations, physical attributes, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing
and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental real estate attributes are then
evaluated on the basis of relative value. Some of the valuation factors that are considered include: cash flow consistency and growth,
dividend yield, dividend coverage and growth, and cash flow and assets to price multiples.
The
portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics
similar to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index. The Fund uses this index as a guide in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not
an index fund.
The
portfolio managers seek to limit risk through various controls, such as
diversifying the portfolio 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 valuation has fallen below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile has changed significantly, (3) its fundamentals
have changed, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
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 understand 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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.
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
2 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
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.
The
Fund's investments in China A-shares are subject to trading restrictions,
quota limitations and clearing and settlement risks.
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 and therefore considered
to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
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.
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.
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
3 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

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.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in 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 and equity securities (including common
and preferred stock, and convertible securities) of domestic and foreign issuers.
REITs
are entities that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the
proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein. The Fund’s common stock investments may also include China A-shares (shares
of companies based in mainland China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange).
The
Fund concentrates its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign
real estate and real estate-related companies. The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related company if at least
50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial
or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make
or invest in short-term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and
(ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building
supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
The
Fund may also invest in debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers
(including corporate debt obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment
grade debt 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. and at least 40%, unless market conditions are not
deemed favorable, in which case at least 30% of the Fund’s net assets will provide exposure to investments that are economically
tied to countries other than the U.S. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging market
countries, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles.
5 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
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 market capitalizations of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers 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. A company’s
“market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding shares.
The
Fund may engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when
the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery
when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns or securities it does not own. Generally,
the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing
the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns. The Fund will not sell
a security short if, as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s
net assets.
The
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.
When
constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven
investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as property market cycle analysis, property evaluation and management and
structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management
teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions and execute their stated strategic plan, and (iii) attractive
valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
The
portfolio managers focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers.
Each qualified security in the investment universe is analyzed using fundamental real estate analysis and valuation review to identify
securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects and attractive values. Some of the fundamental real estate factors
that are considered include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property
locations, physical attributes, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing
and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental real estate attributes are then
evaluated on the basis of relative value. Some of the valuation factors that are considered include: cash flow consistency and growth,
dividend yield, dividend coverage and growth, and cash flow and assets to price multiples.
The
portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics
similar to the FTSE EPRA Nareit Developed Index. The Fund uses this index as a guide in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not
an index fund.
The
portfolio managers seek to limit risk through various controls, such as
diversifying the portfolio 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 valuation has fallen below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile has changed significantly, (3) its fundamentals
have changed, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
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 understand 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.
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,
economic crisis 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
6 Invesco
Global Real Estate 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.
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.
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), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of 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 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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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
7 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
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.
The
Fund's investments in China A-shares are subject to trading restrictions,
quota limitations and clearing and settlement risks.
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 and therefore considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
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. The Schedule of Investments included
in the Fund's annual and semi-annual reports identifies the countries in which the Fund had invested and the level of investment, as of
the date of the reports.
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.
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
8 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
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. 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.
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.
◾
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.
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
9 Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund
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.
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 Perpetual Park, Perpetual
Park Drive, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 1HH, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.75% 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.

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.

Global Real Estate 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.

13 Invesco
Global Real Estate 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

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
◾

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.

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

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.
◾
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:

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.

*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.

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.

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 (Applicable 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 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 and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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:

Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, Government Securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by cash or Government
Securities. In addition, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested, under
normal circumstances, in Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by Government Securities. In contrast
to the Fund’s 99.5% policy, the Fund’s 80% policy does not include cash or repurchase agreements collateralized by cash. Government
Security generally means any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United
States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting
as an instrumentality of the government of the United States.
The
Fund is a Government Money Market Fund, as defined by Rule 2a-7
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Rule 2a-7), that seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the
amortized cost method to value portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in conformity with
SEC rules and regulation requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, diversification and liquidity of investments.
The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities maturing within 397 calendar days of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions
permitted by applicable regulations. The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of no more than 60 calendar
days, and a dollar-weighted average life to maturity of portfolio securities of not more than 120 calendar days (determined without reference
to exceptions regarding interest rate adjustments). The Fund will limit investments to those securities that are Eligible Securities as
defined by applicable regulations at the time of purchase. Eligible Securities are (i) Government Securities,
(ii) shares of other money market funds, and (iii) securities
determined to present minimal credit risks by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund's
Board of Trustees (the Board).
In
selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus
on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield.

The
portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity, but may
sell a particular security when they deem it advisable, such as when market or credit factors materially change.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
You
could lose money by investing in the Fund.
An
investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government 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:
Money
Market Fund Risk.
Although
the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share price. The
Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not rely on or expect that the sponsor
will enter into support agreements or take other actions to provide financial support to the Fund or maintain the Fund’s $1.00 share
price at any time. The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default
of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively
affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets, and/or significant market volatility. While
the Board of Trustees may implement procedures to impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or temporarily suspend your ability to sell
shares in the future if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors, the Board
has not elected to do so at this time. Should the Board elect to do so, such change would only become effective after
shareholders were provided with specific advance notice of the change in the Fund’s policy and provided with the opportunity to
redeem their shares in accordance with Rule 2a-7 before the policy change became effective.
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.
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 may decline. Changes
in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s
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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
Repurchase
Agreement Risk.
If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults or otherwise does not fulfill its obligations, the Fund may incur delays and losses arising
from selling the underlying securities, enforcing its rights, or declining collateral value.
Yield
Risk. The Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities
in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities. When interest rates are very low or negative,
the Fund may not be able to maintain a positive yield or pay Fund expenses out of current income without impairing the Fund’s ability
to maintain a stable net asset value. Additionally, inflation may outpace and diminish investment returns over time. Recent and potential
future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments may affect interest rates.
Floating
and Variable Rate Obligations Risk. Some fixed-income securities
have variable or floating interest rates that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate
adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the stated prevailing
market rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there
may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting 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
Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
Effective
June 28, 2016, the Fund changed its investment strategy from a
prime money market strategy to a strategy that classified the Fund as a “government money market fund,” as defined by Rule
2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), and simultaneously changed its name to Invesco Government Money Market Fund.
Performance shown prior to that date reflects the Fund’s former prime money market strategy, which permitted investments in certain
types of securities that as a government money market fund, the Fund is no longer permitted to hold.
2 Invesco
Government Money Market Fund
Consequently, the performance
information below would have been different if the current investment limitations had been in effect during the period prior to the Fund’s
conversion to a government money market fund.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements. All Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains and the effect of the Fund's expenses.

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 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 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 provide current income consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund’s
investment objective may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, Government Securities,
and repurchase agreements collateralized by cash or Government Securities. In addition, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus
any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested, under
3 Invesco
Government Money Market Fund
normal
circumstances, in Government Securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by Government Securities. In contrast to
the Fund’s 99.5% policy, the Fund’s 80% policy does not include cash or repurchase agreements collateralized by cash. Government
Security generally means any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United
States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting
as an instrumentality of the government of the United States.
The
Fund is a Government Money Market Fund as defined by Rule 2a-7.
As permitted by Rule 2a-7, the Fund seeks to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value
portfolio securities and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. The Fund invests in conformity with SEC rules and regulation requirements
for money market funds for the quality, maturity, diversification and liquidity of investments. The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities maturing within 397 calendar days of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions permitted by applicable regulations.
The Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of no more than 60 calendar days, and a dollar-weighted average life
to maturity of portfolio securities of not more than 120 calendar days (determined without reference to exceptions regarding interest
rate adjustments). The Fund will limit investments to those securities that are Eligible Securities as defined by applicable regulations
at the time of purchase. Eligible Securities are (i) Government Securities,
(ii) shares of other money market funds, and (iii) securities
determined to present minimal credit risks by Invesco pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund's Board.
In
selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers focus
on securities that offer safety, liquidity, and a competitive yield.
The
portfolio managers normally hold portfolio securities to maturity, but may
sell a particular security when they deem it advisable, such as when market or credit factors materially change.
The
Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions by holding
cash, shortening the Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity or investing in other securities that are Eligible Securities
for purchase by money market funds as described in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in anticipation of or in
response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. 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:
Money
Market Fund Risk.
Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment
at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share
price. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not rely on or expect
that the sponsor will enter into support agreements or take other actions to provide financial support to the Fund or maintain the Fund’s
$1.00 share price at any time. The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default
of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively
affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets, and/or significant market volatility. While the Board of Trustees
may implement procedures to impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares in the future
if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors, the Board has not elected to
do so at this time. Should the
Board elect to do so,
such change would only become effective after shareholders were provided with specific advance notice of the change in the Fund’s
policy and provided with the opportunity to redeem their shares in accordance with Rule 2a-7 before the policy change became effective.
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 may decline. Changes
in central
bank policies could
also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
4 Invesco
Government Money Market Fund
◾
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.
Repurchase
Agreement Risk.
If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults or otherwise does not fulfill its obligations, the Fund may incur delays and losses arising
from selling the underlying securities, enforcing its rights, or declining collateral value.
The
Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that will cause more
than 5% of its total assets to be subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven calendar days. Subject to the portfolio
requirements of Rule 2a-7, there is no limit on the amount of the Fund’s assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements of
seven days or less.
Yield
Risk. The Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities
in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities. When interest rates are very low or negative,
the Fund may not be able to maintain a positive yield or pay Fund expenses out of current income without impairing the Fund’s ability
to maintain a stable net asset value. Additionally, inflation may outpace and diminish investment returns over time. Recent and potential
future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments may affect interest rates.
Floating
and Variable Rate Obligations Risk. Some fixed-income securities
have variable or floating interest rates that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate
adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the stated prevailing
market rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there
may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting 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
Information
concerning the Fund's portfolio holdings as well as its dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and dollar-weighted average life to
maturity as of the last business day or subsequent calendar day of the preceding month will be posted on its website no later than five
business days after the end of the month and remain posted on the website for six months thereafter.
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.15% 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 C and CX 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, if any, daily and pays them monthly.
In
order to earn dividends on a purchase of Fund shares on the day of the
purchase, the transfer agent must receive payment in federal funds
5 Invesco
Government Money Market Fund
before 12:00 noon Eastern
Time on that day. Purchases made by payments in other forms, or payments in federal funds received after 12:00 noon Eastern Time but before
the close of the customary trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, will begin to earn dividends on the next business day.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.

Government Money Market 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.
*As
a money market fund, the fund's average return is generally lower than 5%.

10 Invesco
Government Money Market 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

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

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

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

can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ 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

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 (Applicable 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 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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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 monthly on Form N-MFP.

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 0.64%, 1.39%, 0.89%, 0.39%, 0.39% and 0.39%, 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 June
30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. 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 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 97%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high-yield,
below-investment grade, fixed-income securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), and in derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The
Fund’s fixed income investments may include certain restricted securities,
including securities that are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Below-investment
grade securities are securities rated below “BBB-” or below
“Baa3” by at least one of S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), respectively,
or that have comparable ratings from other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). If two or more NRSROs have
assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest rating assigned. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities,
in which case Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing
their credit quality, in categories similar to those of NRSROs. In such instances, the unrated securities would then be counted toward
the 80% investment strategy if determined to be below-investment grade by the Adviser. 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 an NRSRO. In investing in
below-investment grade securities, the Fund may invest in “distressed” securities and securities that are in default.
The
Fund may purchase securities of any maturity and of issuers of any market
capitalization.
The
Fund is managed by Invesco’s Fixed Income Factor Team (FIF). In selecting
securities for the portfolio, the Fund’s portfolio managers and FIF analysts utilize a factor-based strategy that involves systematically
targeting
1 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
securities exhibiting
quantifiable issuer characteristics (or “factors”) that FIF believes will have higher returns than other fixed income securities
with comparable characteristics over market cycles. The portfolio managers will consider selling securities that no longer exhibit these
factors. In practice, this means the Fund may have higher allocations to: value bonds (bonds that have high spreads relative to other
securities of similar credit quality and/or sector); low volatility bonds (bonds that have lower levels of price volatility); and high
carry bonds (bonds with higher absolute yield or spread). The portfolio managers expect to include additional factors or modify the factors
used to build the Fund’s portfolio as they deem appropriate. The portfolio managers will also seek to minimize some of the residual
risks associated with the higher allocations to the types of bonds mentioned above (such as duration and sector concentration), including
through the use of derivatives, as described below.
Additionally,
the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in U.S. Treasury
and agency securities. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in certain collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), including
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), of any rating, and loan obligations, including
bank loans. The Fund may also, subject to the requirements regarding below-investment grade allocations described above, invest in foreign
debt securities, including securities issued by foreign governments or companies in developing and emerging markets, i.e., those that
are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles, but may only invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities denominated
in non-U.S. dollar currencies. The portfolio managers may use derivatives to seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure.
The
Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments for investment
purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, “structured” notes and other types of derivatives.
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 and Treasury
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 also invest in certain mortgage-related securities or asset-backed
securities, which may include privately issued and U.S. agency securities and securities of any credit rating.
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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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.
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.
Factor-Based
Investing Risk.
Although the Adviser uses a proprietary factor-based investment strategy designed to target securities exhibiting certain factor characteristics,
there is no guarantee the factor-based investment strategy will produce the desired outcomes. To the extent the factor-based investment
strategy or the information and data included therein are incorrect or incomplete, the decisions made by the Adviser in reliance thereon
will expose the Fund to potential risks and could
2 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
lead
to the Fund incurring losses on its investments. In addition, there may be periods when a particular factor is out of favor and therefore,
during such periods, the Fund may incur losses.
◾
High
Carry Factor. Securities exhibiting a high carry factor are subject
to the risk that changes in interest rates, exchange rates or their term will affect their value.
◾
Low
Volatility Factor. Low volatility securities are seen as having
a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility securities may not produce investment
exposure that has lower variability to changes in such securities’ price levels. Low volatility securities may also underperform
the broader market during periods of rapidly rising security prices.
◾
Value
Factor. Value securities are subject to the risk that valuations
never improve or that the returns on value securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market.
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.
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.
Distressed
Debt Securities Risk.
Distressed debt securities, including those issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy,
are speculative and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
3 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
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.
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.
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.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting 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 Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Global High Yield 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 Fund and the predecessor fund from year
to year as of December 31. For periods prior to February 28, 2020, performance shown is that of the Fund using its previous investment
strategy. Therefore, the past performance shown for periods prior to February 28, 2020 may have differed had the Fund’s current
investment strategy been in effect. The performance table compares the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s performance to that
of a broad measure of market performance.
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.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.
Updated
performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

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 to seek total return. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees
(the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in high-yield, below-investment grade, fixed-income securities (also referred to
as “junk”
5 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
bonds), and in derivatives
and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The
Fund’s fixed income investments may include certain restricted securities,
including securities that are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Below-investment
grade securities are securities rated below “BBB-” or below “Baa3” by at least one of S&P or Moody’s,
respectively, or that have comparable ratings from other NRSROs. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security,
the Adviser uses the lowest rating assigned. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Adviser may internally
assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in categories similar to those of NRSROs. In such
instances, the unrated securities would then be counted toward the 80% investment strategy if determined to be below-investment grade
by the Adviser. 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 an NRSRO. In investing in below-investment grade securities, the Fund may invest in “distressed”
securities and securities that are in default. The Fund may purchase securities of any maturity and of issuers of any market capitalization.
The
Fund is managed by Invesco’s Fixed Income Factor Team (FIF). In selecting
securities for the portfolio, the Fund’s portfolio managers and FIF analysts utilize a factor-based strategy that involves systematically
targeting securities exhibiting quantifiable issuer characteristics (or “factors”) that FIF believes will have higher returns
than other fixed income securities with comparable characteristics over market cycles. The portfolio managers will consider selling securities
that no longer exhibit these factors. In practice, this means the Fund may have higher allocations to: value bonds (bonds that have high
spreads relative to other securities of similar credit quality and/or sector); low volatility bonds (bonds that have lower levels of price
volatility); and high carry bonds (bonds with higher absolute yield or spread). The portfolio managers expect to include additional factors
or modify the factors used to build the Fund’s portfolio as they deem appropriate. The portfolio managers will also seek to minimize
some of the residual risks associated with the higher allocations to the types of bonds mentioned above (such as duration and sector concentration),
including through the use of derivatives, as described below.
Additionally,
the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in U.S. Treasury
and agency securities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. government. “Full faith and credit” means that the taxing power of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment
of interest and repayment of principal on a security. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury are: Treasury
bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when issued), Treasury
bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS). Some securities issued
by U.S. government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage obligations (Ginnie Maes), are also
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Others are supported only by the credit of the agency that issued them (for
example, obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, “Fannie Mae” bonds issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association
and “Freddie Mac” obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).
The
Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets in certain CDOs, including
CMOs and CLOs, of any rating, and loan obligations, including bank loans.
The
Fund may also, subject to the requirements regarding below-investment
grade allocations described above, invest in foreign debt securities, including securities issued by foreign governments or companies
in developing and emerging markets, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles, but may only invest
up to 10% of its net assets in securities denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. Foreign debt securities include obligations 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. Foreign debt securities also include debt
securities issued by foreign governments, as well as “supranational” entities, such as the World Bank. The portfolio managers
may use derivatives to seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure.
The
Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments for investment
purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, “structured” notes and other types of derivatives.
The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or for hedging purposes. A derivative
is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. The Fund is not required to use derivatives
in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.
The
Fund may also invest in certain mortgage-related securities or asset-backed
securities which may include private issued and U.S. agency securities and securities of any credit rating. Asset-backed securities are
fractional interests in pools of loans, receivables or other assets. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are
collateralized by the loans, receivables or other assets that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying
asset pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the investment adviser selects the loans, receivables or other assets that are included
in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. The Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages in the
form of “pass-through” mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or its agencies and instrumentalities,
or by private issuers, such as corporations, banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers. Mortgage-related
securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities. Mortgage-related securities that are
U.S. government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage
pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency.
Mortgage-related private issuer securities include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may
be issued by private issuers. Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may include loans on residential or commercial properties. Mortgage-related
securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), issued by private issuers are not U.S. government securities, making
them subject to greater credit risks than U.S. government securities.
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
6 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
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.
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 increaseand 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 and Treasury 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 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.

