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 1.18%,
1.93%,
1.43%,
0.93%,
0.93%
and 0.93%,
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 February
28,
2025
and June 30, 2025,
respectively. During their terms, the fee waiver agreements cannot be terminated or amended to increase the expense limits or reduce the
advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board of Trustees.
Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee
Waiver and/or Expense
Reimbursement in the
first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover. The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During
the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 196%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing mainly in a broad range of international equity securities and other types
of investments, including derivatives. Invesco Advisers, Inc.’s (Invesco or the Adviser) Global Asset Allocation (GAA) Team evaluates
market conditions regularly
to determine investments for the portfolio that the team expects to perform well based on an evaluation of the market environment. As
part of its evaluation, the GAA Team considers, among other things, certain factors such as earnings quality and profitability, price
momentum, valuation metrics, market capitalization and historical volatility. The GAA Team may also invest in the securities comprising
one or more factor indices when determining the Fund’s exposure to a particular factor.
The
Fund may invest without limit in all types of equity securities, including
common stock, depositary receipts, and other securities or instruments whose prices are linked to the value of common stock.
There
are no restrictions on where the Fund may invest geographically or
on the amount of the Fund’s assets that can be invested in foreign securities, including with respect to securities of issuers in
developing and emerging markets (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles). Under normal market conditions,
the Fund will invest in securities of issuers located in different countries throughout the world. The Fund normally invests in securities
of issuers located in at least three countries outside the United States. The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars
or local foreign currencies. The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers in a particular market capitalization range and at times
may invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or more particular market capitalization ranges. The Fund may, from time to time,
invest a substantial portion of its assets in a particular industry or sector.
1 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
The
Fund may also invest in the securities of other investment companies,
including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), subject to any limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act),
or any rules thereunder, in order to obtain exposure to the asset classes, investment strategies and types of securities it seeks to invest
in. These may include investment companies that are sponsored and/or advised by the Adviser or an affiliate, as well as non-affiliated
investment companies.
The
Fund may use leverage through the use of derivatives, borrowing and
other leveraging strategies in an attempt to enhance the Fund’s returns. Leverage occurs when the investments in derivatives create
greater economic exposure than the amount invested. Using derivatives often allows the portfolio managers to implement their views more
efficiently and to gain more exposure to an asset class than investing in more traditional assets such as stocks would allow. The Fund
may gain exposure to equity investments through listed and over-the-counter options. The Fund may also use derivatives to seek income
or capital gain, to hedge market risks or hedge against the risks of other investments, to hedge foreign currency exposure, or as a substitute
for direct investment in a particular asset class, investment strategy or security type. The Fund’s use of derivatives may involve
the purchase and sale of swaps (including equity index swaps), futures (including equity index futures), options (including writing (selling)
put and call options on equities, equity indices and ETFs), forward foreign currency contracts and other related instruments and techniques.
The Fund can take
long positions in investments that are believed to be undervalued and short positions in investments that are believed to be overvalued
or which are established for hedging purposes, including long and short positions in equities and equity-sensitive convertibles, derivatives
or other types of securities. The Fund’s use of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by the use of derivatives
are expected to be significant.
The
Fund’s overall long or short positioning can vary based on market and
economic conditions, and the Fund may take both long and short positions simultaneously. The Fund can seek to take advantage of arbitrage
opportunities in equity, debt, currency and currency prices and market volatility.
The
Fund may hold significant levels of cash and cash equivalent instruments,
including affiliated money market funds, as margin or collateral for the Fund’s obligations under derivatives transactions. The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security or other investment, or taking an off-setting long position, (1) for risk
control purposes, (2) when its income or potential for return deteriorates or (3) when it otherwise no longer meets Invesco’s investment
selection criteria.
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.
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 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
2 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
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.
Asia
Pacific Region Risk (including Japan).
The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of
the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely
adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected
by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political
and social instability and increased economic volatility.
The
Fund’s Japanese investments may be adversely affected by protectionist
trade policies, slow economic activity worldwide, dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s
other low-cost emerging economies, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as by
commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply. The Japanese economy also faces several other
concerns, including a financial system with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership
by major corporations, a changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits.
Investments
in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered
to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically
associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal
and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack
of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; lack of publicly
available information and difficulty in obtaining information necessary
for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; limited legal
remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts
and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public
health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions;
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. 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 additional tariffs,
sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars,
or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), including as a result of trade tensions between China and the United States, or a downturn
in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. In addition, 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 value of such securities held by the Fund. Further, from
time to time, certain
companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or
have dealings with, countries
subject to sanctions or embargoes
imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in
countries the
U.S.
government
identified
as
state
sponsors
of
terrorism.
One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under
U.S. law
or regulations that could negatively affect the company’s performance.
Additionally, any difficulties of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“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.
Investments
in Chinese companies may be made through a special structure known
as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is designed to provide foreign investors, such as the Fund, with exposure to Chinese
companies that operate in certain sectors in which China restricts or prohibits foreign investments. Investments in VIEs may pose additional
risks because the investment is made through an intermediary shell company that has entered into service and other contracts with the
underlying Chinese operating company in order to provide investors with exposure to the operating company, and therefore does not represent
equity ownership in the operating company. The value of the shell company is derived from its ability to consolidate the VIE into its
financials pursuant to contractual arrangements that allow the shell company to exert a degree of control over, and obtain economic benefits
arising from, the VIE without formal legal ownership. The contractual arrangements between the shell company and the operating company
may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership, and a foreign investor’s (such as the Fund’s)
rights may be limited, including by actions of the Chinese government which could determine that the underlying contractual arrangements
are invalid. While VIEs are a longstanding industry practice and are well known by Chinese officials and regulators, historically the
structure has not been formally recognized under Chinese law and it is uncertain whether Chinese officials or regulators will withdraw
their acceptance of the structure, generally, or with respect to
certain industries.
It
is also 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.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China,
such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations,
and operational, clearing and settlement risks. 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. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules could result in unexpected tax
liabilities for the Fund.
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.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse
3 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
effects
on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving its membership, structure,
procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and banking system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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.
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.
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.
Investment
Companies Risk.
Investing in other investment companies could result in the duplication of certain fees, including management and administrative fees,
and may expose the Fund to the risks of owning the underlying investments that the other investment company holds.
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.
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.
Arbitrage
Risk. Arbitrage risk is the risk that securities purchased pursuant
to a strategy intended to take advantage of a perceived relation- ship between the value of two or more securities may not perform as
expected.
Money
Market Fund Risk.
Although money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing
in money market funds. A money market fund's sponsor is not required
to reimburse the money market fund
for losses. The credit quality of a money market fund's holdings
can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund's share
price. A money market fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets
and/or significant market volatility.
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.
4 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
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.
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 Multi-Asset Growth 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. 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 predecessor fund’s and the 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 and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class R6 shares’ returns shown for the periods ending
on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the 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.

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.
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers
and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing mainly in
a broad range of international equity securities and other types of investments, including derivatives. The GAA Team evaluates market
conditions
regularly
to determine investments for the portfolio that the team expects to perform well based on an evaluation of the market environment. As
part of its evaluation, the GAA Team considers, among other things, certain factors such as earnings quality and profitability, price
momentum, valuation metrics, market capitalization and historical volatility. The GAA Team may also invest in the securities comprising
one or more factor indices when determining the Fund’s exposure to a particular factor.
The
Fund may invest without limit in all types of equity securities, including
common stock, depositary receipts, and other securities or instruments whose prices are linked to the value of common stock.
There
are no restrictions on where the Fund may invest geographically or
on the amount of the Fund’s assets that can be invested in foreign securities, including with respect to securities of issuers in
developing and emerging markets (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles). Under normal market conditions,
the Fund will invest in securities of issuers located in different countries throughout the world. The Fund normally invests in securities
of issuers located in at least three countries outside the United States. The Fund may invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars
or local foreign currencies. The Fund does not limit its investments to issuers in a particular market capitalization range and at times
may invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or more particular market capitalization ranges. The Fund may, from time to time,
invest a substantial portion of its assets in a particular industry or sector.
The
Fund may also invest in the securities of other investment companies,
including ETFs, subject to any limitations imposed by the 1940 Act or any rules thereunder, in order to obtain exposure to the asset classes,
investment strategies and types of securities it seeks to invest in. These may include investment companies that are sponsored and/or
advised by the Adviser or an affiliate, as well as non-affiliated investment companies.
The
Fund may use leverage through the use of derivatives, borrowing and
other leveraging strategies in an attempt to enhance the Fund’s returns. Leverage occurs when the investments in derivatives create
greater economic exposure than the amount invested. Using derivatives often allows the portfolio managers to implement their views more
efficiently and to gain more exposure to an asset class than investing in more traditional assets such as stocks would allow. The Fund
may gain exposure to equity investments through listed and over-the-counter options. The Fund may also use derivatives to seek income
or capital gain, to hedge market risks or hedge against the risks of other investments, to hedge foreign currency exposure, or as a substitute
for direct investment in a particular asset class, investment strategy or security type. The Fund’s use of derivatives may involve
the purchase and sale of swaps (including equity index swaps), futures (including equity index futures and commodity futures listed on
U.S. and foreign futures exchanges), options (including writing (selling) put and call options on equities, equity indices and ETFs),
forward foreign currency contracts and other related instruments and techniques.
The
Fund can take long positions in investments that are believed to
be undervalued and short positions in investments that are believed to be overvalued or which are established for hedging purposes, including
long and short positions in equities and equity-sensitive convertibles, derivatives or other types of securities. The Fund’s use
of derivatives and the leveraged investment exposure created by the use of derivatives are expected to be significant.
The
Fund’s overall long or short positioning can vary based on market and
economic conditions, and the Fund may take both long and short positions simultaneously. The Fund can seek to take advantage of arbitrage
opportunities in equity, debt, currency and currency prices and market volatility.
The
Fund may hold significant levels of cash and cash equivalent instruments,
including affiliated money market funds, as margin or collateral for the Fund’s obligations under derivatives transactions. The
larger the value of the Fund’s derivative positions, as opposed to positions held in nonderivative instruments, the more the Fund
will be required to maintain cash and cash equivalents as margin or collateral for such derivatives.
6 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security or other investment,
or taking an off-setting long position, (1) for risk control purposes, (2) when its income or potential for return deteriorates or (3)
when it otherwise no longer meets Invesco’s investment selection criteria.
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.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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
7 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
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
or deflation 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 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.
Asia
Pacific Region Risk (including Japan).
The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of
the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely
adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected
by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political
and
social
instability and increased economic volatility. In addition, the risks of expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory
taxation, and armed conflict as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/or political unrest may adversely affect the value of
the Fund’s Asia Pacific investments.
The
Fund’s Japanese investments may be adversely affected by protectionist
trade policies, slow economic activity worldwide, dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s
other low-cost emerging economies, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as by
commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply. The Japanese economy also faces several other
concerns, including a financial system with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership
by major corporations, a changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits.
Investments
in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered
to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically
associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal
and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack
of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; lack of publicly
available information and difficulty in obtaining information necessary
for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; limited legal
remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts
and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public
health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions;
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 mainland China could adversely impact the Fund’s
investments in Taiwan and Hong Kong. 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.
Investments
in Chinese companies may be made through a special structure known
as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is designed to provide foreign investors, such as the Fund, with exposure to Chinese
companies that operate in certain sectors in which China restricts or prohibits foreign investments. Investments in VIEs may pose additional
risks because the investment is made through an intermediary shell company that has entered into service and other contracts with the
underlying Chinese operating company in order to provide investors with exposure to the operating company, and
therefore does not represent equity ownership in the operating
company. As a result, such investment may limit the rights of an investor with respect to the underlying Chinese operating company. VIEs
allow foreign shareholders
to exert a degree of control and obtain economic benefits arising from the operating company without formal legal ownership. However,
the contractual arrangements between the shell company and the operating company may not be as effective in providing operational control
as direct equity ownership, and a foreign investor’s rights may be limited by, for example, actions of the Chinese government which
could determine that the underlying contractual arrangements on which control of the VIE is based are invalid. The contractual arrangement
on which the VIE structure is based would likely be subject to Chinese law and jurisdiction, which could raise questions about how recourse
is sought. Investments through VIEs may be affected by conflicts of interest and duties between the legal owners of the VIE and the stockholders
of the listed
8 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
holding company, which
could adversely impact the value of investments. Historically, VIEs have not been formally recognized under Chinese law. Recently, the
Chinese government provided new guidance to and placed restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore, 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.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China,
such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations,
and operational, 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,
sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars,
or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have
an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. The ongoing trade dispute and imposition of tariffs between China and the United States continues
to introduce uncertainty into the Chinese economy and may result in reductions 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. In addition, 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 value of such
securities held by the Fund. Further, from time to time, certain
companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the
U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more
of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the company’s performance.
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.
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.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of countries in Eastern Europe, are members
of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related to money supply and interest
rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with restrictions on inflation
rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in
Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the
default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU member country may have
significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including
EU member countries that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central
banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic
recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively impact the EU and Europe as a whole, such as
by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking additional member
states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other member states will
likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely
affect the Fund’s investments.
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
9 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
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.
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.
10 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
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.
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.
Investment
Companies Risk.
When the Fund invests in other investment companies, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the other investment
company’s operating expenses, which could result in the duplication of certain fees, including management and administrative fees.
The risk of owning an investment company generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying investments the investment company holds.
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.
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.
Arbitrage
Risk.
The Fund can invest in securities in order to take advantage of a perceived relationship between the value of two securities present.
Securities purchased or sold short pursuant to such a strategy may not perform as intended, which may result in a loss to the Fund. Additionally,
issuers of a security purchased pursuant to such a strategy are often engaged in significant corporate events, such as restructurings,
acquisitions, mergers, takeovers, tender offers or exchanges, or liquidations. Such events may not be completed as initially planned or
expected, or may fail.
Money
Market Fund Risk.
Although money market funds generally seek to preserve the value of an investment at $1.00 per share, the Fund may lose money by investing
in money market funds. A money market fund's sponsor is not required
to reimburse the money market fund
for losses. The credit quality of a money market fund's holdings
can change rapidly in certain markets, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the money market fund's share
price. A money market fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures, illiquid markets
and/or significant market volatility.
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.
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
11 Invesco
Advantage International 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.
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.
Regulation under the Commodity
Exchange Act
The
Adviser is registered as a “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules of the CFTC and
is subject to CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund. The CFTC has adopted rules regarding the disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping
requirements that apply with respect to the Fund as a result of the Adviser’s registration as a CPO. Generally, these rules allow
for substituted compliance with CFTC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements, based on the Adviser’s compliance with comparable
SEC requirements. This means that for most of the CFTC’s disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements applicable to the Adviser
as the Fund’s CPO, the Adviser’s compliance with SEC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements will be deemed to fulfill
the Adviser’s CFTC compliance obligations. However, as a result of CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund, the Fund may incur
additional compliance and other expenses. The Adviser is also registered as a “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) but, with
respect to the Fund, relies on an exemption from CTA regulation available for a CTA that also serves as the Fund’s CPO.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser did not receive any compensation from the Fund, 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.

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.
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized
12 Invesco
Advantage International Fund
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.

Advantage International 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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:

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

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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

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:

funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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.

•

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

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

notifies his or her financial advisor about such assets.

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.

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
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.

*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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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.
If you have questions about an Invesco Fund
or your account, or you wish to obtain a free copy of the Fund’s current SAI, annual or semi-annual reports or Form N-PORT, please

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 16%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities
of issuers in the Asia Pacific region (except Japanese companies),
and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund uses various criteria
to determine whether an issuer is in the Asia Pacific region, including whether (1) it is organized under the laws of a country in the
Asia Pacific region, (2) it has a principal office in a country in the Asia Pacific region, (3) it derives 50% or more of its total revenues
from business in countries in the Asia Pacific region, (4) its securities are trading principally on a security exchange, or in an over-the-counter
market, in a country in the Asia Pacific region, or (5) its “country of risk” is a country in the Asia Pacific region as determined
by a third party service provider.
The
Fund invests primarily in equity securities, including common and preferred
stock, and depositary receipts. The Fund’s common stock investments 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 invests primarily in securities of issuers that
are considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes
and may invest a significant amount of its net assets in the securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets 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.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign
currency contracts and futures contracts.
The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities
are denominated; although the Fund has not historically used these instruments. The Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure to
the broad market in connection with managing cash balances or to hedge against downside risk.
1 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund
The
portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that
they believe have a strong “EQV” profile. The portfolio managers’ EQV investment approach focuses on Earnings, demonstrated
by sustainable earnings growth; Quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and Valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices.
The
portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes
fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management. Investments for the portfolio are selected bottom-up on a security-by-security basis.
The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country trends.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security for several
reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive, (2) the original investment thesis for
the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling investment opportunity is identified.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk.
The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a
whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related
to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate
earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease
or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, 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.
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.
Asia
Pacific Region Risk (ex-Japan).
The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of
the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely
adversely impact the economic performance of other
countries
in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial
services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political and social instability and increased economic volatility.
Investments
in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered
to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically
associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal
and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack
of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; lack of publicly
available information and difficulty in obtaining information necessary
for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; limited legal
remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts
and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public
health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions;
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. 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 additional tariffs,
sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars,
or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), including as a result of trade tensions between China and the United States, or a downturn
in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. In addition, 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 value of such securities held by the Fund. Further, from
time to time, certain
companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or
have dealings with, countries
subject to sanctions or embargoes
imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in
countries the
U.S.
government
identified
as
state
sponsors
of
terrorism.
One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under
U.S. law
or regulations that could negatively affect the company’s performance.
Additionally, any difficulties of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“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.
Investments
in Chinese companies may be made through a special structure known
as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is designed to provide foreign investors, such as the Fund, with exposure to Chinese
companies that operate in certain sectors in which China restricts or prohibits foreign investments. Investments in VIEs may pose additional
risks because the investment is made through an intermediary shell company that has entered into service and other contracts with the
underlying Chinese operating company in order to provide investors with exposure to the operating company, and therefore does not represent
equity ownership in the operating company. The value of the shell company is derived from its ability to consolidate the VIE into its
financials pursuant to contractual arrangements that allow the shell company to exert a degree of control over, and obtain economic benefits
arising from, the VIE without formal legal ownership. The contractual arrangements between the shell company and the operating company
may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership, and a foreign investor’s (such as the Fund’s)
rights may be limited, including by actions of the Chinese government which could determine that the underlying contractual arrangements
are invalid. While VIEs are a longstanding industry practice and are well known by Chinese officials and regulators, historically the
2 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund
structure
has not been formally recognized under Chinese law and it is uncertain whether Chinese officials or regulators will withdraw their acceptance
of the structure, generally, or with respect to certain industries.
It
is also 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.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China,
such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations,
and operational, clearing and settlement risks. 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. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules could result in unexpected tax
liabilities for the Fund.
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
Securities Risk.
The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies,
difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a
certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally
may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting
controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies
than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its
foreign
currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the
value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies)
to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used,
are not always successful.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative
impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same
risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation
to distribute shareholder communications or pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities to the holders of
such receipts. The Fund may therefore receive less timely information or have less control than if it invested directly in the foreign
issuer.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market
conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less
experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and
less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations
and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially
less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price
when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business,
they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
3 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Derivatives
Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity,
interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets,
the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty
risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise
perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic
exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result
in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the
underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also
be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable
time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its
derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could
impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example,
derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly
during adverse market conditions.
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.

With
respect to Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement
plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in
each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million
in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
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 long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of issuers in the Asia Pacific region (except Japanese companies),
and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar
to
such securities. The Fund uses various criteria to determine whether an issuer is in the Asia Pacific region, including whether (1) it
is organized under the laws of a country in the Asia Pacific region, (2) it has a principal office in a country in the Asia Pacific region,
(3) it derives 50% or more of its total revenues from business in countries in the Asia Pacific region, (4) its securities are trading
principally on a security exchange, or in an over-the-counter market, in a country in the Asia Pacific region, or (5) its “country
of risk” is a country in the Asia Pacific region as determined by a third party service provider.
The
Fund invests primarily in equity securities, including common and preferred
stock, and depositary receipts. The Fund’s common stock investments also include China-A shares (shares of companies based in mainland
China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange). A depositary receipt is generally issued by a bank or
other financial institution and represents an ownership interest in the common stock or other equity securities of a foreign company.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers that are considered by
the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization
sizes and may invest a significant amount of its net assets in the 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 market capitalization of the largest
capitalized company 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. A company's
“market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding stock.
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
companies included in the
Russell Midcap®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets 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.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments including forward foreign currency
contracts and futures 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; although the Fund has not historically
used these instruments.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure to the broad market in connection
with managing cash balances or to hedge against downside risk.
The
portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that
they believe have a strong “EQV” profile. The portfolio managers’ EQV investment approach focuses on Earnings, demonstrated
by sustainable earnings growth; Quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and Valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices.
The
portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes
fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management.

Investments for the portfolio
are selected bottom-up on a security-by-security basis. The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country
trends.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security for several
reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive; (2) the original investment
thesis for the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling investment opportunity is identified.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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.
Asia
Pacific Region Risk (ex-Japan).
The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of
the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely
adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected
by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political
and social instability and increased economic volatility. In addition, the risks of expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory
taxation, and armed conflict as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/or political unrest may adversely affect the value of
the Fund’s Asia Pacific investments.
Investments
in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered
to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically
associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal
and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack
of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; lack of publicly
available information and difficulty in obtaining information necessary
for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; limited legal
remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts
and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public
health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions;
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 mainland China could adversely impact the Fund’s investments
in Taiwan and Hong Kong. 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.
Investments
in Chinese companies may be made through a special structure known
as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is designed to
6 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund
provide foreign investors,
such as the Fund, with exposure to Chinese companies that operate in certain sectors in which China restricts or prohibits foreign investments.
Investments in VIEs may pose additional risks because the investment is made through an intermediary shell company that has entered into
service and other contracts with the underlying Chinese operating company in order to provide investors with exposure to the operating
company, and therefore does not represent equity ownership in the operating company. As a result, such investment may limit the rights
of an investor with respect to the underlying Chinese operating company. VIEs allow foreign shareholders to exert a degree of control
and obtain economic benefits arising from the operating company without formal legal ownership. However, the contractual arrangements
between the shell company and the operating company may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership,
and a foreign investor’s rights may be limited by, for example, actions of the Chinese government which could determine that the
underlying contractual arrangements on which control of the VIE is based are invalid. The contractual arrangement on which the VIE structure
is based would likely be subject to Chinese law and jurisdiction, which could raise questions about how recourse is sought. Investments
through VIEs may be affected by conflicts of interest and duties between the legal owners of the VIE and the stockholders of the listed
holding company, which could adversely impact the value of investments. Historically, VIEs have not been formally recognized under Chinese
law. Recently, the Chinese government provided new guidance to and placed restrictions on China-based companies raising capital offshore,
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.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China,
such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations,
and operational, 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,
sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars,
or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have
an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. The ongoing trade dispute and imposition of tariffs between China and the United States continues
to introduce uncertainty into the Chinese economy and may result in reductions 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. In addition,
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 value of such securities held by the Fund. Further,
from time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or
embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors of
terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect the
company’s performance.
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.
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
or deflation 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 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.
7 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund
Emerging
market countries may have a higher degree of corruption and fraud
than developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness
and/or resources. The governments in some emerging market countries have been engaged in programs to sell all or part of their interests
in government-owned or controlled enterprises. However, in certain emerging market countries, the ability of foreign entities to participate
in privatization programs may be limited by local law. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be successful.
Other
risks of investing in emerging market securities may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information.
Foreign
Securities Risk.
The value of the Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the
issuers of the investments, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations
in those countries. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer
or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental
restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies,
including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption.
Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it
more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to
recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt.
Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments
in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular
country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged
its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign
currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies,
if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions in
those countries may have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. This risk is heightened if the Fund
focuses its investments in emerging market countries or developed countries prone to periods of instability. 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.
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.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of
8 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund
companies may change
over time as the securities market changes, and the Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations
have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies,
or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value
if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or
group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the
SEC.
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.
■
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.
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.92%

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

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.

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

12 Invesco
EQV Asia Pacific Equity 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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

Class A Shares Sold

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

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:

The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder
is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic
withdrawals with up to 10% per
year of the account value.
■
Return

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).

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Premier Portfolio
Only
accounts beneficially owned by natural persons will be permitted to retain their shares. The Fund has implemented policies and procedures
reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the Fund to natural persons, and investments in the Fund are limited to accounts
beneficially owned by natural persons. Natural persons may invest in the Fund through certain tax-advantaged savings accounts, trusts
and other retirement and investment accounts, which may include, among others: participant-directed defined contribution plans; individual
retirement accounts; simplified employee pension arrangements; simple retirement accounts; custodial accounts; deferred compensation plans
for government or tax-exempt organization employees; Archer medical savings accounts; college savings plans; health savings account plans;
ordinary trusts and estates of natural persons; or certain other retirement and investment accounts with ultimate investment authority
held by the natural person beneficial owner, notwithstanding having an institutional decision maker making day-to-day decisions (e.g.,
a plan sponsor in certain retirement arrangements or an investment adviser managing discretionary investment accounts).
Further,
financial intermediaries may only submit purchase orders if they have
implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all investors on behalf of whom they submit orders to accounts beneficially
owned by natural persons. Financial intermediaries may be required to provide a written statement or other representation that they have
in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the
Fund or the transfer
agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem
their shares.
Natural
persons may purchase shares using one of the options below. For
all classes of the Fund, other than Investor Class shares, unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent
will generally accept any purchase order placed until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed
until 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you wish to place an order between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business
day, you must place such order by telephone; or send your request by a pre-arranged Liquidity Link data transmission however, the Fund’s
transfer agent reserves the right to reject or limit the amount of orders placed during this time. For Investor Class shares of the Fund,
unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent will generally accept any purchase order placed until
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you
wish to place an order between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day, you must place such order by telephone; however,
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.

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.

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.
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.

*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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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 17%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities
of European issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund
uses various criteria to determine whether an issuer is in Europe, including whether (1) it is organized under the laws of a country in
Europe; (2) it has a principal office in a country in Europe; (3) it derives 50% or more of its total revenues from business in countries
in Europe; (4) its securities are trading principally on a security exchange, or in an over-the-counter market, in a country in Europe;
or (5) its “country of risk” is a country in Europe as determined by a third party service provider.
The
Fund invests primarily in equity securities and depositary receipts. The
principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers that are considered by
the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in foreign securities, including
up to 35% of its net assets in securities of European issuers located in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in
the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The
Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes,
and may invest a significant amount of its net assets in the securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency
contracts and futures contracts.
The
Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse
movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated; although the Fund has not historically used these instruments.
The
Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure to the broad market
in connection with managing cash balances or to hedge against downside risk.
The
portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that
they believe have a strong “EQV” profile. The portfolio managers’ EQV investment approach focuses on Earnings, demonstrated
by sustainable earnings growth; Quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and Valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices.
The
portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes
fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management. Investments for the portfolio are selected bottom-up on a
1 Invesco
EQV European Equity Fund
security-by-security
basis. The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country trends.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security for several
reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive, (2) the original investment thesis for
the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling investment opportunity is identified.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk.
The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a
whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related
to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate
earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease
or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, 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.
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.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain
relatively
undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving its membership, structure,
procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and banking system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative
impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
Depositary
Receipts Risk. Investing in depositary receipts involves the same
risks as direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts are under no obligation
to
2 Invesco
EQV European Equity Fund
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.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market
conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less
experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and
less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations
and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially
less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price
when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business,
they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
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.
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.

With
respect to Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement
plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in
each Fund in which it invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum
initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by
(i) an investment company,
as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies which own
in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco,
in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in
addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them available to retail investors.
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 long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of European issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund uses various criteria to determine whether an issuer is in Europe,
including whether (1) it is organized under the laws of a country in Europe; (2) it has a principal office in a country in Europe; (3)
it derives 50% or more of its total revenues from business in countries in Europe; (4) its securities are trading principally on a security
exchange, or in an over-the-counter market, in a country in Europe; or (5) its “country of risk” is a country in Europe as
determined by a third party service provider.
The
Fund invests primarily in equity securities and depositary receipts. The
principal type of equity security in which the Fund invests is common stock. A depositary receipt is generally issued by a bank or other
financial institution and represents an ownership interest in the common stock or other equity securities of a foreign company.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers that are considered by
the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in foreign securities, including
up to 35% of its net assets in securities of European issuers located in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are generally in
the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The
Fund may invest in the securities of issuers of all capitalization sizes,
and may invest a significant amount of its net assets in the securities of small- and mid-capitalization issuers.
4 Invesco
EQV European Equity Fund
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 market capitalization of the largest
capitalized company 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. A company’s
“market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding stock.
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
companies included in the
Russell Midcap®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency
contracts and futures 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; although the Fund has not historically
used these instruments.
A
futures contract is a standardized agreement between two parties to buy
or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract
tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset. Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both
the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures
contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying
a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure to the broad market in connection
with managing cash balances or to hedge against downside risk.
The
portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that
they believe have a strong “EQV” profile. The portfolio managers’ EQV investment approach focuses on Earnings, demonstrated
by sustainable earnings growth; Quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and Valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices.
The
portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes
fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management. Investments for the portfolio are selected bottom-up on a security-by-security basis.
The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country trends.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security for several
reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive; (2) the original investment thesis for
the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling investment opportunity is identified.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of
5 Invesco
EQV European Equity Fund
countries
in Eastern Europe, are members of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related
to money supply and interest rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with
restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly
affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange
rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU
member country may have significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including
EU member countries that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central
banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic
recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively impact the EU and Europe as a whole, such as
by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking additional member
states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other member states will
likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely
affect the Fund’s investments.
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
or deflation 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
6 Invesco
EQV European Equity Fund
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.
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.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer
financial resources than
larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. They
may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements.
Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities
exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on
national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might
be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition, investors might seek
to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is sometimes referred
to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small and mid-cap companies
typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they
are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any
gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the Fund is not required
to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies,
or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value
if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or
group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the
SEC.
Derivatives
Risk.
A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity,
interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets,
the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, which are described below.
■
Counterparty
Risk.
Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange (referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial
contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty
to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset, unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior
to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability
to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a
counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty
could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the
relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative
instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
■
Leverage
Risk.
Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which
creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a
loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying
7 Invesco
EQV European Equity Fund
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.
■
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.
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.
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.92%
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

EQV European Equity Fund
the Fund is available
in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
■
Borge
Endresen, CFA
(lead manager with respect to the Fund’s small-
and mid-cap investments), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible
for the Fund since 2002
and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 1999.
■
Mark
McDonnell, CFA (lead manager with respect to the Fund’s large-cap
investments), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2022
and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2003.
■
Richard
Nield, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2003 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2000.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all aspects of
the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction techniques,
portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which a lead or
co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I
Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section
of the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the
Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

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.

11 Invesco
EQV European Equity 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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

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:

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers
If
the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder
is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic
withdrawals with up to 10% per
year of the account value.
■
Return
of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement
Account (IRA).

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).

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

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
■

Further,
financial intermediaries may only submit purchase orders if they have
implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all investors on behalf of whom they submit orders to accounts beneficially
owned by natural persons. Financial intermediaries may be required to provide a written statement or other representation that they have
in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the
Fund or the transfer
agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem
their shares.
Natural
persons may purchase shares using one of the options below. For

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.

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.
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.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by

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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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”):
|
|
Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares |

* 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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.