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.
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.
◾
Price
Arbitrage Risk.
Because the Fund can invest in below-investment-grade bonds that may 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.
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
7 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor 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.
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 lowest 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.
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.
Factor-Based
Investing Risk.
Although the Adviser uses a proprietary factor-based investment strategy designed to target securities exhibiting certain factor characteristics,
there is no guarantee the factor-based investment strategy will produce the desired outcomes. To the extent the factor-based investment
strategy or the information and data included therein are incorrect or incomplete, the decisions made by the Adviser in reliance thereon
will expose the Fund to potential risks and could lead to the Fund incurring losses on its investments. In addition, there may be periods
when a particular factor is out of favor and therefore, during such periods, the Fund may incur losses.
◾
High
Carry Factor. Securities exhibiting a high carry factor are subject
to the risk that changes in interest rates, exchange rates or their term will affect their value.
◾
Low
Volatility Factor. Low volatility securities are seen as having
a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility securities may not produce investment
exposure that has lower variability to changes in such securities’ price levels. Low volatility securities may also underperform
the broader market during periods of rapidly rising security prices.
◾
Value
Factor. Value securities are subject to the risk that valuations
never improve or that the returns on value securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market.
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.
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. 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.
Distressed
Debt Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued
by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative
and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally
not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to
8 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
protect its investment.
In addition, distressed securities involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial
risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to
seek recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation
proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with
a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be
subject to restrictions on resale.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
9 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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.
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.
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
10 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
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.
◾
Interest
Rate Swaps Risk. Interest rate swaps are subject to interest
rate risk and credit risk. An interest rate swap transaction could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference rate does not
perform as anticipated. Interest rate swaps are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations,
the Fund may lose money.
◾
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.
◾
“Structured”
Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk.
They are also subject to credit risk with respect both to the issuer and, if applicable, to the underlying security or obligor. If the
underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment
or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market,
making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable
price.
In some cases, the Fund may enter into agreements with an issuer of structured notes to purchase a minimum amount of those notes over
time.
◾
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.
◾
Volatility
Swaps Risks. Volatility swaps are subject to credit risks (if
the counterparty fails to meet its obligations), and the risk that the investment adviser is incorrect in its forecast of volatility for
the underlying security, currency, index or other financial instrument that is the subject of the swap. If the investment adviser is incorrect
in its forecast, the Fund would likely be required to make a payment to the counterparty under the swap. Volatility swaps can have the
potential for unlimited losses.
◾
Credit
Default Swaps Risk. A credit default swap enables an investor
to buy or sell protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer, such as an issuer’s failure to make timely payments
of interest or principal on its debt obligations, bankruptcy or restructuring. A credit default swap may be embedded within a structured
note or other derivative instrument. Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk of the underlying issuer and to counterparty
credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the
risk that the Fund will not properly assess the risk of the underlying issuer. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk
that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay the counterparty. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is
a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.
◾
Total
Return Swaps Risk. In a total return swap transaction, one party
agrees to pay the other party an amount equal to the total return on a defined underlying asset or a non-asset reference during a specified
period of time. The underlying asset might be a security or asset or basket of securities or assets or a non-asset reference such as a
securities or other type of index. In return, the other party would make periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate
or on the total return from a different underlying asset or non-asset reference. Total return swaps could result in losses if the
underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Total return swaps can have the potential for unlimited losses. They are
also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.
◾
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
11 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor Fund
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.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting 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
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, 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
Managers
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
◾
Noelle
Corum, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2010.
◾
James

High Yield Bond Factor Fund
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 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.
13 Invesco
High Yield Bond Factor 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. Effective August 31, 2019, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to the last
day of February.

High Yield Bond Factor 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

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

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

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

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

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
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:

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

can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ 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

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 (Applicable 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 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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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 87%
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 debt securities
that are determined to be below investment grade quality and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar
to such securities. These types of 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 by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) to be of comparable quality,
each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest rating
assigned.
The
Fund will principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above by an NRSRO
or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
The
Fund may invest in preferred stocks and convertible securities, which
are securities that generally pay interest and may be converted into common stock.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities. With
regard to foreign security holdings, up to 15% of the Fund’s net assets may be 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 also invest in securities not considered
foreign securities that carry foreign credit exposure.
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) of any
rating. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid or thinly traded investments. The Fund also may 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 also purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash
income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities. The Fund may also invest, subject to an overall 15% limit on loans,
in loan participations or assignments.
The
Fund may also invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs)
and in the securities of other investment companies, including ETFs.
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 gain or reduce exposure
to an asset class or a particular issue. The Fund can further use swap contracts,
1 Invesco
High Yield Fund
including credit default
index swaps, to hedge credit risk or take a position on a basket of credit entities and to gain or reduce exposure to an asset class or
a particular issue; and use total return swaps to gain exposure to a reference asset.
The
Fund can use options, including 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; currency options to manage currency exposure; 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 contracts and/or forward foreign currency contracts
to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
In
selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser focuses on securities
that it believes have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. The Adviser conducts a bottom-up
fundamental analysis of an issuer before its securities are purchased by the Fund. The fundamental analysis involves an evaluation by
a team of credit analysts of an issuer’s financial statements in order to assess its financial condition. The credit analysts also
assess the ability of an issuer to reduce its leverage (i.e., the amount of borrowed debt).
The
bottom-up fundamental analysis is supplemented by an ongoing review
of the securities’ relative value compared with other junk bonds, and a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends, such
as changes in interest rates.
The
portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by limiting the portfolio’s
assets that are invested in any one security, and by diversifying the portfolio’s holdings over a number of different industries.
Although the Fund is actively managed, it is reviewed regularly against its style-specific benchmark index (the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate
High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index) and its peer group index (the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index) to assess the portfolio’s
relative risk and its positioning.
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
portfolio managers 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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.
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
2 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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.
Foreign
Credit Exposure Risk.
U.S. dollar-denominated securities carrying foreign credit exposure may be affected by unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments that could affect payments of principal and interest.
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.
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.
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 and therefore considered
to
have
more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade 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.
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.
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.
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
High Yield 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.
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.
Exchange-Traded
Funds Risk.
In addition to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds
are subject to the following additional risks: (1) an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value;
(2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded
fund’s shares may be halted by the listing exchange; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not track the performance
of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may hold troubled securities. Investment in exchange-traded funds
may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses
paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund may invest are leveraged,
which may result in economic leverage, permitting the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument
and potentially resulting in greater volatility.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

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 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 debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality and in derivatives
and
5 Invesco
High Yield Fund
other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to such securities. These types of 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. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest
rating assigned.
The
Fund will principally invest in junk bonds rated B or above by an NRSRO
or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by the Adviser.
The
Fund may invest in preferred stocks and convertible securities, which
are securities that generally pay interest and may be converted into common stock.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities. With
regard to foreign security holdings, up to 15% of the Fund’s net assets may be 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 also invest in securities not considered
foreign securities that carry foreign credit exposure.
The
Fund may purchase mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such
as CMOs, CLOs and CDOs of any rating. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid or thinly traded investments. The Fund
also may 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 also purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do
not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-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. Payment-in-kind securities are debt securities that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities. The
Fund may also invest, subject to an overall 15% limit on loans, in loan participations or assignments.
The
Fund may also invest in REITs and in the securities of other investment
companies, including ETFs.
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 gain or reduce exposure to an asset class
or a particular issue. 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 and to gain or reduce exposure to an asset class or a particular issue; and total return swaps to gain
exposure to a reference asset.
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 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; currency options to manage currency exposure; and options on bond or rate futures to manage interest rate exposure.
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 instrument 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 contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign
currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
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.
In
selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser focuses on securities
that it believes have favorable prospects for high current income and the possibility of growth of capital. The Adviser conducts a bottom-up
fundamental analysis of an issuer before its securities are purchased by the Fund. The fundamental analysis involves an evaluation by
a team of credit analysts of an issuer’s financial statements in order to assess its financial condition. The credit analysts also
assess the ability of an issuer to reduce its leverage (i.e., the amount of borrowed debt).
The
bottom-up fundamental analysis is supplemented by an ongoing review
of the securities’ relative value compared with other junk bonds, and a top-down analysis of sector and macro-economic trends, such
as changes in interest rates.
The
portfolio managers attempt to control the Fund’s risk by limiting the portfolio’s
assets that are invested in any one security, and by diversifying the portfolio’s holdings over a number of different industries.
Although the Fund is actively managed, it is reviewed regularly against its style-specific benchmark index (the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate
High Yield 2% Issuer Cap Index) and its peer group index (the Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Index) to assess the portfolio’s
relative risk and its positioning.
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
portfolio managers 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.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different
6 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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.
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
7 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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.
Foreign
Credit Exposure Risk.
U.S. dollar-denominated securities carrying foreign credit exposure may be affected by unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments that could affect payments of principal and interest.
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.
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. 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.
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
8 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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
and therefore considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than
investment grade 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.
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.
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.
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
9 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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 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.
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.
Exchange-Traded
Funds Risk. In addition to the risks associated with the underlying
assets held by the exchange-traded fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following additional risks: (1) the market
price of an exchange-traded fund’s shares may trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the exchange-traded
fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted if the listing
exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate; (4) a passively managed exchange-traded fund may not accurately track the performance
of the reference asset; and (5) a passively managed exchange-traded fund would not necessarily sell a security because the issuer of the
security was in financial trouble unless the security is removed from the index that the exchange-traded fund seeks to track. Investment
in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate
share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund
may invest are leveraged. Investing in leveraged exchange-traded funds may result in economic leverage, which does not result in the possibility
of the Fund incurring obligations beyond its investments, but nonetheless permits the Fund to gain exposure that is greater than would
be the case in an unlevered instrument, which can result in greater volatility.
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.
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
10 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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.
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.
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 (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.
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
11 Invesco
High Yield Fund
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.55% 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:
◾
Niklas
Nordenfelt, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2020. From 2003 to 2020, he was associated with Wells Fargo Asset Management where he served as a Managing Director, Senior 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, 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.
12 Invesco
High Yield 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.

13 Invesco
High Yield 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.

14 Invesco
High Yield 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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.
◾

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.”
◾

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. 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

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:

the Fund’s transfer agent reserves the right to reject or limit the amount of orders placed during this time. If the Fund closes
early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent must receive your purchase order prior to such closing time. Purchase orders
will not be processed unless the account application and purchase payment are received in good order. In accordance
with the USA PATRIOT
Act, if you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current account application, your purchase order will not be
processed. Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and record your identifying information.
There
are no minimum investments for Class P or S shares for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, C, R, Y, Investor Class and

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

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. |
|

▪ You
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 (Applicable 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 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”):

You may exchange Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C
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 and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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.

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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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, 2025. 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 199%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests primarily in fixed-income securities and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar
to such securities. A significant portion of these securities consists of privately-issued mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities
such as commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), and collateralized loan obligations
(CLOs) of any rating. The mortgage-backed securities in which the Fund invests could also include mortgage pass-through certificates representing
participation interests in pools of mortgage loans originated by the U.S. Government or private lenders as well as those guaranteed by
U.S. Government agencies such as the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA)
or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC).
The
Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities related
to the real estate finance industry, including, without limitation, CMBS, RMBS, real estate investment trusts (REITs), other real estate-related
securities, loans and other instruments that are secured by, or otherwise have exposure to, real estate. The Fund may, at times, invest
substantially more than 25% of its total assets in securities related to the real estate finance industry.
The
Fund invests in below-investment grade securities. Below-investment
grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. A significant portion of the Fund’s investments consists of below-investment
grade securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The Fund will
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 also expects to engage in short sales of TBA mortgages, including short sales on TBA mortgages
the Fund does not own. The Fund’s use of TBA transactions results in a form of leverage, which could increase the volatility of
the Fund’s share price.
The
Fund may invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers located
in emerging markets countries (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles), in non-U.S. dollar denominated
securities and in depositary receipts.
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 and to manage duration. The Fund can further use credit default swaps or total return swaps to
manage credit exposure and to manage duration.
The
Fund can use futures contracts, including interest rate futures contracts
and bond futures contracts, to increase or reduce exposure to changes in interest rates and to manage duration.
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 may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. 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 invest in convertible securities, municipal securities and common
and preferred stock of REITs.
The
portfolio managers seek risk-adjusted returns across the fixed income
spectrum to provide a high, stable monthly income while providing the opportunity for long term price appreciation. The portfolio managers
use a “top down” analysis of macroeconomic trends combined with a “bottom up” fundamental analysis of market sub-sectors
and individual issuers to seek to continuously create investable information advantages throughout a market cycle. The portfolio managers
will invest opportunistically across a wide range of credit and issuer types to seek to provide relative value across fixed income.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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. The risks of investing in mortgage- and asset-backed securities will
be greater for the Fund than other funds that do not concentrate in the real estate finance industry.
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. The risks of investing in CLOs will be greater
for the Fund than other funds that do not concentrate in the real estate finance industry.
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.
Real
Estate Finance Industry Concentration Risk.
The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate finance industry. Investments in real estate related instruments, including CMBS,
RMBS, CLOs and REITs, may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values,
rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. 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, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental liabilities; difficulty
in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes. Because the Fund will concentrate its investments in the real
estate finance industry, the Fund will be subject to increased risks associated with this industry.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 and therefore considered
to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options,
and return potential.
Active
Trading Risk.
Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
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, 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 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 primarily in fixed-income securities and in derivatives and
other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. A significant portion of these securities consists of
privately-issued mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such as CMBS, RMBS, and CLOs of any rating. The mortgage-backed securities
in which the Fund invests could also include mortgage pass-through certificates representing participation interests in pools of mortgage
loans originated by the U.S. Government or private lenders as well as those guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies such as GNMA, FNMA
or FHLMC.
The
Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities related
to the real estate finance industry, including, without limitation, CMBS, RMBS, REITs, other REITs, loans and other instruments that are
secured by, or otherwise have exposure to, real estate. The Fund may, at times, invest substantially more than 25% of its total assets
in securities related to the real estate finance industry.
The
Fund invests in below-investment grade securities. Below-investment
grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. A significant portion of the Fund’s investments consists of below-investment
grade securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell 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 will engage in 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 TBA is entered into. The Fund also expects to engage in short sales of TBA mortgages,
including short sales of TBA mortgages the Fund does not own. The Fund’s use of TBA transactions results in a form of leverage,
which could increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price.
The
Fund may invest in foreign securities, including securities of issuers located
in emerging markets countries (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles), in non-U.S. dollar denominated
securities and in depositary receipts.
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 and to manage duration. The Fund can further use credit default swaps or total return swaps to manage credit exposure
and to manage duration.
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 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; currency options to manage currency exposure; and options on bond or rate futures to manage interest rate exposure.
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 contracts and bond
futures contracts, to increase or reduce exposure to changes in interest rates and to manage duration.
Duration
is a measure of volatility expressed in years and represents the anticipated
percent change in a fixed income investment’s price at a single point in time for a 1% change in yield. As duration increases, volatility
increases as applicable interest rates change.
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.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. 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 invest in convertible securities, municipal securities and common
and preferred stock of REITs.
The
portfolio managers seek risk-adjusted returns across the fixed income
spectrum to provide a high, stable monthly income while providing the opportunity for long term price appreciation. The portfolio managers
use a “top down” analysis of macroeconomic trends combined with a “bottom up” fundamental analysis of market sub-sectors
and individual issuers to seek to continuously create investable information advantages throughout a market cycle. The portfolio managers
will invest opportunistically across a wide range of credit and issuer types to seek to provide relative value across fixed income.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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. The risks of investing in
mortgage- and asset-backed securities will be greater for the Fund than other funds that do not concentrate in the real estate finance
industry.
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. The risks of investing in CLOs will be greater
for the Fund than other funds that do not concentrate in the real estate finance industry.
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.
Real
Estate Finance Industry Concentration Risk.
The Fund concentrates its investments in the real estate finance industry. Investments in real estate related instruments, including CMBS,
RMBS, CLOs and REITs, may be affected by economic, legal, cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values,
rents or occupancies of real estate related to the Fund’s holdings. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar structures,
tend to be small and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more volatile and less liquid 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, the Fund may own real estate directly, which involves additional risks such as
environmental liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or regulatory changes. Because the Fund will
concentrate its investments in the real estate finance industry, the Fund will be subject to increased risks associated with this industry.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 may impose material limitations
on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities, which can hinder the PCAOB’s
ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating in certain emerging markets.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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 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.
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 and therefore considered to have more speculative characteristics
and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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.
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.44% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee
waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.

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.
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.

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.

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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

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

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

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 may place your redemption order after you
have
provided the bank instructions that will be requested. |
|
Place
your redemption request at www.invesco.com/us. You will be
allowed
to redeem by Internet if:
▪ You
can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ 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 (Applicable 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 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”):

Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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 certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class C, Class
R, Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.52%, 1.27%, 0.77%, 0.27%, 0.27% and 0.27%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net
assets (the “expense limits”). 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 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 301%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities,
and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The
kinds of debt securities in which the Fund can invest include investment
grade U.S. corporate and government debt obligations (including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies
or federally-chartered entities referred to as “instrumentalities” ), as well as mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed
and asset-backed securities. The Fund’s debt investments may include certain restricted securities, including securities that
are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will only purchase investment grade
debt securities. “Investment-grade” debt securities are securities rated at or above “BBB-” or “Baa3”
by at least one of S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), respectively, or that have comparable
ratings from other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) . The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in
which case Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing
their credit quality, in investment grade categories similar to those of NRSROs. 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 an NRSRO.
Although
the Fund will only purchase investment grade debt securities (or
unrated securities that the Adviser has assessed as investment grade), it may continue to hold a security whose credit has been downgraded
or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s quality. As a result,
credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of
1 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
below-investment grade,
fixed income securities (also known as “junk” bonds) to become significant for an extended period of time.
The
Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity
of four to ten years; however, it may purchase securities that have short, intermediate or long maturities.
The
Fund may purchase securities of issuers of any market capitalization.
The
Fund is managed by Invesco’s Fixed Income Factor Team (FIF). In selecting
securities for the portfolio, the Fund’s portfolio managers and FIF analysts utilize a factor-based strategy that involves systematically
targeting securities exhibiting quantifiable issuer characteristics (or “factors”) that FIF believes will have higher returns
than other fixed income securities with comparable characteristics over market cycles. The portfolio managers will consider selling
securities that no longer exhibit these factors. In practice, this means the Fund may have higher allocations to: value bonds (bonds
that have high spreads relative to other securities of similar credit quality and/or sector); low volatility bonds (bonds that have lower
levels of price volatility); and high carry bonds (bonds with higher absolute yield or spread). The portfolio managers expect to
include additional factors or modify the factors used to build the Fund’s portfolio as they deem appropriate. The portfolio managers
will also seek to minimize some of the residual risks associated with the higher allocations to the types of bonds mentioned above (such
as duration and sector concentration), including through the use of derivatives, as described below.
The
Fund may invest in foreign debt securities, including securities issued
by foreign governments or companies in developing and emerging markets, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial
cycles, but may only invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies of which no more than
10% may remain unhedged. The portfolio managers may use derivatives to seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure.
The
Fund may invest in U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities and
may seek to obtain such exposure primarily through the use of standardized agreements for forward or future delivery in which the actual
mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until shortly prior to settlement (to be announced (TBA) transactions).
The
Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments for investment
purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, “structured” notes and other types of derivatives.
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 and Treasury
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 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
Factor-Based
Investing Risk.
Although the Adviser uses a proprietary factor-based investment strategy designed to target securities exhibiting certain factor characteristics,
there is no guarantee the factor-based investment strategy will produce the desired outcomes. To the
2 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
extent
the factor-based investment strategy or the information and data included therein are incorrect or incomplete, the decisions made by the
Adviser in reliance thereon will expose the Fund to potential risks and could lead to the Fund incurring losses on its investments. In
addition, there may be periods when a particular factor is out of favor and therefore, during such periods, the Fund may incur losses.
◾
High
Carry Factor. Securities exhibiting a high carry factor are subject
to the risk that changes in interest rates, exchange rates or their term will affect their value.
◾
Low
Volatility Factor. Low volatility securities are seen as having
a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility securities may not produce investment
exposure that has lower variability to changes in such securities’ price levels. Low volatility securities may also underperform
the broader market during periods of rapidly rising security prices.
◾
Value
Factor. Value securities are subject to the risk that valuations
never improve or that the returns on value securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
3 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
capacity
to make timely payments on their mortgages. Liquidity risk is even greater for mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages.
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.
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.
Active
Trading Risk.
Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting 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 Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Intermediate Income 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 Fund and the predecessor fund from
year to year as of December 31. For periods prior to February 28, 2020, performance shown is that of the Fund using its previous investment
strategy. Therefore, the past performance shown for periods prior to February 28, 2020 may have differed had the Fund’s current
investment strategy been in effect. The performance table compares the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s performance to that
of a broad measure of market performance.
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.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.
Updated
performance information is available on the Fund's website at www.invesco.com/us.

With
respect to Class R5 and Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial

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 total return. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees
(the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to such securities.
The
kinds of debt securities in which the Fund can invest include investment
grade U.S. corporate and government debt obligations (including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies
or federally-chartered entities referred to as “instrumentalities” ), as well as mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed
and asset-backed securities. The Fund’s debt investments may include certain restricted securities, including securities that are
only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The
Fund may invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government
or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government. “Full faith and credit” means that the taxing power of the U.S. government is pledged to
the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury
are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when
issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS).
Some
securities issued by U.S. government agencies, such as Government
National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage obligations (Ginnie Maes), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government. Others are supported only by the credit of the agency that
5 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
issued them (for example,
obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, “Fannie Mae” bonds issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association
and “Freddie Mac” obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).
The
Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages
in the form of “pass-through” mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or its agencies
and instrumentalities, or by private issuers, such as corporations, banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental
issuers. Mortgage-related securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities. Mortgage-related
securities that are U.S. government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in
the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a
U.S. government agency.
Mortgage-related
private issuer securities include multi-class debt or pass-through
certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may be issued by private issuers. Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may include
loans on residential or commercial properties. Mortgage-related securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), issued
by private issuers are not U.S. government securities, making them subject to greater credit risks than U.S. government securities. Asset-backed
securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, receivables or other assets. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose
vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, receivables or other assets that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the
income from the underlying asset pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the adviser selects the loans, receivables or other assets
that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will only purchase investment grade
debt securities. “Investment-grade” debt securities are securities rated at or above “BBB-” or “Baa3”
by at least one of S&P or Moody’s, respectively, or that have comparable ratings from other NRSROs. The Fund may also invest
in unrated securities, in which case the Adviser may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit
quality, in investment grade categories similar to those of NRSROs. 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 an NRSRO.
Although
the Fund will only purchase investment grade debt securities (or
unrated securities that the Adviser has assessed as investment grade), it may continue to hold a security whose credit has been downgraded
or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s quality. As a result, credit
rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment grade, fixed income securities
(also known as “junk” bonds) to become significant for an extended period of time.
The
Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity
of four to ten years; however, it may purchase securities that have short, intermediate or long maturities.
The
Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity
of four to ten years; however, it may purchase securities with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The maturity of a security (the
date when its principal repayment is due) differs from its effective duration, which attempts to measure the expected sensitivity of a
security’s price to interest rate changes. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in
the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio
can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three
years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease
in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration calculations rely on a number of
assumptions and variables based
on the historic performance
of similar securities. Therefore, duration can be affected by unexpected economic events or conditions relating to a particular security.
In the case of mortgage-related securities, duration calculations are based on historic rates of prepayments of underlying mortgages.
If the mortgages underlying the Fund’s investments are prepaid more rapidly or more slowly than expected, the duration calculation
for that security may not be correct.
The
Fund may purchase securities of issuers of any market capitalization.
The
Fund is managed by Invesco’s Fixed Income Factor Team (FIF). In selecting
securities for the portfolio, the Fund’s portfolio managers and FIF analysts utilize a factor-based strategy that involves systematically
targeting securities exhibiting quantifiable issuer characteristics (or “factors”) that FIF believes will have higher returns
than other fixed income securities with comparable characteristics over market cycles. The portfolio managers will consider selling securities
that no longer exhibit these factors. In practice, this means the Fund may have higher allocations to: value bonds (bonds that have high
spreads relative to other securities of similar credit quality and/or sector); low volatility bonds (bonds that have lower levels of price
volatility); and high carry bonds (bonds with higher absolute yield or spread). The portfolio managers expect to include additional factors
or modify the factors used to build the Fund’s portfolio as they deem appropriate. The portfolio managers will also seek to minimize
some of the residual risks associated with the higher allocations to the types of bonds mentioned above (such as duration and sector concentration),
including through the use of derivatives, as described below.
The
Fund may invest in foreign debt securities, including securities issued
by foreign governments or companies in developing and emerging markets, i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial
cycles, but may only invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies of which no more than
10% may remain unhedged. Foreign debt securities include obligations 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. Foreign debt securities also include debt
securities issued by foreign governments, as well as “supra-national” entities, such as the World Bank. The portfolio managers
may use derivatives to seek to hedge any foreign currency exposure.
The
Fund may invest in U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities and
may seek to obtain such exposure primarily through the use of standardized agreements for forward or future delivery in which the actual
mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until shortly prior to settlement (to be announced (TBA) transactions).
The
Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments for investment
purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, “structured” notes and other types of derivatives.
A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index
or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. The Fund may use derivatives
to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment
objective or for hedging and might not do so.
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
6 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
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.
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 increaseand 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 and Treasury 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 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.
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.

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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
7 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
Credit
Quality Risk. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will only
purchase investment grade debt securities, although it may continue to hold a security whose credit has been downgraded or, in the case
of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s quality. “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.
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.
Factor-Based
Investing Risk.
Although the Adviser uses a proprietary factor-based investment strategy designed to target securities exhibiting certain factor characteristics,
there is no guarantee the factor-based investment strategy will produce the desired outcomes. To the extent the factor-based investment
strategy or the information and data included therein are incorrect or incomplete, the decisions made by the Adviser in reliance thereon
will expose the Fund to potential risks and could lead to the Fund incurring losses on its investments. In addition, there may be periods
when a particular factor is out of favor and therefore, during such periods, the Fund may incur losses.
◾
High
Carry Factor. Securities exhibiting a high carry factor are subject
to the risk that changes in interest rates, exchange rates or their term will affect their value.
◾
Low
Volatility Factor. Low volatility securities are seen as having
a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility securities may not produce investment
exposure that has lower variability to changes in such securities’ price levels. Low volatility securities may also underperform
the broader market during periods of rapidly rising security prices.
◾
Value
Factor. Value securities are subject to the risk that valuations
never improve or that the returns on value securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market.
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.
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. 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.
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
8 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
9 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
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.
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 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.
◾
Interest
Rate Swaps Risk. Interest rate swaps are subject to interest
rate risk and credit risk. An interest rate swap transaction could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference rate does not
perform as anticipated. Interest rate swaps are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations,
the Fund may lose money.
◾
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.
◾
“Structured”
Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk.
They are also subject to credit risk with respect both to the
10 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
issuer
and, if applicable, to the underlying security or obligor. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the
structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured
notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable
price. In some cases, the Fund may enter into agreements with an issuer of structured notes to purchase a minimum amount of those notes
over time.
◾
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.
◾
Volatility
Swaps Risks. Volatility swaps are subject to credit risks (if
the counterparty fails to meet its obligations), and the risk that the investment adviser is incorrect in its forecast of volatility for
the underlying security, currency, index or other financial instrument that is the subject of the swap. If the investment adviser is incorrect
in its forecast, the Fund would likely be required to make a payment to the counterparty under the swap. Volatility swaps can have the
potential for unlimited losses.
◾
Credit
Default Swaps Risk. A credit default swap enables an investor
to buy or sell protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer, such as an issuer’s failure to make timely payments
of interest or principal on its debt obligations, bankruptcy or restructuring. A credit default swap may be embedded within a structured
note or other derivative instrument. Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk of the underlying issuer and to counterparty
credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the
risk that the Fund will not properly assess the risk of the underlying issuer. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk
that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay the counterparty. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is
a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.
◾
Total
Return Swaps Risk. In a total return swap transaction, one party
agrees to pay the other party an amount equal to the total return on a defined underlying asset or a non-asset reference during a specified
period of time. The underlying asset might be a security or asset or basket of securities or assets or a non-asset reference such as a
securities or other type of index. In return, the other party would make periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate
or on the total return from a different underlying asset or non-asset reference. Total return swaps could result in losses if the
underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Total return swaps can have the potential for unlimited losses. They are
also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.
◾
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.
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.
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.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting 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
11 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor Fund
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser did not receive any compensation from the Fund’s, 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
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:

Corum, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates

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 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.
12 Invesco
Intermediate Bond Factor 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. Effective August 31, 2019, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the last
day of February.

Intermediate Bond Factor 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

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

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:
◾

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.”
◾

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

The

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

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

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:

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 may place your redemption order after you
have
provided the bank instructions that will be requested. |
|
Place
your redemption request at www.invesco.com/us. You will be
allowed
to redeem by Internet if:
▪ You
can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ 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 (Applicable 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 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”):

Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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.

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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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 42%
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
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) and equity securities, including common and preferred stocks and convertible
securities.
The
Fund concentrates its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign
real estate and real estate-related companies. The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related company if at least
50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial
or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make
or invest in short-term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and
(ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building
supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
The
Fund may also invest in debt securities, including corporate debt obligations
and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly
known as “junk bonds”) of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
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 invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities. In regard
to foreign security holdings, up to 10% of the Fund’s net assets may be in 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 engage in short sales of securities. The Fund may engage
in short sales with respect to securities it owns or securities it does not own. Generally, the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take
advantage of an expected decline in the security price in anticipation of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price,
or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns. The Fund will not sell a security short if, as a result of such short sale,
the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s net assets.
1 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
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 are denominated; though the Fund has not historically used these instruments.
When
constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven
investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as property market cycle analysis, property evaluation and management and
structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management
teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions and execute their stated strategic plan, and (iii) attractive
valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
The
portfolio managers focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers.
Each qualified security in the investment universe is analyzed using fundamental real estate analysis and valuation review to identify
securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects and attractive values. Some of the fundamental real estate factors
that are considered include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property
locations, physical attributes, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing
and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental real estate attributes are then
evaluated on the basis of relative value. Some of the valuation factors that are considered include: cash flow consistency and growth,
dividend yield, dividend coverage and growth, and cash flow and assets to price multiples.
The
portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics
similar to the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund uses the benchmark index as a guide in structuring the
portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund.
The
portfolio managers seek to limit risk through various controls, such as
diversifying the portfolio 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 valuation has fallen below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile has changed significantly, (3) its fundamentals
have changed, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
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 understand 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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.
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.
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 and therefore considered
to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade securities.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk
2 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
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.
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. 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.
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.
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
3 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
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.
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.
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.

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.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in 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 and equity securities.
The principal types of equity securities in which the Fund invests are common and preferred stocks and convertible securities.
REITs
are entities that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the
proceeds to invest in real estate or interests therein.
The
Fund concentrates its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign
real estate and real estate-related companies. The Fund considers an issuer to be a real estate or real estate-related company if at least
50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management or sale of residential, commercial
or industrial real estate. These issuers include (i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make
or invest in short-term construction and development mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and
(ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building
supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
The
Fund may also invest in debt securities, including corporate debt obligations
and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt 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 Investor 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 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 market capitalizations of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers 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. A company’s
“market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding stock.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities. In regard
to foreign security holdings, up to 10% of the Fund’s net assets may be in 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 engage in short sales of securities. A short sale occurs when
the Fund sells a security, but does not deliver a security it owns when the sale settles. Instead, it borrows that security for delivery
when the sale settles. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns or securities it does not own. Generally,
the Fund will sell a security short to (1) take advantage of an expected decline in the security price in
5 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
anticipation of purchasing
the same security at a later date at a lower price, or (2) to protect a profit in a security that it owns. The Fund will not sell
a security short if, as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of all securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s
net assets.
The
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.
When
constructing the portfolio, the portfolio managers use a fundamentals-driven
investment process, including an evaluation of factors such as property market cycle analysis, property evaluation and management and
structure review to identify securities with characteristics including (i) quality underlying properties, (ii) solid management
teams with the ability to effectively manage capital structure decisions and execute their stated strategic plan, and (iii) attractive
valuations relative to peer investment alternatives.
The
portfolio managers focus on equity REITs and real estate operating issuers.
Each qualified security in the investment universe is analyzed using fundamental real estate analysis and valuation review to identify
securities that appear to have relatively favorable long-term prospects and attractive values. Some of the fundamental real estate factors
that are considered include: forecasted occupancy and rental rates of the various property markets in which a firm may operate, property
locations, physical attributes, management depth and skill, insider ownership, overall debt levels, percentage of variable rate financing
and fixed charge coverage ratios. The issuers that are believed to have the most attractive fundamental real estate attributes are then
evaluated on the basis of relative value. Some of the valuation factors that are considered include: cash flow consistency and growth,
dividend yield, dividend coverage and growth, and cash flow and assets to price multiples.
The
portfolio managers seek to construct a portfolio with risk characteristics
similar to the FTSE Nareit All Equity REITs Index (the benchmark index). The Fund uses the benchmark index as a guide in structuring the
portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund.
The
portfolio managers seek to limit risk through various controls, such as
diversifying the portfolio 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 valuation has fallen below desired levels, (2) its risk/return profile has changed significantly, (3) its fundamentals
have changed, or (4) a more attractive investment opportunity is identified.
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 understand 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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
6 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
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.
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), 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 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 and therefore
considered to have more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade
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.
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
7 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
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. 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.
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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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.
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.
◾
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.
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.
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
9 Invesco
Real Estate Fund
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 Perpetual Park, Perpetual
Park Drive, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9 1HH, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.73% 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.