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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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 32%
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 borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities,
and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund invests primarily in
equity securities (including depositary receipts) of foreign issuers. The principal types of equity securities in which the Fund invests
are common and preferred stock. The Fund’s common stock investments also include China A-shares (shares of companies based in mainland
China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange).
Under
normal circumstances, the Fund will provide exposure to investments
that are economically tied to at least three different countries outside of the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 1.25 times the amount
of the exposure to emerging markets countries in the MSCI ACWI ex USA®
Index. Emerging market countries are those that are generally in
the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers that are considered by
the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund invests primarily in the securities of large-capitalization issuers
and may invest a significant amount of its net assets in the securities of mid-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency
contracts and futures contracts.
The
Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse
movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated; although the Fund has not historically used these instruments.
The
Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure to the broad market
in connection with managing cash balances or to hedge against downside risk.
The
portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that
they believe have a strong “EQV” profile. The portfolio managers’ EQV investment approach focuses on Earnings, demonstrated
by sustainable earnings growth; Quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and Valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices.
The
portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes
fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management. Investments for the portfolio are selected bottom-up on a security-by-security basis.
The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country trends.

EQV International Equity Fund
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security for several
reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive, (2) the original investment
thesis for the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling 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.
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.
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.
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.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain
relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving
its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United
Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and banking system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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
2 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
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.
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.
Asia
Pacific Region Risk (including Japan).
The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of
the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely
adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected
by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political
and social instability and increased economic volatility.
The
Fund’s Japanese investments may be adversely affected by protectionist
trade policies, slow economic activity worldwide, dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s
other low-cost emerging economies, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as by
commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply. The Japanese economy also faces several other
concerns, including a financial system with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership
by major corporations, a changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits.
Investments
in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered
to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically
associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations, such as greater government control over the economy; political, legal
and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation of property; lack
of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; lack of publicly
available information and difficulty in obtaining information necessary
for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; limited legal
remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts
and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public
health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions;
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. 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 additional tariffs,
sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars,
or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), including as a result of trade tensions between China and the United States, or a downturn
in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. In addition, 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 value of such securities held by the Fund. Further, from
time to time, certain
companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or
have dealings with, countries
subject to sanctions or embargoes
imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in
countries the
U.S.
government
identified
as
state
sponsors
of
terrorism.
One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under
U.S. law
or regulations that could negatively affect the company’s performance.
Additionally, any difficulties of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“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.
Investments
in Chinese companies may be made through a special structure known
as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is designed to provide foreign investors, such as the Fund, with exposure to Chinese
companies that operate in certain sectors in which China restricts or prohibits foreign investments. Investments in VIEs may pose additional
risks because the investment is made through an intermediary shell company that has entered into service and other contracts with the
underlying Chinese operating company in order to provide investors with exposure to the operating company, and therefore does not represent
equity ownership in the operating company. The value of the shell company is derived from its ability to consolidate the VIE into its
financials pursuant to contractual arrangements that allow the shell company to exert a degree of control over, and obtain economic benefits
arising from, the VIE without formal legal ownership. The contractual arrangements between the shell company and the operating company
may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership, and a foreign investor’s (such as the Fund’s)
rights may be limited, including by actions of the Chinese government which could determine that the underlying contractual arrangements
are invalid. While VIEs are a longstanding industry practice and are well known by Chinese officials and regulators, historically the
structure has not been formally recognized under Chinese law and it is uncertain whether Chinese officials or regulators will withdraw
their acceptance of the structure, generally, or with respect to
certain industries.
It
is also 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.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China,
such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations,
and operational, clearing and settlement risks. 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. Uncertainties in Chinese tax rules could result in unexpected tax
liabilities for the Fund.
3 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk.
Mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions and may have more limited product lines and markets,
less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile
and less liquid than those of more established companies, and their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities
market.
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.
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations Risk.
The ESG considerations that may be assessed as part of the investment process to implement the Fund’s investment strategy in pursuit
of its investment objective may vary across types of eligible investments and issuers, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated
for every investment, and not every investment or issuer may be evaluated for ESG considerations. The Fund’s portfolio will not
be solely based on ESG considerations, and therefore the issuers in which the Fund invests may not be considered ESG-focused issuers.
The incorporation of ESG factors may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers or industries and may not work as intended. The
Fund may underperform other funds that do not assess an issuer’s ESG factors or that use a different methodology to identify and/or
incorporate ESG factors. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, and
may vary across providers and issuers as ESG is not a uniformly defined characteristic. There is no guarantee that the evaluation of ESG
considerations will be additive to the Fund’s performance.
Derivatives
Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity,
interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets,
the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty
risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise
perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic
exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result
in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the
underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also
be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable
time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its
derivative positions.
Derivatives
may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability
to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging
or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market
conditions.
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.

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.
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 long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets,
plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to such securities. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities (including depositary receipts) of foreign issuers. The principal
types of equity securities in which the Fund invests are common and preferred stock. The Fund’s common stock investments also include
China A-shares (shares of companies based in mainland China that trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange).
A depositary receipt is generally issued by a bank or financial institution and represents an ownership interest in the common stock or
other equity securities of a foreign company.
Under
normal circumstances, the Fund will provide exposure to investments
that are economically tied to at least three different countries outside of the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 1.25 times the amount
of the exposure to emerging markets countries in the MSCI ACWI ex USA®
Index. Emerging markets countries are those countries that are
generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles.
The
Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers that are considered by
the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The
Fund invests primarily in the securities of large-capitalization issuers
and may invest a significant amount of its net assets in the securities of mid-capitalization issuers.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a large-capitalization issuer if it has a
market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of market
capitalizations of the largest and smallest capitalized
companies included in the
Russell 1000®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. A company's
“market capitalization” is the value of its outstanding stock.
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
companies included in the
Russell Midcap®
Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency
contracts and futures 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; although the Fund has not historically
used these instruments.
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
5 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
equally obligated to
complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting
contract, physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
The Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure to the broad market in connection with managing cash balances or to hedge against
downside risk.
The
portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that
they believe have a strong “EQV” profile. The portfolio managers’ EQV investment approach focuses on Earnings, demonstrated
by sustainable earnings growth; Quality, demonstrated by efficient capital allocation; and Valuation, demonstrated by attractive prices.
The
portfolio managers employ a disciplined investment strategy that emphasizes
fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative
analysis, portfolio construction and risk management. Investments for the portfolio are selected bottom-up on a security-by-security basis.
The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country trends.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers may consider selling a security for several
reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive, (2) the original investment
thesis for the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling 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 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.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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.
6 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
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.
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.
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.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of countries in Eastern Europe, are members
of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related to money supply and interest
rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with restrictions on inflation
rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in
Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the
default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU member country may have
significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have
adversely
affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including EU member countries
that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central banks, and others,
including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result
in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively impact the EU and Europe as a whole, such as
by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking additional member
states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other member states will
likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely
affect the Fund’s investments.
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
or deflation 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 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
7 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
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.
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.
Asia
Pacific Region Risk (including Japan).
The level of development of the economies of countries in the Asia Pacific region varies greatly. Furthermore, since the economies of
the countries in the region are largely intertwined, if an economic recession is experienced by any of these countries, it will likely
adversely impact the economic performance of other countries in the region. Certain economies in the region may be adversely affected
by increased competition, high inflation rates, undeveloped financial services sectors, currency fluctuations or restrictions, political
and social instability and increased economic volatility. In addition, the risks of expropriation and/or nationalization of assets, confiscatory
taxation, and armed conflict as a result of religious, ethnic, socio-economic and/or political unrest may adversely affect the value of
the Fund’s Asia Pacific investments.
The
Fund’s Japanese investments may be adversely affected by protectionist
trade policies, slow economic activity worldwide, dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s
other low-cost emerging economies, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as by
commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply. The Japanese economy also faces several other
concerns, including a financial system with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership
by major corporations, a changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits.
Investments
in companies located or operating in Greater China (normally considered
to be the geographical area that includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) involve risks and considerations not typically
associated with investments in the U.S. and other Western nations,
such
as greater government control over the economy; political, legal and regulatory uncertainty; nationalization, expropriation, or confiscation
of property; lack of willingness or ability of the Chinese government
to support the economies and markets of the Greater China region; lack of publicly available information and difficulty
in obtaining information necessary for investigations into and/or litigation against Chinese companies, as well as in obtaining and/or
enforcing judgments; limited legal remedies for shareholders; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts
and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public
health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions;
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 mainland China could adversely impact the Fund’s investments
in Taiwan and Hong Kong. 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.
Investments
in Chinese companies may be made through a special structure known
as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is designed to provide foreign investors, such as the Fund, with exposure to Chinese
companies that operate in certain sectors in which China restricts or prohibits foreign investments. Investments in VIEs may pose additional
risks because the investment is made through an intermediary shell company that has entered into service and other contracts with the
underlying Chinese operating company in order to provide investors with exposure to the operating company, and therefore does not represent
equity ownership in the operating company. As a result, such investment may limit the rights of an investor with respect to the underlying
Chinese operating company. VIEs allow foreign shareholders to exert a degree of control and obtain economic benefits arising from the
operating company without formal legal ownership. However, the contractual arrangements between the shell company and the operating company
may not be as effective in providing operational control as direct equity ownership, and a foreign investor’s rights may be limited
by, for example, actions of the Chinese government which could determine that the underlying contractual arrangements on which control
of the VIE is based are invalid. The contractual arrangement on which the VIE structure is based would likely be subject to Chinese law
and jurisdiction, which could raise questions about how recourse is sought. Investments through VIEs may be affected by conflicts of interest
and duties between the legal owners of the VIE and the stockholders of the listed holding company, which could adversely impact the value
of investments. Historically, VIEs have not been formally
recognized under Chinese law. Recently, the Chinese government provided new guidance to and placed restrictions on China-based companies
raising capital offshore, 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.
Certain
securities issued by companies located or operating in Greater China,
such as China A-shares, are subject to trading restrictions and suspensions, quota limitations and sudden changes in those limitations,
and operational, 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
8 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
growth.
As a result, a reduction in spending on Chinese products and services, the institution of tariffs,
sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars,
or other trade barriers (or the threat thereof), or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have
an adverse impact on the Chinese economy. The ongoing trade dispute and imposition of tariffs between China and the United States continues
to introduce uncertainty into the Chinese economy and may result in reductions 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. In addition,
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 value of such securities held by the Fund.
Further, from time to time, certain companies in which the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions
or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified as state sponsors
of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S. law or regulations that could negatively affect
the company’s performance.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger,
more established companies. Securities of mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing
market conditions and
may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These
companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns
that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market.
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.
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.
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.
9 Invesco
EQV International Equity Fund
■
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.
■
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.
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.
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

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

EQV International Equity 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).

EQV International Equity 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
EQV International Equity 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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:

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

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

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

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder
is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic
withdrawals with up to 10% per
year of the account value.
■
Return

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

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Invesco Premier Portfolio
Only
accounts beneficially owned by natural persons will be permitted to retain their shares. The Fund has implemented policies and procedures
reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the Fund to natural persons, and investments in the Fund are limited to accounts
beneficially owned by natural persons. Natural persons may invest in the Fund through certain tax-advantaged savings accounts, trusts
and other retirement and investment accounts, which may include, among others: participant-directed defined contribution plans; individual

for government or tax-exempt organization employees; Archer medical savings accounts; college savings plans; health savings account plans;
ordinary trusts and estates of natural persons; or certain other retirement and investment accounts with ultimate investment authority
held by the natural person beneficial owner, notwithstanding having an institutional decision maker making day-to-day decisions (e.g.,
a plan sponsor in certain retirement arrangements or an investment adviser managing discretionary investment accounts).
Further,
financial intermediaries may only submit purchase orders if they have
implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all investors on behalf of whom they submit orders to accounts beneficially
owned by natural persons. Financial intermediaries may be required to provide a written statement or other representation that they have
in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the
Fund or the transfer
agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem
their shares.
Natural
persons may purchase shares using one of the options below. For
all classes of the Fund, other than Investor Class shares, unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent
will generally accept any purchase order placed until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed

4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you
wish to place an order between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day, you must place such order by telephone; however,
the Fund’s transfer agent reserves the right to reject or limit the amount of orders placed during this time. If the Fund closes

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

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.
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.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by

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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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 9%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities in any country,
including countries with developed or emerging markets. Typically, the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in issuers
in a number of different foreign countries. The Fund does not limit its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range
or region. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will typically hold between 35 and 55 stocks. The Fund may purchase American Depositary
Shares (ADS) as part of American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuances, which are negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. bank representing
a specified number of shares in a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.
In
selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio manager
looks primarily for companies they believe are undervalued (i.e.,
there is a substantial difference between the current market price of the company and what the portfolio manager
believes the company to be worth). A security may be undervalued
because the market is not fully pricing an issuer’s current intrinsic value, the market does not properly assess the company’s
assets, the market does not yet recognize its future potential, or the issuer may be temporarily out of favor. The Fund seeks to realize
gains in the prices of those securities if and when other investors recognize their real or prospective worth. While the Fund primarily
invests in stocks of companies the portfolio manager has
determined to be “undervalued,” over time this may result in the Fund’s portfolio having exposure to stocks with the
characteristics of both “value” and “growth” stocks. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices
are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market.
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,
1 Invesco
Global Focus Fund
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.
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.
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.
Foreign
Securities Risk.
The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies,
difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a
certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally
may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting
controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies
than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure,
foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities
denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value.
Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative
impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
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.
Value
Investing Risk. Value investing entails the risk that if the market
does not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach
could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause a fund to underperform funds
that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when
value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of value companies may underperform the securities of growth
companies or the overall stock market.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Issuer
Focus Risk. Although the Fund is classified as a diversified fund,
it may focus its investments in a relatively small number of issuers. The greater the Fund's exposure to any single investment or issuer,
the greater the losses the Fund may experience upon any single economic, market, business, political, regulatory, or other occurrence.
As a result, there may be more fluctuation in the price of the Fund's shares.
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,
2 Invesco
Global Focus Fund
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.
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
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 Focus Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into
the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization,
the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year
to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad
measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class R6 shares’ returns shown for periods ending on
or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the 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.

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
3 Invesco
Global Focus Fund
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.
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers
and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies.
The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities in any country, including countries with developed or emerging markets. Typically,
the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in issuers in a number of different foreign countries. The Fund does not limit
its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range or region. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will typically hold
between 35 and 55 stocks.
In
selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio manager
looks primarily for companies they believe are undervalued (i.e.,
there is a substantial difference between the current market price of the company and what the portfolio manager
believes the company to be worth). A security may be undervalued
because the market is not fully pricing an issuer’s current intrinsic value, the market does not properly assess the company’s
assets, the market does not yet recognize its future potential, or the issuer may be temporarily out of favor. The Fund seeks to realize
gains in the prices of those securities if and when other investors recognize their real or prospective worth. While the Fund primarily
invests in stocks of companies the portfolio manager has
determined to be “undervalued,” over time this may result in the Fund’s portfolio having exposure to stocks with the
characteristics of both “value” and “growth” stocks. Growth companies are
companies whose earnings
and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market.
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 Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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
4 Invesco
Global Focus Fund
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.
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.
Foreign
Securities Risk.
The value of the Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the
issuers of the investments, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations
in those countries. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer
or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental
restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies,
including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption.
Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it
more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to
recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt.
Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments
in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular
country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged
its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign
currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies,
if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions in
those countries may have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. This risk is heightened if the Fund
focuses its
investments in emerging
market countries or developed countries prone to periods of instability.
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
or deflation 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 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.
5 Invesco
Global Focus Fund
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.
Value
Investing Risk. Value investing entails the risk that if the market
does not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as anticipated. A value investing
approach could also lead to acquiring fewer securities that might experience rapid price increases during times of market advances. This
could cause the investments to underperform strategies that seek capital appreciation by employing only a growth or other non-value approach.
Value investing has also gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when value
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of value companies may underperform the securities of growth companies
or the overall stock market.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Issuer
Focus Risk. Although the Fund is classified as a diversified fund,
it may focus its investments in a relatively small number of issuers. The greater the Fund's exposure to any single investment or issuer,
the greater the losses the Fund may experience upon any single economic, market, business, political, regulatory, or other occurrence.
As a result, there may be more fluctuation in the price of the Fund's shares.
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.
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.
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.78%
of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by
6 Invesco
Global Focus Fund
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 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.
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments,
the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
7 Invesco
Global Focus 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.

9 Invesco
Global Focus 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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:

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

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

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic

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

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

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

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:

transfer agent reserves the right to reject or limit the amount of orders placed during this time. For Investor Class shares of the Fund,
unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent will generally accept any purchase order placed until
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you
wish to place an order between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day, you must place such order by telephone; however,
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
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

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.
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.

*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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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 7%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests mainly in common stock of U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities and can invest
in any country, including countries with developing or emerging markets. However, the Fund currently emphasizes its investments in developed
markets such as the United States and
Western European countries. The Fund does not limit its investments
to companies in a particular capitalization range, but primarily invests in mid- and large-cap companies.
The
Fund normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may
be the United States). Typically, the Fund invests in a number of different countries. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments
in any set percentages in any particular countries.
In
addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in preferred stocks. The
Fund may purchase American Depositary Shares (ADS) as part of American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuances, which are negotiable certificates
issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares in a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.
The
portfolio manager primarily looks for quality companies, regardless of
domicile, that have sustainable growth. This investment approach combines a thematic approach to idea generation with bottom-up, fundamental
company analysis. The portfolio manager seeks to identify secular changes in the world and looks for pockets of durable change that he
believes will drive global growth for the next decade. These large scale structural themes are referred to collectively as MANTRA®:
Mass Affluence, New Technology, Restructuring, and Aging. The portfolio manager does not target a fixed allocation with regard to any
particular theme, and may choose to focus on various sub-themes within each theme. Within each sub-theme, the portfolio manager employs
fundamental company analysis to select investments for the Fund’s portfolio. The economic characteristics sought include a combination
of high return on invested capital, good cashflow characteristics, high barriers to entry, dominant market share, a strong competitive
position, talented management, and balance sheet strength that the portfolio manager believes will enable the company to fund its own
growth. These criteria may vary. The portfolio manager also considers how industry dynamics, market trends and general economic conditions
may affect a company’s earnings outlook.
The
portfolio manager has a long-term investment horizon of typically three
to five years. The portfolio manager also has a contrarian buy discipline; he buys high quality companies that fit the investment criteria
when he believes valuations
underestimate long-term earnings potential. For example, a company’s stock price may dislocate from its fundamental outlook due
to a short-term earnings glitch or negative, short-term market sentiment, which can give rise to an investment opportunity. The portfolio
manager monitors individual issuers for changes in earnings potential or
other effects of changing
market conditions that may trigger a decision to sell a security, but do not require a decision to do so.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk.
The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a
whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related
to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate
earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease
or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, 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.
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 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.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain
relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving
its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United
Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and banking system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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.
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.
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.
Issuer
Focus Risk. Although the Fund is classified as a diversified fund,
it may focus its investments in a relatively small number of issuers.
The
greater the Fund's exposure to any single investment or issuer, the greater the losses the Fund may experience upon any single economic,
market, business, political, regulatory, or other occurrence. As a result, there may be more fluctuation in the price of the Fund's shares.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market
conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less
experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and
less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations
and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially
less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price
when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business,
they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
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.
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.
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 Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor Fund into the Fund,
which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the
Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year to
year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad
measure of market performance and an additional
index
with characteristics relevant to the Fund.The Fund’s
(and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform
in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class R6 shares’ returns shown for the periods ending
on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the 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.

Performance shown prior to the inception
date is that of the predecessor fund's Class A shares at net asset value and includes the 12b-1 fees applicable to that class. Although
invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R5 shares' returns of the Fund will be different from Class A shares' returns of the
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 A shares only and after-tax returns for other classes will vary.

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.
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers
and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests mainly in common stock of U.S. and foreign companies.
The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities and can invest in any country, including countries with developing or emerging
markets. However, the Fund currently emphasizes its investments in developed markets such as the United States
and Western
European countries. The Fund does not limit its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range, but primarily invests in
mid- and large-cap companies.
The
Fund normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may
be the United States). Typically, the Fund invests in a number of different countries. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments
in any set percentages in any particular countries.
In
addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in preferred stocks. The
Fund may purchase American Depositary Shares (ADS) as part of American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuances, which are negotiable certificates
issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares in a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange. ADS and ADRs are subject
to some of the special considerations and risks that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.
The
portfolio manager primarily looks for quality companies, regardless of
domicile, that have sustainable growth. This investment approach combines a thematic approach to idea generation with bottom-up, fundamental
company analysis. The portfolio manager seeks to identify secular changes in the world and looks for pockets of durable change that he
believes will drive global growth for the next decade. These large scale
structural themes are
referred to collectively as MANTRA®:
Mass Affluence, New Technology, Restructuring, and Aging. The portfolio manager does not target a fixed allocation with regard to any
particular theme, and may choose to focus on various sub-themes within each theme. Within each sub-theme, the portfolio manager employs
fundamental company analysis to select investments for the Fund’s portfolio. The economic characteristics sought include a combination
of high return on invested capital, good cashflow characteristics, high barriers to entry, dominant market share, a strong competitive
position, talented management, and balance sheet strength that the portfolio manager believes will enable the company to fund its own
growth. These criteria may vary. The portfolio manager also considers how industry dynamics, market trends and general economic conditions
may affect a company’s earnings outlook.
The
portfolio manager has a long-term investment horizon of typically three
to five years. The portfolio manager also has a contrarian buy discipline; he buys high quality companies that fit the investment criteria
when he believes valuations
underestimate long-term earnings potential. For example, a company’s stock price may dislocate from its fundamental outlook due
to a short-term earnings glitch or negative, short-term market sentiment, which can give rise to an investment opportunity. The portfolio
manager monitors individual issuers for changes in earnings potential or other effects of changing market conditions that may trigger
a decision to sell a security, but do not require a decision to do so.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments. 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.
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 Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of countries in Eastern Europe, are members
of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related to money supply and interest
rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with restrictions on inflation
rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in
Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the
default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU member country may have
significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including
EU member countries that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central
banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic
recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively impact the EU and Europe as a whole, such as
by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking additional member
states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other member states will
likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely
affect the Fund’s investments.
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
or deflation 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.
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.
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.
Issuer
Focus Risk. Although the Fund is classified as a diversified fund,
it may focus its investments in a relatively small number of issuers. The greater the Fund's exposure to any single investment or issuer,
the greater the losses the Fund may experience upon any single economic, market, business, political, regulatory, or other occurrence.
As a result, there may be more fluctuation in the price of the Fund's shares.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject
to wider price fluctuations
and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition, investors
might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is sometimes
referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small and mid-cap
companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly
if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company,
if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the Fund is
not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.65%
of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall
be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
The
following individual is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
■
John
Delano, CFA, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2019. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Mr. Delano managed the predecessor fund since 2017 and was associated
with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm, since 2007.
More
information on the portfolio manager may be found at www.invesco.com/us.
The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio manager's
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments,
the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
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). 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.

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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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

Class A Shares Sold

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

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:

The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder
is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic
withdrawals with up to 10% per
year of the account value.
■
Return

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).

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Premier Portfolio
Only
accounts beneficially owned by natural persons will be permitted to retain their shares. The Fund has implemented policies and procedures
reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the Fund to natural persons, and investments in the Fund are limited to accounts
beneficially owned by natural persons. Natural persons may invest in the Fund through certain tax-advantaged savings accounts, trusts
and other retirement and investment accounts, which may include, among others: participant-directed defined contribution plans; individual
retirement accounts; simplified employee pension arrangements; simple retirement accounts; custodial accounts; deferred compensation plans
for government or tax-exempt organization employees; Archer medical savings accounts; college savings plans; health savings account plans;
ordinary trusts and estates of natural persons; or certain other retirement and investment accounts with ultimate investment authority
held by the natural person beneficial owner, notwithstanding having an institutional decision maker making day-to-day decisions (e.g.,
a plan sponsor in certain retirement arrangements or an investment adviser managing discretionary investment accounts).
Further,
financial intermediaries may only submit purchase orders if they have
implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all investors on behalf of whom they submit orders to accounts beneficially
owned by natural persons. Financial intermediaries may be required to provide a written statement or other representation that they have
in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the
Fund or the transfer
agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem
their shares.
Natural
persons may purchase shares using one of the options below. For
all classes of the Fund, other than Investor Class shares, unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent
will generally accept any purchase order placed until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed
until 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you wish to place an order between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business
day, you must place such order by telephone; or send your request by a pre-arranged Liquidity Link data transmission however, the Fund’s
transfer agent reserves the right to reject or limit the amount of orders placed during this time. For Investor Class shares of the Fund,
unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent will generally accept any purchase order placed until
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you
wish to place an order between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day, you must place such order by telephone; however,
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.

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.

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.
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.

*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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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 29%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests mainly in equity securities of issuers in the U.S. and foreign countries. In
addition to common stocks, the Fund
can invest in other equity or
“equity equivalents”
securities such as
preferred stocks,
convertible
securities, rights
or warrants. The Fund may
also invest in foreign securities that are represented in the United States securities markets by American Depository Receipts
(ADRs)
or similar depository arrangements.
The
Fund typically
invests in a number of different countries and can invest in any
country, including countries with developing or emerging markets. The Fund normally will invest in at least four countries, including
the United States. The Fund is not required to allocate any set
percentage of its assets to any particular country or allocate any set percentage to seek capital appreciation or income. The Fund does
not limit its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range, but currently invests a substantial portion of its assets
in small- and mid-cap
companies.
The
Fund considers small- and mid-cap companies to be those that have
a market capitalization,
at the
time
of purchase, within the range of market capitalizations of the
largest and smallest capitalized companies included in the MSCI ACWI SMID Cap 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 capitalization range of the index is
subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in its composition. The range of the index generally widens over time
and is reconstituted periodically to preserve its market cap characteristics.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments. 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.
1 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
The
Fund’s portfolio managers evaluate investment opportunities using a
bottom-up investment approach. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements, management record
and structure, operations, product development and industry competitive position. In addition, the portfolio manager may also look for
companies with conservatively-capitalized balance sheets, high and consistent internal rates of return, and a favorable market position
within healthy and growing industries. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.
The
portfolio managers consider
the effect of worldwide trends
on the growth
of particular business sectors and looks for companies that
may benefit from those trends.
The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers for changes in the
factors above,
which may trigger a decision to sell a security.
Although
the Fund emphasizes investments in equities, it may also invest
in debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies and foreign governments or their agencies. The portfolio manager’s investment
process does not typically include debt securities in its universe of investment opportunities.
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.
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 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.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain
relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving
its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United
Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and
2 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
banking
system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market
conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less
experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and
less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations
and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially
less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price
when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business,
they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
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 credit
analysis applied to the Fund’s debt
securities 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.
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
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 Opportunities Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor Fund
into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization,
the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year
to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad
measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics
relevant to the Fund.The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class R6 shares’ returns shown for the periods ending
on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those of the 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.

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.
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers
and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests mainly in equity securities of issuers in the U.S. and foreign
countries. In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in
other equity or “equity equivalents” securities such as preferred stocks, convertible securities, rights or warrants. The
Fund may also invest in foreign securities that are represented in the United States securities markets by American Depository Receipts
(ADRs) or similar depository arrangements.
The
Fund typically invests in a number of different countries and can invest
in any country, including
countries with developing or emerging markets. The Fund normally will invest in at least four countries, including the United States.
The Fund is not required to allocate any set percentage of its assets to any particular country or allocate any set percentage to seek
capital appreciation or income. The Fund does not limit its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range, but currently
invests a substantial portion of its assets in small-
and mid-cap
companies. The
Fund considers small-
and mid-cap companies to be those that have a market capitalization,
at the time of purchase, within the range of market capitalizations
of the largest and smallest capitalized
companies included in
the MSCI ACWI SMID Cap 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
capitalization range of the
index is subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in its composition.
The range of the index
4 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
generally
widens over time and is reconstituted periodically to preserve its market cap characteristics.
The
Fund can invest in derivative instruments.
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.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers evaluate investment opportunities using a bottom-up
investment approach.
This approach includes
fundamental analysis of a company’s financial statements,
management record and structure, operations, product development and industry competitive position. In addition, the portfolio manager
may also look for companies with conservatively-capitalized
balance sheets, high
and consistent internal rates of return, and
a favorable market
position within healthy and growing industries.
These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over
time.
The
portfolio managers consider the effect of worldwide trends on the
growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends.
The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers for changes in the
factors above,
which may trigger a decision to sell a security.
Although
the Fund emphasizes investments in equities, it may also invest
in debt securities
issued by U.S.
and foreign companies and foreign governments or their agencies.
The Fund may invest up to 25%
of its assets
in “below-investment-grade”
bonds,
commonly known as
“junk bonds,
however,
the portfolio manager's investment process does not typically include
debt securities in its universe of investment opportunities.
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.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial
markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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
5 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
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
or deflation 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.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of countries in Eastern Europe, are members
of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related to money supply and interest
rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with restrictions on inflation
rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in
Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the
default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU member country may have
significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including
EU member countries that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central
banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic
recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively impact the EU and Europe as a whole, such as
by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking additional member
states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other member states will
likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely
affect the Fund’s investments.
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
6 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
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.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It
may take a substantial
period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of
companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose
market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
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.
Preferred
Securities Risk.
Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. Preferred stock has a
set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in
a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also may be subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital
structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment than these more senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred
securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s
financial condition or prospects. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks, and generally
offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Rights
and Warrants Risk.
Rights and warrants may be purchased directly or acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities
at a specific price during a specific period of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to, and is generally more
volatile than, the price of the underlying security. Warrants may be significantly less valuable or worthless on their expiration date
and may also be postponed or terminated early, resulting in a partial or total loss. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have
a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no
dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. Warrants and rights are highly volatile and, therefore, more susceptible
to sharp declines in value than the underlying security might be. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be
difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price.
Convertible
Securities Risk.
The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the
value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be
able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or
the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Convertible securities can be converted into or exchanged for a
set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible
debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed.
Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity equivalents” because of the feature that makes them convertible
into common stock. Since a convertible security derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a
convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In addition,
certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain
triggering events. These convertible securities are subject to an increased risk of loss and are generally subordinate in rank to other
debt obligations of the issuer. Convertible securities may be rated below investment grade and therefore
7 Invesco

considered to have more
speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or decline in market value than investment grade 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.
■
Other
Risks.
Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may be harder to value and may also be less tax efficientas 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.
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 credit analysis applied to the Fund’s debt securities 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.
Credit
Quality Risk. 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.
8 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
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.
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.
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.
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.68%
of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall
be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
■
David
Nadel (lead
manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2023
and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2019. Prior to joining
Invesco, Mr. Nadel
was employed by Royce & Associates
from 2006 to 2019, where
he served as Principal, Director
of International Research and Portfolio Manager.
■
Maire
Lane, PhD, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2020 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its
9 Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund
affiliates
since 2019. From 2017 to 2019, Ms. Lane was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm. From 2008 to 2017, she served
as a senior analyst at Wilson Capital Management, LLC.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all aspects of
the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction techniques,
portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which a lead or
co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers may be found at www.invesco.com/us.

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

Global Opportunities 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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

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:

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers
If
the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder
is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic
withdrawals with up to 10% per
year of the account value.
■
Return
of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement
Account (IRA).
■
Shares
redeemed
as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement
accounts if the redemption is taken in or after the year the shareholder
reaches qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations.
■

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).