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.

Real Estate 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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:

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

◾
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

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

◾
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.

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

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.

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 (Applicable 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 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”):

You may exchange Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C
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 and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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.

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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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

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 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 certain items discussed in the SAI) of Class A, Class A2,
Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares to 0.55%, 0.45%, 0.30%, 0.30% and 0.30%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net assets (the
“expense limits”). 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 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:
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 52%
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 component
securities of the ICE BofA 1-5 Year US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index (the Index) and in derivatives and other instruments that have
economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Index is comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) with
at least $1 billion in outstanding face value and a remaining term to final maturity of at least 1 year and less than 5 years at the time
of index rebalancing. The Fund can also invest the remainder of its assets in fixed income securities that are not included in the Index,
but which the Fund’s investment adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), believes will help the Fund track the
Index. The Fund generally expects that its duration, yield and maturity will be substantially similar to those of the Index.
The
Fund normally seeks to maintain an average portfolio effective duration
that is within +/- 1 year of the duration of the Index, which was [2.38] years as of February 28, 2023.
TIPS
are publicly issued, U.S dollar denominated, U.S. government debt securities
issued by the U.S. Treasury that have principal and interest payments linked to official inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price
Index or CPI) and their payments are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. As of February 28, 2023, there were
[20] TIPS in the Index.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, such as swap contracts, options
and futures contracts, to seek exposure to certain securities or groups of securities included in the Index.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery
or forward commitment basis, which means that the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The
portfolio manager primarily uses a replication strategy to track, as closely
as possible, the securities in the Index and their respective weightings, by investing directly in securities that make up the Index.
The portfolio manager adjusts the composition of the Fund to reflect changes in the composition of the Index generally at each rebalance
of the Index. The Fund may also use a representative sampling methodology to track the performance of the Index. Representative sampling
means that the portfolio manager may use a quantitative analysis to select either a subset of the securities that make up the Index or
a combination of some or all of the securities that make up the Index and other securities that are not part of the Index. In either case,
the representative sampling of securities selected by the portfolio manager should have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics
that are similar to the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market
1 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund
capitalization, duration,
maturity, credit quality, yield and coupon, as applicable. It is expected that the portfolio manager will use this representative sampling
methodology where it is difficult to acquire the necessary securities that make up the Index, where the asset levels of the Fund do not
allow for the holding of all the securities that make up the Index or where it is otherwise beneficial to the Fund to do so.
Unlike
many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investment
strategy that attempts to outperform the Index. Rather, the Fund utilizes an indexing approach, which may eliminate the chance that the
Fund will substantially outperform the Index, but it may also reduce some of the risk of active management. Indexing generally achieves
lower costs by keeping portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies.
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,
economic crisis 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.
Index
Risk.
Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Index. Therefore,
the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Index, even
if that security generally is underperforming. Additionally, the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Index,
and, therefore, any changes to the Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s
rebalance schedule.
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.
Inflation-Indexed
Securities Risk.
The values of inflation-indexed securities generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates. Because of the inflation-adjustment
feature, these securities typically have lower yields than traditional fixed-rate securities with similar maturities.
Normally
inflation-indexed securities will decline in price when real interest rates rise which could cause losses for the Fund. As a result, the
Fund's income from its investments in these securities is likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions of its investments
in more traditional fixed-income securities.
Inflation-Indexed
Securities Tax Risk.
Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed security 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 such event, the Fund may be required to make annual
distributions to shareholders that exceed the cash it has otherwise received. In order to pay such distributions, the Fund may be required
to raise cash by selling portfolio investments. The sale of such investments could result in capital gains to the Fund and additional
capital gain distributions to shareholders. In addition, adjustments during the taxable year for deflation to an inflation-indexed bond
held by the Fund may cause amounts previously distributed to shareholders in the taxable year as income to be characterized as a return
of capital.
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.
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.
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
2 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund
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.
Non-Correlation
Risk.
The return of the Fund’s assets managed pursuant to an indexing approach (Indexed Assets) may not match the return of the index
the Fund seeks to track with respect to the Indexed Assets (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 securities
holdings to reflect changes in the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Indexed Assets and the Underlying Index may vary
due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Indexed Assets and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions,
costs or liquidity constraints.
Sampling
Risk.
The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index
and in the Fund holding securities not included in the Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held
by the Fund could result in a greater decline in the Fund’s NAV than would be the case if all of the securities in the Index were
held. The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach may also include the risk that it may not track the return of the Index
as well as it would have if the Fund held all of the securities in the Index.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options,
and return potential.
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.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

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 to provide protection from the negative effects of unanticipated inflation. 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 component securities of the ICE BofA 1-5 Year US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index
(the Index) and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Index is comprised
of U.S. TIPS with at least $1 billion in outstanding face value and a remaining term to final maturity of at least 1 year and less than
5 years at the time of index rebalancing. The Fund can also invest the remainder of its assets in fixed income securities that are not
included in the Index, but which the Fund’s investment adviser, Invesco, believes will help the Fund track the Index. The Fund generally
expects that its duration, yield and maturity will be substantially similar to those of the Index.
The
Fund normally seeks to maintain an average portfolio effective duration
that is within +/- 1 year of the duration of the Index, which was [2.38] years as of February 28, 2023. 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. For example, the value of a fixed income security
with a duration of five years would be expected to decrease by 5% for every 1% increase in interest rates.
TIPS
are publicly issued, U.S. dollar denominated, U.S. government debt securities
issued by the U.S. Treasury that have principal and interest payments linked to official inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price
Index
or CPI) and their payments are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. As of February 28, 2023, there were [20] TIPS
in the Index.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, such as swap contracts, options
and futures contracts, to seek exposure to certain securities or groups of securities included in the Index.
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.
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.
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 may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery
or forward commitment basis, which means that the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The
portfolio manager primarily uses a replication strategy to track, as closely
as possible, the securities in the Index and their respective weightings, by investing directly in securities that make up the Index.
The portfolio manager adjusts the composition of the Fund to reflect changes in the composition of the Index generally at each rebalance
of the Index. The Fund may also use a representative sampling methodology to track the performance of the Index. Representative sampling
means that the portfolio manager may use a quantitative analysis to select either a subset of the securities that make up the Index or
a combination of some or all of the securities that make up the Index and other securities that are not part of the Index. In either case,
the representative sampling of securities selected by the portfolio manager should have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics
that are similar to the Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization,
duration, maturity, credit quality, yield and coupon, as applicable. It is expected that the portfolio manager will use this representative
sampling methodology where it is difficult to acquire the necessary securities that make up the Index, where the asset levels of the Fund
do not allow for the holding of all the securities that make up the Index or where it is otherwise beneficial to the Fund to do so.
There
also may be instances in which the portfolio manager may choose
to (i) overweight or underweight a security in the Index, (ii) purchase securities not contained in the Index that the portfolio manager
believes are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Index, or (iii) utilize various combinations of other available investment
techniques in seeking to track the Index.
4 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund
The
Fund may sell securities included in the Index in anticipation of their removal
from the Index, or purchase securities not included in the Index in anticipation of their addition to the Index.
Unlike
many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investment
strategy that attempts to outperform the Index. Rather, the Fund utilizes an indexing approach, which may eliminate the chance that the
Fund will substantially outperform the Index, but it may also reduce some of the risk of active management. Indexing generally achieves
lower costs by keeping portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio manager may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
manager does 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,
economic crisis 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.
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 Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security
unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. If a specific
security is removed from the 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 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 Index, and, therefore, any changes to the 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.
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.
Inflation-Indexed
Securities Risk.
Inflation-indexed securities typically provide principal and interest payments that are adjusted over time to reflect a rise (inflation)
or a drop (deflation) in the general price level for goods and services. Because of the inflation-adjustment feature, these securities
typically have lower yields than traditional fixed-rate securities with similar maturities. The values of inflation-indexed securities
generally fluctuate 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. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading
to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed securities, which could cause losses for the Fund. Conversely, if inflation rises at a faster
rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed securities.
The Fund's income from its investments in inflation-indexed securities is likely to fluctuate considerably more than the income distributions
of its investments in more traditional fixed-income securities.
Inflation-Indexed
Securities Tax Risk.
Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed security 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 such event, the Fund may be required to make annual
distributions to shareholders that exceed the cash
5 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund
it has otherwise received.
In order to pay such distributions, the Fund may be required to raise cash by selling portfolio investments. The sale of such investments
could result in capital gains to the Fund and additional capital gain distributions to shareholders. In addition, adjustments during the
taxable year for deflation to an inflation-indexed bond held by the Fund may cause amounts previously distributed to shareholders in the
taxable year as income to be characterized as a return of capital.
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.
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.
◾
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 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
6 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund
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.
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.
Non-Correlation
Risk.
The return of the Fund’s assets managed pursuant to an indexing approach (Indexed Assets) may not match the return of the index
the Fund seeks to track with respect to the Indexed Assets (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 securities
holdings to reflect changes in the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Indexed Assets and the Underlying Index may vary
due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Indexed Assets and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions,
costs or liquidity constraints.
Sampling
Risk.
The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index
and in the Fund holding securities not included in the Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held
by the Fund could result in a greater decline in the Fund’s NAV than would be the case if all of the securities in the Index were
held. The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach may also include the risk that it may not track the return of the Index
as well as it would have if the Fund held all of the securities in the Index.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.15% 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.

The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of ordinary income.
Dividends
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, quarterly.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any 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.
Closure
of Class A2 shares
The
Fund discontinued public sales of its Class A2 shares to new investors at the close of business on October 30, 2002.
Existing
shareholders of the Fund may continue to invest in Class A2 shares
of the Fund if they were invested in the Class A2 shares of the Fund at the close of business on October 30, 2002 and remain invested
in Class A2 shares of the Fund after that date.

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

9 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected 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.

10 Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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.

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.

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.
◾

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.
◾
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
with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.

*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.

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

(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 (Applicable 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 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”):

You may exchange Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C
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 and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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.

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 Distributors, Inc. (Invesco
Distributors) has contractually agreed to waive 0.15% of Rule 12b-1 distribution plan payments of Class C shares. Unless Invesco Distributors
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 12b-1 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:
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 155%
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, including
corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed 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 Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser)
to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase.
The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign debt securities,
including debt 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 up to 20% of its net assets in currencies and securities, including foreign currency derivatives,
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Fund may also invest in securities not considered foreign securities that carry
foreign credit exposure. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities considered below investment grade. Below investment
grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds.
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) of any
rating, which are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. 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 also purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do
not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed
delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security 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
1 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
mortgages, including
short sales on 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.
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 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 to
seek investment return
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 (create long or short) exposure to interest rate changes. The Fund can also use currency futures to increase or decrease
its exposure to foreign currencies and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are
denominated.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
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.
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.
The
portfolio managers utilize the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit
Index as a reference in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk
factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to this index. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology
to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from
a globally interconnected team of 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
Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity
and duration of less than three years, however due to events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes the maturity and duration
of the portfolio might not meet the target at all times.
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.
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 portfolio
managers 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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,
2 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
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.
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 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.
Foreign
Credit Exposure Risk.
U.S. dollar-denominated securities carrying foreign credit exposure may be affected by unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments that could affect payments of principal and interest.
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.
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
3 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options,
and return potential.
Active
Trading Risk.
Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.
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,
4 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
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

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 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, including
corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and agency securities and mortgage-backed and asset-backed 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 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 25% of its net assets in foreign debt securities,
including debt 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 up to 20% of its net assets in currencies and securities, including foreign currency derivatives,
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Fund may also invest in securities not considered foreign securities that carry
foreign credit exposure. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities considered below investment grade. Below investment
grade securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds.
The
Fund may purchase mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities such
as CMOs, CLOs and CDOs of any rating, which are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The
Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded investments. 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 also purchase municipal securities. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do
not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-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. Payment-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 may buy or sell 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 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 TBA is entered into. 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 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
to seek investment
return 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.
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 (create long or short) exposure to interest rate changes. A long derivative position involves the Fund buying a derivative with the
anticipation of a price increase of the underlying asset, and a short derivative position involves the Fund writing (selling) a derivative
with the anticipation of a price decrease of the underlying asset. The Fund can also use currency futures to increase or decrease its
exposure to foreign currencies and to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The
Fund can engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot basis
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 utilizes active duration (i.e., making investments to reduce or increase
the sensitivity of the Fund’s portfolio to interest rate changes) and
6 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
yield curve positioning
(i.e., making investments that allow the Fund to benefit from varying interest rates) for risk management and for generating alpha.
The
portfolio managers utilize the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Government/Credit
Index as a reference in structuring the portfolio, but the Fund is not an index fund. The portfolio managers decide on appropriate risk
factors such as sector and issuer weightings and duration relative to this index. The portfolio managers then employ proprietary technology
to calculate appropriate position sizes for each of these risk factors. In doing so, the portfolio managers consider recommendations from
a globally interconnected team of 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
Fund will attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity
and duration of less than three years, however due to events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes the maturity and duration
of the portfolio might not meet the target at all times.
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.
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 portfolio
managers 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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
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
7 Invesco
Short Term 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 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.
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.
8 Invesco
Short Term Bond 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 may
impose material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities,
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain emerging markets. 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.
Foreign
Credit Exposure Risk.
U.S. dollar-denominated securities carrying foreign credit exposure may be affected by unfavorable political, economic or governmental
developments that could affect payments of principal and interest.
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.
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
9 Invesco
Short Term Bond 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.
◾
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 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.
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.
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. 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.
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
10 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
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 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.
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.
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.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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,
including by adversely impacting the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.
Active
Trading Risk.
Active trading of portfolio securities may result in high brokerage costs, which may lower the Fund’s actual return. Active
11 Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
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.
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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 February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.31% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee
waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A

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
this 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. 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. 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, 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.

Short Term Bond 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

13 Invesco
Short Term 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.

14 Invesco
Short Term 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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

◾
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
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.

special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial intermediary

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

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
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:

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

can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ 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 (Applicable 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 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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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 certain items discussed in the SAI) of Invesco Cash Reserve,
Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares to 0.73%, 1.58%, 1.08%, 0.58% and 0.48%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net assets
(the “expense limits”). 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 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:

would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund is a money market fund that intends to qualify as a “government money market fund,” in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a government money market fund, the Fund must invest at least 99.5% of its total assets
in cash, government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are “collateralized fully” (i.e. backed by cash or government
securities). Government security generally means any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or
by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government of the United States. The securities in which
the Fund invests may have fixed, floating or variable interest rates. The Fund may also invest in affiliated and unaffiliated government
money market funds. Additionally, as a government money market fund, the Fund is not required to impose a liquidity fee and/or temporary
redemption gate.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net
assets (plus borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in government securities and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
government securities. In contrast to the Fund's 99.5% policy, the Fund's 80% policy does not include cash or repurchase agreements collateralized
by cash. The 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental investment policy and will not be changed without 60 days’ advance notice
to shareholders.
The
Fund invests in conformity with SEC rules and regulation requirements
for money market funds for the quality, maturity, diversification and liquidity of investments. The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities maturing within 397 calendar days of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions permitted by applicable regulations. The
Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of no more than 60 calendar days, and a dollar-weighted average life to maturity
of portfolio securities of not more than 120 calendar days (determined without reference to exceptions regarding interest rate adjustments).
The Fund will limit investments to those securities that are Eligible Securities as defined by applicable regulations at the time of purchase.
Eligible Securities are (i) government securities,
(ii) shares of other money market funds, and (iii) securities
determined to present minimal credit risks by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund's
Board of Trustees (the Board).
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
You
could lose money by investing in the Fund.
An
investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
The risks associated with an investment in
1 Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio
the
Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Money
Market Fund Risk.
Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment
at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below the $1.00 share
price. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not rely on or expect
that the sponsor will enter into support agreements or take other actions to provide financial support to the Fund or maintain the Fund’s
$1.00 share price at any time. The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default
of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively
affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets, and/or significant market volatility. While the Board of Trustees
may implement procedures to impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares in the future
if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors, the Board has not elected to
do so at this time. Should the Board elect to do so, such change would only become effective after shareholders were provided with specific
advance notice of the change in the Fund’s policy and provided with the opportunity to redeem their shares in accordance with Rule
2a-7 before the policy change became effective.
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.
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 may decline. Changes
in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s
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.
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,
economic crisis 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.
Repurchase
Agreement Risk.
If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults or otherwise does not fulfill its obligations, the Fund may incur delays and losses arising
from selling the underlying securities, enforcing its rights, or declining collateral value.
Yield
Risk. The Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities
in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities. When interest rates are very low or negative,
the Fund may not be able to maintain a positive yield or pay Fund expenses out of current income without impairing the Fund’s ability
to maintain a stable net asset value. Additionally, inflation may outpace and diminish investment returns over time. Recent and potential
future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments may affect interest rates.
Floating
and Variable Rate Obligations Risk. Some fixed-income securities
have variable or floating interest rates that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate
adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the stated prevailing
market rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there
may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting 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 Fund has adopted the
performance of the Oppenheimer Government Money Market 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
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.
Effective
September 28, 2016, the predecessor fund changed its investment
strategy from a prime money market strategy to a strategy that classified the predecessor fund as a “government money market fund,”
as defined by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Performance shown prior to that date reflects the predecessor fund’s former
prime money market strategy, which permitted investments in certain types of securities that as a government money market fund, the predecessor
fund (and therefore the Fund) is no longer permitted to hold. Consequently, the performance information below would have been different
if the current

had been in effect during the period prior to the predecessor fund’s conversion to a government money market fund.
Class
Y shares’ returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019
are those of the Class A shares of the predecessor fund. Class A shares and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into
Class Y shares of the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class Y shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from
Class A shares’ returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Invesco Cash Reserve, Class C, Class R and Class
R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from Class A 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.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

Class C and Class R6 shares’
performance shown prior to the inception date is that of the predecessor fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV). Although
invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class C and Class R6 shares' returns of the Fund will be different from Class A shares'
returns of 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
and local taxes.
Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax
situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through
tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans, 529 college savings plans or individual retirement accounts.
After-tax
returns are shown for Class Y shares only and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

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 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 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.
3 Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek income consistent with stability of principal. The Fund’s investment objective may
be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.
The
Fund is a money market fund that intends to qualify as a “government
money market fund,” in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As a government money market
fund, the Fund must invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are “collateralized
fully” (i.e. backed by cash or government securities). Government security generally means any security issued or guaranteed as
to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the government
of the United States. The securities in which the Fund invests may have fixed, floating or variable interest rates. The Fund may also
invest in affiliated and unaffiliated government money market funds. Additionally, as a government money market fund, the Fund is not
required to impose a liquidity fee and/or temporary redemption gate.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net
assets (plus borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in government securities and repurchase agreements that are collateralized by
government securities. In contrast to the Fund's 99.5% policy, the Fund's 80% policy does not include cash or repurchase agreements collateralized
by cash. The 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental investment policy and will not be changed without 60 days’ advance notice
to shareholders.
The
Fund invests in conformity with SEC rules and regulation requirements
for money market funds for the quality, maturity, diversification and liquidity of investments. The Fund invests only in U.S. dollar-denominated
securities maturing within 397 calendar days of the date of purchase, with certain exceptions permitted by applicable regulations. The
Fund maintains a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of no more than 60 calendar days, and a dollar-weighted average life to maturity
of portfolio securities of not more than 120 calendar days (determined without reference to exceptions regarding interest rate adjustments).
The Fund will limit investments to those securities that are Eligible Securities as defined by applicable regulations at the time of purchase.
Eligible Securities are (i) government securities,
(ii) shares of other money market funds, and (iii) securities
determined to present minimal credit risks by Invesco pursuant to guidelines approved by the Fund's Board.
The
Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions by holding
cash, shortening the Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity or investing in other securities that are Eligible Securities
for purchase by money market funds as described in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (SAI), in anticipation of or in
response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. 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:
Money
Market Fund Risk.
Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment
at $1.00 per share, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. The share price of money market funds can fall below
the $1.00 share price.
The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not rely on or expect that the
sponsor will enter into support agreements or take other actions to provide financial support to the Fund or maintain the Fund’s
$1.00 share price at any time. The credit quality of the Fund’s holdings can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default
of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund’s share price. The Fund’s share price can also be negatively
affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets, and/or significant market volatility. While the Board of Trustees
may implement procedures to impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares in the future
if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors, the Board has not elected to
do so at this time. Should the Board elect to do so, such change would only become effective after shareholders were provided with specific
advance notice of the change in the Fund’s policy and provided with the opportunity to redeem their shares in accordance with Rule
2a-7 before the policy change became effective.
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 may decline. Changes
in central
bank policies could
also result in higher than normal redemptions by shareholders, which could potentially increase the Fund’s 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.
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.
4 Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio
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,
economic crisis 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.
Repurchase
Agreement Risk.
If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults or otherwise does not fulfill its obligations, the Fund may incur delays and losses arising
from selling the underlying securities, enforcing its rights, or declining collateral value.
The
Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that will cause more
than 5% of its total assets to be subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven calendar days. Subject to the portfolio
requirements of Rule 2a-7, there is no limit on the amount of the Fund’s assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements of
seven days or less.
Yield
Risk. The Fund’s yield will vary as the short-term securities
in its portfolio mature or are sold and the proceeds are reinvested in other securities. When interest rates are very low or negative,
the Fund may not be able to maintain a positive yield or pay Fund expenses out of current income without impairing the Fund’s ability
to maintain a stable net asset value. Additionally, inflation may outpace and diminish investment returns over time. Recent and potential
future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments may affect interest rates.
Floating
and Variable Rate Obligations Risk. Some fixed-income securities
have variable or floating interest rates that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The rate
adjustment intervals may be regular and range from daily up to annually, or may be based on an event, such as a change in the stated prevailing
market rate. Floating and variable rate securities may be subject to greater liquidity risk than other debt securities, meaning that there
may be limitations on the Fund’s ability to sell the securities at any given time. Such securities also may lose value.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy changes by the U.S. government
or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions 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, including by adversely impacting 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
Information
concerning the Fund's portfolio holdings as well as its dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and dollar-weighted average life to
maturity as of the last business day or subsequent calendar day of the preceding month will be posted on its website no later than five
business days after the end of the month and remain posted on the website for six months thereafter.
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 1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, 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.
5 Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio
Adviser
Compensation
During
the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, the Adviser received compensation of 0.27% of the Fund 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.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
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, if any, daily and pays them monthly.
In
order to earn dividends on a purchase of Fund shares on the day of the
purchase, the transfer agent must receive payment in federal funds before 12:00 noon Eastern Time on that day. Purchases made by payments
in other forms, or payments in federal funds received after 12:00 noon Eastern Time but before the close of the customary trading session
of the New York Stock Exchange, will begin to earn dividends on the next business day.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.

U.S. Government Money Portfolio
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. Effective February 29, 2020, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the
last day in February.

U.S. Government Money Portfolio
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 (except Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund and Invesco SMA
Municipal Bond Fund) and their share classes that have different fees and expenses. The prospectuses for Invesco SMA High Yield Bond Fund
and Invesco SMA Municipal Bond Fund contain information relevant to those funds.
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

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:

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.

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.

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 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.

◾
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.

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

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

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.

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.
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 (Applicable 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 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”):

You may exchange Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio for Class A, C
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 and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund
(the “Interval Funds”) are closed-end interval funds
that continuously offer their shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the investment adviser
for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco
Funds,
you generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses
for the Interval Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval Fund and limitations on exchanges out
of the Interval Funds.
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 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 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 the deferred tax asset balance 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 any deferred tax asset balance 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 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 files a complete
schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC monthly on Form N-MFP.

GENERAL
INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST
Fund
History
AIM
Investment Securities Funds (Invesco Investment Securities Funds) (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory
trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company.
The Trust was originally organized as a Maryland corporation on November 4, 1988 and Short Duration Inflation Protected was reorganized
on October 15, 1993 as a series portfolio of the Trust. Pursuant to another Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Invesco High Yield Fund,
Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Income Fund, were reorganized on June 1, 2000 as series portfolios of the Trust. In connection
with their reorganization as series portfolios of the Trust, the fiscal year end of each of Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco Income Fund changed from December 31 to July 31. Pursuant to another Agreement and Plan of Reorganization,
Invesco Real Estate Fund was reorganized on October 29, 2003 as a series portfolio of the Trust. Invesco Global Real Estate Fund commenced
operations as a series of the Trust on April 29, 2005. Under the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, (the Trust
Agreement), the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board) is authorized to create new series of shares without the necessity of a vote
of shareholders of the Trust.
Prior
to April 30, 2010, the Trust was known as AIM Investment Securities Funds.