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
■

implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all investors on behalf of whom they submit orders to accounts beneficially
owned by natural persons. Financial intermediaries may be required to provide a written statement or other representation that they have
in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the
Fund or the transfer
agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem
their shares.

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.

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.
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.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by

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)

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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information may
be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about the
Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders
contain additional information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market conditions
and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also files its
complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on
Form N-PORT.

Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms
of compensation that investors may pay on transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has
a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions,
your costs would be:
You
would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
Portfolio
Turnover. The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher
portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.
These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During
the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 26%
of the average value of its portfolio.

Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests mainly in common stock of small- and mid-cap companies that are domiciled, or have their primary operations, outside the
United States.
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small- and mid-cap companies, and in derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund considers small- and mid-cap companies to be those having a market
capitalization in the range of the MSCI ACWI ex USA SMID Cap Index. The capitalization range of the index is subject to change at any
time due to market activity or changes in its composition. The range of the index generally widens over time and is reconstituted periodically
to preserve its market cap characteristics.
The
Fund measures a company’s capitalization at the time the Fund buys
a security and is not required to sell a security if the company’s capitalization moves outside of the Fund’s capitalization
definition. The Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in foreign securities.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers evaluate
investment opportunities using a bottom-up investment approach. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial
statements, management record and structure, operations, product development and industry competitive position. In addition, the portfolio
managers
may also look for companies with conservatively-capitalized balance sheets, high and consistent internal rates of return, and a favorable
market position within healthy and growing industries. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.
The
portfolio managers consider
the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and look
for companies that may benefit from those trends. The portfolio managers
monitor individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which
may trigger a decision to sell a security.
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
1 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
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.
Investing
in Stocks Risk.
The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term
volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected
negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move
in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market
conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less
experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and
less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations
and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially
less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price
when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business,
they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Foreign
Securities Risk.
The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies,
difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in
which
the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as
exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting
requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public
information available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the
Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations,
which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure
to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging
strategies, if used, are not always successful.
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.
Japan
Investment Risk.
The Fund may invest a significant portion of its total assets in securities of issuers from Japan. The growth of Japan’s economy
has recently lagged behind that
of its Asian neighbors and other major developed economies. The Japanese economy is heavily dependent on international trade and may
be adversely affected by trade tariffs, other protectionist measures,
dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition
from Asia’s other low-cost emerging
economies,
political and social instability,
regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as
by commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply.
The Japanese economy has experienced the effects of the global economic slowdown similar to the United States and Europe, and downturns
in the economies of Japan’s key trading partners, such as the United States, China and/or countries in Southeast Asia, could also
have a negative impact on the Japanese economy as a whole. The Japanese economy also faces several other concerns, including a financial
system with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership by major corporations,
a changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits. These issues may cause a continued slowdown of the Japanese
economy.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain
relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving
its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United
Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and banking system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
2 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
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.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
The
Fund may invest in companies that have no current cash flow and, although
it is anticipated that such companies will generate cash flow in the future, there is the risk that such companies will go bankrupt or
otherwise cease operations.
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.
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
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 International Small-Mid Company Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor
fund into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the
Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and
the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance
to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund.The
Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the
Fund will perform in the future.
The
returns shown for periods ending on or prior to May 24, 2019 are those
of the Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class I shares
of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares, respectively, of the Fund after
the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different
from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Performance
for Class A shares has been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
Fund
performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements.
All
Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

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.
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers
and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests mainly in common stock of small- and mid-cap companies
that are domiciled, or have their primary operations, outside the United States.
4 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
Under
normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net
assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small- and mid-cap companies, and in derivatives and other instruments
that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. The Fund considers small- and mid-cap companies to be those having a market
capitalization in the range of the MSCI ACWI ex USA SMID Cap Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus
the most recent data during the current month. The capitalization range of the index is subject to change at any time due to market activity
or changes in its composition. The range of the index generally widens over time and is reconstituted periodically to preserve its market
cap characteristics.
The
Fund measures a company’s capitalization at the time the Fund buys
a security and is not required to sell a security if the company’s capitalization moves outside of the Fund’s capitalization
definition. The Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in foreign securities.
The
Fund may buy stocks and other equity securities of companies 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, or whose “country of risk” is a foreign country as determined by a third party service provider.
The
Fund’s portfolio managers evaluate
investment opportunities using a bottom-up investment approach. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial
statements, management record and structure, operations, product development and industry competitive position. In addition, the portfolio
managers
may also look for companies with conservatively-capitalized balance sheets, high and consistent internal rates of return, and a favorable
market position within healthy and growing industries. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.
The
portfolio managers consider
the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and look
for companies that may benefit from those trends. The portfolio managers
monitor individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which
may trigger a decision to sell a security.
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.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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.
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
5 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
typical for securities
of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the
Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries
may go up and down in response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies,
or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value
if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries. Information about the Fund’s investment in a market sector or
group of industries is available in its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed with the
SEC.
Foreign
Securities Risk.
The value of the Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability in the home countries of the
issuers of the investments, by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the difficulty in enforcing obligations
in those countries. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer
or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental
restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies,
including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption.
Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies in certain foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it
more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to
recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt.
Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments
in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular
country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged
its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign
currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies,
if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are
unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions
in those countries may
have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. This risk is heightened if the Fund focuses its investments
in emerging market countries or developed countries prone to periods of instability. 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.
Japan
Investment Risk.
Japan may be subject to political, economic, nuclear, labor, natural disaster, and regional and global conflict risks, among others. Any
of these risks, individually or in the aggregate, can impact an investment made in Japan. The growth of Japan’s economy has recently
lagged behind that
of its Asian neighbors and other major developed economies. The Japanese economy is heavily dependent on international trade and may
be adversely affected by trade tariffs, other protectionist measures,
dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition
from Asia’s other low-cost emerging
economies,
political and social instability,
regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as
by commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply.
The Japanese economy has experienced the effects of the global economic slowdown similar to the United States and Europe, and downturns
in the economies of Japan’s key trading partners, such as the United States, China and/or countries in Southeast Asia, could also
have a negative impact on the Japanese economy as a whole. Japan has a limited supply of natural resources, and is heavily dependent on
oil imports, and higher commodity prices could therefore have a negative impact on the Japanese economy.
The
Japanese economy faces additional concerns, including a financial system
with large levels of nonperforming loans, over-leveraged corporate balance sheets, extensive cross-ownership by major corporations, a
changing corporate governance structure, and large government deficits. These issues may cause a continued slowdown of the Japanese economy.
The nuclear power plant catastrophe in Japan in March 2011 may have long-term effects on the Japanese economy and its nuclear energy industry.
Moreover,
Japan has an aging workforce and has experienced a significant
population decline in recent years. Japan’s labor market appears to be undergoing fundamental structural changes as a result, which
may adversely affect its economic competitiveness in the world marketplace.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of countries in Eastern Europe, are members
of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related to money supply and interest
rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with restrictions on inflation
rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in
Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the
default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU member country may have
significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including
EU member countries that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central
banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic
recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have
6 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively impact the EU and Europe as a whole, such as
by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking additional member
states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other member states will
likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely
affect the Fund’s investments.
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
or deflation 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.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
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
7 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
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.
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.
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.92%
of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall
be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser.
8 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company Fund
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
following individuals are jointly and
primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
■
David
Nadel (lead manager),
Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2019.
Prior to joining Invesco, Mr. Nadel was employed by Royce & Associates from 2006 to 2019, where he served as Principal, Director of
International Research and Portfolio Manager.
■
Andrey
Belov, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2024 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates
since 2020. From 2018 to 2020, he was a research analyst at Lord Abbett for an international small-mid cap strategy. From 2009 to 2018,
he was a co-portfolio manager and senior research analyst at Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn on an international equity strategy.
A
lead or co-lead manager generally has final authority over all aspects of
the Fund's investment portfolio, including but not limited to, purchases and sales of individual securities, portfolio construction techniques,
portfolio risk assessment, and the management of daily cash flows in accordance with portfolio holdings. The degree to which a lead or
co-lead manager may perform these functions, and the nature of these functions, may change from time to time.
More
information on the portfolio managers
may be found at www.invesco.com/us. The website is not part of this prospectus.
The
Fund's SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’
investments in the Fund, a description of the compensation structure and information regarding other accounts managed.
Other
Information
Sales
Charges
Purchases
of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 5.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category I Initial
Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of
the prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if you sell Class C shares within
one year of purchase; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid
a commission at the time of purchase. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred
Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The
Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of ordinary income, capital
gains, or some combination of both.
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments,
the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though
the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
9 Invesco
International Small-Mid Company 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). 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.

International Small-Mid Company 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 the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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

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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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:

& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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.
■

dividend reinvestment. Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed

as the following conditions are
met:

purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
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.
■
Shares

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.

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

Stifel,
Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and its broker dealer

■
Rights

Stifel based on the aggregated holding of all assets in all classes of shares of Invesco funds held by accounts within the purchaser’s
household at Stifel. Eligible fund family assets not held at Stifel may be included in the calculation of ROA only if the shareholder
notifies his or her financial advisor about such assets.

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.

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
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
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.

*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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•

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 0.44%, 1.19%, 0.69%, 0.19%, 0.19% and 0.19%, respectively, of the Fund’s
average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on February
28,
2025.
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 23%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities
represented in the MSCI World SRI Index (the Underlying Index) and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to such securities.
The
Underlying Index includes common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization
companies from 23 developed market countries, including the U.S. The Underlying Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted
index that is designed to represent the performance of companies that have high Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings relative
to their sector peers, as determined by MSCI Inc. (MSCI), the index provider of the Underlying Index. The investment universe for the
Underlying Index starts with constituents (i.e., a company or stock that is part of the index) included in the MSCI Global Investable
Market Indexes. Companies are then excluded from the Underlying Index if: (1) they have any tie to controversial weapons, as defined by
MSCI; (2) they are manufacturers or producers, as determined by MSCI, of civilian firearms, nuclear weapons (or of components or delivery
platforms that can be used for nuclear weapons and/or provide auxiliary services related to nuclear weapons), or tobacco,
or, with respect to civilian firearms and tobacco, derive 5% or more of their revenues from certain activities, such as distribution,
production, retail, supply and licensing of such products; (3)
their revenues from adult entertainment,
alcohol,
conventional weapons, gambling, genetically modified organisms,
nuclear power, or thermal coal-based power generation exceed the
business involvement thresholds determined by MSCI; (4) they derive any revenue (either reported or estimated) from unconventional fossil
fuel extraction or thermal coal mining; or (5) they have evidence of ownership of fossil fuel reserves,
as determined by MSCI.
MSCI
utilizes proprietary ratings and research provided by MSCI ESG Research
LLC (MSCI ESG Research) to assign the remaining companies an
1 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
“ESG Rating”
and an “ESG Controversies
Score.” Companies must meet a minimum ESG Rating and ESG Controversies
Score to be eligible for inclusion in the Underlying Index.
According
to MSCI ESG Research, an ESG Rating is based on a company’s
ability to manage ESG risks and opportunities relative to its industry peers. MSCI ESG Research uses a quantitative model to evaluate
the ability of companies to manage key issues, such as carbon emissions,
water stress,
or health and safety
(each, a “Key Issue”)
within their respective industries. Points of data include the company’s risk exposure to a particular Key
Issue (by evaluating certain business metrics such as core product
and business segments) and the company’s demonstrated management capabilities (by evaluating its management strategies and track
record of performance in managing risks or opportunities). Other factors, such as a company’s ability to capitalize on certain opportunities
presented by a particular risk and the company’s alleged involvement in ESG controversies, are also evaluated. Companies are assigned
scores based on these various factors, which are then combined and normalized relative to their industry peers to create the final ESG
Ratings. The Underlying Index methodology targets securities of companies making up the top 25% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization
in each representative sector of each region represented in the Underlying Index according to their ESG Ratings.
An
ESG Controversies
Score is based on a company’s involvement in very serious
controversies involving the negative ESG impact of its operations and/or products and services that are linked to specific international
norms and principles represented by the UN Declaration of Human Rights, global
conventions, such as the International Labour Organization
(ILO)
Fundamental Conventions,
and the UN Global Compact.
The
Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually. The
Fund is generally rebalanced and reconstituted in accordance with the Underlying Index.
In
seeking to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Underlying
Index, the Adviser utilizes a “sampling” methodology pursuant to which the Adviser will invest substantially all of the Fund’s
assets in securities comprising the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportion as such securities’ weighting in the Underlying
Index, but will generally not purchase all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index.
The
Fund can use exchange-traded futures contracts, including index futures,
to gain exposure to equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances. These investments are not subject
to the ESG considerations discussed above.
The
Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as
the Underlying Index is diversified. The Fund may become “non-diversified,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index.
A “non-diversified” fund can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or in any one issuer than
a diversified fund can. Shareholder approval will not be sought if the Fund becomes non-diversified due solely to a change in the relative
market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index.
In
seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Fund may from time to time
have significant exposure to a particular sector.
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.
Investing
in Stocks Risk.
The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term
volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected
negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move
in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction
at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments,
such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include,
but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of
the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks,
or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk.
Mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, 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, and
their returns may vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market.
ESG
Risk. Because MSCI uses ESG factors to exclude, select and assign
weights to certain stocks of companies included in the Underlying Index for non-financial reasons, the Fund may forego some market opportunities
available to funds that do not use these factors. Consequently, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not use ESG factors. Further,
there is a risk that information used by MSCI to evaluate the ESG factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, which could
negatively impact MSCI’s ability to apply its ESG standards when compiling the Underlying Index, which may negatively impact the
Fund’s performance. MSCI’s assessment of a company, based on the company’s level of involvement in a particular industry
or the company’s ESG Rating and ESG Controversies
Score, may differ from that of other funds, the Adviser or an investor. As a result, the companies deemed eligible by MSCI for inclusion
in the Underlying Index may not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or
favorable ESG characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them. Not every investment or issuer held by the Fund may be
evaluated for ESG considerations.
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
2 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
controls.
Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements
and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information
available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged
its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign
currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies,
if used, are not always successful.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative
impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
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.
Index
Risk.
Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index.
Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from the
Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. Additionally, the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance
with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding
changes to the Fund’s rebalance schedule.
Non-Correlation
Risk.
The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating
expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing and reconstituting
the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index. The Fund’s use of a representative
sampling approach may cause the Fund not to be as well-correlated with the return of the Underlying Index as would be the case if the
Fund purchased all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the proportions represented in the Underlying Index. In addition, the
performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s
portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.
Sampling
Risk.
The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach may result in it holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying
Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV
than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in the Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller,
these risks will be greater.
Derivatives
Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity,
interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets,
the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty
risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise
perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic
exposure created by holding a position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the
underlying
asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated
value of the underlying asset, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments
may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at
a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that
could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For
example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits,
particularly during adverse market conditions.
Non-Diversification
Risk.
To the extent
the Fund
becomes
non-diversified
the Fund may
invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities
of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. In such circumstances, a change in the value of one or
a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
The
bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes
in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. For periods prior to June 29, 2020, performance shown is that of the
Fund using its previous investment strategy. Therefore, the past performance shown for periods prior to June 29, 2020 may have differed
had the Fund’s current investment strategy been in effect. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of
a broad measure of market performance and additional benchmarks with characteristics relevant to the Fund. 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.

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.
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.

Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital.
The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees
(the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities
4 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
represented in the Underlying
Index and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. This policy may be changed
by the Board, but no change is anticipated. If the Fund’s policy changes, the Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days prior
to implementation of the change.
The
Underlying Index includes common stocks of large- and mid-capitalization
companies from 23 developed market countries, including the U.S. The Underlying Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted
index that is designed to represent the performance of companies that have high ESG ratings relative to their sector peers, as determined
by MSCI, the index provider of the Underlying Index. The investment universe for the Underlying Index starts with constituents included
in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes. MSCI then applies the following screens, which are based on defined levels of restrictiveness,
to exclude companies involved in certain controversial activities: (1) the “most restrictive” screen, which excludes companies
that have any tie to controversial weapons (cluster munitions,
landmines, depleted uranium weapons, biological/chemical weapons,
blinding lasers, non-detectable fragments, and incendiary weapons),
as defined by MSCI; (2) the “highly restrictive” screen, which excludes companies that are manufacturers or producers, as
determined by MSCI, of civilian firearms, nuclear weapons (or of components or delivery platforms that can be used for nuclear weapons
and/or provide auxiliary services related to nuclear weapons), or tobacco, or, with respect to civilian firearms and tobacco, derive 5%
or more of their revenues from certain activities, such as distribution,
production, retail, supply and licensing of such products; and
(3) the “moderately restrictive” screen, which excludes companies whose revenues from adult
entertainment, alcohol,
conventional weapons, gambling, genetically modified organisms, or nuclear power exceed the business involvement thresholds determined
by MSCI (generally ranging from 5% or more to 15% or more, depending on the type of activity). The following companies are also excluded
from the Underlying Index without reference to any specific restrictiveness level: (i) those deriving any revenue (either reported or
estimated) from unconventional oil and gas extraction or thermal coal mining, (ii) those deriving 5% or more revenue (either reported
or estimated) from thermal coal-based power generation, and (iii) those that have evidence of fossil fuel reserves ownership,
as determined by MSCI.
MSCI
utilizes proprietary ratings and research provided by MSCI ESG Research
to assign the remaining companies an “ESG Rating” and an “ESG Controversies
Score.” ESG Ratings range on a seven-point scale from “AAA” to “CCC,” with “AAA” being the highest
rating. ESG Controversies
Scores range from “0” to “10,” with “0” being the most severe controversy. Companies must have a minimum
ESG Rating of “A” and a minimum ESG Controversies
Score of “4” to be eligible for inclusion as new constituents in the Underlying Index.
An
ESG Rating is based on a company’s ability to manage ESG risks and
opportunities relative to its industry peers. MSCI ESG Research identifies ESG risks and opportunities through a quantitative model that
evaluates each industry for Key Issues,
such as carbon emissions,
water stress,
or health and safety.
In determining whether a company in a particular industry is adequately managing a Key Issue, MSCI ESG Research looks at the company’s
risk exposure to the particular Key Issue
(by evaluating certain business metrics such as core product and business segments) and the company’s demonstrated management capabilities
(by evaluating its management strategies and track record of performance in managing risks or opportunities). Other factors, such as a
company’s ability to capitalize on certain opportunities presented by a particular risk and the company’s alleged involvement
in ESG controversies, are also evaluated. Companies are assigned scores based on these various factors, which are then combined and normalized
relative to their industry peers to create the final ESG Ratings.
According
to MSCI ESG Research, an
ESG Controversies Score is based on a company’s involvement
in very serious
controversies involving the negative ESG impact of its operations and/or products and services that are
linked
to specific international norms and principles. The evaluation framework used in making this determination is designed to be consistent
with international norms and principles represented by the UN Declaration of Human Rights, global
conventions, such as the International Labour Organization
(ILO)
Fundamental Conventions,
and the UN Global Compact.
Once
the companies are rated, the Underlying Index methodology employs
a selection approach to target securities of companies making up the top 25% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each
representative sector of each region represented in the Underlying
Index according to their ESG Ratings, thus emphasizing securities
with ESG Ratings of “AAA” and “AA.”
The
Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly at the end of February, August
and November, and reconstituted annually in May. Existing constituents are required to maintain a minimum ESG Rating of “BB”
and a minimum ESG Controversies
Score of “1” to remain in the Underlying Index at each rebalance. Companies whose ESG Ratings and ESG Controversies
Scores drop below the requisite minimums will be removed from the
Underlying Index at the next rebalance. Constituents are not removed
from the Underlying Index between rebalances and reconstitutions on account of a company dropping below the requisite minimum ESG Ratings
or ESG Controversies Scores, or a change in business involvement.
The Fund is generally rebalanced and reconstituted in accordance with the Underlying Index.
In
seeking to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Underlying
Index, the Adviser utilizes a “sampling” methodology pursuant to which the Adviser will invest substantially all of the Fund’s
assets in securities comprising the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportion as such securities’ weighting in the Underlying
Index, but will generally not purchase all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index. The sampling methodology will result in
the Fund holding a portfolio of securities that have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics similar to the Underlying Index in
terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics. These include industry weightings, market capitalization,
return variability, earnings valuation, yield and other financial characteristics of securities. The Adviser bases the quantity of holdings
in the Fund on a number of factors, including whether it is practical or cost effective to invest in a particular security represented
in the Underlying Index.
There
also may be instances in which the Adviser may choose to (i) overweight
or underweight a security in the Underlying Index, (ii) purchase securities not contained in the Underlying Index that the Adviser believes
are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Underlying Index, or (iii) utilize various combinations of other available
investment techniques in seeking to track the Underlying Index. Therefore, certain securities in the Fund may not be subject to the ESG
considerations discussed above.
The
Fund may sell securities included in the Underlying Index in anticipation
of their removal from the Underlying Index, or purchase securities not included in the Underlying Index in anticipation of their addition
to the Underlying Index.
The
Fund can use exchange-traded futures contracts, including index futures,
to gain exposure to equity securities represented in the Underlying Index while managing cash balances. For example, the Fund may receive
cash as a result of a shareholder purchase prior to its periodic rebalancing; instead of holding the cash until the next rebalancing of
the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers may purchase index futures to maintain exposure to securities included in the Underlying
Index. When the Fund’s portfolio is rebalanced, the index futures would be sold and the resulting cash would be invested in securities
included in the Underlying Index. These investments are not subject to the ESG considerations discussed above.
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
5 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
obligated to complete
the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing an off-setting contract,
physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement date.
The
Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as
the Underlying Index is diversified. The Fund may become “non-diversified,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index.
A “non-diversified” fund can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small group of issuers or in any one issuer than
a diversified fund can. Shareholder approval will not be sought if the Fund becomes non-diversified due solely to a change in the relative
market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the Underlying Index.
In
seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Fund may from time to time
have significant exposure to a particular sector.
In
compiling the Underlying Index, MSCI may, at its discretion, choose to change
its ESG factors, add ESG factors, or modify the application of the ESG factors at any time. This will impact investments held by the Fund
and may cause certain companies, sectors or industries to be dropped from or added to the Underlying Index and, therefore, the Fund’s
portfolio.
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.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located in or with significant
exposure to an impacted country or geographic regions.
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.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger,
more established companies. Stocks of 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. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market.
ESG
Risk. Because MSCI uses ESG factors to exclude, select and assign
weights to certain stocks of companies included in the Underlying Index for non-financial reasons, the Fund may forego some market opportunities
available to funds that do not use these factors. Consequently, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not use ESG factors. Further,
there is a risk that information used by MSCI to evaluate the ESG factors may not be readily available, complete or accurate, which could
negatively impact MSCI’s ability to apply its ESG standards when compiling the Underlying Index, which may negatively impact the
Fund’s performance. MSCI’s assessment of a company, based on the company’s level of involvement in a particular industry
or the company’s ESG Rating and ESG Controversies
Score, may differ from that of other funds, the Adviser or an investor. As a result, the companies deemed eligible by MSCI for inclusion
in the Underlying Index may not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or
favorable ESG characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them. Not every investment or issuer held by the Fund may be
evaluated for ESG considerations.
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
6 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
the possible seizure,
nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market)
and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to
less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may
therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less publicly available information about companies in certain
foreign countries than about U.S. companies making it more difficult for the Adviser to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain
countries may put limits on the Fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the foreign bank, depository or issuer
of a security, or any of their agents, goes bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S.
securities due to the size of the market or other factors. Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely
affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk.
At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events
that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves
the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency
(or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate
significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful. For instance, currency forward
contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions in
those countries may have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. This risk is heightened if the Fund
focuses its investments in emerging market countries or developed countries prone to periods of instability. 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.
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.
Index
Risk.
Unlike many investment companies that are “actively managed,” the Fund is a “passive” investor and therefore does
not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of the Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would not necessarily buy
or sell a security unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally
is underperforming. If a specific security is removed from the Underlying Index, the Fund may be forced to sell such security at an inopportune
time or for a price lower than the security’s current market value. The Underlying Index may not contain the appropriate mix of
securities for any particular economic cycle. Additionally, the Fund generally rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying
Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to
the Fund’s rebalance schedule. Further, unlike with an actively managed fund, the Adviser does
not use techniques or
defensive strategies designed to lessen the impact of periods of market volatility or market decline. This means that, based on certain
market and economic conditions, the Fund’s performance could be lower than other types of mutual funds with investment advisers
that actively manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of or defend against market events.
Non-Correlation
Risk.
The Fund’s returns may not match the return of the Underlying Index (that is, it may experience tracking error) for a number of
reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index and incurs costs in buying and selling
securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index.
To the extent that the Fund has recently commenced operations and/or otherwise has a relatively small amount of assets, such transaction
costs could have a proportionally greater impact on the Fund. Additionally, because the Fund uses a sampling approach, it may result in
returns for the Fund that are not as well-correlated with the return of the Underlying Index as would be the case if the Fund purchased
all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the proportions represented in the Underlying Index.
The
performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset
valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs
or liquidity constraints. The Fund’s transactions, which are principally in cash and therefore could be subject to incurring higher
costs in buying or selling securities, may also contribute to tracking error. The Fund may fair value certain of the securities it holds.
To the extent the Fund calculates its NAV based on fair value prices, the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely
affected. Since the Underlying Index is not subject to the tax diversification requirements to which the Fund must adhere, the Fund may
be required to deviate its investments from the securities contained in, and relative weightings of, the Underlying Index. The Fund may
not invest in certain securities included in the Underlying Index due to liquidity constraints. Liquidity constraints also may delay the
Fund’s purchase or sale of securities included in the Underlying Index. For tax efficiency purposes, the Fund may sell certain securities
to realize losses, causing it to deviate from the Underlying Index.
The
Fund generally attempts to remain fully invested in the constituents of
the Underlying Index. However, the Adviser may not fully invest the Fund at times, either as a result of cash flows into the Fund, to
retain a reserve of cash to meet redemptions and expenses, or because of low assets (particularly when the Fund is new and has operated
only for a short period).
The
investment activities of one or more of the Adviser’s affiliates, including
other subsidiaries of the Adviser’s parent company, Invesco Ltd., for their proprietary accounts and for client accounts also may
adversely impact the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index. For example, in regulated industries, certain emerging or international
markets and under corporate and regulatory ownership definitions, there may be limits on the aggregate amount of investment by affiliated
investors that may not be exceeded, or that may not be exceeded without the grant of a license or other regulatory or corporate consent,
or, if exceeded, may cause the Adviser, the Fund or other client accounts to suffer disadvantages or business restrictions. As a result,
the Fund may be restricted in its ability to acquire particular securities due to positions held by the Fund and the Adviser’s affiliates.
Sampling
Risk.
The use of a representative sampling approach may result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying
Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer of securities that the Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than
would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in the Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these
risks will be greater. In addition, by sampling the securities in the Underlying Index, the Fund faces the chance that the securities
selected for the Fund, in the aggregate, will not provide investment performance matching that of the Underlying Index, thereby increasing
tracking error.

MSCI World SRI Index Fund
Derivatives
Risk.
A derivative is an instrument whose value depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity,
interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets,
the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, which are described below.
■
Counterparty
Risk.
Certain derivatives do not trade on an established exchange (referred to as over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial
contracts between the Fund and a counterparty. When the Fund is owed money on an OTC derivative, the Fund is dependent on the counterparty
to pay or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset, unless the Fund can otherwise sell its derivative contract to a third party prior
to its expiration. Many counterparties are financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers and their creditworthiness (and ability
to pay or perform) may be negatively impacted by factors affecting financial institutions generally. In addition, in the event that a
counterparty becomes bankrupt or insolvent, the Fund’s ability to recover the collateral that the Fund has on deposit with the counterparty
could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives traded on a centralized exchange, the Fund generally is dependent upon the solvency of the
relevant exchange clearing house (which acts as a guarantor for each contractual obligation under such derivatives) for payment on derivative
instruments for which the Fund is owed money.
■
Leverage
Risk.
Many derivatives do not require a payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the derivative, which
creates a form of leverage. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a
loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset. In addition,
some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Leverage may therefore
make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on derivative instruments
can grow larger while the value of the Fund’s other assets fall, resulting in the Fund’s derivative positions becoming a larger
percentage of the Fund’s investments.
■
Liquidity
Risk.
There is a smaller pool of buyers and sellers for certain derivatives, particularly OTC derivatives, than more traditional investments
such as stocks. These buyers and sellers are often financial institutions that may be unable or unwilling to buy or sell derivatives during
times of financial or market stress. Derivative instruments may therefore be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund
may be unable to sell or exit its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market
conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. To the extent that the Fund is unable to
exit a derivative position because of market illiquidity, the Fund may not be able to prevent further losses of value in its derivatives
holdings and the liquidity of the Fund and its ability to meet redemption requests may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion
of the Fund’s otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin. Another consequence of illiquidity is that the Fund may be required
to hold a derivative instrument to maturity and take or make delivery of the underlying asset that the Adviser would otherwise avoid.
■
Futures
Contracts Risk. The volatility of futures contracts prices has
been historically greater than the volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering
into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures
contract
for each trading session. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price
movement.
■
Other
Risks.
Compared to other types of investments, derivatives may be harder to value and may also be less tax efficient, as described under the
“Taxes” section of the prospectus. In addition, changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could affect the
character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of
derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or require
the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that
the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation
between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment,
in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument
which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the
requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated investment company.
Non-Diversification
Risk.
To the extent
the Fund
becomes
non-diversified
the Fund may
invest a greater portion of its assets in the obligations or securities
of a small number of issuers or any single issuer than a diversified fund can. In such circumstances, a change in the value of one or
a few issuers’ securities will therefore affect the value of the Fund more than if it was a diversified fund.
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 Deutschland serves as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser.
Invesco Deutschland, an affiliate of the Adviser, is located at An der Welle 5, 1st Floor, Frankfurt, Germany. Invesco Deutschland has
been managing assets for institutional and retail clients since 1998. Invesco Deutschland provides portfolio management services to the
Fund.
In
addition, Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements
with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers
and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential
New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order Structure). The SEC has also
granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated
or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments
to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers)
without shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate
8 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 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.
Investment

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.
The
Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income, if any, annually.
Capital Gains Distributions
The
Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually.
Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the
effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a
current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
Class
A, Class C, Class R, Class Y and Class R5 shares of the Fund are closed to new investors. Class
R6 shares of the Fund remains open to new investors. Investors
should note that the Fund reserves the right to refuse any order that might disrupt the efficient management of the Fund.
Investors
who were invested in the Fund on or prior to June 29, 2020 may
continue to make additional purchases and exchanges in
their accounts. During this limited offering, the Fund reserves
the right, in its discretion, to accept purchases and exchanges: from certain investors which may include, among others, corporations,
endowments, foundations and insurance companies; from registered investment advisor (RIA) or bank trust firms with eligible assets described
above that launch a new offering platform or move assets from an existing platform to a new platform; and in other limited circumstances
after a determination by the Adviser that such action is not detrimental to the Fund and its shareholders. The Fund reserves the right
to change this policy at any time.
Any
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or its affiliated plans
may continue to make additional purchases and exchanges of
Fund shares and may add new accounts at the plan level that may purchase Fund shares if the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plan or its affiliated plan had invested in the Fund as of June 29, 2020. Existing
RIA and bank trust firms that have an investment allocation to the Fund in a fee-based,
wrap or advisory account, can continue to add new clients,
purchase shares,
and exchange into the Fund.
The Fund will not be available to new RIA and
bank
trust firms.
The

11 Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund
Shareholder
Account Information
In
addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco
Funds or Funds). The following information is about the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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:

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

The
financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, policies regarding
exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, minimum account balances, and share class eligibility requirements that follow

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

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.
■
Purchases
of Class 529-A shares through a rollover from either another
education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.
■
Purchases
of Class 529 shares made for recontribution of refunded amounts.
■
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) Waivers

is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
■
The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■
Systematic

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).

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:

A2 shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund

Only
accounts beneficially owned by natural persons will be permitted to retain their shares. The Fund has implemented policies and procedures
reasonably designed to limit all beneficial owners of the Fund to natural persons, and investments in the Fund are limited to accounts
beneficially owned by natural persons. Natural persons may invest in the Fund through certain tax-advantaged savings accounts, trusts
and other retirement and investment accounts, which may include, among others: participant-directed defined contribution plans; individual
retirement accounts; simplified employee pension arrangements; simple retirement accounts; custodial accounts; deferred compensation plans
for government or tax-exempt organization employees; Archer medical savings accounts; college savings plans; health savings account plans;
ordinary trusts and estates of natural persons; or certain other retirement and investment accounts with ultimate investment authority
held by the natural person beneficial owner, notwithstanding having an institutional decision maker making day-to-day decisions (e.g.,
a plan sponsor in certain retirement arrangements or an investment adviser managing discretionary investment accounts).
Further,
financial intermediaries may only submit purchase orders if they have
implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to limit all investors on behalf of whom they submit orders to accounts beneficially
owned by natural persons. Financial intermediaries may be required to provide a written statement or other representation that they have
in place, and operate in compliance with, such policies and procedures prior to submitting purchase orders. Such policies and procedures
may include provisions for the financial intermediary to promptly report to the Fund or the transfer agent the identification of any shareholder
of the Fund that does not qualify as a natural person of whom they are aware and promptly take steps to redeem any such shareholder’s
shares of the Fund upon request by the
Fund or the transfer
agent, in such manner as it may reasonably request. The Fund may involuntarily redeem any such shareholder who does not voluntarily redeem
their shares.
Natural
persons may purchase shares using one of the options below. For
all classes of the Fund, other than Investor Class shares, unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent
will generally accept any purchase order placed until 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed
until 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you wish to place an order between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business
day, you must place such order by telephone; or send your request by a pre-arranged Liquidity Link data transmission however, the Fund’s
transfer agent reserves the right to reject or limit the amount of orders placed during this time. For Investor Class shares of the Fund,
unless the Fund closes early on a business day, the Fund’s transfer agent will generally accept any purchase order placed until
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day and may accept a purchase order placed until 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day. If you
wish to place an order between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on a business day, you must place such order by telephone; however,
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.

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.

generally
charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus; and
■

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.
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.

*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
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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 13%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
The
Fund mainly invests in the common stock of growth companies that are domiciled or have their primary operations outside of the United
States. The Fund may invest 100% of its assets in securities of foreign companies. The Fund may invest in emerging markets (i.e., those
that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles) as well as in developed markets throughout the world. From time to
time the Fund may place greater emphasis on investing in one or more particular regions such as Asia or Europe. Under normal market conditions
the Fund will:
■
invest
at least 65% of its total assets in common and preferred stocks of issuers in at least three different countries outside of the United
States, and
■
emphasize
investments in common stocks of issuers that are considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue
growth.
The
Fund does not limit its investments to issuers within a specific market
capitalization range and at times may invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or more particular capitalization ranges. The
Fund can also buy preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stock and other securities having equity features.
In
selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers evaluate
investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis. The portfolio managers look primarily for foreign companies with high growth potential
using a “bottom up” investment approach, that is, by looking at the investment performance of individual stocks before considering
the impact of general or industry-specific economic trends. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial
statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations, product development, and industry position.
The
portfolio managers currently focus on the following factors, which may
vary in particular cases and may change over time:
■
companies
that enjoy a strong competitive position and high demand for their products or services;
■
companies
with accelerating earnings growth and cash flow; and
■
diversity
among companies, industries and countries to help reduce the risks of foreign investing, such as currency fluctuations and stock market
volatility.
The
portfolio managers also consider the effect of worldwide trends on the
growth of particular business sectors and look for companies that may benefit from those trends. The trends currently considered include:
mass affluence, new technologies, restructuring and aging. The portfolio managers do not invest any fixed amount of the Fund’s assets
according to these criteria and the trends that are considered may change over time. The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers
for changes in the factors
1 Invesco
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
above, which may trigger
a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so.
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As
with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any
other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market
Risk.
The market values of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a
whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related
to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate
earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease
or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, 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.
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.
Foreign
Securities Risk.
The Fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies,
difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a
certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally
may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting
controls, and may therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information available about foreign companies
than U.S. companies, making it difficult to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency exposure,
foreign securities risk also involves the risk of
negative
foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments
through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over
short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always successful.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. Adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may therefore have a significant negative
impact on the Fund’s investment performance.
European
Investment Risk. The
Economic and Monetary Union (the “EMU”)
of the European Union (the “EU”) requires compliance with restrictions on inflation rates, deficits, interest rates, debt
levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in Europe. Decreasing imports or exports,
changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the default or threat of default by an EU
member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions in an EU member country may have significant adverse effects
on the economies of EU member countries. Responses to financial
problems by EU countries may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. A number of countries in Eastern Europe remain
relatively undeveloped and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments. Separately, the EU faces issues involving
its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member states from the EU, such as the departure of the United
Kingdom (the
“UK”), referred to as
“Brexit”, could place the departing member's currency
and banking system under severe stress or even in
jeopardy. An
exit by other member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected
markets, which will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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.
Growth
Investing Risk.
If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the
2 Invesco
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
expected
results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater
stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth
investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price
and the securities of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may
also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing
in larger, more established companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market
conditions, may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less
experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and
less liquid than those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations
and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially
less than is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller
companies may be subject to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price
when it wants to sell them. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business,
they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.
Sector
Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount
of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to
a greater extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant
value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
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.
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 International Growth Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund
into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization,
the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and the Fund from year
to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad
measure of market performance. 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.

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.
The
Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are
investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual retirement account. Any
distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan or account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers
and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor
or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The
Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of
Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The
Fund mainly invests in the common stock of growth companies that are
domiciled or have their primary operations outside of the United States. The Fund may invest 100% of its assets in securities of foreign
companies. The Fund may invest in emerging markets (i.e., those that are generally in the early stages of their industrial cycles) as
well as in developed markets throughout the world. From time to time it may place greater emphasis on investing in one or more particular
regions such as Asia or Europe. Under normal market conditions the Fund will:
■
invest
at least 65% of its total assets in common and preferred stocks of issuers in at least three different countries outside of the United
States, and
■
emphasize
investments in common stocks of issuers that are considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue
growth.
The
Fund does not limit its investments to issuers within a specific market
capitalization range and at times may invest a substantial portion of its assets in one or more particular capitalization ranges.
In
selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, the portfolio managers evaluate
investment opportunities on a company-by-company basis. The portfolio managers look primarily for foreign companies with high growth potential
using a “bottom up” investment approach, that is, by looking at the investment performance of individual stocks before considering
the impact of general or industry-specific economic trends. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company’s financial
statements and management structure and consideration of the company’s operations, product development, and industry position.
4 Invesco
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
The
portfolio managers currently focus on the following factors, which may
vary in particular cases and may change over time:
■
companies
that enjoy a strong competitive position and high demand for their products or services;
■
companies
with accelerating earnings growth and cash flow; and
■
diversity
among companies, industries and countries to help reduce the risks of foreign investing, such as currency fluctuations and stock market
volatility.
The
portfolio managers also consider the effect of worldwide trends on the
growth of particular business sectors and look for companies that may benefit from those trends. The trends currently considered include:
mass affluence, new technologies, restructuring and aging. The portfolio managers do not invest any fixed amount of the Fund’s assets
according to these criteria and the trends that are considered may change over time. The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers
for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so.
In
anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions,
the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio
managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The
Fund’s investments in the types of securities and other investments described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other
investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For
more information, see “Description of the Funds and Their Investments
and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
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 Armed
Conflict. As
a result of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial markets,
armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region,
for example the current conflicts
between Russia
and Ukraine in Europe
and Hamas and Israel in the
Middle East,
has
the potential to adversely impact the Fund’s
investments.
Such conflicts,
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.
The
timing and duration of such conflicts,
resulting
sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located
in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
regions.
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.
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
5 Invesco
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
political and economic
factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may
also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may
be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Unless the Fund has hedged its foreign currency
exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of
securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline
in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not
always successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used by the Fund, could reduce performance if there are unanticipated
changes in currency exchange rates.
Geographic
Focus Risk.
The Fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or
a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions in
those countries may have a significant negative impact on the Fund’s investment performance. This risk is heightened if the Fund
focuses its investments in emerging market countries or developed countries prone to periods of instability. 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.
European
Investment Risk. Europe
includes both developed and emerging markets. Most countries in Western Europe, and a number of countries in Eastern Europe, are members
of the EU and the EMU. The EMU, which is authorized to direct monetary policies, including policies related to money supply and interest
rates for the euro (the common currency of certain EU countries), requires compliance by member states with restrictions on inflation
rates, deficits, interest rates, debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls, each of which may significantly affect every country in
Europe. Decreasing imports or exports, changes in governmental or EU regulations on trade, changes in the exchange rate of the euro, the
default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and/or economic recessions in an EU member country may have
significant adverse effects on the economies of EU member countries and the EU as a whole.
In
recent years, the European financial markets have experienced volatility
and adverse trends due to concerns about rising government debt levels of several European countries, including Greece, Spain, Ireland,
Italy and Portugal. A default or debt restructuring by any European
country would adversely impact holders of that country's debt and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country's creditworthiness.
These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including
EU member countries that do not use the euro and non-EU member countries. Responses to financial problems by European governments, central
banks, and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not produce the desired results, may limit future growth and economic
recovery, may result in social unrest,
or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and other entities of their debt could have additional
adverse effects on economies, financial markets, and asset valuations around the world. The markets of
a number of countries in Eastern Europe remain relatively undeveloped
and can be particularly sensitive to political and economic developments.
Recent security concerns related to immigration, war and geopolitical risk, and terrorism could have a negative impact on the EU and investments
within EU countries.
The
EU
faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The
UK's departure from
the EU,
referred to
as “Brexit,”
could have wide ranging implications for the UK’s
economy, including: possible inflation or recession, depreciation of the British
pound, or disruption to Britain’s trading arrangements with
the rest of Europe. The UK
is one of Europe’s largest economies; its departure from the EU also may negatively
impact the EU and Europe
as a whole, such as by causing volatility within the union, triggering prolonged economic downturns in certain European countries or sparking
additional member states to contemplate departing the EU (thereby perpetuating political instability in the region). An exit by other
member states will likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which
will adversely affect the Fund’s investments.
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
or deflation 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
6 Invesco
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
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.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and
stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price fails
to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply.
Growth companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business and therefore may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated growth may come from developing
new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have
a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer
growth companies generally tend to invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital assets. Although newer growth
companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out
of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price and the securities
of growth companies may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile
than other securities because of investor speculation.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in securities
of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little
or no operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management and
fewer financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of
more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt
and erratic price movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many instances, are traded over-the-counter
or on a regional securities exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is typical for securities of
larger companies traded on national securities exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to wider price
fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In addition,
investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is
sometimes referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient management of the Fund. Since small
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time,
particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap
company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies may change over time as the securities market changes, and the
Fund is not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
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.
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.
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.
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,
7 Invesco
Oppenheimer International Growth Fund
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.
During
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023,
the Adviser received compensation of 0.66% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with
the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment
advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual
report to shareholders.
The
following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:

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
information presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial history for the
past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the Fund or predecessor fund or class
of Fund or predecessor fund shares. The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s and the predecessor
fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have
earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information
for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting
firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available
upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor.

Shareholder
Account Information
In
addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco
Funds or Funds). The following information is about the Invesco Funds and
their share classes that have different fees and expenses. Certain
Invesco Funds have their own “Shareholder
Account Information Section” that
should be consulted for specific information related 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.
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.

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 are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund may make additional purchases into
Class AX and CX, respectively, of Invesco Government Money
Market 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 CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, 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.
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 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 of the Funds 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.
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 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 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,
or if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you
no longer have a financial intermediary.
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:

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones
(also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible
only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through another
broker-dealer. 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, 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.
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
■
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 certain money market
funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of
Invesco
funds 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).
■
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through
a LOI,
shareholders can receive the 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.
Sales charges are waived for the following
shareholders and in the following situations:
■
Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts 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:
the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the
purchase, the
sale and purchase
are made from a share
class that charges a
front load and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The
redemption proceeds are used to process an: IRA contribution, excess contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or
distribution, and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping for ROA.
■
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.

education savings plan or a security used for qualified distributions.

The
death or disability of the shareholder.
■

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

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.

Qualifying for Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
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.
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;
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);
and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December
15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A shares.
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)
the
Invesco Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants,
and each
new participant account is
established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual
custodial accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for the purpose of qualifying those participants
for lower initial sales charge rates.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Intermediary*
|

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

at
that day’s net asset value. Please contact your financial adviser or
financial
intermediary with respect to reporting of cost basis and
available
elections for your account. |
|
Send
a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent which includes: |
|
▪ Original
signatures of all registered owners/trustees;
▪ The
dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
▪ The
name of the Fund(s) and your account number;
▪ The
cost basis method or specific shares you wish to redeem for
tax
reporting purposes, if different than the method already on
record;
and |
|
▪ Signature
guarantees, if necessary (see below).
The
Funds’ transfer agent may require that you provide additional
documentation,
or information, such as corporate resolutions or
powers
of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from a
Retirement
and Benefit Plan, you must complete the appropriate
distribution
form. |
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent at 1-800-959-4246. You will be
allowed
to redeem by telephone if:
▪ Your
redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on
record
(and there has been no change in your address of record
within
the last 15 days) or transferred electronically to a
pre-authorized
checking account;
▪ You
can provide proper identification information;
▪ Your
redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
▪ You
have not previously declined the telephone redemption
privilege.
|
|
You
may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an
Invesco
IRA by telephone. Redemptions from Employer Sponsored
Retirement
and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be
initiated
only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate
distribution
form, as well as employer authorization. You must call the
Funds’
transfer agent before the Funds’ net asset value
determination
(as defined by the applicable Fund) in order to effect
the
redemption at that day’s net asset value. |
|
Call
the Funds’ transfer agent’s 24-hour Automated Investor Line at

▪ You
have already provided proper bank information.
Redemptions
from Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit
Plans
and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be initiated only in writing
and
require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as
well
as employer authorization. |
*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by
telephone
at (800) 959-4246. |
Timing and Method of Payment
The
Funds’ transfer agent typically expects to pay redemption proceeds to redeeming shareholders within one business day after a redemption
request is received in good order, regardless of the method a Fund uses to make such payment. However, a Fund may take up to seven days
to process a redemption request. “Good order” means that all necessary information and documentation related to the redemption
request have been provided to the Funds’ transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable. If your request is not in good
order, the Funds’ transfer agent may require additional documentation in order to redeem your shares. If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten calendar days before your redemption proceeds are sent. This delay is
necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared. You can avoid the check hold period if you pay for your shares with a certified check,
a cashier’s check or a federal wire. Payment may be postponed under
unusual circumstances,
as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred,
is occurring, has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be provided in accordance with regulatory requirements.
This temporary hold will be for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review is performed. Should the internal
review support the belief that financial exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be attempted, the temporary
hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified
Adult” refers to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural person age 18 and older who is reasonably
believed to have a mental or physical impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the amount
of redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account. Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first class U.S. mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising
from actions taken in accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and
sales of portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed market conditions. The Funds also have the ability
to redeem in kind as further described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of credit, as disclosed
in such Funds’ principal investment strategy and risk disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market conditions.
Expedited Redemptions (for
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If
you place your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer
agent will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your account. If the Funds’
transfer agent receives your redemption order after 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of the
NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension of Redemptions
The
right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable
rules and regulations of the SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings, (c) the SEC has by order
permitted such suspension, or (d) an emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio securities or the valuation
of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end
of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government
money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to
the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board,
including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely
to occur, and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation
of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees
For
Invesco Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if
such fee is determined to be in the
best interest of the Fund.
The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser
or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of
extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation
and the day after which such 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 will 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.
Liquidity
fees 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund.
When a fee 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 is in effect. When a fee 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 as requested from time to time, including the rejection
of orders due to the imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation
of a fee. 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 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 may be paid by the Fund 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.
The
Funds’ transfer agent has previously provided
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
Until
December 31, 2023, 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. Effective
August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms and, effective December 31, 2023,
the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
for any reason, including
market fluctuation, 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.
A
low balance fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee)
may be deducted annually
from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined
by the Funds and the Adviser, and
may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Fee,
Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee 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 is
collected by the Funds'
transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used to reduce the expenses
that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds'
transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts
held in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan document provider or custodian for underlying participant
or IRA accounts. However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply
to each Fund Account (as appropriate) that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee,
change the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low Balance Fee at any time.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Where a
final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are
valued at the final settlement price
from the exchange where the option principally
trades. When a
final settlement price does not exist,
exchange traded options shall be valued
at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded rights and warrants shall be valued at
intrinsic value if the terms of the rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise price and the ratio.
Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model supplied by an independent pricing service may be used
based on market data such as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing service and strike price and exercise
period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated
quote provided by a clearing house or 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 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.
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.
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)
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:
■
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.
■
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.”
■
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:
■
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.
■
A
federal excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to share redemptions occurring on or after January
1, 2023, in accordance with the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the fair market value of Fund
share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a taxable
year basis.
■
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.
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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts
Please
note that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or
“escheat”) the assets in that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in which case a shareholder
may only be able to recover the amount received when the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts, the
escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board,
and the Fund's transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with state unclaimed or abandoned property
laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held directly with the
Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
•
Accessing your account online at invesco.com/us.
•
Accessing your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246 5463.
•
Contacting us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your account.
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.
If you have questions about an Invesco Fund
or your account, or you wish to obtain a free copy of the Fund’s current SAI, annual or semi-annual reports or Form N-PORT, please