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 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. Insofar as the federal securities laws supersede state law, these provisions
do not apply to shareholder derivative claims that arise under the federal securities laws.
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. These provisions
may
result in increased shareholder costs in pursuing a shareholder derivative claim and/or may limit a shareholder's
ability to bring a claim in a different forum.
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 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 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 as well as securities and techniques not described.
A Fund’s transactions in a particular type of security or use of a particular technique are 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.
Incidental
to their investment activities, 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.
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.
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are managed in accordance
with Rule 2a-7 and will only invest in debt investments that meet the portfolio requirements of Rule 2a-7 discussed in this SAI, including
those related to maturity, quality, diversification, and liquidity.
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.
Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will invest in convertible
securities based primarily on the characteristics of the equity security into which it converts, and without regard to the credit rating
of the convertible security (even if the credit rating is below investment grade). To the extent that a Fund invests in convertible securities
with credit ratings below investment grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although this may be somewhat offset
by the convertibility feature. See also "Debt Investments - Non-Investment Grade Debt Obligations (Junk Bonds)" below.
If,
because of a low price of the common stock, the conversion value is substantially below the investment value
of the convertible security, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. Generally, if the
conversion value of a convertible security increases to a point that approximates or exceeds its investment value, the value of the security
will be principally influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security will sell at a 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. In certain circumstances, CoCos may be automatically written down to zero, thereby cancelling the securities, and investors
(including a Fund) could lose the entire value of their investment even as the issuer remains in business. If such an event occurs, an
investor may not have any rights to repayment of the principal amount of the securities that has not become due. Additionally, an investor
may not be able to collect interest payments or dividends on such securities.
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.
Initial
Public Offerings. 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.
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.
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may only invest in
foreign securities denominated in U.S. dollars.
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 (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money
Portfolio) 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 market 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 may impose material
limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities
which can hinder the PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting firms located in or operating
in certain developing or emerging markets.
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.
Frontier
Markets. The risks associated with investments in frontier market
countries include all the risks associated with investments in developing and emerging markets. These risks are magnified for frontier
market countries because frontier markets countries generally have smaller economies, even less developed capital markets, and are traditionally
less accessible than traditional emerging and developing markets. As a result, investments in companies in frontier markets countries
are generally subject to a higher risk of loss than investments in companies in traditional emerging and developing market countries due
to less developed securities markets, different settlement procedures, greater price volatility, less developed governments and economies,
more government restrictions, and the limited ability of foreign entities to participate in certain privatization programs. Investments
in companies operating in frontier market countries are highly speculative in nature.
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. Additionally,
any difficulties 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 historically
have not been 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 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.
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.
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 to 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.”
Foreign
Government Obligations. Each Fund other than Invesco Short Duration
Inflation Protected Fund may invest in debt securities of foreign governments. Debt securities issued by foreign governments are often,
but not always, supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign governments, or their subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities,
that issue them. These securities involve the risks discussed above under “Foreign Securities”. Additionally, the issuer
of the debt or the governmental authorities that control repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to pay interest or repay principal
when due. Political or economic changes or the balance of trade may affect a country’s willingness or ability to service its debt
obligations. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt obligations, especially debt
obligations issued by the governments of developing countries. Foreign government obligations of developing countries, and some structures
of emerging market debt securities, both of which are generally below investment grade, are sometimes referred to as “Brady Bonds.”
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. Each Fund (except Invesco Government Money
Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio) 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 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.
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.”
Floating
Rate Corporate Loans and Corporate Debt Securities of Non-U.S. Borrowers.
Floating rate loans and debt securities made to and issued by non-U.S. borrowers in which the Funds invest 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 and issued
by 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.
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.
Foreign
Debt Securities. Foreign debt securities are debt securities that
are issued and/or settled outside the United States and may be backed by foreign guarantees. Debt securities issued by a corporation or
other issuer domiciled outside the United States that are dollar denominated and traded in the United States are not considered foreign
securities. Although denominated in U.S. dollars, Foreign Debt Securities may entail some or all of the risks set forth below.
Foreign
Currency Warrants. Foreign currency warrants entitle the holder
to receive from the issuer an amount of cash (generally, for warrants issued in the United States, in U.S. dollars) which is calculated
pursuant to a predetermined formula and based on the exchange rate between a specified foreign currency
and
the U.S. dollar as of the exercise date of the warrant. Foreign currency warrants generally are exercisable upon
their issuance and expire as of a specified date and time. Foreign currency warrants have been issued in connection with U.S. dollar-denominated
debt offerings by major corporate issuers in an attempt to reduce the foreign currency exchange risk which, from the point of view of
prospective purchasers of the securities, is inherent in the international fixed income marketplace.
Foreign
currency warrants may attempt to reduce the foreign exchange risk assumed by purchasers of a security
by, for example, providing for a supplemental payment in the event that the U.S. dollar depreciates against the value of a major foreign
currency such as the Japanese Yen or the euro. The formula used to determine the amount payable upon exercise of a foreign currency warrant
may make the warrant worthless unless the applicable foreign currency exchange rate moves in a particular direction (i.e., unless the
U.S. dollar appreciates or depreciates against the particular foreign currency to which the warrant is linked or indexed). Foreign currency
warrants are severable from the debt obligations with which they may be offered, and may be listed on exchanges.
Foreign
currency warrants may be exercisable only in certain minimum amounts, and an investor wishing to
exercise warrants who possesses less than the minimum number required for exercise may be required either to sell the warrants or to purchase
additional warrants, thereby incurring additional transaction costs. In the case of any exercise of warrants, there may be a time delay
between the time a holder of warrants gives instructions to exercise and the time the exchange rate relating to exercise is determined,
during which time the exchange rate could change significantly, thereby affecting both the market and cash settlement values of the warrants
being exercised. The expiration date of the warrants may be accelerated if the warrants should be delisted from an exchange or if their
trading should be suspended permanently, which would result in the loss of any remaining “time value” of the warrants (i.e.,
the difference between the current market value and the exercise value of the warrants), and, in the case where the warrants were “out-of-the-money,”
in a total loss of the purchase price of the warrants.
Foreign
currency warrants generally are unsecured obligations of their issuers and are not standardized foreign
currency options issued by the Options Cleaning Corporation (OCC). Unlike foreign currency options issued by the OCC, the terms of foreign
exchange warrants generally will not be amended in the event of governmental or regulatory actions affecting exchange rates or in the
event of the imposition of other regulatory controls affecting the international currency markets. The initial public offering price of
foreign currency warrants is generally considerably in excess of the price that a commercial user of foreign currencies might pay in the
interbank market for a comparable option involving significantly larger amounts of foreign currencies. Foreign currency warrants are subject
to complex political or economic factors.
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.
Exchange-Traded
Funds
Exchange-Traded
Funds (ETFs). Each Fund except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may purchase shares of 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. The Fund 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 except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may invest a portion of its respective 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 except Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio 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. Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may, from time to time, take temporary
defensive positions by holding cash, shortening the Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity or investing in other securities
that are Eligible Securities for purchase by money market funds as described below, in anticipation of or in response to adverse market,
economic, political or other market conditions. As a result, a Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may experience situations
where it is unable to invest money that it has received overnight such as when it receives cash inflows after the overnight repurchase
markets have closed. The Funds are permitted to leave balances in their accounts with the Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon), their
custodian bank. To compensate the Funds for such activity, the Funds may receive compensation from BNY Mellon at an agreed upon rate.
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.
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,
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.
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). Each Fund except Invesco Government Money
Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may invest in 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.
Event-Linked
Bonds. Event-linked bonds, including “catastrophe”
bonds and other insurance-linked securities, are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is
contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical
or economic loss. In some cases, the trigger event will not be deemed to have occurred unless the event is of a certain magnitude (based
on, for example, scientific readings) or causes a certain measurable amount of loss to the issuer, a particular industry group or a reference
index. If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, a Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal and additional interest. A Fund
may also invest in similar bonds where the Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal and additional interest if the mortality rate
in a geographic area exceeds a stated threshold prior to maturity whether or not a particular catastrophic event has occurred. Event-linked
bonds include the universe of insurance-linked securities, including privately-placed event-linked securities including sidecards, collateralized
reinsurance and industry loss warranties. Some of these investments are illiquid but they are event-linked in that they default as a result
of an event or series of events.
Event-linked
bonds may be issued by government agencies, insurance companies, reinsurers, and financial
institutions, among other issuers, or special purpose vehicles associated with the foregoing. Often event-links bonds provide for extensions
of maturity in order to process and audit loss claims in those cases when a trigger event has occurred or is likely to have occurred.
An extension of maturity may increase a bond’s volatility.
Event-linked
bonds may expose a Fund to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or
jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. Lack of a liquid market may result in higher transaction
costs and the possibility that a Fund may be forced to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so. Event-linked bonds
are typically rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and a Fund will only invest in event-linked
bonds that meet the credit quality requirements for the Fund.
The
issuers of the event-linked bonds in which a Fund will invest are generally treated as PFICs for U.S. income
tax purposes. For more information about PFICs, see “Passive Foreign Investment Companies.”
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 Funds' 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 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 Interests.
Inverse floating rate interests
(Inverse Floaters) are
issued in connection with municipal tender option bond (TOB) financing
transactions to generate leverage for the Fund. Such instruments are created by a special purpose trust (a TOB Trust) that holds long-term
fixed rate bonds sold
to it by the Fund (the underlying security), and issues two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests
(Floaters), which are sold to other investors, and Inverse Floaters,
which are purchased by the Fund. 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 amount and accrued interest at specified intervals and bear interest at prevailing short-term
interest rates. Tendered
Floaters are remarketed for sale to other investors for their par amount and accrued interest by a remarketing agent to the TOB Trust
and are ultimately supported by a liquidity facility provided by a bank, upon which the TOB Trust can draw funds to pay such amount to
holders of Tendered Floaters that cannot be remarketed. The Fund,
as holder of the Inverse
Floaters, is paid the residual cash flow from the underlying security.
Accordingly, the Inverse Floaters provide the Fund with leveraged
exposure to the underlying security. When short-term interest rates rise or fall, the interest payable on
the Floaters issued by a TOB Trust will, respectively, rise or
fall, leaving
less or more, respectively, residual
interest cash flow from the underlying security available for payment on the Inverse Floaters. Thus, as short-term interest rates rise,
Inverse Floaters produce less income for the Fund, and as short-term
interest rates decline, Inverse Floaters produce more income for the Fund. The price of Inverse Floaters is expected to decline when interest
rates rise and increase when interest rates decline, in either case generally more so than the price of a bond with a similar maturity,
because of the effect of leverage. As a result, the price of Inverse Floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with
similar maturities, especially if the relevant TOB Trust is structured to provide the holder of the Inverse Floaters relatively greater
leveraged exposure to the underlying security (e.g., if the par amount of the Floaters, as a percentage of the par amount of the underlying
security, is relatively greater). Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events (including a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying
security or a substantial decrease in the market
value of the underlying security), a TOB Trust may be collapsed
by the remarketing agent or liquidity provider 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 shortfall,
if any,
between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the
principal amount of the Floaters. Consequently, in a rising interest rate environment, the Fund’s investments in Inverse Floaters
could negatively impact the Fund’s performance and yield, especially when those Inverse Floaters provide the Fund with relatively
greater leveraged
exposure to the underlying securities held by the relevant TOB Trusts.
Final
rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
Volcker Rule) prohibit banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing certain services to TOB Trusts,
which constitute
“covered funds”
under the Volcker Rule.
As a result of the Volcker
Rule,
the Fund, as holder of Inverse Floaters, is required to perform
certain duties in connection with TOB financing transactions previously performed by banking entities. These duties may alternatively
be performed by a non-bank third-party service provider. A Fund’s expanded role in TOB financing transactions as a result of the
Volcker Rule may increase its operational and regulatory risk.
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 financing transactions and TOB Trusts. The Risk Retention Rules
require the sponsor of a TOB Trust, which
is deemed to be the Fund
(as holder of the related Inverse Floaters), 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 and procedures intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules
may adversely affect the Fund’s ability
to engage in TOB financing transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There
can be no assurances that TOB financing transactions will continue
to be a viable or cost-effective form of leverage. The
unavailability of TOB financing transactions or an increase in
the cost of financing provided
by TOB transactions 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, which are 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 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.
Investment
Grade Debt Obligations. Each Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated
debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations and 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. Descriptions of debt securities ratings are found in Appendix A.
The
capacity of junk bonds to pay interest and repay principal is considered speculative. While junk bonds may
provide an opportunity for greater income and gains, they are subject to greater risks than higher-rated debt securities. The prices of
and yields on junk bonds may fluctuate to a greater extent than those of higher-rated debt securities. Junk bonds are generally more sensitive
to individual issuer developments, economic conditions and regulatory changes than higher-rated bonds. Issuers of junk bonds are often
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.
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.
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.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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.
Highly
Leveraged Transactions and Insolvent Borrowers. Loans made in
connection with highly leveraged 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. 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 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.
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 unless it reasonably believes,
at the time it enters into such loan agreement, that it will have
sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet its obligations with respect to all of its unfunded commitments, in each case as they come
due.
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.
Structured
Notes and Indexed Securities. Each Fund, except for Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, may invest in structured notes or other indexed securities. Structured
notes are derivative debt instruments, the interest rate or principal of which is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices
or other financial indicators (reference instruments). Indexed securities may include structured notes and other securities wherein the
interest rate or principal 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.
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.
Duration
and Maturity of the Fund’s Portfolio. Duration is a measure
of the expected life of a security on a current-value basis expressed in years, using calculations that consider the security’s
yield, coupon interest payments, final maturity and call features.
While
a debt security’s maturity can be used to measure the sensitivity of the security’s price to changes in
interest rates, the term to maturity of a security does not take into account the pattern (or expected pattern) of the security’s
payments of interest or principal prior to maturity. Duration, on the other hand, measures the length of the time interval from the present
to the time when the interest and principal payments are scheduled to be received (or, in the case of a mortgage-related security, when
the interest and principal payments are expected to be received). Duration calculations weigh the present value of each such payment by
the time in years until such payment is expected to be received. If the interest payments on a debt security occur prior to the repayment
of principal, the duration of the security is less than its stated maturity. For zero-coupon securities, duration and term to maturity
are equal. Absent other factors, the lower the stated or coupon rate of interest on a debt security or the longer the maturity or the
lower the yield-to-maturity of the debt security, the longer the duration of the security. Conversely, the higher the stated or coupon
rate of interest, the shorter the maturity or the higher the yield-to-maturity of a debt security, the shorter the duration of the security.
Futures,
options and options on futures in general have durations that are closely related to the duration of
the securities that underlie them. Holding long futures positions or call option positions (backed by liquid assets) will tend to lengthen
the portfolio’s duration.
In
some cases the standard effective duration calculation does not properly reflect the interest rate exposure
of a security. For example, floating and variable rate securities often have final maturities of ten or more years. However, their exposure
to interest rate changes corresponds to the frequency of the times at which their interest coupon rate is reset. In the case of mortgage
pass-through securities, the stated final maturity of the security is typically 30 years, but current rates of prepayments are more important
to determine the security’s interest rate exposure. In these and other similar situations, the investment adviser will use other
analytical techniques that consider the economic life of the security as well as relevant macroeconomic factors (such as historical prepayment
rates) in determining the Fund’s effective duration.
Rule
2a-7 Requirements (for Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio).
As
permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio seek to maintain a stable price of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities
and rounding the share value to the nearest cent. Rule 2a-7 imposes requirements as to the diversification of the Funds, quality of portfolio
securities, maturity of the Funds and of individual securities and liquidity of the Funds. The discussion of investments in this
SAI is qualified by Rule 2a-7 limitations with respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money
Portfolio.
As
a “Government Money Market Fund” under Rule 2a-7, Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio (1) are permitted to use the amortized cost method of valuation to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 share
price, (2) must invest at least 99.5% of their total assets in cash, government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are “collateralized
fully” (i.e., backed by cash or government securities) and (3) are not subject to a liquidity fee and/or a redemption gate on fund
redemptions which might apply to other types of funds in the future should certain triggering events specified in Rule 2a-7 occur. (In
conformance with Rule 2a-7, the Board has reserved its ability to change this policy with respect to liquidity fees and/or redemption
gates, but such change would only become effective after shareholders were provided with specific advance notice of a change in the Fund’s
policy and have the opportunity to redeem their shares in accordance with Rule 2a-7 before the policy change became effective.) Investments
in other government money market funds may be included in the 99.5% policy described above for Invesco Government Money Market Fund and
Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Diversification.
In summary, Rule 2a-7 requires that a money market fund may not invest in the securities of any issuer if, as a result, more than 5% of
the Fund’s total assets would be invested in that issuer; provided that, each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
securities of a single issuer for up to three business days after acquisition. Certain securities are not subject to this diversification
requirement. These include: government securities; certain repurchase agreements; and shares of certain money market funds. Rule 2a-7
imposes a separate diversification test upon the acquisition of a guarantee or demand feature. (A demand feature is, in summary, a right
to sell a security at a price equal to its approximate amortized cost plus accrued interest). Government security generally means any
security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. government or certain of its agencies or instrumentalities; or any
certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing.
For
purposes of these diversification requirements with respect to issuers of Municipal Securities (defined under
the caption Municipal Securities), each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United
States (U.S.), each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality, and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state
is a member is a separate “issuer.” When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality, or other political
subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision and the security is backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision,
such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly, in the case of an industrial development bond or private activity bond,
if such bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then such non-governmental user would be deemed to
be the sole issuer.
Quality.
Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may invest only in U.S. dollar denominated securities
that are "Eligible Securities" at the time of acquisition as defined in Rule 2a-7. Rule 2a-7 defines an Eligible Security, in summary,
as a security (i) with a remaining maturity of 397 calendar days or less that the Funds’ investment adviser (subject to oversight
and pursuant to guidelines established by the Board) determines present minimal credit risk to the Fund,
(ii) a government security, or (iii) issued by a registered investment
company that is a money market fund. The eligibility of a security with a guarantee may be determined based on whether the guarantee is
an Eligible Security.
The
Funds will limit investments to those which are Eligible Securities as
defined by applicable regulations at the time of purchase.
Maturity.
Under Rule 2a-7, Invesco Government Money Market and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may invest only in securities having
remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less. The Funds maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of no more
than 60 calendar days, and a dollar-weighted average life to maturity as determined without exceptions regarding certain interest rate
adjustments under Rule 2a-7 of no more than 120 calendar days. The maturity of a security is determined in compliance with Rule 2a-7,
which for purposes of the dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity permits, among other things, certain securities bearing adjustable
interest rates to be deemed to have a maturity shorter than their stated maturity.
Liquidity.
The Funds will hold securities that are sufficiently liquid to meet reasonably foreseeable shareholder redemptions in light of the Funds’
obligations under section 22(e) of the 1940 Act (which forbids the suspension of the right of redemption, or postponement of the date
of payment or satisfaction upon redemption for more than seven days after the tender of such security for redemption, subject to specified
exemptions) and any commitments the Funds have made to shareholders. In addition, the Funds shall not acquire an illiquid security if,
immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in illiquid securities. The Funds shall
also not acquire any security other than a Daily Liquid Asset (cash, direct obligations of the U.S. government, and other securities that
will mature or are subject to a demand feature that is exercisable and payable within one business day and amounts receivable and unconditionally
due within one business day on pending sales of portfolio securities) if, immediately after the acquisition the Fund would have invested
less than 10% of its total assets in Daily Liquid Assets. The Funds shall not acquire any security other than a Weekly Liquid Asset
(cash, direct obligations of the U.S. government, government securities issued by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an
instrumentality of the U.S. government pursuant to authority granted by the Congress that are issued at a
discount
to the principal amount to be repaid at maturity and have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, securities
that will mature or are subject to a demand feature that is exercisable and payable within 5 business days and amounts receivable and
unconditionally due within 5 business days on pending sales of portfolio securities) if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would
have invested less than 30% of its total assets in Weekly Liquid Assets.
Cash
Positions Risk. As government money market funds, a portion of
Invesco V.I. Government Money Market Fund's assets and Invesco V.I. U.S. Government Money Portfolio's assets will likely be held in cash,
which may negatively affect their performance. Maintaining cash positions may also subject those funds to additional risks, such as increased
counterparty risk exposure to the custodian bank holding the assets held in cash.
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 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.
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.
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 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. 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.
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. Each Fund other than Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund may invest in variable or floating rate instruments. Variable or floating rate instruments are securities
that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the obligation. The interest rates for securities with variable interest
rates are readjusted on set dates (such as the last day of the month or calendar quarter) and the interest rates for securities with floating
rates are reset whenever a specified interest rate change occurs. Variable or floating interest rates generally reduce changes in the
market price of securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate market rates. Accordingly,
as market interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less for variable or floating
rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable or floating interest rates have a demand feature allowing
the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued interest prior to its maturity. The terms of such demand instruments require payment
of principal and accrued interest by the issuer, a guarantor, and/or a liquidity provider. All variable or floating rate instruments will
meet the applicable rating standards of the Funds. 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.
For
Rule 2a-7 purposes (for Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money
Portfolio), a variable rate security, the principal amount of which is scheduled to be paid in more than 397 calendar days, that is subject
to a demand feature, shall be deemed to have a maturity equal to the longer of the period remaining until the next readjustment of the
interest rate or the period remaining until the principal amount can be recovered through demand. A floating rate security, the principal
amount of which, in accordance with the terms of the security, must unconditionally be paid in 397 calendar days or less shall be deemed
to have a maturity of one day.
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 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 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. A Fund
may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis whereby the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and
delivery taking place in the future. Each Fund may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery
basis. 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. The Funds, other than Invesco Government Money Market Fund
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, may engage in 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
Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund are permitted and intend from time to time
to effect short sales that are not “against the box.” In a short sale that is not “against the box,” Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund do not own the security borrowed. To secure its obligation to deliver to such broker-dealer
the securities sold short, Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund must segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities
equal to the difference between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral
with the broker in connection with the short sale (including the proceeds of the short sale). The amounts deposited with the broker or
segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that the Funds may lose on a short sale. In a short
sale that is not “against the box,” Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will normally close out
a short position by purchasing on the open market and delivering to the broker-dealer an equal amount of the securities sold short.
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will realize
a gain if the price of a security declines between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security.
On the other hand, the Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between those dates. The amount of any gain will
be decreased and the amount of any loss increased by any premium or interest that the Fund may be required to pay in connection with a
short sale. It should be noted that possible losses from short sales that are not “against the box” differ from those that
could arise from a cash investment in a security in that losses from short sales that are not “against the box” may be limitless,
while the losses
from
a cash investment in a security cannot exceed the total amount of the Fund’s investment in the security. For
example, if the Fund purchases a $10 security, potential loss is limited to $10; however, if the Fund sells a $10 security short, it may
have to purchase the security for return to the broker-dealer when the market value of that security is $50, thereby incurring a loss
of $40.
Short
sales against the box result in a “constructive sale” and require a Fund to recognize any taxable gain
unless an exception to the constructive sale applies. See “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters —
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. The prospectus may specify other
reasons for which such
borrowings may be
utilized.
The Funds may also borrow money to purchase additional securities
when Invesco or the Sub-Adviser, as applicable, deems it advantageous to do so. 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 the Funds to borrow money to purchase additional securities
gives the Funds greater flexibility to purchase securities for investment or tax reasons and not to be dependent on cash flows.
To the extent borrowing costs exceed the return on the additional investments; the return realized by the Fund’s shareholders will
be adversely affected. The Fund’s borrowing to purchase additional securities creates an opportunity for a greater total
return to the Fund, but, at the same time, increases exposure to losses. The Fund’s willingness to borrow money for investment
purposes, and the amount it borrows depends upon many factors, including investment outlook, market conditions and interest rates.
Successful use of borrowed money to purchase additional investments depends on Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to
predict correctly interest rates and market movements; such a strategy may not be successful during any period in which it is employed.
The
Funds may borrow from a bank, broker-dealer, or 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.
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. Invesco Government Money Market Fund
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio consider repurchase agreements with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to be U.S. government
securities for purposes of the Funds’ investment policies. 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 that are collateralized by cash or government securities, 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
Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund may invest in repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers
pertaining to U.S. Treasury obligations. However, in order to maximize the Fund's dividends which are exempt from state income taxation,
as a matter of operating policy, the Fund does not currently invest in repurchase agreements.
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio will not enter into
a repurchase agreement that causes more than 5% of their total assets at the time of purchase to be subject to repurchase agreements having
a maturity beyond seven days.
Restricted
and Illiquid Investments. Each Fund other than Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio 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. Invesco Government Money Market Fund
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may not acquire any illiquid security if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund
would have invested more than 5% of its total assets in illiquid investments.
For
purposes of the above 15% limitation, 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. For purposes of Invesco Government
Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio’s 5% limitation, an illiquid security means a security that cannot
be sold or
disposed
of in the ordinary course of business within seven calendar days at approximately the value ascribed to
it by the Fund, as determined pursuant to the 1940 Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
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.
Mortgage
Dollar Rolls. 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.
Sale
of Money Market Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio do not seek profits through short-term trading and will generally hold portfolio securities
to maturity. However, the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may seek to enhance the yield of the Fund by taking advantage of yield disparities
that occur in the money markets. For example, market conditions frequently result in similar securities trading at different prices. Also,
there frequently are differences in yields between various types of money market securities. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser may dispose
of any portfolio security prior to its maturity if such disposition and reinvestment of proceeds are expected to enhance yield consistent
with the Adviser’s and/or Sub-Adviser’s judgment as to desirable portfolio maturity structure. The Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser
may also dispose of any portfolio security prior to maturity to meet redemption requests, and as a result of a revised credit evaluation
of the issuer or other circumstances or considerations. This procedure may increase or decrease the Fund’s yield depending upon
the Adviser’s and/or Sub-Adviser’s ability to correctly time and execute such transactions. The Fund’s policy of
investing in securities with maturities of 397 calendar days or less will result in high portfolio turnover. Since brokerage commissions
are not normally paid on investments of the type made by the Fund, the high turnover should not adversely affect the Fund’s net
income.
Derivatives
Each
Fund, except Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
may invest in 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.
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.
Regulatory
Risk: The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially
impact a security or market.
Tax
Risks: For a discussion of the tax considerations relating to
derivative transactions, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — 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.
Each Fund except Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may engage in certain strategies
involving swaps 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 the Fund. 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.
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.
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.
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.
All Funds except Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may invest in 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 a Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive
to changes in the value of the option.
The
value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the current market value of the underlying investment,
the time remaining until expiration, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the underlying investment, the price
volatility of the underlying investment and general market and interest rate conditions.
A
Fund will not write (sell) options if, immediately after such sale, the aggregate value of securities or obligations
underlying the outstanding options would exceed 20% of the Fund’s total assets. A Fund will not purchase options if, immediately
after such purchase, the aggregate premiums paid for outstanding options would exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
A
Fund may effectively terminate its right or obligation under an option by entering into an offsetting closing
transaction. For example, a Fund may terminate its obligation under a call or put option that it had written by purchasing an identical
call or put option, which is known as a closing purchase transaction. Conversely, a Fund may terminate a position in a put or call option
it had purchased by writing an identical put or call option, which is known as a closing sale transaction. Closing transactions permit
a Fund to realize profits or limit losses on an option position prior to its exercise or expiration.
Options
may be either listed on an exchange or traded in OTC markets. Listed options are tri-party contracts
(i.e., performance of the obligations of the purchaser and seller are guaranteed by the exchange or clearing corporation) and have standardized
strike prices and expiration dates. OTC options are two-party contracts with negotiated strike prices and expiration dates and differ
from exchange-traded options in that OTC options are transacted with dealers directly and not through a clearing corporation (which guarantees
performance). In the case of OTC options, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option
at any specific time; therefore the Fund may be required to treat some or all OTC options as illiquid 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.
Each Fund except Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may for hedging purposes, or for
speculative purposes, enter into straddles, spreads or collars to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the Fund’s overall
position.
Spread
and straddle options transactions. In “spread” transactions,
a Fund buys and writes a put or buys and writes a call on the same underlying instrument with the options having different exercise prices,
expiration dates, or both. In “straddles,” a Fund purchases a put option and a call option or writes a put option and a
call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and typically the same exercise price. When a Fund engages in spread
and straddle transactions, it seeks to profit from differences in the option premiums paid and received and in the market prices of the
related options positions when they are closed out or sold. Because these transactions require the Fund to buy and/or write more than
one option simultaneously, the Fund’s ability to enter into such transactions and to liquidate its positions when necessary or
deemed advisable may be more limited than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option. Similarly, costs incurred by the Fund in connection
with these transactions will in many cases be greater than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option.
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.
Each
Fund other than Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Income Fund and Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio may purchase warrants. A warrant gives the holder the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specific
price within a certain time frame and is similar to a call option. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants
are issued by the company that will issue the underlying security, whereas options are not issued by the company. Young, unseasoned companies
often issue warrants to finance their operations.
Futures
Contracts. Each Fund except Invesco Government Money Market Fund
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio may enter into 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.
Pursuant
to federal securities laws and regulations, a Fund's use of futures contracts may require the Fund
to set aside assets to reduce the risks associated with using 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.
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.
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain Funds may enter into forward
foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
Certain Funds may also enter into forward foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes, including to seek additional income
or increased returns for the Fund.
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 was
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 a 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 no longer be published after June
30,
2023. Key
regulators had previously 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. On December
16,
2022,
the Federal Reserve Board adopted regulations implementing the
Adjustable Interest Rate Act. The regulations provide a statutory fallback mechanism to replace LIBOR,
by identifying benchmark rates based on SOFR that will replace
LIBOR in certain financial contracts
after June 30,
2023.
These regulations apply only to contracts governed by U.S. law,
among other limitations.
The regulations include provisions that (i)
provide a safe harbor for selection or use of a replacement benchmark
rate selected by the Federal Reserve Board;
(ii) clarify who may choose the replacement benchmark rate selected
by the Federal Reserve Board; and (iii) ensure
that contracts adopting a replacement benchmark rate selected by the Federal Reserve Board will not be interrupted or terminated following
the replacement of LIBOR; 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. The Funds may have instruments linked to other interbank offered rates that may also cease to be
published in the future. 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, wildfires, floods,
hurricanes, tsunamis, other
severe weather-related phenomena, and widespread disease including pandemics and epidemics, can be highly disruptive to economies and
markets, sometimes severely so, and can adversely impact 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.
The
recent spread of the human coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
is an example.
In the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO)
recognized COVID-19 as a global pandemic and both the WHO and the U.S. declared the outbreak a public health emergency. The subsequent
spread of COVID-19 resulted in, among other significant adverse economic impacts, instances of market closures and dislocations, extreme
volatility, liquidity constraints and increased trading costs. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 resulted in travel restrictions,
closed international borders, disruptions of healthcare systems, business
operations
(including business closures) and supply chains, employee layoffs
and general lack of employee availability, lower consumer demand, and defaults and credit downgrades, all of which contributed to disruption
of global economic activity across many industries and exacerbated other pre-existing political, social and economic risks
domestically and globally.
Although the WHO and the U.S.
ended their declarations
of COVID-19 as a global health emergency in
May 2023, the full economic impact at the macro-level and on
individual businesses,
as well as the potential for a future reoccurrence of COVID or the occurrence of a similar epidemic or pandemic, are unpredictable and
could result in significant and prolonged adverse impact on economies and financial markets in specific countries and worldwide and thereby
negatively affect a Fund’s performance.
Custody
and Banking Risks.
The
Fund’s assets may be maintained with one or more banks
or other depository institutions (“banking institutions”), including both US and non-US banking institutions. In addition,
the Fund’s assets may be maintained at regional (or mid-size) banking institutions or large banking institutions. Regional banking
institutions are generally subject to fewer regulatory safeguards than large banking institutions, causing regional banking institutions
to be perceived as having greater credit risk than large banking institutions. The Fund may enter into credit facilities or have other
financial relationships with banking institutions. The distress, impairment or failure of one or more banking institutions, whether or
not holding the Fund’s assets, may inhibit the ability of the Fund to access depository accounts or lines of credit at all or in
a timely manner. Such events can be caused by various factors including negative market sentiment, significant withdrawals, fraud, or
poor management. In such cases, the Fund may need to delay or forgo making new investments, or the Fund may need to sell another investment
to raise cash when it is not desirable to do so, which could result in lower performance. In the event of such a failure of a banking
institution, access to such accounts could be restricted and U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) protection may not be available
for balances in excess of the amounts insured by the FDIC (and similar considerations may apply to banking institutions in other jurisdictions
not subject to FDIC protection). In such instances, the Fund may not recover such excess uninsured amounts and instead would only have
an unsecured claim against the banking institution and may be able to recover only the residual value of the banking institution’s
assets, if any value is recovered at all. The loss of any assets maintained with a banking institution or the inability to access such
assets for a period of time, even if ultimately recovered, could be materially adverse to the Fund. In addition, the Fund’s Adviser
may not be able to identify all potential solvency or stress concerns with respect to a banking institution or transfer assets from one
bank to another in a timely manner in the event a banking institution comes under stress or fails. It is also possible that a Fund will
incur additional expenses or delays in putting in place alternative arrangements or that such alternative arrangements will be less favorable
than those formerly in place (with respect to access to capital, economic terms, or otherwise).
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 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 (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco 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. This restriction does not limit the Fund's investments
in (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, (ii) tax-exempt obligations issued
by governments or political subdivisions of governments, or (iii) with respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio, bank instruments. In complying with this restriction, the Fund will not consider a bank-issued guaranty or
financial guaranty insurance as a separate security.
Invesco
Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund will concentrate (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws,
Interpretations and Exemptions) its investments in the securities of domestic and foreign real estate and real estate-related companies.
For purposes of Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund's fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration,
real estate and real estate-related companies shall consist of issuers that at least 50% of its assets, gross income or net profits are
attributable to ownership, construction, management, or sale of residential, commercial or industrial real estate. These issuers include
(i) REITs or other real estate operating companies that (a) own property, (b) make or invest in short-term construction and development
mortgage loans, or (c) invest in long-term mortgages or mortgage pools, and (ii) issuers whose products and services are related to the
real estate industry, such as manufacturers and distributors of building supplies and financial institutions that issue or service mortgages.
Invesco
Income Fund will concentrate (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) its investments
in the real estate finance industry, including, without limitation, investments in residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”),
commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), other real estate-related
securities, loans and other instruments that are secured by, or otherwise have exposure to, real estate.
(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 (except for Invesco Global Real Estate Fund) may not purchase physical commodities or sell physical commodities unless acquired
as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions
involving futures contracts and options thereon or investing in securities that are secured by physical commodities.
Invesco
Global Real Estate 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 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 to the extent permitted by the fundamental restriction
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
any Fund without shareholder approval. The non-fundamental investment restrictions listed below apply to each of the Funds unless otherwise
indicated.
(1)
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, the Fund will not, with respect to 75% of its total assets
(and for Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, with respect to 100% of their total assets),
purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities
and securities issued by other investment companies), if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in
the securities of that issuer, except, in the case of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio,
as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.
The Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
In
complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, any Fund that invests in municipal securities will regard
each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United States, each political subdivision,
agency, instrumentality and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member as a separate "issuer." When the
assets
and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision are separate from the government creating the subdivision
and the security is backed only by assets and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
in the case of an Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity Bond, if that bond is backed only by the assets and revenues of the
non-governmental user, then that non-governmental user would be deemed to be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another
entity guarantees a security, then to the extent that the value of all securities issued or guaranteed by that government or entity and
owned by a 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 Fund,
Invesco Real Estate Fund and Invesco 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. The Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in
complying with the fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration, may invest up to 25% of their total assets in the securities
of issuers whose principal business activities are in the same industry and may invest over 25% of their assets in (i) obligations issued
or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, (ii) tax-exempt obligations issued by governments or political
subdivisions of governments, and (iii) bank instruments. For purposes of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund's fundamental
restriction regarding industry concentration, the United States Government shall not be considered an 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 Global Real Estate 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 proposed fundamental restriction and
the related non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds, subject to each Fund's investment objectives and general investment policies
(as stated in the Funds' prospectuses and herein), to invest directly in foreign currencies and other financial commodities and to purchase,
sell or enter into commodity futures contracts and options thereon, 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 fundamental restriction regarding the purchase and
sale of physical commodities and the related non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds to invest in ETFs, 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 objectives, policies
and restrictions as the Fund.
(7)
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.
(8)
The following apply:
(a)
Invesco Corporate Bond Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets
in corporate bonds.
(b)
Invesco Global Real Estate Fund and Invesco Real Estate Fund each invest, under normal circumstances,
at least 80% of their assets in securities of real estate and real estate-related issuers.
(c)
Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio each invest,
under normal circumstances, at least 80% of their assets in government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized
by government securities.
(d)
Invesco High Yield Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in debt securities
that are determined to be below investment grade quality.
(e)
Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets
in high-yield, below investment grade, fixed-income securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds).
(f)
Invesco Intermediate Bond Factor Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its
net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities.
(g)
Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80%
of its assets in the component securities of the ICE BofA 1-5 Year US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index.
(h)
Invesco Short Term Bond Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in
fixed-income securities.
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 in a Fund’s 80% policy
described above for a Fund may also 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 Fund
experienced significant variation in portfolio turnover during the two most recently completed fiscal years ended February 2022 and
February 2023.