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 the 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.
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
The Trust is an open-end management investment company. Each of the Funds is classified as "diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act. However, Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund may become “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization
or index weighting of one or more constituents of its target index. A non-diversified fund
can invest a greater percentage of its assets in a small number of issuers or any one issuer than a diversified
fund can.
Investment Strategies and Risks
Set forth below are detailed descriptions of the various types of securities and investment
techniques that Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers (as defined herein) may use in managing the Funds,
as well as the risks associated with those types of securities and investment techniques. The descriptions
of the types of securities and investment techniques below supplement the discussion of principal
investment strategies and risks contained in each Fund's Prospectus. Where a particular type of security or
investment technique is not discussed in a Fund’s Prospectus, that security or investment technique is not a principal investment strategy.
A Fund may invest in all of the following types of investments (unless otherwise indicated).
A Fund might not invest in all of these types of securities or use all of these techniques at any
one time. Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers may invest in other types of securities and may use other investment
techniques in managing the Funds, including those described below for Funds not specifically mentioned as investing
in the security or using the investment technique as well as securities and techniques not described. A Fund’s transactions in a particular type of security or use of a particular technique is subject to limitations imposed by a Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions described in that Fund’s Prospectus and/or this SAI, as well as the federal securities laws.
Unless a Fund’s prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage limitation or fundamental or non-fundamental restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time a Fund makes
an investment. That means a Fund is not required to sell securities to meet the percentage limits
or investment restrictions if the value of the investment increases in proportion to the size of a Fund. Percentage
limits on borrowing and illiquid investments 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 Fund’s voting securities unless otherwise indicated.
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. Invesco EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in
securities exchangeable for or convertible into equity securities of Asia Pacific
issuers. Invesco EQV European Equity Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities exchangeable
for or convertible into equity securities of European issuers. Invesco EQV International Equity Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities exchangeable for or convertible into marketable equity
securities of foreign issuers. Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth Fund does not currently expect that its holdings
of convertible securities or other debt securities will represent more than 5% of its total assets.
Convertible securities are generally bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or
other securities or investments that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into
shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio
or predetermined price (the conversion price). A convertible security is designed to provide current income
and also the potential for capital appreciation through the conversion feature, which enables the holder to benefit
from increases in the market price of the underlying common stock. A convertible security may be called
for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including
a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a Fund is called for redemption
or conversion, the Fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying
common stock, or sell it to a third party, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Convertible securities have general characteristics similar to both debt and equity
securities.
A convertible security generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued
until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible
securities have characteristics similar to non-convertible debt obligations and are designed to provide
for a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks. However, there can be no assurance
of current income because the issuers of the convertible securities may default on their obligations.
Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less risk than the corporation’s common stock. Convertible securities are subordinate in rank to any senior debt obligations of the issuer, and, therefore, an issuer’s convertible securities entail more risk than its debt obligations. Moreover, convertible securities are often rated below investment grade
or not rated because they fall below debt obligations and just above common stock in order of preference or priority on an issuer’s balance sheet. To the extent that a Fund invests in convertible securities with credit
ratings below investment grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although this may
be somewhat offset by the convertibility feature.
Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible
debt securities of similar credit quality because of the potential for capital appreciation. The common
stock underlying convertible securities may be issued by a different entity than the issuer of the
convertible securities.
The value of convertible securities is influenced by both the yield of non-convertible
securities of comparable issuers and by the value of the underlying common stock. The value of a
convertible security viewed without regard to its conversion feature (i.e., strictly on the basis of its
yield) is sometimes referred to as its “investment value.” The investment value of the convertible security typically will fluctuate based on the credit quality of the issuer and will fluctuate inversely with changes in prevailing
interest rates. However, at the same time, the convertible security will be influenced by its “conversion value,” which is the market value of the underlying common stock that would be obtained if the convertible security were
converted. Conversion value fluctuates directly with the price of the underlying common stock, and will
therefore be subject to risks relating to the activities of the issuer and general market and economic conditions.
Depending upon the relationship of the conversion price to the market value of the underlying security,
a convertible security may trade more like an equity security than a debt instrument.
If, because of a low price of the common stock, the conversion value is substantially
below the investment value of the convertible security, the price of the convertible security is governed
principally by its investment
value. Generally, if the conversion value of a convertible security increases to a
point that approximates or exceeds its investment value, the value of the security will be principally influenced
by its conversion value. A convertible security will sell at a premium over its conversion value to the extent
investors place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding an income-producing security.
While a Fund uses the same criteria to rate a convertible debt security that it uses
to rate a more conventional debt security, a convertible preferred stock is treated like a preferred stock for the Fund’s financial reporting, credit rating and investment limitation purposes.
Contingent Convertible Securities (CoCos). CoCos (also referred to as contingent capital securities) are a form of hybrid fixed income security typically issued by non-U.S. banks that may either
convert into common stock of the issuer or undergo a principal write-down by a predetermined percentage
upon the occurrence of a “trigger” event, such as if (a) the issuer’s capital ratio falls below a specified level or (b) certain regulatory events, such as a change in regulatory capital requirements, affect the issuer’s continued viability. Unlike traditional convertible securities, the conversion is not voluntary and the equity
conversion or principal write-down features are tailored to the issuing banking institution and its regulatory requirements. 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.
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. In addition, recent regulations promulgated by the SEC impose additional disclosure obligations
and other requirements on SPACs and may impact the ability of a SPAC to conduct its operations.
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. ELNs may be subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the 1933 Act). 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.
As of January 31, 2024, the countries included in Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund's target index, the
MSCI World SRI Index, were: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Investments by a Fund in foreign securities, including ADRs, EDRs and GDRs, whether
denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies, may entail all of the risks set forth below in
addition to those accompanying an investment in issuers in the United States.
Currency Risk. The value in U.S. dollars of a Fund’s non-dollar-denominated foreign investments will be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign
security decreases when the value of the U.S. dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security
is denominated and increases when the value of the U.S. dollar falls against such currency.
Political and Economic Risk. The economies of many countries may not be as developed as that of the United States’ economy and may be subject to significantly different forces. Political, economic or social instability and development, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and limitations
on the removal of funds or other assets could also adversely affect the value of portfolio investments. Certain
foreign companies may be
subject to sanctions, embargoes, or other governmental actions that may impair or
otherwise limit the ability to invest in, receive, hold or sell the securities of such companies. These factors may
affect the value of investments in those companies. 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. Further, war and military conflict between countries or in a region, for example the current conflicts in the
Ukraine and Middle East, may have an impact on the value of portfolio investments.
Regulatory Risk. Foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and are generally not subject
to the regulatory controls and disclosure requirements imposed on U.S. issuers and, as
a consequence, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign securities than is available
about domestic securities. Foreign companies may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards, corporate governance practices and requirements comparable to those applicable
to domestic companies. Therefore, financial information about foreign companies may be incomplete,
or may not be comparable to the information available on U.S. companies. Income from foreign securities
owned by the Funds may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce dividend
income payable to Fund shareholders.
There is generally less government supervision and regulation of securities exchanges,
brokers, dealers, and listed companies in foreign countries than in the U.S., thus increasing the risk
of delayed settlements of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities. Foreign markets
may also have different clearance and settlement procedures. If a Fund experiences settlement problems, it
may result in temporary periods when a portion of that Fund’s assets are uninvested and could cause it to miss attractive investment opportunities or create a potential liability to that Fund arising out of its inability
to fulfill a contract to sell such securities.
Market Risk. Investing in foreign markets generally involves certain risks not typically associated
with investing in the United States. The securities markets in many foreign countries will
have substantially lower trading volume than the U.S. markets. As a result, the securities of some foreign
companies may be less liquid and experience more price volatility than comparable domestic securities. Obtaining
and/or enforcing judgments in foreign countries may be more difficult, and there is generally less
government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and issuers, each of which may make
it more difficult to enforce contractual obligations. Increased custodian costs as well as administrative
costs (such as the need to use foreign custodians) may also be associated with the maintenance of assets in
foreign jurisdictions. In addition, transaction costs in foreign securities markets are likely to be higher,
since brokerage commission rates in foreign countries are likely to be higher than in the United States.
Risks of Developing/Emerging Market Countries. Each Fund may invest in securities of companies located in developing and emerging markets countries subject to any limits included in the 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; lack of willingness or ability of the Chinese government to support the economies
and markets of the Greater China region; difficulty in obtaining and/or enforcing judgments; lack of publicly available information; alteration or discontinuation of economic reforms; military conflicts and the risk of war, either internal or with other countries; public health emergencies resulting in market closures, travel restrictions, quarantines or other interventions; 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, sanctions, capital controls, embargoes, trade wars, 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. In addition, 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 value of such securities held by the Fund. Further, from time to time, certain companies in which
the Fund invests may operate in, or have dealings with, countries subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed
by the U.S. government and the United Nations and/or in countries the U.S. government identified
as state sponsors of terrorism. One or more of these companies may be subject to constraints under U.S.
law or regulations that could negatively affect the company’s performance.
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, generally, or with respect to certain industries, 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 Stock Connect Program) are securities trading and clearing programs through which the Funds can trade eligible listed China A-shares. The Stock Connect Program is subject to quota limitations, which may restrict or preclude a fund's ability to invest in Stock Connect securities. Foreign investors, individually and in the aggregate, are subject to ownership limitations from Shanghai or Shenzhen listed companies, including those purchased through the Stock Connect Program. Once the daily quota is reached, orders to purchase additional China A-shares through the Stock Connect Program will be rejected. Only certain China A-shares are eligible to be accessed through the Stock 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 Stock Connect Program. Because the Stock 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 Stock 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 Stock 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 Stock 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 Stock Connect Program in respect of eligible China A-shares must be settled in Renminbi (RMB), the Chinese
currency, the Funds investing through the Stock 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 Stock 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 Stock Connect Program due to time constraints or for other operational reasons.
Trades on the Stock 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. Additionally, there are foreign ownership limitations that may result in limitations on investment or the return of profits if a fund purchases and sells shares of an issuer in which it owns above a
certain threshold determined by China's securities rules. As a result, a Fund may not be able to execute trading freely in accordance with its investment strategy and the profits that the Fund derives from such investments may be limited.
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.
Foreign Government Obligations. Debt securities issued by foreign governments are often, but not always, supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign governments, or their
subdivisions, agencies or instrumentalities, that issue them. These securities involve the risks discussed above under “Foreign Securities”. Additionally, the issuer of the debt or the governmental authorities that control repayment of the debt may be unwilling or unable to pay interest or repay principal when due. Political
or economic changes or the balance of trade may affect a country’s willingness or ability to service its debt obligations. Periods of economic uncertainty may result in the volatility of market prices of sovereign debt
obligations, especially debt obligations issued by the governments of developing countries. Foreign government
obligations of developing countries, and some structures of emerging market debt securities, both of which are
generally below investment grade, are sometimes referred to as “Brady Bonds.” The failure of a sovereign debtor to implement economic reforms, achieve specified levels of economic performance, or repay principal
or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third-party commitments to lend funds to the sovereign
debtor, which may impair the debtor’s ability or willingness to service its debts.
Foreign Exchange Transactions. Each Fund may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities and has the authority to purchase and sell put and call options on foreign currencies
(foreign currency options), foreign currency futures contracts and related options, and currency-related swaps,
and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (i.e., for prompt delivery and settlement)
basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through forward foreign
currency contracts (see “Forward Foreign Currency Contracts”). The use of these instruments may result in a loss to 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 Fund
invests 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 Fund similarly may invest in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities made to and issued
by U.S. borrowers with significant non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenues; provided that the loans are U.S.
dollar-denominated or otherwise provide for payment to the Fund 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, or the currency
risk of the transaction will be hedged using forward foreign currency contracts.
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.
Eurozone Investment Risks. The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of most western European countries and a growing number of eastern European countries, collectively
known as “member states.” One of the key mandates of the EU is the establishment and administration of a common single market, consisting of, among other things, a single currency and a common trade
policy. In order to pursue this goal, member states established the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU),
which sets out different stages and commitments that member states need to follow to achieve greater
economic and monetary policy coordination, including the adoption of a single currency, the euro.
Many member states have adopted the euro as their currency and, as a result, are subject to the monetary policies
of the European Central Bank (ECB).
The global economic crisis that began in 2008 has caused severe financial difficulties
for many EU member states, pushing some to the brink of insolvency and causing others to experience
recession, large public debt, restructuring of government debt, credit rating downgrades and an overall
weakening of banking and financial sectors. Recovery from the crisis has been challenged by high unemployment
and budget deficits as well as by weaknesses in sovereign debt issued by Greece, Spain, Portugal,
the Republic of Ireland, Italy and other EU member states. The sovereign debt of several of these
countries was downgraded in 2012 and many remain subject to further downgrades, which may have a negative effect
on European and non-European banks that have significant exposure to sovereign debt. Since 2010, several
countries, including Greece, Italy, Spain, the Republic of Ireland and Portugal, agreed to multi-year
bailout loans from the ECB, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and other institutions. To address
budget deficits and public debt concerns, a number of European countries have imposed strict austerity measures
and comprehensive financial and labor market reforms.
Some EU member states may continue to be dependent on assistance from the ECB, the
IMF, or other governments and institutions. Such assistance could depend on a country’s implementation of reforms or attainment of a certain level of performance. Failure by one or more EU member states
to reach those objectives or an insufficient level of assistance could result in a deeper or prolonged
economic downturn, which could have a significant adverse effect on the value of investments in European
countries. By adopting the euro, a member state relinquishes control of its own monetary policies. As a result,
EU member states are significantly affected by fiscal and monetary controls implemented by the EMU and
may be limited to some degree from implementing their own economic policies. The euro may not fully reflect
the strengths and weaknesses of the various economies that comprise the EMU and Europe generally.
Additionally, it is possible that EMU member states could voluntarily abandon the
euro or involuntarily be forced out of the euro, including by way of a partial or complete dissolution of the
EMU. The effects of such outcomes on the rest of the Eurozone and global markets as a whole are unpredictable,
but are likely to be negative, including adversely impacted market values of Eurozone and various other
securities and currencies, redenomination of certain securities into less valuable local currencies,
and more volatile and illiquid markets. Under such circumstances, investments denominated in euros or replacement
currencies may be difficult to value, the ability to operate an investment strategy in connection
with euro-denominated securities may be significantly impaired and the value of euro-denominated investments
may decline significantly and unpredictably. Furthermore, the United Kingdom’s (“UK”) departure from the EU, known as “Brexit,” may have significant political and financial consequences for Eurozone markets, including greater market volatility and illiquidity, currency fluctuations, deterioration in economic
activity, a decrease in business confidence and an increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. Uncertainty relating
to the withdrawal procedures and timeline may have adverse effects on asset valuations and the renegotiation
of current trade agreements, as well as an increase in financial regulation of UK banks. While the
full impact of Brexit is unknown, market disruption in the EU and globally may have a negative effect on the value of the Fund’s investments. Additionally, the risks related to Brexit could be more pronounced if
one or more additional EU member states seek to leave the EU.
Risks Related to Armed Conflict. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region, for
example the current conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and Israel in the Middle
East, has the potential to adversely impact Fund investments. Such conflicts, 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 The timing and duration of such conflicts, resulting sanctions,
related events and other implications 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 issuers located in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or geographic
region.
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.”
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Most ETFs are registered under the 1940 Act as investment companies, although others may not be registered as investment companies and are registered
as commodity pools. Therefore, a Fund’s purchase of shares of an ETF may be subject to the restrictions on investments in other investment companies discussed under “Other Investment Companies.” ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. The Fund may invest in ETFs advised by unaffiliated advisers
as well as ETFs advised by Invesco Capital Management LLC (Invesco Capital). Invesco, the Sub-Advisers
and Invesco Capital are affiliates of each other as they are all indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
of Invesco Ltd.
Generally, ETFs hold portfolios of securities, commodities and/or currencies that
are designed to replicate, as closely as possible before expenses, the performance of a specified
market index. The performance results of ETFs will not replicate exactly the performance of the pertinent
index due to transaction and other expenses, including fees to service providers, borne by ETFs.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the portfolio of securities, commodities and/or currencies purchased
by an ETF will replicate a particular index. Some ETFs are actively managed and instead of replicating
a particular index they seek to outperform it, or outperform a basket of securities or price of a commodity
or currency.
Only Authorized Participants (APs) may engage in creation or redemption transactions
directly with ETFs. ETF shares are sold to and redeemed by APs at net asset value only in large blocks
called creation units and redemption units, respectively. Such market makers have no obligation to submit creation
or redemption orders; consequently, there is no assurance that market makers will establish or maintain
an active trading market for ETF shares. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are
unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to an ETF and no other AP is able to
step forward to create or redeem units of an ETF, an ETF’s shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. ETF shares may be purchased
and sold by all other investors in secondary market trading on national securities exchanges, which allows
investors to purchase and sell ETF shares at their market price throughout the day.
Investments in ETFs generally present the same primary risks as an investment in a
conventional mutual fund that has the same investment objective, strategy and policies. Investments in
ETFs further involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the types of securities, commodities
and/or currencies included in the indices the ETFs are designed to replicate. In addition, shares of
an ETF may trade at a market price that is higher or lower than their net asset value and an active trading
market in such shares may not develop or continue. Moreover, trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action to be appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or
the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Exchange-Traded Notes (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
Each of Invesco EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund, Invesco EQV European Equity Fund and Invesco EQV International Equity Fund may invest up to 20% of their respective assets in high
grade short-term debt securities including U.S. government obligations and investment grade corporate bonds,
whether denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies.
Invesco Global Focus Fund normally does not intend to invest more than 10% of its
total assets in debt securities. Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth Fund does not currently expect
that its holdings of convertible securities or other debt securities will represent more than 5% of its
total assets.
U.S. Government Obligations. U.S. government obligations are obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and include, bills, notes and
bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as "stripped" or "zero coupon" U.S. Treasury obligations.
U.S. government obligations may be, (i) supported by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Treasury, (ii) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) supported
by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the agency’s obligations, or (iv) supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. There is a risk that the U.S. government may choose not to provide
financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated
to do so. In that case, if the issuer were to default, 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.
Index-Linked Notes. Invesco Global Opportunities Fund may invest in index-linked notes. Index-linked
notes are debt securities whose principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance
of an underlying index. This type of indexed security offers the potential for increased
income or principal payments but involves greater risk of loss than a typical debt security of the same maturity
and credit quality.
Temporary Investments. Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in affiliated money market funds or in other types of money market instruments in which those funds would invest or
other short-term U.S. government securities for cash management purposes. Each Fund may invest up to 100%
of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies for temporary defensive purposes in anticipation of or in response to adverse market, economic, political
or other conditions, or atypical circumstances such as unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. As a result,
the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Changing Interest Rates. In a low or negative interest rate environment, debt securities may trade at, or
be issued with, negative yields, which means the purchaser of the security may receive
at maturity less than the total amount invested. In addition, in a negative interest rate environment, if
a bank charges negative interest, instead of receiving interest on deposits, a depositor must pay the bank
fees to keep money with the bank. To the extent a Fund holds a negatively-yielding debt security or has a bank
deposit with a negative interest rate, the Fund would generate a negative return on that investment. Cash
positions may also subject a Fund to increased counterparty risk to the Fund's bank. Debt market conditions are
highly unpredictable and some parts of the market are subject to dislocations. In the past, the U.S. government
and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to stabilize markets by, among other things, reducing
interest rates. To the extent such actions are pursued, they present heightened risks to debt securities,
and such risks could be even further heightened if these actions are unexpectedly or suddenly reversed or
are ineffective in achieving their desired outcomes. In recent years, the U.S. government began implementing increases
to the federal funds interest rate and there may be further rate increases. As interest rates rise,
there is risk that rates
across the financial system also may rise. To the extent rates increase substantially
and/or rapidly, the Funds may be subject to significant losses.
In a low or negative interest rate environment, some investors may seek to reallocate
assets to other income-producing assets. This may cause the price of such higher yielding instruments
to rise, could further reduce the value of instruments with a negative yield, and may limit a Fund's ability
to locate fixed income instruments containing the desired risk/return profile. Changing interest rates, including,
rates that fall below zero, could have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed income
markets to heightened volatility, increased redemptions, and potential illiquidity.
With respect to a money market fund, which seeks to maintain a stable $1.00 price
per share, a low or negative interest rate environment could impact the money market fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price. During a negative interest rate environment causing a money market fund to have a negative gross yield, the money market fund may reduce the number of shares outstanding on a pro rata basis
through reverse distribution mechanisms or other mechanisms to seek to maintain a stable $1.00 price per share, subject to approval of the Board and to the extent permissible by applicable law and its organizational documents. A money market fund that implements share cancellation would continue to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price by use of the amortized cost method of valuation and/or penny rounding
method but the value of an investor’s investment would decline if the fund reduces the number of shares held by the investor. 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. A money market fund that floats its NAV would no longer maintain a stable $1.00 share price and instead have a share price that fluctuates.
An investor in a money market fund that floats its NAV would lose money if the investor sells their
shares when they are worth less than what the investor originally paid for them.
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). A CLN is a security structured and issued by an issuer, which may be a bank, broker or special purpose vehicle. If a CLN is issued by a special purpose vehicle,
the special purpose vehicle will typically be collateralized by AAA-rated securities, but some CLNs are
not collateralized. The performance and payment of principal and interest is tied to that of a reference obligation
which may be a particular security, basket of securities, credit default swap, basket of credit default
swaps, or index. The reference obligation may be denominated in foreign currencies. Risks of CLNs include
those risks associated with the underlying reference obligation including, but not limited to, market risk,
interest rate risk, credit risk, default risk and foreign currency risk. In the case of a CLN created with credit default
swaps, the structure will be “funded” such that the par amount of the security will represent the maximum loss that could be incurred on the investment and no leverage is introduced. An investor in a CLN also bears counterparty
risk or the risk that the issuer of the CLN will default or become bankrupt and not make timely payments
of principal and interest on the structured security. Should the issuer default or declare bankruptcy,
the CLN holder may not receive any compensation. In return for these risks, the CLN holder receives a higher
yield. As with most derivative instruments, valuation of a CLN may be difficult due to the complexity
of the security.
Bank Instruments. Bank instruments are unsecured interest bearing bank deposits. Bank instruments include, but are not limited to, certificates of deposit, time deposits, and banker’s acceptances from U.S. or foreign banks, as well as Eurodollar certificates of deposit (Eurodollar CDs) and
Eurodollar time deposits of foreign branches of domestic banks. Some certificates of deposit are negotiable interest-bearing
instruments with a specific maturity issued by banks and savings and loan institutions in exchange
for the deposit of funds, and can typically be traded in the secondary market prior to maturity. Other
certificates of deposit, like time deposits, are non-negotiable receipts issued by a bank in exchange for the deposit
of funds which earns a specified rate of interest over a definite period of time; however, it cannot be
traded in the secondary market. A banker’s acceptance is a bill of exchange or time draft drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank.
An investment in Eurodollar CDs or Eurodollar time deposits may involve some of the
same risks that are described for Foreign Securities.
Commercial Instruments. Commercial instruments include commercial paper, master notes and other short-term corporate instruments, that are denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign
currencies.
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, but are not limited to, 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, 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.
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.
Investment Grade Debt Obligations. Debt obligations include, among others, bonds, notes, debentures or variable rate demand notes. They may be U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations
issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or U.S. commercial banks, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations
of foreign issuers or debt obligations of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies.
The Adviser considers investment grade securities to include: (i) securities rated
BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) short-term securities with comparable NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to
be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by NRSROs in evaluating the credit risk of securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do
not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively
or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer. 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. The Fund’s Adviser internally assigns ratings to unrated securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to
those of NRSROs. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Fund’s Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a NRSRO. 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). Invesco Global Opportunities Fund can invest up to 25% of its assets in below-investment-grade debt securities. Further, Invesco Global Opportunities Fund can invest in securities rated as low as “C” or “D” (or unrated securities that the Adviser believes are of comparable quality) or that may be in default at the time of purchase. 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 the 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.
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.
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.
Over time, the customary terms of loans have evolved such that they are no longer
accompanied by the various restrictive covenants that historically accompanied most loans and that were
in favor of the investor. Newly originated loans (including reissuances and restructured loans) in which a Fund
may invest have varied terms and conditions, but generally contain few or no financial maintenance covenants.
Financial
maintenance covenants are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial
metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels of cash flow or limiting leverage.
In the event of financial deterioration on the part of the borrower, these covenants are included to permit
the lenders to renegotiate the terms of the loan, such as increasing the borrowing costs to the borrower, or to take
other actions which would improve the position of the lender. Accordingly, the Fund may experience difficulty
or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of loans, which may result in losses to the Fund,
especially during a downturn in the credit cycle. Although loans may 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 or Sub-Adviser will seek to take appropriate action without the help of covenants in the loans.
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.
In general, floating rate loans and debt securities typically have stated maturities of three to ten years. However, because floating rate loans and debt securities are frequently prepaid, it
is generally expected that the average maturity will be less. 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.
Companies involved in significant restructuring tend to be subject to increased litigation
risk, including for investors in these companies, such as the Funds. Expenses of asserting, or defending
against, claims in connection with such restructurings are generally directly or indirectly borne by the Funds. See also “Litigation Risk.” herein.
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 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 historically have had contractual terms designed to protect Lenders, which 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 historically have had 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.
Over time, the customary terms of loans have evolved such that they are no longer
accompanied by the various restrictive covenants that historically accompanied most loans and that were
in favor of the investor. Newly originated loans (including reissuances and restructured loans) in which a Fund
may invest have varied terms and conditions, but generally contain few or no financial maintenance covenants.
Financial maintenance covenants are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial
metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels of cash flow or limiting leverage.
In the event of financial deterioration on the part of the borrower, these covenants are included to permit
the lenders to renegotiate the terms of the loan, such as increasing the borrowing costs to the borrower, or to take
other actions which would improve the position of the lender. Accordingly, the Fund may experience difficulty
or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of loans, which may result in losses to the Fund,
especially during a downturn in the credit cycle. Although loans may 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 or Sub-Adviser will seek to take appropriate action without the help of covenants in the loans.
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.
Investments in Pooled Investment Entities that Invest in Loans. Certain Funds can buy interests in trusts and other pooled entities (including other investment companies) that invest
primarily or exclusively in loan obligations, including entities sponsored or advised by the Adviser or an affiliate.
The loans underlying these investments may include loans to foreign or U.S. borrowers, may be collateralized
or uncollateralized and may be rated investment-grade or below, or may be unrated. These investments are
subject to risks applicable to loan investments, including the risk of default by the borrower, interest
rate and prepayment risk. The Fund will be subject to the pooled entity’s credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans. There is a risk that a borrower of the underlying loan may have difficulty making
payments. If a borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal payments, the Fund’s income may be reduced and the value of the investment in the pooled entity might also decline.
Structured Notes and Indexed Securities. Structured notes are derivative debt instruments, the interest rate or principal of which is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices
or other financial
indicators (reference instruments). Indexed securities may include structured notes
and other securities wherein the interest rate or principal is determined by a reference instrument.
Most structured notes and indexed securities are fixed income securities that have
maturities of three years or less. The interest rate or the principal amount payable at maturity of an
indexed security may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a floating
interest rate compared with a fixed interest rate. The reference instrument need not be related to the terms
of the indexed security. Structured notes and indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e.,
their principal value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates),
and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument
or to one or more options on the underlying reference instrument.
Structured notes and indexed securities may entail a greater degree of market risk
than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instrument. Structured
notes or indexed securities also may be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to accurately
price than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities. In addition to the
credit risk of the structured note or indexed security’s issuer and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease
as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Further, in the case of certain
structured notes or indexed securities in which the interest rate, or exchange rate in the case of currency, is
linked to a reference instrument, the rate may be increased or decreased or the terms may provide that,
under certain circumstances, the principal amount payable on maturity may be reduced to zero resulting
in a loss to the Fund.
Event-Linked Bonds. Investments may be made in “event-linked” bonds or interests in trusts and other pooled entities that invest primarily or exclusively in event-linked bonds, including
entities sponsored and/or advised by Invesco or its affiliates.
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.”
U.S. Corporate Debt Obligations. Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in debt securities under normal
circumstances. Corporate debt obligations are debt obligations issued or guaranteed by corporations that are
denominated in U.S. dollars. Such investments may include, among others, commercial paper, bonds, notes,
debentures, variable rate demand notes, master notes, funding agreements and other short-term corporate
instruments. Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial
paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Variable rate demand notes are
securities with a variable interest which is readjusted on pre-established dates. Variable rate demand notes
are subject to payment of principal and accrued interest (usually within seven days) on a Fund’s demand. Master notes are negotiated notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates
of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet the credit quality criteria of the Fund. The interest
rate on a master note may fluctuate based upon changes in specified interest rates or be reset periodically
according to a prescribed formula or may be a set rate. Although there is no secondary market in
master notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the
note upon relatively short notice. Funding agreements are agreements between an insurance company and a
Fund covering underlying demand notes. Although there is no secondary market in funding agreements,
if the underlying notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount
of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes and funding agreements are generally illiquid
and therefore subject to the Funds' percentage limitation for illiquid investments.
Regulation S Securities. Regulation S securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the
1933 Act. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be conducted outside of the United States, and Regulation
S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal or contractual restrictions on resale.
Although Regulation S securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the price realized from these
sales could be less than that originally paid by a Fund. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded
may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable
if their securities were publicly traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of
business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs are trusts that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interest therein. A REIT may focus
on particular projects, such as apartment complexes, or geographic regions, such as the southeastern United States
or both. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive income
primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling property
that has appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages
and derive income from the collection of interest payments.
Investments in REITs may be subject to many of the same risks as direct investments
in real estate. These risks include difficulties in valuing and trading real estate, declines in the
value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, adverse changes in the climate for
real estate, environmental liability risks, increases in property taxes and operating expenses,
changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values,
the appeal of properties to tenants, heavy cash flow dependency and increases in interest rates.
To the extent that a Fund invests in REITs, the Fund could conceivably acquire real estate directly as a result
of a default on the REIT interests or obligations it owns.
In addition to the risks of direct real estate investment described above, equity
REITs may be affected by any changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the trusts, while mortgage
REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are also subject to the following
risks: they are
dependent upon management skill and on cash flows; are not diversified; are subject
to defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to maintain an exemption
from the 1940 Act; and are subject to interest rate risk. A Fund that invests in REITs will bear a proportionate
share of the expenses of the REITs.
Furthermore, for tax reasons, a REIT may impose limits on how much of its securities
any one investor may own. These ownership limitations (also called “excess share provisions”) may be based on ownership of securities by multiple funds and accounts managed by the same investment adviser and
typically result in adverse consequences (such as automatic divesture of voting and dividend rights for
shares that exceed the excess share provision) to investors who exceed the limit. A REIT’s excess share provision may result in a Fund being unable to purchase (or otherwise obtain economic exposure to) the desired
amounts of certain REITs. In some circumstances, a Fund may seek and obtain a waiver from a REIT to exceed the REIT’s ownership limitations without being subject to the adverse consequences of exceeding
such limit were a waiver not obtained, provided that the Fund complies with the provisions of the waiver.
Real Estate Operating Companies. A REOC is similar to a REIT in that both may own and operate commercial and other real estate properties or make other real estate investments.
A REOC has not elected to be taxed as a REIT, however. As a result, a REOC has fewer restrictions on its
investments and does not typically pay any specific level of income. A REOC may reinvest all of its cash flow
from operations back into the company which allows it to, for example, finance acquisitions and development
projects to grow its business. REOCs do not benefit from the favorable tax treatment that is accorded to
REITs, however.
Initial Public Offerings. IPOs of securities issued by unseasoned companies with little or no operating history are risky and their prices are highly volatile, but they can result in very
large gains in their initial trading. Attractive IPOs are often oversubscribed and may not be available to a Fund,
or only in very limited quantities. Thus, when a Fund’s size is smaller, any gains from IPOs will have an exaggerated impact on the Fund’s reported performance than when the Fund is larger. A Fund may engage in short-term trading in connection with its IPO investments, which could produce higher trading costs and
adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that a Fund will have favorable IPO investment
opportunities.
Other Investment Companies. Unless otherwise indicated in this SAI or in a Fund’s prospectus, a Fund may purchase shares of other investment companies, including 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 subject to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Partnerships do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level, subject
to the application of certain partnership audit rules. Rather, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change in the underlying
business mix of a given MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as
state and local income taxes) on its taxable income. This would have the effect of reducing the amount of
cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the value of the Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to the Fund. Also, to the extent a distribution received by a Fund from
an MLP is treated as a return of capital, the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which may increase the Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent distributions in respect of such interests.
Private Equity and Debt Investments. Privately issued securities, which include private investments in public equity (PIPEs), and private debt investments, involve an extraordinarily high
degree of business and financial risk and can result in substantial or complete losses. Some portfolio companies
in which the Fund may invest may be operating at a loss or with substantial variations in operating
results from period to period and may need substantial additional capital to support expansion or to achieve or
maintain competitive positions. Such companies may face intense competition, including competition from
companies with much greater financial resources, much more extensive development, production, marketing
and service capabilities and a much larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel. The Fund
can offer no assurance that the marketing efforts of any particular portfolio company will be successful
or that its business will succeed. Additionally, privately held companies are not subject to SEC reporting requirements
or the reporting requirements of publicly traded companies in applicable jurisdictions, are not required
to maintain their accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
are not required to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, the Adviser
may not have timely or accurate information about the business, financial conditions and results of operations
of the privately held companies in which the Fund invests. The more limited financial information and lack
of publicly available prices require a Fund to determine a fair value for such investments in accordance
with the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. Difficulty in valuing such investments
may make it difficult to accurately determine a Fund's exposure to privately issued securities. The Fund’s NAV could be adversely
affected if the Fund’s determinations regarding the fair value of the Fund’s investments were materially higher than the values that the Fund ultimately realizes upon the disposal of such investments.
In addition, input from the Adviser’s investment professionals as part of the Fund’s valuation process could result in a conflict of interest as the Adviser’s management fee is based, in part, on the value of the Fund’s assets.
Investments in private companies may be considered to be illiquid and may be difficult
to sell at a desirable time or at the prices at which the Fund has valued the investments. Additional
risks include that the Fund could be subject to contingent liabilities in the event a private issuer is acquired
by another company during the period it is held by the Fund; and that the company may be using excessive
leverage. Privately issued debt securities can often be below investment grade quality and frequently
are unrated.
Private (Unregistered) Investment Companies. Securities of private investment companies, including "hedge funds" and private equity funds, are not registered with the SEC and may not
be registered with any other regulatory authority. Accordingly, they are not subject to certain oversight
and regulatory requirements to which registered issuers are subject, including requirements of a certain degree of
liquidity, limiting how much can be invested in a single investment, requiring that fund shares be redeemable,
protecting against conflicts of interest, assuring fairness in pricing of fund shares, and limiting the use of
leverage. They are typically not required to provide investors with information about their underlying holdings, fees
and expenses and there may be very little public information available about their investments and performance.
Additionally, because sales of shares of private investment companies are generally restricted to certain
qualified purchasers, such shares may be illiquid and it could be difficult for the fund to sell its shares at
an advantageous price and time. Registered fund units may not be redeemable at the investor’s option and there may not be a secondary market for the sale of unregistered fund units. The Fund may not be able to get the
money invested in an unregistered fund back. Moreover, unlike registered mutual funds, because shares of
private investment companies are not publicly traded there typically are no specific rules on fund pricing,
and a fair value for the fund’s investment typically will have to be determined under the valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. As with investments in publicly-registered investment companies,
if the Fund invests in a private investment company, the Fund will be subject to its proportionate share of
the advisory fees, including incentive compensation and other operating expenses. These fees can be substantial
and would be in addition to the advisory fees and other operating expenses incurred by the Fund.
Investments in the securities of private investment companies are subject to the Fund’s limitations on investment in illiquid securities, unless Invesco and/or the Sub-Advisers determines
that such securities are otherwise liquid under guidelines adopted by the Board.
Investing in Special Situations. At times, investment benefit may be sought from what a portfolio manager considers to be “special situations,” such as mergers, reorganizations, restructurings or other unusual events, that are expected to affect a particular issuer. There is a risk that
the expected change or event might not occur, which could cause the price of the security to fall, perhaps
sharply. In that case, the investment might not produce the expected gains or might cause a loss. This is an
aggressive investment technique that may be considered speculative.
Cyclical Opportunities. At times, a Fund might seek to take advantage of short-term market movements or changes in the business cycle by investing in companies or industries that are
sensitive to those changes. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in consumer durables and the
technology sector might benefit. There is a risk that if a cyclical event does not have the anticipated
effect, or when the issuer or industry is out of phase in the business cycle, the value of the portfolio investments
could fall.
Private Investments in Public Equity. Private investments in public equity (PIPES) are equity securities in a private placement that are issued by issuers who have outstanding, publicly-traded
equity securities of the same class. Shares in PIPES generally are not registered with the SEC until after
a certain time period from the date the private sale is completed. This restricted period can last many
months. Until the public registration process is completed, PIPES are restricted as to resale and the Fund
cannot freely trade the securities. Generally, such restrictions cause the PIPES to be illiquid during this
time. PIPES may contain provisions that the issuer will pay specified financial penalties to the holder if
the issuer does not publicly
register the restricted equity securities within a specified period of time, but there
is no assurance that the restricted equity securities will be publicly registered, or that the registration
will remain in effect.
Distressed Debt Securities. Distressed debt securities are securities that are the subject of bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise in default or in risk of being in default as to the repayment
of principal and/or interest at the time of acquisition by a Fund or that are rated in the lower rating
categories by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (for example, Ca or lower by Moody’s and CC or lower by S&P or Fitch) or, if unrated, are in the judgment of the Adviser or Sub-Adviser of
equivalent quality (“Distressed Securities”). Investment in Distressed Securities is speculative and involves significant risks. Each Fund will generally make such investments only when the Adviser or Sub-Adviser
believes it is reasonably likely that the issuer of the Distressed Securities will make an exchange
offer or will be the subject of a plan of reorganization pursuant to which a Fund will receive new securities in
return for the Distressed Securities. However, there can be no assurance that such an exchange offer will be
made or that such a plan of reorganization will be adopted. Additionally, a significant period of time may
pass between the time at which a Fund makes its investment in Distressed Securities and the time that any such exchange
offer or plan of reorganization is completed, if at all. During this period, it is unlikely that a
Fund would receive any interest payments on the Distressed Securities, a Fund will be subject to significant uncertainty
as to whether or not the exchange offer or plan of reorganization will be completed and a Fund may be required
to bear certain extraordinary expenses to protect and recover its investment. Therefore, a Fund’s ability to achieve current income for its shareholders may be diminished. Each Fund also will be subject to significant
uncertainty as to when and in what manner and for what value the obligations evidenced by the distressed
securities will eventually be satisfied (e.g., through a liquidation of the obligor’s assets, an exchange offer or plan of reorganization involving the distressed securities or a payment of some amount in
satisfaction of the obligation). Even if an exchange offer is made or plan of reorganization is adopted
with respect to Distressed Securities held by a Fund, there can be no assurance that the securities or other
assets received by the Fund in connection with such exchange offer or plan of reorganization will not have a lower
value or income potential than may have been anticipated when the investment was made or no value.
Moreover, any securities received by a Fund upon completion of an exchange offer or plan of reorganization
may be restricted as to resale. Similarly, if a Fund participates in negotiations with respect
to any exchange offer or plan of reorganization with respect to an issuer of Distressed Securities, a Fund
may be restricted from disposing of such securities. To the extent that a Fund becomes involved in such proceedings,
the Fund may have a more active participation in the affairs of the issuer than that assumed generally
by an investor. Each Fund, however, will not make investments for the purpose of exercising day-to-day
management of any issuer’s affairs.
Defaulted Securities. Defaulted securities are debt securities on which the issuer is not currently making
interest payments. In order to enforce its rights in defaulted securities, a Fund
may be required to participate in legal proceedings or take possession of and manage assets securing the issuer’s obligations on the defaulted securities. This could increase operating expenses and adversely affect
net asset value. Risks of defaulted securities may be considerably higher as they are generally unsecured and
subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Investments in defaulted securities generally will also be
considered illiquid investments subject to the limitations described herein, except as otherwise may be
determined under the Trust’s applicable policies and procedures.
Variable or Floating Rate Instruments. Variable or floating rate instruments are securities that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the obligation. The interest
rates for securities with variable interest rates are readjusted on set dates (such as the last day of the month
or calendar quarter) and the interest rates for securities with floating rates are reset whenever a specified
interest rate change occurs. Variable or floating interest rates generally reduce changes in the market price of
securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate market rates. Accordingly,
as market interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation
is less for variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable
or floating interest rates have a demand feature allowing the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued
interest prior to its maturity. The terms of such demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued
interest by the
issuer, a guarantor, and/or a liquidity provider. All variable or floating rate instruments
will meet the applicable rating standards of the Funds. A Fund’s Adviser, or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund’s rating standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those rating standards.
Zero Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Securities. Zero coupon securities do not pay interest or principal until final maturity, unlike debt securities that traditionally provide periodic payments
of interest (referred to as a coupon payment). Investors must wait until maturity to receive interest and principal,
which increases the interest rate and credit risks of a zero coupon security. Pay-in-kind securities are
securities that have interest payable by delivery of additional securities. Upon maturity, the holder is entitled
to receive the aggregate par value of the securities. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to
greater fluctuation in value and lower liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated
securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Investors may purchase zero coupon and
pay-in-kind securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. The difference between the purchase
price and the amount paid at maturity represents “original issue discount” on the security.
Premium Securities. Premium securities are securities bearing coupon rates higher than the then prevailing market rates.
Premium securities are typically purchased at a “premium,” in other words, at a price greater than the principal amount payable on maturity. The Fund will not amortize the premium paid
for such securities in calculating its net investment income. As a result, in such cases the purchase of
premium securities provides the Fund a higher level of investment income distributable to shareholders on a current
basis than if the Fund purchased securities bearing current market rates of interest. However, the yield
on these securities would remain at the current market rate. If securities purchased by the Fund at a premium
are called or sold prior to maturity, the Fund will realize a loss to the extent the call or sale price is less
than the purchase price. Additionally, the Fund will realize a loss of principal if it holds such securities
to maturity.
Stripped Income Securities. Stripped Income Securities are obligations representing an interest in all or a portion of the income or principal components of an underlying or related security,
a pool of securities, or other assets. Stripped income securities may be partially stripped so that each class
receives some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped, where one class will
receive all of the interest (the interest-only class or the IO class), while the other class will receive all
of the principal (the principal-only class or the PO class).
The market values of stripped income securities tend to be more volatile in response
to changes in interest rates than are conventional income securities. In the case of mortgage-backed
stripped income securities, the yields to maturity of IOs and POs may be very sensitive to principal
repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages resulting in 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.
Senior Secured Floating Rate Securities. The Funds may invest in senior secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt instruments made to or issued by borrowers (which
may include U.S. and non-U.S. companies) that (i) have variable rates which adjust to a base rate,
such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), on set dates, typically every 30 days but not to exceed one year; and/or (ii) have
interest rates that float at a margin above a generally recognized base lending rate
such as the Prime Rate of a designated U.S. bank.
Forward Commitments, When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund may purchase and sell securities on a forward commitment, when-issued,
and delayed delivery basis whereby the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery
taking place in the future. No more than 5% of Invesco Global Opportunities Fund’s net assets can be invested in participation interests of the same borrower. Securities purchased or sold on a forward commitment,
when-issued or delayed delivery basis involve delivery and payment that take place in the future
after the trade date or the date of the commitment to purchase or sell the securities at a pre-determined price
and/or yield. Settlement of such transactions normally occurs a month or more after the purchase or sale commitment
is made. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered. Forward commitments include “to be announced” (TBA) transactions, which are contracts for the purchase and sale of mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. agencies or government sponsored enterprises
for delivery at a future settlement date agreed upon by the two parties to the transaction, which is typically
a month or more after the trade date of the transaction. On the trade date of a TBA transaction, the counterparties
agree upon certain criteria for the securities that are to be delivered, including the issuer, maturity,
coupon, face value and price, but the precise securities to be delivered are not specified. Instead, the actual
securities to be delivered, which must satisfy the specified criteria, are communicated by the seller to the buyer
shortly before the agreed upon settlement date. Although a Fund generally intends to acquire or dispose
of securities on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis, a Fund may instead sell
these securities or its commitment before the settlement date if deemed advisable. This will frequently be
the case for TBA transactions and other forward-settling mortgage-backed securities transactions. No
specific limitation exists as to the percentage of the Fund’s assets which may be used to acquire securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis.
When purchasing a security on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery
basis, a Fund assumes the risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. Securities purchased
on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis are subject to changes in value based upon the public’s
perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes, real or anticipated,
in the level of interest rates. Accordingly, securities acquired on such a basis may expose a Fund to risks because
they may experience such fluctuations prior to actual delivery. Purchasing securities on a forward commitment,
when-issued or delayed delivery basis may involve the additional risk that the yield available in
the market when the delivery takes place actually may be higher than that obtained in the transaction itself.
Many forward commitments, when-issued and delayed delivery transactions, including
TBAs, are also subject to the risk that a counterparty may become bankrupt or otherwise fail to perform
its obligations due to financial difficulties, including making payments or fulfilling delivery obligations
to a Fund. A Fund may obtain no or only limited recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganizational proceedings,
and any recovery may be significantly delayed. With respect to TBA transactions and other forward-settling
mortgage-backed securities transactions, the counterparty risk may be mitigated by the exchange of variation
margin between the counterparties on a regular basis as the market value of the deliverable security
fluctuates.
Investment in these types of securities may increase the possibility that the Fund
will incur short-term gains subject to federal taxation or short-term losses if the Fund must engage in
portfolio transactions in order to honor its commitment. In the case of a purchase transaction, the delayed delivery
securities, which will not begin to accrue interest or dividends until the settlement date, will be recorded
as an asset of a Fund and will be subject to the risk of market fluctuation. The purchase price of the delayed delivery
securities is a liability of a Fund until settlement. TBA transactions and other forward-settling mortgage-backed
securities transactions may be effected pursuant to a collateral agreement with the counterparty under which
the parties exchange collateral consisting of cash or liquid securities in an amount as specified by the
agreement that is based on the change in the market value of the TBA transactions governed by the agreement.
A Fund or the counterparty will make payments throughout the term of the transaction as collateral
values fluctuate to maintain full collateralization for the term of the transaction. Collateral will be
marked-to-market every business day. If the counterparty defaults on the transaction or declares bankruptcy
or insolvency, a Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, or the Fund might experience delay and
costs in recovering collateral or may suffer a loss if the value of the collateral declines.
Short Sales. A Fund may engage in short sales and may also make short sales against the box.
The Funds do not currently intend to engage in short sales of securities other than short
sales of securities that a Fund owns or has the right to obtain (short sales against the box).
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.
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. None of the Funds will 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. 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 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.
Currently, the Adviser does not anticipate that under normal market conditions, Invesco Global Fund’s borrowings would exceed 5% of its net assets.
Lending Portfolio Securities. A Fund may lend its portfolio securities (principally to brokers, dealers or other financial institutions) to generate additional income.Such loans are callable
at any time and are continuously secured by segregated collateral equal to no less than the market value,
determined daily, of the loaned securities. Such collateral will be cash, letters of credit, or debt securities
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies. Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to
the extent of one-third of its total assets. A Fund will loan its securities only to parties that Invesco has
determined are in good standing and when, in Invesco’s judgment, the potential income earned would justify the risks.
Although voting rights may pass with the lending of portfolio securities, a Fund will
be entitled to call loaned securities, or otherwise obtain rights to vote or consent, when deemed necessary
by Invesco with respect to a material event affecting securities on loan. The Fund would receive income
in lieu of dividends on loaned securities and may, at the same time, generate income on the loan collateral
or on the investment of any cash collateral.
If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because
of insolvency or other reasons, a Fund could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned
or gaining access to the collateral. If the Fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, the Fund may
sell the collateral and purchase a replacement security in the market. Lending securities entails a risk of
loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the loaned securities increases and the collateral
is not increased accordingly.
Any cash received as collateral for loaned securities will be invested, in accordance with a Fund’s investment guidelines, in short-term money market instruments, affiliated unregistered
investment companies that are compliant with Rule 2a-7 or Affiliated Money Market Funds. Investing this
cash subjects that investment to market appreciation or depreciation. For purposes of determining whether
a Fund is complying with its investment policies, strategies and restrictions, the Fund will consider
the loaned securities as assets of the Fund, but will not consider any collateral received as a Fund asset. The Fund
will bear any loss on the investment of cash collateral.
For a discussion of tax considerations relating to lending portfolio securities, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters — Tax Matters — Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Securities Lending.”
Repurchase Agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions involving the types of securities in which it is permitted to invest.
Repurchase agreements are agreements under which a Fund purchases a security from
a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase that security at a mutually agreed upon time and
price (which is higher than the purchase price), thereby resulting in a yield to the Fund during a Fund’s holding period. A Fund may enter into a “continuing contract” or “open” repurchase agreement under which the seller is under a continuing obligation to repurchase the underlying securities from the Fund on demand and the
effective interest rate is negotiated on a daily basis. Repurchase agreements may be viewed as loans made by
a Fund which are collateralized by the securities subject to repurchase.
In any repurchase agreement, the securities that are subject to the transaction may
be obligations issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Funds may also engage
in repurchase agreements collateralized by non-government securities that are rated investment grade
or below investment grade by the requisite NRSROs or unrated securities of comparable quality, loan participations,
and equities.
If the seller of a repurchase agreement fails to repurchase the security in accordance
with the terms of the agreement, a Fund might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience
a loss on the sale of the security subject to the repurchase agreement to the extent that the sale proceeds
including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in the repurchase agreement, including interest.
In addition, although
the Bankruptcy Code and other insolvency laws may provide certain protections for
some types of repurchase agreements, if the seller of a repurchase agreement should be involved in bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings, a Fund may incur delay and costs in selling the underlying security or
may suffer a loss of principal and interest if the value of the underlying security declines or the Fund
may be deemed to be an unsecured creditor and be required to return the securities to the seller.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements that involve securities that may be
subject to a court-ordered or other “stay” in the event of the seller’s bankruptcy or insolvency. A “stay” will prevent the Fund from selling the securities it holds under a repurchase agreement until permitted by a
court or other authority. In these situations the Fund may be subject to greater risk that the value of the securities
may decline before they are sold, and that the Fund may experience a loss.
The securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market every business
day, and if the value of the securities falls below a specified percentage of the repurchase price
(typically 102%), the counterparty will be required to deliver additional collateral to a Fund in the form
of cash or additional securities. Custody of the securities will be maintained by a Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian for the duration of the agreement.
The Funds may invest their cash balances in joint accounts with other Invesco Funds
for the purpose of investing in repurchase agreements with maturities not to exceed 60 days, and in certain
other money market instruments with remaining maturities not to exceed 90 days. Repurchase agreements
may be considered loans by a Fund under the 1940 Act.
Invesco Global Opportunities Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that
causes more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond
seven days.
Restricted and Illiquid Investments. The Funds may not acquire any illiquid investment if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets
in illiquid investments.
For purposes of the above 15% limitation, an illiquid investment means any investment
that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven
calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment,
as determined pursuant to the 1940 Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder. Illiquid
investments may include a wide variety of investments, such as, for example: (1) repurchase agreements maturing
in more than seven days (unless the agreements have demand/redemption features); (2) OTC options contracts
and certain other derivatives (including certain swap agreements); (3) fixed time deposits that are
not subject to prepayment or that provide for withdrawal penalties upon prepayment (other than overnight deposits);
(4) loan interests and other direct debt instruments; (5) municipal lease obligations; (6) commercial paper
issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act; and (7) securities that are unregistered, that can be
sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, or that are exempt from registration
under the 1933 Act or otherwise restricted under the federal securities laws, including private placement
securities sold pursuant to Regulation S.
Limitations on the resale of restricted investments may have an adverse effect on
their marketability, which may prevent a Fund from disposing of them promptly at reasonable prices. The
Fund may have to bear the expense of registering such securities for resale, and the risk of substantial
delays in effecting such registrations. A Fund’s difficulty valuing and selling restricted securities or illiquid investments may result in a loss or be costly to the Fund.
If a substantial market develops for a restricted security or illiquid investment
held by a Fund, it may be treated as a liquid investment, in accordance with procedures and guidelines adopted
by the Board on behalf of the Funds.
Rule 144A Securities. Rule 144A securities are securities which, while initially 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 the 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 mortgage 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. 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.
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, except Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco has
claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the CEA and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC
registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, Invesco is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the 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.
With respect to Invesco Advantage International Fund, the Adviser is registered as
a commodity pool operator (CPO) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC and will be subject to CFTC
regulation with respect to the Fund. The CFTC has adopted rules regarding the disclosure, reporting and recordkeeping
requirements that will apply with respect to the Fund as a result of Invesco’s registration as a CPO. Generally, these rules allow for substituted compliance with CFTC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements,
based on Invesco’s compliance with comparable SEC requirements. This means that for most of the CFTC’s disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements applicable to Invesco as the Fund’s CPO, Invesco’s compliance with SEC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements will be deemed to fulfill Invesco’s CFTC compliance obligations. However, as a result of CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund, the
Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses. The Adviser is also registered as a commodity trading
advisor (CTA) but, with respect to the Fund, intends to rely on an exemption from CTA regulation available
for a CTA that also serves as a fund’s CPO.
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.
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.
Swaps. Each Fund may engage in certain strategies involving swaps to attempt to manage the
risk of its investments or, in certain circumstances, for investment purposes (e.g., as a substitute
for investing in securities). All Funds may enter into swap agreements.
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.
Index Swap Transactions: A Fund may enter into a swap on an index, under which involve the exchange by a Fund with another party of the respective amounts payable with respect to a notional
principal amount related to one or more indices.
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.
Total Return Swaps on Shares of Affiliated Funds: A total return swap entered into between the Fund and certain counterparties for which shares of an affiliated registered investment company
managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser (a “referenced fund”) serve as the reference security would provide the Fund with synthetic long investment exposure, through a swap dealer counterparty,
to the performance of the referenced fund. Investment exposure to the referenced fund is obtained through payments
made by the counterparty to the Fund under the swap that reflect the positive total return (inclusive
of dividends and distributions) on a specified number (and corresponding value) of shares of the referenced
fund, in exchange for periodic payments by the Fund to the counterparty based on a fixed or variable
interest rate that accrues on that value, as well as payments reflecting any negative total return on those shares.
The swap provides the Fund with the economic equivalent of ownership of those shares through an entitlement
to receive any gains realized, and dividends paid, on the shares, and an obligation to pay any losses realized
on the shares. This investment technique provides the Fund effectively with a form of leverage that is
intended to achieve an
economic effect similar to the Fund’s purchase of shares of the referenced fund with borrowed money. As such, this investment technique will subject the Fund to the risks of leverage discussed in the Fund’s prospectus.
Performance of such a swap is subject to the performance and risks of the referenced
fund and its investment portfolio. If the performance of the shares of the referenced fund referenced
in the swap is negative or is not sufficiently positive to offset the periodic payment due to the
counterparty based on the fixed or variable interest rate, then the performance of the fund will be negatively impacted. The counterparty’s payments to the Fund will be based upon the change in the net asset value of the referenced fund’s shares referenced in the swap, which take into account the ratable share of the internal
expenses of the referenced fund as reflected in its net asset value (including management fee and administrative
expenses of the referenced fund). Though not contractually required (or requested by the Adviser)
to do so, the counterparty would be expected to hedge its market risk exposure under the swap by purchasing for
its own account shares of the referenced fund so that any payments it owes to the Fund under the swap
are offset by gains in (and receipt of dividends from) the counterparty’s direct investment in the shares of the referenced fund. If the counterparty does hedge by purchasing shares of the referenced fund, the Adviser or
an affiliate of the Adviser (as applicable), as investment adviser to the referenced fund, will receive
a management fee attributable to the counterparty’s direct investment in the referenced fund. There is no certainty that the Adviser or an affiliate will receive any fees indirectly through the use of this investment
technique. Like other total return swaps, these swaps are subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty
fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.
Because certain data inputs necessary for the daily pricing of these swaps may not
be available in a timely manner under standard valuation methodologies used by the Fund for over-the-counter
derivatives, these swaps will be fair valued daily pursuant to the Fund’s fair valuation procedures using a fair valuation methodology.
The Adviser will apply certain requirements of its policy governing affiliated fund-of-fund
arrangements to these total return swaps, notwithstanding that the Fund never purchases or owns shares
of the referenced fund that are referenced in such a swap or is ever required to purchase shares to
satisfy any future obligation to a counterparty. The application of this policy will require, among other things,
that any referenced fund be an eligible acquired fund in an affiliated fund of funds arrangement under the Investment
Company Act.
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.
Options. Each Fund may engage in certain strategies involving options to attempt to manage
the risk of its investments or, in certain circumstances, for investment purposes (e.g., as a
substitute for investing in securities), to speculate on future volatility levels or to decrease the volatility
exposure of other investments held by a Fund.
An option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the
premium paid, the right, but not the obligation, to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of
a put) the writer of the option at the exercise price during the term of the option (for American style options) or on
a specified date (for European style options), the security, currency or other instrument underlying the
option (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of certain options, such as an index option and other
cash-settled options). An option on a CDS or a futures contract (described below) gives the purchaser the right,
but not the obligation, to enter into a CDS or assume a position in a futures contract. Option transactions
present the possibility of large amounts of exposure (or leverage), which may result in a Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the option.
The value of an option position will reflect, among other things, the current market
value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration, the relationship of the exercise
price to the market price of the underlying investment, the price volatility of the underlying investment and general
market and interest rate conditions.
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.
Put Options on Securities. Invesco Global Fund will not sell puts if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund’s net assets would be required to be identified on the Fund’s book to cover such put options. Invesco Global Opportunities Fund and Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund will not
sell put options if more than 50% of the Fund’s net assets would be required to be segregated to cover such options. A 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. Up to 25% of Invesco Global Focus Fund, Invesco Global Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth Fund’s total assets may be subject to calls the Funds sell. Up to 50% of Invesco Global Opportunities Fund and Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund’s total assets can be subject to call options the Fund sells. 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.
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. Invesco Global Focus Fund, Invesco Global Fund, Invesco Global Opportunities Fund and Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund may buy a call or put only if,
after the purchase, the value of all call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets.
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.
Straddles/Spreads/Collars. Each Fund may for hedging purposes, or for speculative purposes, enter into straddles, spreads or collars to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the Funds’ 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.
A warrant gives the holder the right to purchase securities from the issuer at a specific
price within a certain time frame and is similar to a call option. The main difference between warrants
and call options is that warrants are issued by the company that will issue the underlying security, whereas
options are not issued by the company. Young, unseasoned companies often issue warrants to finance their operations.
Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International
Growth Fund can invest up to 5%; and Invesco Global Opportunities Fund may invest up to 10%, of their
total assets in rights and warrants, not including rights and warrants the Funds acquire as part of securities
units or that are attached to other securities the Funds buy.
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.
Bond Index Futures: Bond index futures are contracts based on the future value of a basket of fixed-income securities that comprise the index. The seller or buyer of a bond index future is
obligated to pay cash to settle the transaction, based on the fluctuation of the index’s value in response to the changes in the values of the fixed-income securities that are included in the index over the term of the
contract. A bond index cannot be purchased or sold directly.
Interest Rate Futures: An interest rate futures contract is an exchange-traded contract in which the specified underlying security is either an interest-bearing fixed income security
or an inter-bank deposit. Once example of common interest rate futures contracts are U.S. Treasury futures. The specified security for U.S. Treasury futures is a U.S. Treasury security.
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.
The Funds currently may not invest in any security (including futures contracts or
options thereon) that is secured by physical commodities.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities
are denominated.
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.
A Fund may have investments in financial instruments that are exposed to 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.
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, ceased to 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. The FCA will permit the use of synthetic U.S. dollar LIBOR rates for non-U.S. contracts for a limited period
of time after June 30, 2023, but any such rates would be considered non-representative of the underlying
market.
While the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined,
there remains uncertainty and risks relating to converting certain longer-term securities and transactions to a new ARR. 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. While it is expected that the market participants will amend legacy financial instruments referencing LIBOR to include such fallback provisions to ARRs, there remains uncertainty regarding the willingness and ability of parties to add or amend such
fallback provisions in legacy instruments. 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 such legislation. 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.
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).
From time to time, a Fund may pursue or be involved as a named party in litigation
arising in connection with its role or status as a shareholder, bondholder, lender or holder of portfolio
investments, its own activities, or other circumstances. Litigation that affects a Fund’s portfolio investments may result in the reduced value of such investments or higher portfolio turnover if the Fund determines to sell such
investments. Litigation could result in significant expenses, reputational damage, increased insurance premiums,
adverse judgment liabilities, settlement liabilities, injunctions, diversions of Fund resources, disruptions
to Fund operations and/or other similar adverse consequences, any of which may increase the expenses
incurred by a Fund or adversely affect the value of the Fund’s shares.
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"), including,
with respect to Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund only, as may be necessary to approximate the composition
of Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund's target index. In complying with this restriction, however,
the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940
Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
(2) The Fund may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted
by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
(3) The Fund may not underwrite the securities of other issuers. This restriction
does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale
of its portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be an underwriter
under the 1933 Act.
(4) The Fund 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,
or (ii) tax-exempt obligations issued by governments or political subdivisions of governments.
In complying with this restriction, the Fund will not consider a bank-issued guaranty or financial
guaranty insurance as a separate security.
(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 Advantage International Fund, Invesco EQV European
Equity Fund, Invesco EQV International Equity Fund, Invesco Global Fund, Invesco Global Focus Fund,
Invesco Global Opportunities Fund, Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund, Invesco MSCI World SRI
Index Fund, and Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth 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 Advantage International Fund, Invesco EQV European Equity Fund, Invesco EQV
International Equity Fund, Invesco Global Fund, Invesco Global Focus Fund, Invesco Global Opportunities
Fund Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund, Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund, and Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth 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.
Notwithstanding the above restriction, Invesco Global 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.
(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.
For purposes of Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund’s fundamental restriction related to diversification above, the Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as
its target index is diversified. The Fund may become “non-diversified,” as defined in the 1940 Act, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of
its target index. Shareholder approval will not be sought if the Fund becomes non-diversified due solely
to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents
of its target index.
For purposes of the Fund's fundamental restriction related to industry concentration
above, investments in tax-exempt municipal securities where the payment of principal and interest for such
securities is derived solely from a specific project associated with an issuer that is not a governmental
entity or a political subdivision of a government are subject to a Fund's industry concentration policy.
For purposes of the Fund’s fundamental restriction related to physical commodities above, the Fund is currently permitted to invest in futures, swaps and other instruments on physical
commodities and the 1940 Act does not prohibit a fund from owning commodities or contracts related to commodities.
The extent to which the Fund can invest in futures, swaps and other instruments on physical commodities,
and/or commodities or contracts related to commodities, is set out in the Fund’s prospectus, this SAI, and as permitted by the Fund’s fundamental restriction.
For purposes of 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 generally will not (unless permitted by the fundamental restriction), with respect to 75% of its
total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities and securities issued by other investment companies),
if, as a result, (i) more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of
that issuer, or (ii) the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.
The Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws,
Interpretations and Exemptions.
In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, any
Fund that invests in municipal securities will regard each state (including the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico), territory and possession of the United States, each political subdivision, agency, instrumentality
and authority thereof, and each multi-state agency of which a state is a member as a separate "issuer."
When the assets and revenues of an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political subdivision
are separate from the government creating the subdivision and the security is backed only by assets
and revenues of the subdivision, such subdivision would be deemed to be the sole issuer. Similarly,
in the case of an Industrial Development Bond or Private Activity Bond, if that bond is backed only
by the assets and revenues of the non-governmental user, then that non-governmental user would be deemed
to be the sole issuer. However, if the creating government or another entity guarantees a security,
then to the extent that the value of all securities issued or guaranteed by that government or
entity and owned by the Fund exceeds 10% of the Fund's total assets, the guarantee would be considered
a separate security and would be treated as issued by that government or entity. Securities issued
or guaranteed by a bank or subject to financial guaranty insurance are not subject to the limitations
set forth in the preceding sentence.
(2) In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding borrowing money and issuing
senior securities, the Fund may borrow money in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total
assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings).
(3) Notwithstanding the fundamental restriction with regard to investing all assets
in an open-end fund, the Fund may not invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management
investment company with the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and restrictions
as the Fund.
(4) In complying with the fundamental restriction regarding industry concentration,
the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the securities of issuers whose principal business
activities are in the same industry.
(5) 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 Advantage International Fund, Invesco EQV European Equity
Fund, Invesco EQV International Equity Fund, Invesco Global Fund, Invesco Global Focus Fund, Invesco
Global Opportunities Fund, Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund, Invesco MSCI World SRI Index
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Growth Fund) currently may not invest in
any security (including futures contracts or options thereon) that is secured by physical commodities.
The Funds do not consider currencies or other financial commodities or contracts and
financial instruments to be physical commodities (which include, for example, oil, precious
metals and grains). Accordingly, the Funds will interpret the fundamental restriction and the related
non-fundamental restriction to permit the Funds, subject to each Fund's investment objectives and
general investment policies (as stated in the Funds' prospectuses and herein), to invest directly in
foreign currencies and other financial commodities and to purchase, sell or enter into commodity futures
contracts and options thereon, forward foreign currency contracts, foreign currency options, currency-,
commodity- and financial instrument-related swap agreements, hybrid instruments, interest rate or
securities-related or foreign currency-related hedging instruments or other currency-, commodity- or financial
instrument-related derivatives, subject to compliance with any applicable provisions of the federal
securities or commodities laws. The Funds also will interpret the fundamental restriction regarding
the purchase and sale of physical commodities and the related non-fundamental restriction to permit
the Funds to invest in ETFs, registered investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles that invest
in physical and/or financial commodities, subject to the limits described in the Funds' prospectuses
and herein.
(6) 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.
(7) The Funds, except for Invesco Advantage International 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.
(a) Invesco EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least
80% of its assets in equity securities of issuers in the Asia Pacific region (except Japanese
companies).
(b) Invesco EQV European Equity Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least
80% of its assets in equity securities of European issuers.
(c) Invesco EQV International Equity Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at
least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities.
(d) Invesco International Small-Mid Company Fund invests, under normal market conditions,
at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of small- and mid-cap companies.
(e) Invesco MSCI World SRI Index Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least
80% of its assets in equity securities represented in the MSCI World SRI Index.
For purposes of the foregoing, "assets" means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings
for investment purposes. Derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics
similar to the securities in a Fund’s 80% policy described above for a Fund may be counted toward that Fund's 80% policy. The Fund will provide written notice to its shareholders prior to any change to this
policy, as required by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
It is the intention of each Fund, unless otherwise indicated, that with respect to
the Fund's policies that are a result of application of law, the Fund will take advantage of the flexibility
provided by rules or interpretations of the SEC currently in existence or promulgated in the future, or
changes to such laws.

following countries to be Pacific issuers:
Invesco EQV European Equity Fund considers issuers of securities located in the following
countries to be European issuers:
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.
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.

You may also obtain the publicly available portfolio holdings information described

Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Holdings Disclosure Policy, Invesco and
its affiliates may disclose portfolio holdings information on its website earlier than dictated by the
Holdings Disclosure Policy in the case of market, geopolitical or company-specific (or other) events that cause
Invesco to conclude that posting such information on its website is consistent with its fiduciary duties to
the Funds.
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 may 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.
The Trustees and officers of the Trust, their principal occupations during at least
the last five years and certain other information concerning them are set forth in Appendix C.

Mr. Vandivort currently serves as President of Flyway Advisory Services LLC, a consulting

The Board believes that Mr. Vandivort’s experience in financial services and investment management and as a director of other investment companies benefits the Funds.
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 fourteen Trustees, including twelve 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 Board also oversees risks related to certain Funds’ use of derivatives as part of its general oversight responsibilities. The Board has approved
a derivatives risk manager, which is responsible for administering the derivatives risk management program (“DRM Program”) for the Funds that are required to implement a DRM Program. The Board meets with the
derivatives risk manager on a periodic basis, including receiving quarterly and annual reports from
the derivatives risk manager, to review the implementation of the DRM Program.
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.
The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. LaCava (Chair), Liddy and Troccoli, Dr. Jones, and Mss. Hostetler and Ressel. The Audit Committee performs a number of functions with
respect to the oversight of the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting, including: (i) assisting the Board with its oversight of the qualifications, independence and performance of the independent registered public

non-audit services to be provided by the Funds’ independent auditors to the Funds’ investment adviser or to any of its affiliates; and (vii) overseeing the performance of the fair valuation determinations by the Adviser.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Audit Committee held four meetings.

providers; and (vii)
reviewing reports by Invesco on correspondence with regulators or governmental agencies
with respect to the Funds and recommending to the Board what action, if any, should be taken by the Funds
in light of such reports. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Compliance Committee held four meetings.
The members of the Governance Committee are Messrs. Motley and Vandivort (Chair) and
Mss. Brown and Hostetler and Dr. Mathai-Davis. The Governance Committee performs a number of
functions with respect to governance, including: (i) nominating persons to serve as Independent Trustees
and as members of each Committee, and nominating the Chair of the Board, the Chair of each Committee and
the Chair of each Sub-Committee of the Investments committee; (ii) reviewing and making recommendations to the full
Board regarding the size and composition of the Board and the compensation payable to the
Independent Trustees;(iii) overseeing the annual evaluation of the performance of the Board and
its Committees; (iv) considering and overseeing the selection of independent legal counsel to the Independent

regarding amounts and coverage of primary and excess directors and officers/errors and omissions liability

The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by a shareholder to serve
as trustees, provided: (i) that such submitting shareholder provides the information required by, and otherwise complies with the applicable provisions of, the Fund’s governing instruments, (ii) that such submitting shareholder is a shareholder of record at the time he or she submits such names and is entitled to
vote at the meeting of shareholders at which trustees will be elected; and (iii) that the Governance Committee or the Board, as applicable, shall make the final determination of persons to be nominated. Notice
procedures set forth in the Trust’s bylaws require that any shareholder of a Fund desiring to nominate a candidate for election at a shareholder meeting must provide certain information about itself and the candidate,
and must submit to the Trust’s Secretary the nomination in writing not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting
is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary date or if the
Trust has not previously held an annual meeting, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so delivered
not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close
of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the
day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Trust.
The members of the Investments Committee are Messrs. LaCava, Liddy, Motley (Sub-Committee Chair), Troccoli (Sub-Committee Chair) and Vandivort, Mss. Brown, Deckbar, Hostetler (Chair), Krentzman and Ressel and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis (Sub-Committee Chair). The Investments Committee’s primary purposes are to assist the Board in its oversight of the investment management services
provided by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers and to periodically review Fund performance information, and information regarding the investment personnel and other resources devoted to the management of the Funds and
make recommendations to the Board, when applicable. During the fiscal year ended October
31, 2023, the Investments Committee held five meetings.
The Investments Committee has established three Sub-Committees and delegated to the
Sub-Committees responsibility for, among other matters: (i) reviewing the performance of the Invesco
Funds that have been assigned to a particular Sub-Committee (for each Sub-Committee, the Designated
Funds), except to the extent the Investments Committee takes such action directly; (ii) reviewing
with the applicable portfolio managers from time to time the investment objective(s), policies, strategies, performance
and risks and other investment-related matters of the Designated Funds; and (iii) being generally familiar
with the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Designated Funds.
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.
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, 2023 is found in Appendix D.
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
Certain former Trustees and current Independent Trustees (for purposes of this paragraph only, the Deferring Trustees) have 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. Amounts deferred by Deferring Trustees pursuant to a Compensation Agreement during
the most recent fiscal year are shown in Appendix D – Trustee Compensation Table.
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.”
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.
Invesco has adopted its own specific Proxy Voting Policies.
The Board has delegated responsibility for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities
held by each Fund to the following Adviser/Sub-Adviser(s):

of the trustees, are necessary to conduct the business of the Funds effectively, as well as the offices,
equipment and other facilities necessary for their operations. Such functions include the maintenance of each Fund’s accounts and records, and the preparation of all requisite corporate documents such as tax returns
and reports to the SEC and shareholders.

of issue, sale, redemption, and repurchase of shares, expenses of registering and qualifying shares
for sale, expenses relating to trustee and shareholder meetings, the cost of preparing and distributing

Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco.
Prior to July 31, 2023, Invesco received a monthly fee from Invesco EQV International Equity Fund calculated at the following annual rate: 0.935% of the first $250 million, 0.91% of
the next $250 million, 0.885% of the next $500 million, 0.86% of the next $1.5 billion, 0.835% of the next
$2.5 billion, 0.81% of the next $2.5 billion, 0.785% of the next $2.5 billion, and 0.76% of the the amount over
$10 billion.
Invesco may from time to time waive or reduce its fee. Voluntary fee waivers or reductions
may be rescinded at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers
or reductions, Invesco will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the end of each fiscal
year, in which the voluntary fee waiver or reduction was made.
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 in 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 payable by the Funds, the amounts waived by Invesco and the net fees paid by the Funds are found
in Appendix G.
For Funds that have expense limitations (“Expense Limitations”) or boundary limits (“Boundary Limits”), as applicable, Invesco has agreed until at least the expiration date (the "Expiration Date") for the Expense Limitations, or 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. (It should be noted that Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are not operating expenses of
the Funds directly, but are fees and expenses, including management fees, of the investment companies in which
the Funds invest. As a result, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense
Reimbursement may exceed a Fund’s expense limit.)
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. These Expense Limitations are set forth in the Expense Limitations table below.
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.