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 assists the Board
with
its oversight of the Funds'
accounting and auditing process. The Audit Committee is responsible
for selecting the Funds' independent
registered public accounting firm (auditors),
including evaluating their independence and meeting with such
auditors to consider and review matters relating to the Funds' financial reports and internal controls. 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 its committees 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.

Trustee
Ownership of Fund Shares
The
dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by each trustee (i) in the Funds and (ii) on an aggregate
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, 2022 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.
Purchase
of Class A Shares of the Funds at Net Asset Value
The
Trustees and certain other affiliated persons of the Trust may purchase Class A shares of the Invesco Funds
without paying an initial sales charge. Invesco Distributors permits such purchases because there is a reduced sales effort involved in
sales to such purchasers, thereby resulting in relatively low expenses of distribution. For a complete description of the persons who
will not pay an initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of the Invesco Funds, see Appendix L — “Purchase, Redemption,
Exchange and Pricing of Shares — Purchase and Redemption
of Shares — Class A Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge.”
Purchases
of Class Y Shares of the Funds
The
Trustees and certain other affiliated persons of the Trust may purchase Class Y shares of the Invesco Funds.
For a description please see “Appendix L — Purchase, Redemption,
Exchange and Pricing of Shares — Purchase and Redemption
of Shares — Purchases of Class Y Shares.”
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.

may from time to time waive or reduce its fee. Voluntary fee waivers or reductions may be rescinded
at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers or reductions, Invesco will retain its ability
to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the end of each fiscal year.
Invesco
has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees to the extent necessary to assist Invesco Government Money
Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio will maintain a positive yield. That undertaking may be
amended or rescinded at any time.
Invesco
has contractually agreed through at least June 30, 2025, to waive
advisory fees payable by each Fund in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco receives from the Affiliated Money Market
Funds as a result of each Fund’s investment of uninvested cash in the Affiliated Money Market Funds. See “Description of
the Funds and Their Investments and Risks – Investment Strategies and Risks – Other Investments – Other Investment
Companies.” If applicable, such contractual fee waivers or reductions are set forth in the fee table to each 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 reduce the advisory fee waivers without approval of the Board. The management fees are found in Appendix
G.
For
the expense limitations identified in the table below (“Expense Limitations”) and the boundary expense
limitations identified in the table further below ("Boundary Limits"), Invesco has agreed until at least the expiration date
(the "Expiration Date") for the Expense Limitations,
and for an indefinite period until further notice to the Board
of Trustees for the Boundary Limits, that Invesco will waive its fees or reimburse expenses to the extent that expenses of the applicable
class of the applicable 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 or Boundary Limit rate, on an average of the daily net assets allocable to such class on an annualized basis.*
Expense
Limitations. Neither the 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. Invesco does not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived or reimbursed. For the Expense
Limitations, Invesco will review the then-current Expense Limitations for any Fund 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 agrees
to continue them.
Boundary
Limits. From time to time, Invesco may establish amend and/or
terminate Boundary Limits at any time in its sole discretion. Invesco will inform the Board of Trustees of any such changes. These Boundary
Limits are set forth in the Boundary Limits table below.
*
Acquired
Fund Fees and Expenses. 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 the Expense Limitations table.

Investment
Sub-Advisers
Invesco
has entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to each
Fund (each, a Sub-Adviser), pursuant to which these affiliated sub-advisers may be appointed by Invesco from time to time to provide discretionary
investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Funds. These affiliated sub-advisers, each of

Invesco
has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with another affiliate, Invesco Capital Management
LLC (Invesco Capital), also a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, to provide discretionary investment management services,
investment advice, and/or order execution services to Invesco Global Real Estate Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco High

Fund, Invesco High Yield Fund, Invesco Intermediate Bond Factor Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
The
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 Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Intermediate Bond Factor Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money
Portfolio. 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 each Fund which are not required to be performed by Invesco under
the Advisory Agreement. The Administrative Services Agreement provides that it will remain in effect and continue from year to year only
if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board, including the independent trustees. Under the Administrative
Services Agreement, Invesco is entitled to receive from the Funds reimbursement of its costs or such reasonable compensation. For Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the advisory fee payable 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 each Fund for the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable,
ended February 28 or 29 are found in Appendix I.

The
Bank of New York Mellon, 2 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, New York 11217-1431, is custodian of all securities

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 Funds, administers
the purchases and sales of portfolio securities, collects interest and dividends and other distributions made on the securities held in
the portfolios of the Funds and performs other ministerial duties. These services do not include any supervisory function over management

required by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and agreed to by the Funds' Audit Committee, include a provision mandating the use of mediation
and arbitration to resolve any controversy or claim between the parties arising out of or relating to the engagement letter or the services
provided thereunder. Financial statements for the predecessor fund for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 were audited by the
predecessor fund’s auditor, KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, which is different than the Funds’
auditor.
Counsel
to the Trust. Legal matters for the Trust have been passed upon
by Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, 2005 Market Street, Suite 2600, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-7018.
Securities
Lending Arrangements
As
discussed under “Lending Portfolio Securities” the Funds may lend their portfolio securities to generate additional
income. 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 February 28, 2023, 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:

*Paid
to BNY Mellon
Further,
for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, 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 February 28 or 29 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.

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.

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.

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.
In
the event, the Funds incur or anticipate any unusual expense, loss or depreciation in the value of a portfolio
investment that would adversely affect the net asset value per share of the Fund or the net income per share of a class of the Fund for
a particular period, the Board would at that time consider whether to adhere to the present dividend policy described above or to revise
it in light of then prevailing circumstances.
For
example, if the net asset value per share of the Fund was reduced, or was anticipated to be reduced below
$1.00, the Board might suspend further dividend payments on shares of the Fund until the net asset value returns to $1.00. Thus, such
expense, loss or depreciation might result in a shareholder receiving no dividends for the period during which it held shares of the Fund
and/or its receiving upon redemption a price per share lower than that which it paid.
Tax
Matters
The
following is a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders
that are not described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its
shareholders, and the discussion here and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This
“Tax Matters” section is based on the Code and applicable regulations in effect on the date of this 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.

of foreign currencies and other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived from
investing
in stock, securities, or foreign currencies generally are included as qualifying income in applying the Income
Requirement. It should be noted, however, that for purposes of the Income Requirement, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to
issue regulations that would exclude from qualifying income foreign currency gains which are not directly related to the principal business
of the RIC of investing in stock or securities (or options and futures with respect to stock or securities). No regulations have been
issued pursuant to this authorization. It is possible, however, that such regulations may be issued in the future. If such future regulations
were applied to the Fund, it is possible that the amount of their qualifying income would no longer satisfy the Income Requirement and
the Fund would fail to qualify as a RIC. There is a possibility such regulations would be applied retroactively, in which case the Fund
might not qualify as a RIC for one or more years. In the event the Treasury Department issues such regulations, the Board may authorize
a significant change in investment strategy or other action. It is also possible that the Fund's strategy of investing in foreign currencies
or foreign currency instruments, such as options, futures or forward contracts, might cause the Funds to fail to satisfy the Asset Diversification
Test, resulting in their failure to qualify as RICs. The IRS has not issued any guidance on how to apply the asset diversification test
to foreign currencies or instrument on foreign currencies. The tax treatment of the Fund and its shareholders in the event the Fund fails
to qualify as a RIC is described above under “Taxation of the Fund ― Qualification as a regulated investment company.”
Taxation
of Fund Distributions. 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%
or 20% 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. Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio do not expect
to realize any long-term capital gains and losses.
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.
Maintaining
a $1.00 share price. Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money
Portfolio Gains and losses on the sale of portfolio securities
and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the value of these securities may require the Fund to adjust its dividends to maintain
its $1 share price. This procedure may result in under- or over-distributions by the Fund of its net investment income. This in turn may
result in return of capital distributions, the effect of which is described in the following paragraph.
Return
of capital distributions. Distributions by the Fund that are not
paid from earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in reduction of) the shareholder’s
tax basis in his shares; any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares. 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.
Consent
dividends. The Fund may utilize consent dividend provisions of
Section 565 of the Code to make distributions. Provided that all shareholders agree in a consent filed with the income tax return of the
Fund to treat as a dividend the amount specified in the consent, the amount will be considered a distribution just as any other distribution
paid in money and reinvested back into the Fund.
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.
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.
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.
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Because shares in Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio are offered and redeemed at a constant
net asset value of $1.00 per share, a shareholder will generally recognize neither gain nor loss on a redemption of shares.
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.
Treasury
Inflation Protected Securities. Adjustments for inflation to the
principal amount of an inflation-protected U.S. Treasury bond held by a 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 such event, the fund may be required to
make annual distributions to shareholders that exceed the cash it has otherwise received. In order to pay such distributions, the fund
may be required to raise cash by selling portfolio investments. The sale of such investments could result in capital gains to the fund
and additional capital gain distributions to fund shareholders. In addition, adjustments during the taxable year for deflation to an inflation-indexed
bond held by a fund may cause amounts previously distributed in the taxable year as income to be characterized as a return of capital.
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. Code Section 860E(f) further provides that, except as provided in regulations (which have not been issued), with
respect to any variable contract (as defined in section 817), there shall be no adjustment in the reserve to the extent of any excess
inclusion. 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
Class
AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained
an account in Class A5, C5 or R5 of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific
Fund. All references in the following "Distribution of Securities" section of this SAI to Class A, C, and R shares shall include Class
AX, Class CX, and Class RX shares, respectively, unless otherwise noted.
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, 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 or periods, as applicable, are found in Appendix M.

12b-1. The Reimbursement Plan (Service Only) reimburses Invesco Distributors for expenses incurred for shareholder services provided for
existing shareholders of a Fund.
Invesco
Distributors has contractually agreed through June 30, 2024, to
waive 12b-1 fees to the extent necessary to limit 12b-1 fees to 0.50% of average net assets of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund’s Class
C shares. The contractual fee waiver is set forth in the Fee Table to the Fund’s Prospectus and may not be terminated or
amended to the Fund’s detriment during the period stated in the agreement between Invesco Distributors and the Fund.
Payments
pursuant to the Plans are subject to any applicable limitations imposed by FINRA rules.
See
Appendix N for a list of the amounts paid by each class of shares of each Fund to Invesco Distributors
pursuant to the Plans for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023, and Appendix O for an estimate by category of the allocation of actual
fees paid by each class of shares of each Fund pursuant to its respective distribution plan for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023.
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.
Invesco
Distributors has voluntarily undertaken to waive or reduce 12b-1 fees to the extent necessary to assist
Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There
is no guarantee that Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio will maintain a positive yield.
That undertaking may be amended or rescinded at any time.
Payments
made pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 Plans discussed above may continue for Funds or share classes
that are in limited offering or closed to new investors.
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 CX, Class R and Investor Class shares, 0.15% of the average
daily net assets of Class A2, Cash Reserve, Class AX and Class S shares, 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of
Invesco Short Term Bond Fund, 0.20% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund 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.

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.
VMIG
Ratings
For
variable rate demand obligations (VRDOs), Moody’s assigns both a long-term rating and a short-term payment obligation rating. The
long-term rating addresses the issuer’s ability to meet scheduled principal and interest payments. The short-term payment obligation
rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider to meet any purchase price payment obligation resulting from optional
tenders (“on demand”) and/or mandatory tenders of the VRDO. The short-term payment obligation rating uses the VMIG scale.
Transitions of VMIG ratings with conditional liquidity support differ from transitions of Prime ratings reflecting 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 obligations with conditional liquidity support.
For
VRDOs, we typically assign a VMIG rating if the frequency of the payment obligation is less than every three years. If the frequency of
the payment obligation is less than three years, but the obligation is payable only with remarketing proceeds, the VMIG short-term rating
is not assigned and it is denoted as “NR”.
Industrial
development bonds in the US where the obligor is a corporate may carry a VMIG rating that reflects
Moody’s view of the relative likelihood of default and loss. In these cases, liquidity assessment is based on the liquidity of
the corporate obligor.
VMIG
Scale
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.
An
issue rating is 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
payments linked to performance of an equity index).
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.
Credit
Opinions are either a notch- or category-specific view using the primary rating scale and omit one or
more characteristics of a full rating or meet them to a different standard. Credit Opinions will be indicated using a lower-case letter
symbol combined with either an ‘*’ (e.g. ‘bbb+*’) or (cat) suffix to denote the opinion status. Credit Opinions
will be typically point-in-time but may be monitored if the analytical group believes information will be sufficiently available.
Rating
Assessment Services are a notch-specific view using the primary rating scale of how an existing or potential
rating may be changed by a given set of hypothetical circumstances. While Credit Opinions and Rating Assessment Services are point-in-time
and are not monitored, they may have a directional Watch or Outlook assigned, which can signify the trajectory of the credit profile.
Ratings
assigned by Fitch are opinions based on established, approved and published criteria. A variation to
criteria may be applied but will be explicitly cited in our rating action commentaries (RACs), which are used to publish credit ratings
when established and upon annual or periodic reviews.
Ratings
are the collective work product of Fitch, and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible
for a rating. Ratings are not facts and, therefore, cannot be described as being "accurate" or "inaccurate." Users should refer to the
definition of each individual rating for guidance on the dimensions of risk covered by the rating.
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.
Very
low margin of safety. 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 capacity
for timely payment of financial commitments
relative to other issuers or obligations in the same country.
Under the agency’s National Rating scale, this rating is assigned to the lowest default risk relative to other in the same country
or monetary union. Where the liquidity profile is particularly strong, a “+” is added to the assigned rating.
F2:
Good Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates
a good capacity for timely payment of financial commitments relative to other issuers or obligations in the same country or monetary union.
However, the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of the higher ratings.
F3:
Fair Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates
an uncertain capacity for timely payment of financial commitments relative to other issuers or obligations in the same country or monetary
union.
B:
Speculative Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates
an uncertain capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
relative to other issuers or obligations in the same country or
monetary union.
C:
High Short-Term Default Risk. Indicates
a highly uncertain capacity for timely payment of financial commitments relative to other issuers or obligations in the same country or
monetary union.
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. 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 2023
Invesco
Ltd. and its wholly owned investment adviser subsidiaries (collectively, “Invesco”, the “Company”, “our”
or “we”) has adopted and implemented this Policy Statement on Global Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting (“Global
Proxy Voting Policy” or “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 our investment capabilities in the context of financial materiality 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. 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, certain entities may 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.
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 and implementation, inputs to analysis and research,
vote execution oversight and leads the Global Invesco Proxy Advisory
Committee (“Global IPAC”).
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
Global ESG team provides oversight of the proxy voting verification processes 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 global proxy governance and voting
operations are subject to periodic review by Internal Audit and
Compliance groups.
C.
Disclosures and Recordkeeping
Unless
otherwise required by local or regional requirements, Invesco maintains voting records in either electronic format or hard copy for at
least six 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

•

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 ESG team. These criteria are monitored and updated periodically by the global ESG team so 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 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.
•
Proportional
voting will be implemented in the following scenarios:
•
When
required by law or regulation, shares of an Invesco fund held by other Invesco funds will be voted in the same proportion as the votes
of external shareholders of the
underlying
fund. If such proportional voting is not operationally possible, Invesco will not vote the shares.
•
When
required by law or regulation, 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.
If such proportional voting is not operationally possible,
Invesco will not vote the shares.
•
For
US fund of funds where proportional voting is not required by law or regulation, shares of Invesco funds will be voted in the same proportion
as the votes of external shareholders of the underlying fund. If such proportional voting is not operationally possible, Invesco will
vote in line with our internally developed voting guidelines (as defined below).
•
Non-US
fund of funds will not be voted proportionally, Invesco will vote in line with local policies as per Exhibit A. If no local policies exist,
Invesco will vote non-US funds of funds in line with the firm level conflicts of interest process described above.
•
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 ESG 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, 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. The principles and positions reflected in this
Policy are designed to guide Invesco’s investment professionals in voting proxies; they 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. Invesco may vote on proposals not specifically addressed by
these principles based on an evaluation of a proposal’s likelihood to enhance long-term shareholder value.
Our
good governance principles are divided into six key themes 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.
Virtual
shareholder meetings: Companies should hold their annual or special
shareholder meetings in a manner that best serves the needs of its shareholders and the company. Shareholders should have an opportunity
to participate in such meetings. Shareholder meetings provide an important mechanism by which shareholders provide feedback or raise concerns
without undue censorship and hear from the board and management.
•
We
will generally support management proposals seeking to allow for the convening of hybrid
shareholder
meetings (allowing shareholders the option to attend and participate either in person or through a virtual platform).
•
Management
or shareholder proposals that seek to authorize the company to hold virtual-only meetings (held entirely through virtual platform with
no corresponding in-person physical meeting) will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Companies have a responsibility to provide strong
justification and establish safeguards to preserve comparable rights and opportunities for shareholders to participate virtually as they
would have during an in-person meeting. Invesco will consider, among other things, a company’s practices, jurisdiction and disclosure,
including the items set forth below:
•
meeting
procedures and requirements are disclosed in advance of a meeting detailing the rationale for eliminating the in-person meeting;
•
clear
and comprehensive description of which shareholders are qualified to participate, how shareholders can join the virtual-only meeting,
how and when shareholders submit and ask questions either in advance of or during the meeting;
•
disclosure
regarding procedures for questions received during the meeting, but not answered due to time or other restrictions; and
•
description
of how shareholder rights will be protected in a virtual-only meeting format including the ability to vote shares during the time the
polls are open.
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 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 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, and 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 management and disclosure of environmental, social and governance risk policies, we will generally vote
against the annual reporting and accounts or an equivalent resolution.
•
Climate
risk management: We encourage companies to report on material climate-related risks and opportunities and how these are considered within
the company’s strategy, financial planning, governance structures and risk management frameworks in accordance with the recommendations
of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”), or other relevant reporting frameworks. For companies
in industries that materially contribute to climate change, we encourage comprehensive disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions and Paris-aligned
emissions reduction targets, where appropriate. Invesco may take voting action at companies that fail to adequately address climate-related
risks, including opposing director nominations in cases where we view the lack of effective climate transition risk management as potentially
detrimental to long-term shareholder value.
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.

Proxy
Voting Guidelines
for
Invesco
Asset Management (Japan) Limited
Invesco
Japan Proxy Voting Guideline
Invesco
Japan (hereinafter “we” or “our) votes proxies to maximize the interests of our clients (investors) 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.

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

generally vote against proposals seeking to increase authorized shares after an acquirer emerges.
•

decide how to vote on new share issues, taking into account the rationales, the terms and conditions of issues, the impact of dilution

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.

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

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.
•
Changes
to capital structure, including increase and decrease of capital and preferred stock issuances.
•
Stock
option plans and other management compensation issues.
•
Social
and corporate responsibility issues.
•
Appointment
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.
•
Related
party transactions of the investee companies (excluding own group companies). For this purpose, “Related Party Transactions”
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)
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.
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.
Details
of Service Provider
IIAS
(Institutional Investor advisory Services) has been appointed as our proxy voting advisor. The scope of the agreement with IIAS includes:
IIAS shall provide non-binding Voting Recommendations for each Voting Event for Investee companies, access to their research portal and
analysts for any discussion, access to their online voting management systems etc. The details of the service provider (currently IIAS)
are provided in the “Rationale for continuation of Proxy Voting advisory report” which is prepared once in 2 years. IIAS
has standardized voting policies and has a committee-based voting decision making system. Their analysis to arrive at the recommendations
are detailed in nature and recommendations are fairly objective. However, the recommendations of IIAS are non-binding in nature, and IAMI,
reserves the right to vote differently based on their own judgement on the matter involved.
The
disclosures of voting rights exercised are as follows:
•
Details
of votes cast by the schemes of the Fund will be uploaded on the website of IAMI (www.invescomutualfund.com) (in machine readable spreadsheet
form) on a quarterly basis in the prescribed format within the stipulated timelines as prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
•

of voting details.
•
Summary

I.
Certification/Confirmation
•
On
an annual basis, IAMI will obtain a certification from scrutinizer (in terms of Rule 20 (3) (ix) of Companies (Management and Administration)
Rules, 2014) on voting reports and the same will be placed before the Boards of AMC and Trustee. The scrutinizer’s certificate
will form part of Annual Report and will also be uploaded on the website of IAMI (www.invescomutualfund.com).
•
A
confirmation shall also be submitted by Trustees in its half yearly report to SEBI that IAMI have voted on important decisions affecting
interests of unitholders.

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.
•
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.
•
In
the case of a fund-of-funds arrangement, including where a portfolio manager manages both the investing Fund and an affiliated underlying
fund in which the investing Fund invests or may invest, a conflict of interest may arise if the portfolio manager of the investing Fund
receives material nonpublic information about the underlying fund. For example, such a conflict may restrict the ability of the portfolio
manager to buy or sell securities of the underlying Fund, potentially for a prolonged period of time, which may adversely affect the Fund.
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.

4
Portfolio Managers may be granted an annual deferral award that vests on a pro-rata basis over a four-year period.
|
5
Invesco Senior Secured’s bonus is based on annual measures of equity return and standard tests of collateralization performance.
|
6
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.

otherwise provided, the following are certain defined terms used throughout this prospectus:

Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
Initial
Sales Charges. Each Invesco Fund (other than Invesco Conservative
Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund) is grouped into one of six categories to determine the applicable initial sales charge
for its Class A shares. The sales charge is used to compensate Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) and participating dealers
for their expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of the Invesco Funds' shares. You may also be charged a transaction or
other fee by the financial intermediary managing your account.
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 shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, are sold without an initial sales charge.

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 70 1∕2
, 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 70 1∕2
or older, and only with respect to that portion of such distributions that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant's or beneficiary's
account value in a particular Fund; (ii) in kind transfers of assets where the participant or beneficiary notifies the distributor of
the transfer no later than the time the transfer occurs; (iii) tax-free rollovers or transfers of assets to another 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 February 28, 2023, a Fund – Class A shares had a net asset value per share of $10.38. The offering price, assuming an initial
sales charge of 5.50%, therefore was $10.98.
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
not representative 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
29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund.
None.
Item
30. Indemnification.
Indemnification
provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Fifth
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 Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust effective as of September 20, 2022,
as amended (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation
of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard
of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall
be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable
law; (iii) in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his
being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because of his acts or omissions or for some other
reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives, or, in the case
of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled, out of the assets belonging to the applicable
portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such
liability in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon
request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio
(or class).
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) 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 shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or
to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected
with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security. Any liability
of Invesco to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart liability on the part of Invesco 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 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.
Item

Exhibit 99.h(4)
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 expense limitations
identified on Exhibit A (“Expense Limitations”) and the boundary expense limitations on Exhibit B (“Boundary
Limits”), Invesco agrees until at least the expiration date set forth on Exhibit A (each, an "Expiration Date")
for the Expense Limitations, and for an indefinite period until further notice to the Board of Trustees for the Boundary Limits, 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
or Boundary Limit rate, on an average of the daily net assets allocable to such class on an annualized basis1.
Expense Limitations: 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.
Boundary Limits: From
time to time, Invesco may establish amend and/or terminate Boundary Limits at any time in its sole discretion. Invesco will inform
the Board of Trustees of any such changes. These Boundary 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 Boundary Limits shall have no
effect on such Boundary Limits; the Boundary Limits 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.

of whether actual AFFE is more or less during the waiver period.

For and in consideration

amended to reflect any such agreement.
It is expressly
agreed that the obligations of the Trusts hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents