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 which is a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act are:
•
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited (Invesco Japan)
•
Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH (Invesco Deutschland)
•
Invesco Asset Management Limited (Invesco Asset Management)
•
Invesco Canada Ltd. (Invesco Canada)
•
Invesco Hong Kong Limited (Invesco Hong Kong)
•
Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. (Invesco Senior Secured)
Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with another affiliate, 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 the Funds (except
Invesco EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund).
Invesco has also entered into a Sub-Advisory Agreement with another affiliate, Invesco
Asset Management (India) Private Limited (Invesco India), also a registered investment adviser
under the Advisers Act, to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or
order execution services to the Funds (except Invesco EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund).
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 the Funds (except for Invesco EQV Asia Pacific Equity Fund, Invesco EQV European Equity Fund, Invesco EQV International Equity Fund and Invesco
MSCI World SRI Index Fund). Under the sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a percentage of the net investment advisory fee (after all applicable waivers) that
it receives from the Fund as
compensation for the provision of investment advisory services. The fee paid to the
Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is paid by the Adviser, not by the Fund.
Invesco and each Sub-Adviser are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
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. The advisory fee payable by each Fund shall be reduced by any amounts
paid by the Fund under the Administrative Services Agreement. Currently, Invesco is reimbursed for the services of the Trust’s principal financial officer and the principal financial officer's 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 October 31 are found in Appendix I.
Transfer Agent. Invesco Investment Services, Inc., (Invesco Investment Services), 11 Greenway Plaza,
Houston, Texas 77046-1173, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco, Ltd. is the Trust’s transfer agent.
The Amended and Restated Transfer Agency and Service Agreement (the TA Agreement)
between the Trust and Invesco Investment Services provides that Invesco Investment Services will
perform certain services related to the servicing of shareholders of the Funds. Other such services
may be delegated or sub-contracted to third party intermediaries. For servicing accounts holding Class A, A2, AX, C,
CX, P, R, RX, S, Y, Invesco Cash Reserve and Investor Class shares, as applicable, the TA Agreement provides
that the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, will pay Invesco Investment Services an annual fee per open shareholder
account. This fee is paid monthly at the rate of 1/12 of the annual rate and is based upon the number
of open shareholder accounts during each month. For servicing accounts holding Class R5 and Class R6 shares,
as applicable, the TA Agreement provides that the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, will pay Invesco
Investment Services an asset-based fee. The TA Agreement also provides that Invesco Investment Services is
responsible for out of pocket expenses relating to the procurement of goods and services as they relate to
its obligations under the TA Agreement. In addition, all fees payable by Invesco Investment Services or its
affiliates to third party intermediaries who service accounts pursuant to sub-transfer agency, omnibus account
services and sub-accounting agreements are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved
by the Board of the Trust as reflected in Board-approved policies. These payments are made in consideration
of services that would otherwise be provided by Invesco Investment Services if the accounts serviced
by such intermediaries were serviced by Invesco Investment Services directly. For more information regarding
such payments to intermediaries, see the discussion under “Sub-Accounting and Networking Support Payments” found in Appendix L.
Sub-Transfer Agent. Invesco Canada, 120 Bloor Street East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4W 1B7, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., provides services to the Trust
as a sub-transfer agent, pursuant to an agreement between Invesco Canada and Invesco Investment Services.
The Trust does not pay a fee to Invesco Canada for these services. Rather Invesco Canada is compensated
by Invesco Investment Services, as a sub-contractor.
In addition, Invesco (India) Private Limited, Divyasree Orion, B6 15TH FLOOR, Raidurgam,
Serilingampalli, Hyderabad, India K7 500032, a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of
Invesco Ltd., provides services to the Trust as a sub-transfer agent, pursuant to an agreement between Invesco
(India) Private Limited and Invesco Investment Services. The Trust does not pay a fee to Invesco (India)
Private Limited and
Invesco Investment Services. Rather Invesco (India) Private Limited is compensated
by Invesco Investment Services, as a sub-contractor.
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the Custodian), 225 Franklin Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02110, is custodian of all securities and cash of the Funds.
The Custodian is 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 or provide
any protection against any possible depreciation of assets.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Funds' independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the financial statements of the Funds.
The Audit Committee of the Board has selected, and the Board has ratified and approved PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP, 1000 Louisiana Street, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002-5021, as the independent registered public
accounting firm to audit the financial statements of the Funds. In connection with the audit of the Funds'
financial statements, the Funds entered into an engagement letter with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The terms
of the engagement letter 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. The Board also 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 October 31, 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:

Further, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 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.
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
Invesco and 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-dealer 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’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. Since January 3, 2018, under the European Union’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) and as implemented in the United Kingdom, European Union and United Kingdom investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to certain Funds as described in such Funds' prospectuses, pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their own resources, rather than
through client commissions.
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 primary trading centers around the world to place equity securities trades in their regions. Invesco’s Americas desk, with locations in the United States and Canada (the Americas Desk), generally places trades of equity securities trading in North America, Canada and Latin America; the Asia Pacific desk, with locations in Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and China (the Asia Pacific Desk), generally places trades of equity securities trading in the Asia-Pacific markets; and the EMEA trading desk, with locations in the United Kingdom (the EMEA Desk), generally places trades of equity securities trading in European, Middle Eastern and African countries. Additionally, various Invesco Ltd. subsidiaries have created an alternatives trading desk that generally places trades in derivatives, options and foreign currency. Invesco, Invesco Canada, Invesco Japan, Invesco Deutschland, Invesco Hong Kong, Invesco Capital and Invesco Asset Management
use the global equity trading desk and the alternatives desk to place trades. Other Sub-Advisers may use the global equity trading desk and the alternatives 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 Asia Pacific 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 or to the alternatives desk, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser that delegates trading is responsible for oversight of this trading activity.
Commissions
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 for a Fund such that the Fund’s total cost or proceeds in each transaction is the most favorable under the circumstances,
including commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs which are reasonable in relation to the value
of the research and brokerage services provided by the Broker. While Invesco and 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, such as fixed income securities, 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. 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.
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 a 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 client accounts managed by Invesco or a Sub-Adviser (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
ended October 31 are found in Appendix J.
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 or fixed income securities for a Fund, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers consider the full range and quality of a Broker’s services, including, but not limited to, the value of research and/or brokerage services provided (if permitted by applicable law or regulation), execution capability, commission rate, spread or mark-up or mark-down (as applicable), willingness to commit capital, anonymity and responsiveness. In each case, the determinative factor is not the lowest commission, spread or mark-up or mark-down available but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution for the Fund under the circumstances. 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 a Sub-Adviser may select Brokers that provide brokerage and/or research services (Soft Dollar Products) to Invesco or such Sub-Adviser. For the avoidance of doubt, European Union and United Kingdom 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 Brokers 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 a Sub-Adviser, under certain circumstances, lawfully may cause a client account to pay a higher commission than the lowest available. Under Section 28(e)(1), Invesco
or the Sub-Adviser 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-Adviser’s] overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to which [it] exercises
investment discretion.” The Soft Dollar Products provided by the Broker also must lawfully and appropriately assist Invesco or the Sub-Adviser in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities. Accordingly, a Fund may pay a Broker commissions that are higher than those charged by 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. Additionally, Section 28(e) permits Invesco or a Sub-Adviser to use Soft Dollar Products for the benefit of any account it manages. Certain Invesco-managed
client accounts (or client accounts managed by the Sub-Advisers) may generate soft dollar commissions used to purchase Soft Dollar Products that ultimately benefit other Invesco-managed client accounts (or the other Sub-Adviser managed accounts), effectively cross-subsidizing the other Invesco-managed client accounts (or the other Sub-Adviser-managed client accounts) that benefit directly from the product. Invesco or a Sub-Adviser 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 dollar commissions used to purchase such products.
Fixed income trading normally does 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 or other fixed-income client accounts are generated entirely by equity-focused Invesco Funds and other equity-focused 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 for which they do not pay. Similarly, other client accounts managed by Invesco or certain of its affiliates may benefit from Soft Dollar Products
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 dollar commissions to purchase two types of Soft Dollar Products:
•
proprietary research created by the Broker executing the trade, and
•
other research and brokerage products and services created by third party vendors 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 targeted share of Invesco clients’ commission dollars and attempts to direct trades to these firms to meet these estimates.
Soft Dollar Products are paid for by Invesco and Sub-Advisers using soft dollar commissions through one of two methods: full-service trading or commission sharing agreements (“CSAs”). In a full-service trading arrangement, the Broker itself provides proprietary research products and brokerage services to Invesco or the Sub-Adviser, and commissions paid to the Broker are retained by it to pay for both trade execution and the proprietary research products and brokerage services provided by it. In a CSA arrangement with a Broker, a portion of the commission paid to the Broker is made available by the Broker to Invesco or the Sub-Adviser to pay a third party for third party research and brokerage products and services.
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 macroeconomic 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 Company/Industry Analysis – company or 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 or custom built investment-analysis software.
Occasionally, Invesco or a Sub-Adviser will receive certain “mixed-use” research and brokerage services, a portion of the cost of which is eligible under Section 28(e) for payment with soft dollar commissions and a portion of which is not. In these instances, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will make a reasonable allocation of the cost of the product or service according to its use and pay for only that portion of the cost that is eligible under Section 28(e) with soft dollar commission (and will pay for the remaining portion with its own resources).
Outside research assistance is useful to Invesco and the Sub-Advisers because the Brokers used by Invesco and the Sub-Advisers and the providers of other Soft Dollar Products 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. 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 charged to the Funds might exceed those that might otherwise have been paid.
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 and United Kingdom investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, are not permitted to use soft dollar commissions 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.
The amount of brokerage commissions paid by the Funds to brokers for providing Section 28(e) research/brokerage services under Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act and the approximate dollar amount of the transactions involved for the last fiscal year or period, as applicable, ended October 31 is found in Appendix K.
Invesco or a Sub-Adviser may place trades for equity securities with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. (ICMI), a broker-dealer with whom it is affiliated, provided that Invesco or the Sub-Adviser determines that ICMI’s trade execution costs are at least comparable to those of non-affiliated brokerage firms with which
Invesco or the Sub-Adviser could otherwise place similar trades for similar securities. ICMI receives brokerage commissions in connection with effecting trades for the Funds and, therefore, use
of ICMI presents a conflict of interest for Invesco or a Sub-Adviser. Trades placed through ICMI, including the brokerage commissions paid to ICMI, are subject to procedures adopted by the Board that are designed to mitigate this conflict of interest.
Information regarding any brokerage commissions on affiliated transactions that the
Funds may have paid for the last three fiscal years or periods, as applicable, ended October 31 may be
found in Appendix J.
Information concerning the Funds' acquisition of securities of their brokers during
the last fiscal year or period, as applicable, ended October 31 is found in Appendix K.
Allocation of Portfolio Transactions
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers manage numerous Invesco Funds and other client accounts. Some of these client accounts may have investment objectives similar to the Funds. Frequently, identical securities will be appropriate for investment by multiple Invesco Funds or other client accounts. However, the position of each client account in the same security and the length of time that each client account may hold its investment in the same security may vary. Invesco or a Sub-Adviser will also determine the timing and amount of purchases for a client 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 client 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 client accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size or in such other manner believed by Invesco or the Sub-Adviser 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 client account, the capital available to a Fund or client account, and which portfolio management team sourced the opportunity. Invesco or the
Sub-Adviser may combine orders for the purchase or sale of securities and other investments for multiple client
accounts, including the Funds, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations to obtain the most favorable execution. Aggregated 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 client accounts managed by Invesco or a Sub-Adviser may become interested in participating in IPOs. Purchases of IPOs by one Invesco Fund or other
client account may also be considered for purchase by one or more other Invesco Funds or client accounts. Invesco combines indications of interest for IPOs for all Invesco Funds and client accounts desiring to purchase the securities to be issued in that IPO. When the full amount of all IPO orders for such Invesco Funds and client accounts
cannot be filled completely, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser shall allocate such transactions in accordance with the following procedures.
Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may determine the eligibility of each Invesco Fund and
client 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 client account’s investment objective, policies, strategies and current holdings as well as the Invesco Fund’s portfolio manager’s commitment to or level of interest in the particular issuer. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate securities issued in IPOs to eligible Invesco Funds and client accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size.

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.
The following is a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting
the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present
a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and the discussion here and
in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This “Tax Matters” section is based on the Code and applicable regulations in effect on the date of this SAI. Future legislative, regulatory or administrative changes, including provisions
of current law that sunset and thereafter no longer apply, or court decisions may significantly change the tax
rules applicable to the Fund and its shareholders. Any of these changes or court decisions may have a retroactive
effect.
This is for general information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult
their own tax advisors as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to
them.
Taxation of the Fund. The Fund has elected and intends to qualify (or, if newly organized, intends to elect and qualify) each year as a “regulated investment company” (sometimes referred to as a regulated investment company, RIC or fund) under Subchapter M of the Code. If the Fund qualifies,
the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of its investment company taxable income
(i.e., generally, taxable interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains and other taxable ordinary income
net of expenses without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net capital gain (i.e., the excess
of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it distributes to shareholders.
Qualification as a regulated investment company. In order to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company, the Fund must satisfy the following requirements:
•
Distribution Requirement – the Fund must distribute an amount equal to the sum of at least 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt income, if any,
for the tax year (certain distributions made by the Fund after the close of its tax year are considered
distributions attributable to the previous tax year for purposes of satisfying this
requirement).
•
Income Requirement – the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, and gains from the sale
or other disposition of stock, securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including,
but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived from its business of investing
in such stock, securities or currencies and net income derived from qualified publicly traded partnerships
(QPTPs).
•
Asset Diversification Test – the Fund must satisfy the following asset diversification test at the close of each quarter of the Fund’s tax year: (1) at least 50% of the value of the Fund’s assets must consist of cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated
investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to which the Fund has not invested
more than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets in securities of an issuer and as to which the Fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer); and (2) no more
than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities or securities of other regulated investment companies) or of
two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades
or businesses, or, collectively, in the securities of QPTPs.
In some circumstances, the character and timing of income realized by the Fund for
purposes of the Income Requirement or the identification of the issuer for purposes of the Asset Diversification
Test is uncertain under current law with respect to a particular investment, and an adverse
determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to such type of investment may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to satisfy these requirements. See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions” with respect to the application of these requirements to certain types of investments. In other circumstances, the Fund may
be required to sell portfolio holdings in order to meet the Income Requirement, Distribution Requirement,
or Asset Diversification Test, which may have a negative impact on the Fund’s income and performance. In lieu of potential disqualification, the Fund is permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy
the Asset Diversification Test or Income Requirement, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause
and not willful neglect.
The Fund may use “equalization accounting” (in lieu of making some cash distributions) in determining the portion of its income and gains that has been distributed. If the Fund uses equalization
accounting, it will allocate a portion of its undistributed investment company taxable income and net
capital gain to redemptions of Fund shares and will correspondingly reduce the amount of such income and gains
that it distributes in cash. However, the Fund intends to make cash distributions for each taxable year in
an aggregate amount that is sufficient to satisfy the Distribution Requirement without taking into account
its use of equalization accounting. If the IRS determines that the Fund’s allocation is improper and that the Fund has under-distributed its income and gain for any taxable year, the Fund may be liable for federal income
and/or excise tax.
If for any taxable year the Fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company,
all of its taxable income (including its net capital gain) would be subject to tax at the corporate income
tax rate without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders, and the dividends would be taxable to
the shareholders as ordinary income (or possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Failure to qualify as a regulated investment company
thus would have a negative impact on the Fund’s income and performance. Subject to savings provisions for certain inadvertent failures to satisfy the Income Requirement or Asset Diversification Test which, in
general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, it is possible that the Fund will
not qualify as a regulated investment company in any given tax year. Even if such savings provisions apply, the
Fund may be subject to a monetary sanction of $50,000 or more. Moreover, the Board reserves the right not
to maintain the
qualification of the Fund as a regulated investment company if it determines such
a course of action to be beneficial to shareholders.
Portfolio turnover. For investors that hold their Fund shares in a taxable account, a high portfolio
turnover rate (except in a money market fund that maintains a stable net asset value) may result
in higher taxes. This is because a fund with a high turnover rate may accelerate the recognition of capital
gains and more of such gains are likely to be taxable as short-term rather than long-term capital gains in
contrast to a comparable fund with a low turnover rate. Any such higher taxes would reduce the Fund’s after-tax performance. See “Taxation of Fund Distributions — Capital gain dividends” below. For non-U.S. investors, any such acceleration of the recognition of capital gains that results in more short-term and
less long-term capital gains being recognized by the Fund may cause such investors to be subject to increased U.S.
withholding taxes. See “Foreign Shareholders — U.S. withholding tax at the source” below.
Capital loss carryovers. The capital losses of the Fund, if any, do not flow through to shareholders. Rather, the Fund may use its capital losses, subject to applicable limitations, to
offset its capital gains without being required to pay taxes on or distribute to shareholders such gains that are offset
by the losses. If the Fund has a “net capital loss” (that is, capital losses in excess of capital gains), the excess (if any) of the Fund’s net short-term capital losses over its net long-term capital gains is treated as a short-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, and the excess (if any) of the Fund’s net long-term capital losses over its net short-term capital gains is treated as a long-term capital
loss arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. Any such net capital losses of the Fund that are not used to offset capital gains may be carried forward indefinitely to reduce any future capital gains realized
by the Fund in succeeding taxable years. The amount of capital losses that can be carried forward and used in
any single year is subject to an annual limitation if there is a more than 50% “change in ownership” of the Fund. An ownership change generally results when shareholders owning 5% or more of the Fund increase their aggregate
holdings by more than 50% over a three-year look-back period. An ownership change could result
in capital loss carryovers being used at a slower rate thereby reducing the Fund’s ability to offset capital gains with those losses. An increase in the amount of taxable gains distributed to the Fund’s shareholders could result from an ownership change. The Fund undertakes no obligation to avoid or prevent an ownership
change, which can occur in the normal course of shareholder purchases and redemptions or as a result
of engaging in a tax-free reorganization with another fund. Moreover, because of circumstances beyond the Fund’s control, there can be no assurance that the Fund will not experience, or has not already experienced,
an ownership change.
Deferral of late year losses. The Fund may elect to treat part or all of any “qualified late year loss” as if it had been incurred in the succeeding taxable year in determining the Fund’s taxable income, net capital gain, net short-term capital gain, and earnings and profits. The effect of this election is to treat any such “qualified late year loss” as if it had been incurred in the succeeding taxable year, which may change the timing, amount, or characterization of Fund distributions (see “Taxation of Fund Distributions — Capital gain dividends” below). A “qualified late year loss” includes:
(i) any net capital loss incurred after October 31 of the current taxable year, or,
if there is no such loss, any net long-term capital loss or any net short-term capital loss incurred after
October 31 of the current taxable year (post-October capital losses); and
(ii) the sum of (1) the excess, if any, of (a) specified losses incurred after October
31 of the current taxable year, over (b) specified gains incurred after October 31 of the current taxable
year and (2) the excess, if any, of (a) ordinary losses incurred after December 31 of the current taxable
year, over (b) the ordinary income incurred after December 31 of the current taxable year.
The terms “specified losses” and “specified gains” mean ordinary losses and gains from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of property (including the termination of a position
with respect to such property), foreign currency losses and gains, and losses and gains resulting from
holding stock in a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for which a mark-to-market election is in effect. The terms “ordinary losses” and “ordinary income” mean other ordinary losses and income that are not described in the preceding sentence.
Special rules apply to a fund with a fiscal year ending in November or December that
elects to use its taxable year for determining its capital gain net income for excise tax purposes.
Undistributed capital gains. The Fund may retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute net capital gains. If the Fund
elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be taxed thereon (except to the extent of any available
capital loss carryovers) at the corporate income tax rate. If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain,
it is expected that the Fund also will elect to have shareholders treated as if each received a distribution of its
pro rata share of such gain, with the result that each shareholder will be required to report its pro rata share of
such gain on its tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for its pro rata share
of tax paid by the Fund on the gain and will increase the tax basis for its shares by an amount equal to the deemed
distribution less the tax credit.
Asset allocation funds. If the Fund is a fund of funds, asset allocation fund, or a feeder fund in a master-feeder structure (collectively referred to as a “fund of funds” which invests in one or more underlying funds taxable as regulated investment companies) distributions by the underlying funds,
redemptions of shares in the underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions
to shareholders of ordinary income or capital gains. A fund of funds (other than a feeder fund in a master-feeder
structure) generally will not be able currently to offset gains realized by one underlying fund
in which the fund of funds invests against losses realized by another underlying fund. If shares of an underlying
fund are purchased within 30 days before or after redeeming at a loss other shares of that underlying
fund (whether pursuant to a rebalancing of the Fund’s portfolio or otherwise), all or a part of the loss will not be deductible by the Fund and instead will increase its basis for the newly purchased shares. Also, except with
respect to a qualified fund of funds, a fund of funds (a) is not eligible to pass-through to shareholders foreign
tax credits from an underlying fund that pays foreign income taxes and (b) is not eligible to pass-through to shareholders
exempt-interest dividends from an underlying fund. A qualified fund of funds, i.e., a fund at least
50 percent of the value of the total assets of which (at the close of each quarter of the taxable year) is represented
by interests in other RICs, is eligible to pass-through to shareholders (a) foreign tax credits and (b)
exempt-interest dividends. Also a fund of funds, whether or not it is a qualified fund of funds, is eligible to pass-through
to shareholders qualified dividends earned by an underlying fund(see "Taxation of Fund Distributions ― Qualified dividend income for individuals" and "― Corporate dividends-received deduction" below). However, dividends paid to shareholders by a fund of funds from interest earned by an underlying fund on U.S.
government obligations are unlikely to be exempt from state and local income tax.
Federal excise tax. To avoid a 4% non-deductible excise tax, the Fund must distribute by December 31
of each year an amount equal to at least: (1) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar
year, (2) 98.2% of capital gain net income (the excess of the gains from sales or exchanges of capital
assets over the losses from such sales or exchanges) for the one-year period ended on October 31 of such
calendar year (or, at the election of a regulated investment company having a taxable year ending November 30
or December 31, for its taxable year), and (3) any prior year undistributed ordinary income and capital
gain net income. The Fund may elect to defer to the following year any net ordinary loss incurred for the portion
of the calendar year which is after the beginning of the Fund’s taxable year. Also, the Fund will defer any “specified gain” or “specified loss” which would be properly taken into account for the portion of the calendar after October 31. Any net ordinary loss, specified gain, or specified loss deferred shall be treated
as arising on January 1 of the following calendar year. Generally, the Fund may make sufficient distributions to
avoid liability for federal income and excise tax, but can give no assurances that all or a portion of such liability
will be avoided. In addition, under certain circumstances temporary timing or permanent differences in
the realization of income and expense for book and tax purposes can result in the Fund having to pay an excise
tax.
Foreign income tax. Investment income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may
be subject to foreign income tax withheld at the source, and the amount of tax withheld
generally will be treated as an expense of the Fund. The United States has entered into tax treaties
with many foreign countries that entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, tax on such
income. Some countries require the filing of a tax reclaim or other forms to receive the benefit of the reduced
tax rate; whether or when the Fund will receive the tax reclaim is within the control of the individual country.
Information required on
these forms may not be available such as shareholder information; therefore, the Fund
may not receive the reduced treaty rates or potential reclaims. Other countries have conflicting and changing
instructions and restrictive timing requirements which may cause the Fund not to receive the reduced
treaty rates or potential reclaims. Other countries may subject capital gains realized by the Fund on sale or
disposition of securities of that country to taxation. These and other factors may make it difficult for the Fund
to determine in advance the effective rate of tax on its investments in certain countries. Under certain circumstances,
the Fund may elect to pass-through certain eligible foreign income taxes paid by the Fund to shareholders,
although it reserves the right not to do so. If the Fund makes such an election and obtains a refund of
foreign taxes paid by the Fund in a prior year, the Fund may be eligible to reduce the amount of foreign taxes
reported by the Fund to its shareholders, generally by the amount of the foreign taxes refunded, for the year
in which the refund is received. Certain foreign taxes imposed on the Fund's investments, such as a foreign
financial transaction tax, may not be creditable against U.S. income tax liability or eligible for pass
through by the Fund to its shareholders.
As a result of several court cases, in certain countries across the European Union,
the Fund may have filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in
those countries ("EU reclaims"). For U.S. income tax purposes, EU reclaims plus interest received by the
Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax deductions or credits on
their income tax returns, if any. Any interest received that offsets such foreign taxes is required to be reported
to the shareholder as additional dividend income from the Fund and included in the shareholder's gross income.
In the event that EU reclaims received by the Fund during a fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes
paid by the Fund, and the Fund previously passed through to its shareholders foreign taxes incurred by the
Fund to be used as a credit or deduction on a shareholder's income tax return, the Fund will enter into
a closing agreement with the IRS in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the Fund's shareholders.
Taxation of Fund Distributions (All Funds). The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain for each taxable year. Distributions
by the Fund will be treated in the manner described below regardless of whether such distributions
are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund (or of another Fund). The Fund will send
you information annually as to the federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during
the year.
Distributions of ordinary income. The Fund receives income generally in the form of dividends and/or interest on its investments. The Fund may also recognize ordinary income from other
sources, including, but not limited to, certain gains on foreign currency-related transactions. This income,
less expenses incurred in the operation of the Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income generally
are taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits. In the case of a Fund whose strategy includes investing in stocks of corporations, a portion of the income dividends paid to you
may be qualified dividends eligible to be taxed at reduced rates.
Capital gain dividends. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has
owned his or her shares. In general, the Fund will recognize long-term capital gain or loss on the
sale or other disposition of assets it has owned for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss on
investments it has owned for one year or less. Distributions of net capital gain (the excess of net long-term
capital gain over net short-term capital loss) that are properly reported by the Fund to shareholders as capital gain
dividends generally will be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as long-term capital
gain. Long-term capital gain rates applicable to individuals are 0%, 15% 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.
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,
PFICs, and income received “in lieu of” dividends in a securities lending transaction generally is not eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income. If the qualifying dividend income received by the Fund
is equal to 95% (or a greater percentage) of the Fund’s gross income (exclusive of net capital gain) in any taxable year, all of the ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund will be qualifying dividend income.
Qualified REIT dividends. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated
as qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. This
deduction, if allowed in full, equates to a maximum effective tax rate of 29.6% (37% top rate applied to income
after 20% deduction). A Fund may choose to report the special character of “qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund and a shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect
to their shares. A noncorporate shareholder receiving such dividends would treat them as eligible for
the 20% deduction, provided the RIC shares were held by the shareholder for more than 45 days during
the 91-day period beginning on the date that is 45 days before the date on which the shares become ex-dividend
with respect to such dividend. The amount of a RIC’s dividends eligible for the 20% deduction for a taxable year is limited to the excess of the RIC’s qualified REIT dividends for the taxable year over allocable expenses.
Corporate dividends-received deduction. Ordinary income dividends reported by the Fund to shareholders as derived from qualified dividends from domestic corporations will qualify for the
50% dividends-received deduction generally available to corporations. The availability of the dividends-received
deduction is subject to certain holding period and debt financing restrictions imposed under the Code on the
corporation claiming the deduction. Income derived by the Fund from investments in derivatives, fixed-income
and foreign securities generally is not eligible for this treatment.
Return of capital distributions. Distributions by the Fund that are not paid from earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of (and in reduction of) the shareholder’s tax basis in his shares; any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of his shares. Thus, the portion
of a distribution that constitutes a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his Fund shares (but not below zero), and will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount
of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
Return of capital distributions can occur for a number of reasons including, among others, the Fund
over-estimates the income to be received from certain investments such as those classified as partnerships or equity REITs. See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions – Investments in U.S. REITs”.
Impact of realized but undistributed income and gains, and net unrealized appreciation
of portfolio securities. At the time of your purchase of shares (except in a money market fund that maintains
a stable net asset value), the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation of portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution
to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable and would
be taxed as either ordinary income (some portion of which may be taxed as qualified dividend income)
or capital gain unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual
retirement account. The Fund may be able to reduce the amount of such distributions by utilizing
its capital loss carryovers, if any.
Pass-through of foreign tax credits. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the end of a fiscal year is invested in foreign securities, or if the Fund is a qualified fund
of funds (i.e., a fund at least 50 percent of the value of the total assets of which, at the close of each quarter of
the taxable year, is represented by interests in other RICs), the Fund may elect to “pass-through” to the Fund’s shareholders the amount of foreign income tax paid by the Fund (the Foreign Tax Election) in lieu of
deducting such amount in
determining its investment company taxable income. Pursuant to the Foreign Tax Election,
shareholders will be required (i) to include in gross income, even though not actually received, their
respective pro-rata shares of the foreign income tax paid by the Fund that are attributable to any distributions
they receive; and (ii) either to deduct their pro-rata share of foreign tax in computing their taxable income or
to use it (subject to various Code limitations) as a foreign tax credit against federal income tax (but not both).
No deduction for foreign tax may be claimed by a noncorporate shareholder who does not itemize deductions or who
is subject to the alternative minimum tax. Shareholders may be unable to claim a credit for the full
amount of their proportionate shares of the foreign income tax paid by the Fund due to certain limitations
that may apply. The Fund reserves the right not to pass-through to its shareholders the amount of foreign
income taxes paid by the Fund. Additionally, any foreign tax withheld on payments made “in lieu of” dividends or interest will not qualify for the pass-through of foreign tax credits to shareholders. See “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions — Securities lending” below.
Tax credit bonds. If the Fund holds, directly or indirectly, one or more “tax credit bonds” (including build America bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and qualified tax credit bonds) on one
or more applicable dates during a taxable year, the Fund may elect to permit its shareholders to claim
a tax credit on their income tax returns equal to each shareholder’s proportionate share of tax credits from the applicable bonds that otherwise would be allowed to the Fund. In such a case, shareholders must include
in gross income (as interest) their proportionate share of the income attributable to their proportionate
share of those offsetting tax credits. A shareholder’s ability to claim a tax credit associated with one or more tax credit bonds may be subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. (Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
build America bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and certain other qualified bonds may no longer be issued
after December 31, 2017.) Even if the Fund is eligible to pass-through tax credits to shareholders, the
Fund may choose not to do so.
U.S. government interest. Income earned on certain U.S. government obligations is exempt from state and local personal income taxes if earned directly by you. States also grant tax-free
status to dividends paid to you from interest earned on direct obligations of the U.S. government, subject
in some states to minimum investment or reporting requirements that must be met by the Fund. Income on investments
by the Fund in certain other obligations, such as repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government
obligations, commercial paper and federal agency-backed obligations (e.g., GNMA or FNMA obligations),
generally does not qualify for tax-free treatment. The rules on exclusion of this income are different
for corporations. If the Fund is a fund of funds, see “Taxation of the Fund — Asset allocation funds.”
Dividends declared in December and paid in January. Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund into account in the year in which the distributions are
made. However, dividends declared in October, November or December of any year and payable to shareholders
of record on a specified date in such a month will be deemed to have been received by the shareholders
(and made by the Fund) on December 31 of such calendar year if such dividends are actually paid in
January of the following year. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences
of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year in accordance with the guidance that has been
provided by the IRS.
Medicare tax. A 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on net investment income earned by certain individuals,
estates and trusts. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income, including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains
from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares, reduced by the deductions properly allocable
to such income. In the case of an individual, the tax will be imposed on the lesser of (1) the shareholder’s net investment income or (2) the amount by which the shareholder’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds $250,000 (if the shareholder is married and filing jointly or a surviving spouse), $125,000 (if the
shareholder is married and filing separately) or $200,000 (in any other case). This Medicare tax, if applicable,
is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
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.
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
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 the Fund are found in Appendix O.
The Trust has adopted two different forms of distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act for the Funds’ Class A shares, Class C shares, Class R shares and Investor Class shares, as applicable (each, a Plan, and together, the Plans).
The following Funds, pursuant to their Compensation Plan (Distribution and Service),

The Compensation Plan compensates and the Reimbursement Plan (Distribution and Service)
reimburses Invesco Distributors for expenses incurred for the purpose of financing
any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Funds. Such activities include, but
are not limited to, the following: printing and distributing prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes,
preparing and distributing sales literature (and any related services), advertisements, payment
of dealer commissions and wholesaler compensation in connection with sales of certain Fund's Class A shares
exceeding a certain amount set forth in the prospectus for such Fund (for which the Fund imposes no sales
charge) and other distribution-related services permitted by Rule 12b-1. The Reimbursement Plan (Service
Only) reimburses Invesco Distributors for expenses incurred for shareholder services provided for existing
shareholders of a Fund.
Payments pursuant to the Plans are subject to any applicable limitations imposed by
FINRA rules.
See Appendix M for a list of the amounts paid by each class of shares of each Fund
to Invesco Distributors pursuant to the Plans for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, and Appendix N for an estimate by category of the allocation of actual fees paid by each class of shares of each
Fund pursuant to its respective distribution plan for the fiscal year ended October 31, 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.
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
R and Investor Class 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.
The audited financial statements for the Funds’ most recent fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, including the notes thereto and the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP thereon, are incorporated
by reference to the annual report to shareholders contained in the Funds’ Form N-CSR filed on January 3, 2024.
The portions of such annual reports that are not specifically listed above are not
incorporated by reference into this SAI and are not a part of this Registration Statement.
APPENDIX A - RATINGS OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following is a description of the factors underlying the debt ratings of Moody's,
S&P, and Fitch.
Moody's Long-Term Debt Ratings
Aaa: Obligations rated 'Aaa' are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the
lowest level of credit risk.
Aa: Obligations rated 'Aa' are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very
low credit risk.
A: Obligations rated 'A' are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low
credit risk.
Baa: Obligations rated 'Baa' are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit
risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Ba: Obligations rated 'Ba' are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial
credit risk.
B: Obligations rated 'B' are considered speculative and are subject to high credit
risk.
Caa: Obligations rated 'Caa' are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject
to very high credit risk.
Ca: Obligations rated 'Ca' are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default,
with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.
C: Obligations rated 'C' are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little
prospect for recovery of principal or interest.
Note: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification
from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic
rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in
the lower end of that generic rating category. Additionally, a “(hyb)” indicator is appended to all ratings of hybrid securities issued by banks, insurers, finance companies, and securities firms*.
* By their terms, hybrid securities allow for the omission of scheduled dividends,
interest, or principal payments, which can potentially result in impairment if such an omission occurs. Hybrid
securities may also be subject to contractually allowable write-downs of principal that could result in
impairment. Together with the hybrid indicator, the long-term obligation rating assigned to a hybrid security
is an expression of the relative credit risk associated with that security.
Moody's Short-Term Prime Rating System
P-1: Ratings of Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term obligations.
P-2: Ratings of Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term obligations.
P-3: Ratings of Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.
NP (Not Prime): Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the
Prime rating categories.
Moody's MIG/VMIG US Short-Term Ratings
Short-Term Obligation Ratings
We use the global short-term Prime rating scale for commercial paper issued by US
municipalities and nonprofits. These commercial paper programs may be backed by external letters of credit
or liquidity facilities, or by an issuer’s self-liquidity.
For other short-term municipal obligations, we use one of two other short-term rating
scales, the Municipal Investment Grade (MIG) and Variable Municipal Investment Grade (VMIG) scales discussed
below.
We use the MIG scale for US municipal cash flow notes, bond anticipation notes and
certain other short-term obligations, which typically mature in three years or less. Under certain circumstances,
we use the MIG scale for bond anticipation notes with maturities of up to five years.
MIG 1: This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded
by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access
to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2: This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample,
although not as large as in the preceding group.
MIG 3: This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection
may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
SG: This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this
category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
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 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
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' 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' 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.
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’ 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.
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' 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.
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.

Invesco Ltd. and its wholly owned investment adviser subsidiaries (collectively, “Invesco”, the “Company”, “our” or “we”) have adopted and implemented this Policy Statement on Global Corporate Governance and
Proxy Voting (“Global Proxy Voting Policy” or “Policy”), which we believe describe policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure proxy voting matters are conducted in the best interests of our clients.
A.
Our Approach to Proxy Voting
Invesco understands proxy voting is an integral aspect of the investment management services it provides to clients. As an investment adviser, Invesco has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of our clients. Where Invesco has been delegated the authority to vote proxies with respect to securities
held in client portfolios, we exercise such authority in the manner we believe best serves the interests of our clients and their investment objectives. We recognize that proxy voting is an important tool that enables us to drive shareholder value.
A summary of our global operational procedures and governance structure is included
in Part II of this Policy. Invesco’s good governance principles, which are included in Part III of this Policy, and our internal proxy voting guidelines are both principles and rules-based and cover topics
that typically appear on voting ballots. Invesco’s portfolio management teams retain ultimate authority to vote proxies. Given the complexity of proxy issues across our clients’ holdings globally, our investment teams consider many factors when determining how to cast votes. We seek to evaluate and make voting decisions that favor proxy proposals and governance practices that, in our view, promote
long-term shareholder value.
B.
Applicability of Policy
Invesco’s portfolio management 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 is implemented by all entities listed in Exhibit A, except as noted below. 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 local policies and this Policy differ, the local policy will apply. These entities subject to local policies are listed in Exhibit A and include: Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Asset Management (India) Pvt. Ltd, Invesco Taiwan
Ltd, Invesco Real Estate Management S.a.r.l and Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. for Invesco Unit Investment Trusts.
Where our passively managed strategies and certain other client accounts managed in accordance
with fixed income, money market and index strategies (including exchange-traded funds) (referred to as “passively managed accounts”) hold the same investments as our actively managed equity funds, voting decisions with respect to those accounts generally follow the voting decisions made
by the largest active holder of the equity shares. Invesco refers to this approach as “Majority Voting.” This process of Majority Voting seeks to ensure that our passively managed accounts benefit from the engagement
and deep dialogue of our active investment teams, which Invesco believes benefits shareholders in passively managed accounts. Invesco will generally apply the majority holder’s vote instruction to these passively managed accounts. Where securities are held only in passively managed accounts and not owned in our actively managed accounts, the proxy will be generally voted in line with this Policy and internal proxy voting guidelines. Notwithstanding the above, portfolio management teams of our passively managed accounts retain full discretion over proxy voting decisions and may determine
it appropriate to individually evaluate a specific proxy proposal or override Majority Voting and 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 the Policy. To the extent our portfolio management teams believe a specific proxy proposal requires enhanced analysis or if it is not covered by the Policy or
internal guidelines, our portfolio management teams will evaluate such proposal and execute the voting decision.
II.
Global Proxy Voting Operational Procedures
Invesco’s global proxy voting operational procedures (the “Procedures”) are in place to implement the provisions of this Policy. Invesco aims to vote all proxies where we have been granted voting authority in accordance with this Policy, as implemented by the Procedures outlined in this Section II. It is the responsibility of Invesco’s Proxy Voting and Governance team to maintain and facilitate the review of the Procedures annually.
A.
Oversight and Governance
Oversight of the proxy voting process is provided by the Proxy Voting and Governance
team and the Global Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee (“Global IPAC”). For some clients, third parties (e.g., U.S. fund boards) and internal sub-committees also provide oversight of the proxy voting
process.
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 and Invesco’s Global Head of ESG and is chaired by its Director of Proxy Voting and Governance. Representatives from Invesco’s Legal and Compliance, Risk and Government Affairs departments may also participate in Global IPAC meetings. The
Global IPAC provides a forum for investment teams, in accordance with this Policy, to:
•
monitor, understand and discuss key proxy issues and voting trends within the Invesco
complex;
•
assist Invesco in meeting regulatory obligations;
•
review votes not aligned with our good governance principles; and
•
consider conflicts of interest in the proxy voting process.
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 Proxy Voting and Governance team and portfolio management teams 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; and (iv) 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, when necessary, the Global IPAC Conflict of Interest Sub-committee makes voting decisions
on proxies that require an override of the Policy due to an actual or perceived conflict
of interest; the Global IPAC reviews any such voting decisions.
B.
The Proxy Voting Process
At Invesco, investment teams execute voting decisions through our proprietary voting platform
and are supported by the Proxy Voting and Governance team and a dedicated technology team. Invesco’s proprietary voting platform streamlines the proxy voting process by providing our global investment teams with direct access to proxy meeting materials including ballots, Invesco’s internal proxy voting guidelines and recommendations, as well as proxy research and vote recommendations issued by Proxy Service Providers (as such term is defined below). Votes executed on Invesco’s proprietary voting platform are transmitted to our proxy voting agent electronically and are then delivered to the respective designee for tabulation.
Invesco’s Proxy Voting and Governance team monitors whether we have received proxy ballots
for shareholder meetings in which we are entitled to vote. This involves coordination among various parties in the proxy voting ecosystem, such as our proxy voting agent, custodians and ballot distributors. If necessary, we may choose to escalate a matter to facilitate our ability to exercise
our right to vote.
Our proprietary systems facilitate internal control and oversight of the voting process.
To facilitate the casting of votes in an efficient manner, Invesco may choose to pre-populate and leverage the capabilities of these proprietary systems to automatically submit votes based on its internal proxy voting guidelines and in circumstances where Majority Voting, share blocking (as defined below) or proportional voting applies. If necessary, votes may be cast by Invesco or via the Proxy Service Providers Web
platform at our direction.
C.
Retention and Oversight of Proxy Service Providers
Invesco has retained two independent third party proxy voting service providers to provide
proxy support globally: Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) and Glass Lewis (“GL”). In addition to ISS and
GL, Invesco may retain certain local proxy service providers to access regionally specific research (collectively with ISS and GL, “Proxy Service Providers”). The services may include one or more of the following: providing a comprehensive analysis of each voting item and interpretations of each based on Invesco’s internally developed proxy voting guidelines; and providing assistance with the administration of the proxy process and certain proxy voting-related functions, including, but not limited to, operational, reporting and recordkeeping services.
While Invesco may take into consideration the information and recommendations provided
by the Proxy Service Providers, including based upon Invesco’s internal proxy voting guidelines and recommendations provided to such Proxy Service Providers, Invesco’s portfolio management teams retain full and independent discretion with respect to proxy voting decisions.
Updates to previously issued proxy research reports and recommendations 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 Proxy Voting and Governance team periodically monitors for these research alerts issued by Proxy Service Providers that are shared with our portfolio management teams.
Invesco performs extensive initial and ongoing due diligence on the Proxy Service
Providers it engages globally. Invesco conducts annual due diligence meetings as part of its ongoing oversight
of Proxy Service Providers. The topics included in these annual due diligence reviews include
material changes in service levels, leadership and control, conflicts of interest, methodologies for
formulating vote recommendations, operations, and research personnel, among other things. In addition,
Invesco monitors and communicates with these firms throughout the year and monitors their
compliance with Invesco’s performance and policy standards.
As part of our annual policy development process, Invesco may engage with other external
proxy and governance experts to understand market trends and developments. These meetings provide
Invesco with an opportunity to assess the Proxy Service Providers’ capabilities, conflicts of interest and service levels, as well as provide investment professionals with direct insight into the Proxy Service Providers’ stances on key corporate governance and proxy topics and their policy framework/methodologies.
Invesco completes a review of the System and Organizational Controls (“SOC”) Reports for Proxy Service Providers to confirm the related controls operated effectively to provide
reasonable assurance.
D.
Disclosures and Recordkeeping
Unless otherwise required by local or regional requirements, Invesco maintains voting
records for at least seven (7) years. Invesco makes its proxy voting records publicly available in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices in the regions below:
•
In accordance with the U.S. 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. In addition, Invesco, as an institutional manager that is required to file Form 13F, will file a record of its votes on certain executive compensation (“say on pay”) matters. These fund proxy voting filings and institutional manager say on pay voting filings will
generally be made on or before August 31st of each year. Each year, the proxy voting records for each U.S. registered fund 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 adviser’s voting procedure with respect to plan-owned stock, but also to review the actions taken in individual
proxy voting situations. In the case of institutional and sub-advised clients, clients may contact their client service representative to request information about how Invesco voted proxies on their
behalf. Absent specific contractual guidelines, such requests may be made on a semi-annual
basis.
•
In the UK and Europe, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes monthly in compliance
with the UK Stewardship Code and for the European Shareholder Rights Directive annually here.
•
In Canada, Invesco publicly discloses our annual proxy votes each year here by August 31st, covering the 12-month period ending June 30th in compliance with the National Instrument
81-106 Investment Fund Continuous Disclosure.
•
In Japan, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes annually in compliance with the
Japan Stewardship Code here.
•
In India, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy votes quarterly here in compliance with The Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) Circular on stewardship code for all Mutual Funds and all categories of Alternative Investment Funds in relation to their investment
in listed equities. SEBI has implemented principles on voting for Mutual Funds through circulars
dated March 15, 2010, March 24, 2014 and March 5, 2021, which prescribed detailed mandatory requirements for Mutual Funds in India to disclose their voting policies and actual
voting by Mutual Funds on different resolutions of investee companies.
•
In Hong Kong, Invesco Hong Kong Limited will provide proxy voting records upon request
in compliance with the Securities and Futures Commission (“SFC”) Principles of Responsible Ownership.
•
In Taiwan, Invesco publicly discloses our proxy voting policy and proxy votes annually
in compliance with Taiwan’s Stewardship Principles for Institutional Investors here.
•
In Australia, Invesco publicly discloses a summary of its proxy voting record annually
here.
•
In Singapore, Invesco Asset Management Singapore Ltd. will provide proxy voting records
upon request in compliance with the Singapore Stewardship Principles for Responsible Investors.
Invesco may engage Proxy Service Providers to make available or maintain certain required proxy voting records in accordance with the above stated applicable regulations. Separately managed account clients that have authorized Invesco to vote proxies on their behalf will receive
proxy voting information with respect to those accounts upon request. Certain other clients may obtain information about how we voted proxies on their behalf by contacting their client service representative or advisor. Invesco does not publicly pre-disclose voting intentions in advance of shareholder meetings.
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 exceed 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:
•
Certain countries impose temporary trading restrictions, a practice known as “share blocking.” This means that once the shares have been voted, the shareholder does not have the ability to sell the shares for a certain period of time, usually until the day after the conclusion
of the shareholder meeting. Invesco generally refrains from voting proxies at companies where share blocking applies. In some instances, Invesco may determine that the benefit to the client(s) of voting a specific proxy outweighs the client’s temporary inability to sell the shares.
•
Some companies require a representative to attend meetings in person to vote a proxy,
or submit additional documentation or the disclosure of beneficial owner details to vote. Invesco
may determine that the costs of sending a representative or submitting additional documentation or 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. Invesco will generally endeavor to vote and maintain any paper ballots received provided
they are delivered in a timely manner ahead of the vote deadline.
Invesco’s funds may participate in a securities lending program. In circumstances where funds’ 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
vote is material to the investment and therefore, the benefit to the client of voting a particular proxy outweighs the economic 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.
For example, for certain actively managed funds, the lending agent has standing instructions to systematically
recall all securities on loan for Invesco to vote the proxies on those previously loaned shares. There may be instances where Invesco may be unable to recall shares or may choose not to recall
shares. Such circumstances may include instances when Invesco does not receive timely notice of
the meeting, or when Invesco deems the opportunity for a fund to generate securities lending revenue
to outweigh the benefits of voting at a specific meeting. The relevant portfolio manager will make these determinations.
There may be occasions where voting proxies may present a perceived or actual conflict
of interest between Invesco, as investment adviser, 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, or serving as 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 Proxy Voting and Governance team. These criteria are monitored and updated periodically by the Proxy Voting and Governance team so up-to-date information 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 internal proxy voting guidelines. To the extent a portfolio manager disagrees with the Policy, our
processes and procedures seek to ensure that justifications 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 are 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.
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 examples of how Invesco votes in these instances:
•
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 U.S. funds 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.
•
Non-U.S. funds of funds will not be voted proportionally. The applicable Invesco entity will vote in line with its local policies, as indicated in Exhibit A. If no local policies exist, Invesco will vote non-U.S. funds of funds in line with the firm level conflicts of interest process described
above.
•
Where client accounts are invested directly in shares issued by Invesco affiliates
and Invesco has proxy voting authority, shares will be voted proportionally in line with non-affiliated holders. If proportional voting is not possible, the shares will be voted in line with a Proxy Service Provider’s recommendation.
It is the responsibility of the Global IPAC to review this Policy and the internal proxy voting guidelines annually to consider whether any changes are warranted. This annual review seeks to ensure this Policy and the internal proxy voting guidelines remain consistent with clients’ best interests, regulatory requirements, local market standards and best practices. Further, this Policy and our internal proxy voting guidelines are reviewed at least annually by various departments within Invesco to seek 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 Proxy Voting and Governance team and various departments internally. 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 management teams retain full discretion on vote execution in the context of our good governance principles and internal proxy 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 proxy votes for the same company. To the extent portfolio management teams choose to vote a proxy in a way that is not aligned with the principles below, such manager’s rationales are fully documented.
When evaluating proxy issues and determining how to cast our votes, Invesco’s portfolio management teams may engage with companies in advance of shareholder meetings, and throughout
the year. These meetings can be joint efforts between our global investment professionals.
The following guiding principles apply to proxy voting with respect to operating companies. We apply a separate approach to open-end and closed-end investment companies and unit investment
trusts. Where appropriate, these guidelines may be supplemented by additional internal guidance that considers regional variations in best practices, company 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:
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 review and 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 if 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.
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. We may make exceptions to this policy for non-operating companies (e.g., open-end and closed-end investment companies).
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 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 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, or nearest equivalent, 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, or nearest equivalent, 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:
i.
meeting procedures and requirements are disclosed in advance of a meeting detailing
the rationale for eliminating the in-person meeting;
ii.
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;
iii.
disclosure regarding procedures for questions received during the meeting, but not
answered due to time or other restrictions; and
iv.
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 nearest equivalent, 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
investment companies) 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, or nearest equivalent, 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 or withhold votes from directors who attend less than 75% of board and committee meetings for two consecutive years. We expect companies to disclose any extenuating circumstances, such as health matters or family emergencies, that would justify a director’s low attendance, in line with good practices.
•
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 believe an effective board should be comprised of directors with a mix of skills, experience, tenure, and industry expertise together with a diverse profile of individuals of different
genders, ethnicities, race, culture, age, perspectives and backgrounds. The board should reflect the diversity of the workforce, customers, and the communities in which the business operates.
In our view, greater diversity in the boardroom contributes to robust challenge and debate, avoids groupthink, fosters innovation, and provides competitive advantage to companies. We consider diversity at the board level, within the executive management team and in the succession pipeline.
•
In markets where there are regulatory expectations, listing standards or minimum quotas
for board diversity, Invesco will generally apply the same expectations. In all other markets, we will generally vote against the incumbent nominating committee chair of a board, or nearest equivalent, where a company failed to demonstrate improvements are being made to diversity practices for three or more consecutive years, recognizing that building a qualified and diverse board takes time. We may make exceptions to this policy for non-operating companies (e.g., open-end and closed-end investment companies).
•
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 toward 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 sub-committees when determining if it is appropriate to hold the incumbent chair of the relevant committee, or nearest equivalent, 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.
•
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 aligned with applicable regional regulatory requirements. 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 issues: We recognize environmental and social (E&S) shareholder proposals are nuanced and therefore, Invesco will analyze
such proposals on a case-by-case basis.
Invesco may support shareholder resolutions requesting that specific actions be taken
to address 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 the following but not limited to: 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.
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
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.
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.

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

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.
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.

14. Environment, Social and Governance (ESG)
We support the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI) and acknowledge
that company’s ESG practices are an important factor in investment decision making. Thus, we consider voting against the reappointment of top executives and directors in charge if we judge that
there is an issue that could significantly damage corporate value. We consider voting for proposals related
to ESG materiality, including climate change or diversity, if we judge that such proposals contribute
to preventing from damaging or expanding corporate value. If not, we consider voting against such proposals.
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 have established the Conflict of Interest Management Policy. In the situation that
may give rise to a conflict of interest, we aim to control it in the best interests of clients (investors)
and beneficiaries. The Compliance department is responsible for governing company-wide control of a conflict
of interest. The Compliance department is independent of the Investment and Sales departments and shall
not receive any
command or order for the matters compliant with the laws and regulations, including
a conflict of interest, from the Investment and Sales departments.
Proxy voting and stewardship activities are reported to the Responsible Investment
Committee. The Responsible Investment Committee approves them. Besides, the Compliance department

Committee in Tokyo and the Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee.

2021 have amended certain provisions of above mentioned circular specifying additional compliance
/ disclosure requirements with respect to exercise of voting rights by mutual funds so as to further
improve transparency as well as encourage Mutual Funds/AMCs to diligently exercise their voting rights
in best interest of the unitholders. In this respect, AMFI vide its best practices guidelines circular no.
35P/ MEM-COR/ 51/ 2020-21 dated March 09, 2021 has communicated that it would be mandatory for the Mutual Funds
to cast their votes ‘For’ or ‘Against’ and Abstention will not be counted as having voted.
This policy is drafted in pursuance of SEBI circular dated March 15, 2010 read with
March 24, 2014, August 10, 2016, December 24, 2019 and circular dated March 5, 2021 and provides general
philosophy, broad guidelines, procedures and principles for exercising voting rights.
Invesco Asset Management (India) Private Limited (“IAMI”) is an Investment Manager to the scheme(s) of Invesco Mutual Fund (“the Fund”). As an investment manager, IAMI has fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of unit-holders of the Fund. This responsibility includes exercising
voting rights attached to the securities of the companies in which the schemes of the Fund invest. It will be IAMI’s endeavor to participate in the voting process (i.e. exercise voting rights) based on the philosophy
enunciated in this policy.
B.
Philosophy of Voting Policy
Good corporate governance ensures that a corporation is managed keeping in mind the
long-term interest of shareholders. Promoting good corporate governance standards forms an integral part
of corporate ownership responsibilities.
With this in the forefront, IAMI expects all corporations, in which it invests in,
to comply with high corporate governance standards. Accordingly, as the decision to invest is generally an endorsement
of sound management practices, IAMI may generally vote with the management of these corporations.
However, when IAMI is of the view that the unit holders will be prejudiced by any such proposal,
then it may vote against such proposal to protect the interest of unit holders. Also, in case of resolutions
moved by the shareholders of the company, IAMI will exercise its voting rights in the best interest
of its unit holders. Other than matters mentioned under section D (I), in certain circumstances, IAMI may also
decide to refrain from voting where it has insufficient information or there is conflict of interest or it
does not have a clear stance on the proposal under consideration.
IAMI, as an investment manager, will generally vote in accordance with the Voting
Policy. However, it may deviate from the policy if there are particular facts and/or circumstances that warrant
for such deviation to protect the interests of unit-holders of the Fund.
C.
Conflict of Interest in Exercising Voting Rights
IAMI, under schemes, may invest in the securities of associate/group companies (to
the extent permitted under SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 as amended from time to time). Further,
IAMI is an Indian subsidiary of global organization consisting of many affiliates. Moreover, schemes
under IAMI may invest in securities of companies which have invested in schemes of Invesco Mutual Fund. Such
scenarios may lead
to a situation creating conflict of interest. Potential Conflict of interest may also
arise if IAMI and the investee company are associates or are part of the same group; or the investee company
holds a material ownership interest in IAMI; a nominee of IAMI has been appointed as a director of
the investee company or having cross-directorships, the Investee Company is an entity participating in the
distribution of investment products advised or administered by the Investment Manager and/or any of its affiliate;
the Investee Company is a client of Investment Manager and/or its affiliates.
IAMI will attempt to avoid conflict of interest and will exercise its voting rights
in the best interest of the unit-holders. Voting decisions in such cases will be based on merits without any bias and the same
parameters will be applied for taking voting decisions as are applied for other companies.
In cases where there is a potential conflict of interest, IAMI will vote exactly as
per recommendations of the proxy voting advisory entity with no modifications whatsoever. In case there is need
for a clearer direction, the matter may be referred to the Investment committee for its guidance. Rationale
for decision taken/ voting on the issue shall be recorded.
D.
Voting Policy Guidelines
I. The matters regarding, but not limited to, which the IAMI will exercise the voting
rights in the Annual General Meeting (AGMs) /Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EGMs)/ Through Postal Ballots/Electronic

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.

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.

APPENDIX 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.
•
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.

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

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

or profit sharing plans that qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,

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.
•

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):
•
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.
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.
•
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.
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.
Certain participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted
ROA at the plan level prior to December 15, 2023, are also eligible to receive a reduced applicable
initial sales charge pursuant to that plan-level ROA arrangement.
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.
•
Certain participants in Employer-Sponsored IRA Plans utilizing Invesco Trust Company
custodial accounts who were offered Class A shares without an initial sales charge prior to
December 15, 2023, who purchase additional Class A shares.
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). 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.
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.
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. Effective August 28, 2023, the Funds’ transfer agent no longer accepts Check Writing authorization forms. Effective December 31, 2023, the Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of redemption.
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,
the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares
redeemed, if such fee is determined to be in the best interest of the Fund. The Board may delegate liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser. For Funds that do not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, when a fee 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 at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. When a fee 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 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.
Inactive or Unclaimed Accounts. The Fund may be required to close your account after a period of inactivity, as determined by applicable U.S. state or territory abandoned or unclaimed
property laws and regulations, and transfer your shares to the appropriate U.S. state or territory.
Please be advised that abandoned or unclaimed property laws and regulations for certain U.S. states or territories
require financial organizations to transfer (escheat) unclaimed property to the appropriate U.S. state
or territory if no activity occurs in an account for a period of time as specified by applicable laws and regulations.
These laws and regulations may require the transfer of shares of the Fund, including shares held
through a traditional or Roth IRA account. For traditional IRA accounts escheated to a U.S. state or territory under
these abandoned or unclaimed property laws and regulations, the escheatment will generally be treated
as a taxable distribution from your IRA to you; federal and any applicable state income tax may be withheld.
This may apply to Roth IRA accounts in addition to traditional IRA accounts. 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 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. For more information on unclaimed property and how to maintain an active account, please contact the Fund's transfer agent.
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.
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 November 30, 2023, a Fund – Class A shares had a net asset value per share of $10.59. The offering price, assuming an initial sales charge of 5.50%, therefore was $11.21.
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. Where a final settlement price exists, exchange traded options are valued at the final settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades. When a final settlement price does not exist, exchange traded options shall be valued at the mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option principally trades. 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. 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. 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 the Adviser 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.
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.
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.
Item 30. Indemnification.
Indemnification provisions for officers, trustees, and employees of the Registrant are set forth in Article VIII of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Article VIII of its Bylaws
and are hereby incorporated by reference. See Items 28(a) and (b) above. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration
of Trust, effective as of September 20, 2022, (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally
liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Registrant’s Bylaws and other applicable law; (iii) in case any shareholder or former shareholder of the Registrant shall be held
to be personally liable solely by reason of his being or having been a shareholder of the Registrant or any portfolio or class and not because
of his acts or omissions or for some other reason, the shareholder or former shareholder (or his heirs, executors, administrators
or other legal representatives, or, in the case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or general successor) shall be entitled,
out of the assets belonging to the applicable portfolio (or allocable to the applicable class), to be held harmless from and indemnified against
all loss and expense arising from such liability in accordance with the Bylaws and applicable law. The Registrant, on behalf
of the affected portfolio (or class), shall upon request by the shareholder, assume the defense of any such claim made against the
shareholder for any act or obligation of that portfolio (or class).
The Registrant and other investment companies and their respective officers and trustees
are insured under a joint Mutual Fund Directors and Officers Liability Policy, issued by ICI Mutual Insurance Company and
certain other domestic insurers, with limits up to $100,000,000 and an additional $50,000,000 of excess coverage (plus an additional
$30,000,000 limit that applies to independent directors/trustees only).
Section 16 of the Master Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and
Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco) provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of Invesco or any of its officers, directors or employees, that Invesco shall
not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any series of the Registrant, or to any shareholder of any series of the Registrant for
any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the
purchase, holding or sale of any security. Any liability of Invesco to any series of the Registrant shall not automatically impart
liability on the part of Invesco to any other series of the Registrant. No series of the Registrant shall be liable for the obligations of
any other series of the Registrant.
Section 10 of the Master Intergroup Sub-Advisory Contract for Mutual Funds (the Sub-Advisory
Contract) between Invesco, on behalf of Registrant, and each of Invesco Asset Management Deutschland GmbH, Invesco
Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco 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 31. Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser.
The only employment of a substantial nature of Invesco’s directors and officers is with Invesco and its affiliated companies. For information as to the business, profession, vocation or employment of a substantial

Section 2.1 Shares of Beneficial Interest.
The beneficial interests of the Trust shall be divided into an unlimited number of Shares. The Trustees may, without Shareholder approval,
authorize the Trust (A) to establish and designate one or more series of beneficial interests within the meaning of Section 3804(a) of
the Delaware Act, which shall constitute the Trust’s Portfolio(s) and (B) to divide the Shares of any Portfolio into one
or more separate and distinct Classes. All Shares issued hereunder, including, without limitation, Shares issued in connection with a
dividend or other distribution in Shares or a split or reverse split of Shares, shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Section 2.2
Issuance of Shares. The Trustees in their discretion may, from time to time, without vote of the Shareholders, create and issue
Shares, in addition to the then issued and Outstanding Shares, to such party or parties and for such amount and type of consideration,
subject to applicable law, including cash or securities, at such time or times and on such terms as the Trustees may deem appropriate,
and may in such manner acquire other assets (including the acquisition of assets subject to, and in connection with, the assumption of
liabilities) and businesses. In connection with any issuance of Shares, the Trustees may issue fractional Shares. The Trustees may from
time to time divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number without thereby changing the proportionate beneficial interests
in the Trust. Contributions to the Trust may be accepted for, and Shares shall be redeemed as, whole Shares and/or 1/1,000th
of a Share or integral multiples thereof.
Section 2.3 Establishment of Portfolios and Classes.
| (a) | The Trust shall consist of one or more separate and distinct Portfolios, each with an unlimited number of Shares unless otherwise
specified. The Trustees hereby establish and designate the Portfolios listed on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Schedule
A”). Each additional Portfolio shall be established by the adoption of one or more resolutions by the Trustees that sets forth the
designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Portfolio, whether directly in such resolution or by reference to, or approval of, another
document that sets forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Portfolio, including any Registration Statement, any amendment
of this Agreement and/or Schedule A or as otherwise provided in such resolution. Upon the establishment of any Portfolio or the termination
of any existing Portfolio, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the addition or termination of such Portfolio and any officer of the
Trust is hereby authorized to make such amendment; provided that the amendment of Schedule A shall not be a condition precedent to the
establishment or termination of any Portfolio in accordance with this Agreement. The Shares of each Portfolio shall have the relative
rights and preferences provided for herein and such rights and preferences as may be designated by the Trustees in any amendment or modification
to the Trust’s Governing Instrument, unless the establishing resolution or any other resolution adopted pursuant to this Section 2.3
or the Registration Statement otherwise provides. The Trust shall maintain separate and distinct records of each Portfolio and shall hold
the assets belonging to such Portfolio in such separate and distinct records and shall account for such assets in such separate and distinct
records separately from the other Trust Property and the assets belonging to any other Portfolio. Each Share of a Portfolio shall represent
an equal beneficial interest in the net assets belonging to that Portfolio, except to the extent of Class Expenses and other expenses
separately allocated to Classes thereof (if any Classes have been established) as permitted herein. |
Any action that may be taken by the Trustees with respect to
any Portfolio, including any addition, modification, division, combination, classification, reclassification, change of name or termination
may be made in the same manner as the establishment of such Portfolio.
| (b) | The Trustees may establish one or more Classes of Shares of any Portfolio, each with an unlimited number of Shares unless otherwise
specified. The Trustees hereby establish and designate the Classes listed on Schedule A attached hereto and made part hereof. Each additional
Class shall be established by the adoption of one or more resolutions by the Trustees that set(s) forth the designation of,
or otherwise identifies, such Class, whether directly in such resolution or by reference to, or approval of, another document that sets
forth the designation of, or otherwise identifies, such Class including any Registration Statement, any amendment of this Agreement
and/or Schedule A or as otherwise provided in such resolution. Upon the establishment of any Class or Shares of any Portfolio or
the termination of any existing Class of Shares, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the addition or termination of such Class and
any officer of the Trust is hereby authorized to make such amendment; provided that the amendment of Schedule A shall not be a condition
precedent to the establishment or termination of any Class in accordance with this Agreement. The Shares of each Class shall
have the relative rights and preferences provided for herein and such rights and preferences as may be designated by the Trustees in any
amendment or modification to the Trust’s Governing Instrument, unless the establishing resolution or any other resolution adopted
pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Registration Statement otherwise provides. Each Class so established and designated shall represent
a Proportionate Interest (as defined in Section 2.5(d)) in the net assets belonging to that Portfolio and shall have identical voting,
dividend, liquidation, and other rights and be subject to the same terms and conditions, except that (1) Class Expenses allocated
to a Class for which such expenses were incurred shall be borne solely by that Class, (2) other expenses, costs, charges, and
reserves allocated to a Class in accordance with Section 2.5(e) may be borne solely by that Class, provided that the allocation
of such other expenses, costs, charges, and reserves is not specifically required to be set forth in a plan adopted by the Trust pursuant
to Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act, (3) dividends declared and payable to a Class pursuant
to Section 7.1 shall reflect the items separately allocated thereto pursuant to the preceding clauses, (4) each Class may have separate rights to convert
to another Class, exchange rights, and similar rights, each as determined by the Trustees, and (5) each Class may have exclusive
voting rights with respect to matters affecting only that Class. |
Section 2.4 Actions
Affecting Portfolios and Classes. The Trustees shall have full power and authority, in their sole discretion without obtaining any
prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders of any Portfolio, or Class thereof, to establish and designate and to change in
any manner any Portfolio of Shares, or any Class or Classes thereof; to fix or change such preferences, voting powers, rights, and
privileges of any Portfolio, or Classes thereof, as the Trustees may from time to time determine, including any change that may adversely
affect a Shareholder; to divide or combine the Shares of any Portfolio, or Classes thereof, into a greater or lesser number of Shares;
to classify or reclassify or convert any issued or unissued Shares of any Portfolio, or Classes thereof, into one or more Portfolios
or Classes of Shares of a Portfolio and in connection therewith, to cause some or all of the Shareholders of such Portfolio or Class to
be admitted as Shareholders of such other Portfolio or Class; and to take such other action with respect to the Shares as the Trustees
may deem desirable. A Portfolio and any Class thereof may issue any number of Shares but need not issue any Shares. At any time
that there are no Outstanding Shares of any particular Portfolio or Class previously established and designated, the Trustees may
abolish that Portfolio or Class and the establishment and designation thereof.
Section 2.5 Relative Rights and Preferences.
Unless the establishing resolution or any other resolution adopted pursuant to Section 2.3 or the Registration Statement otherwise
provides, Shares of each Portfolio or Class thereof established hereunder shall have the following relative rights and preferences:
| (a) | Except as set forth in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.5, each Share of a Portfolio, regardless of Class, shall represent
an equal pro rata interest in the assets belonging to such Portfolio and shall have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other
rights, preferences, powers, restrictions, limitations, qualifications and designations and terms and conditions with each other Share
of such Portfolio. |
| (b) | Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust
or the Trustees, whether of the same or other Portfolio (or Class). |
| (c) | All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale of Shares of a particular Portfolio, together with all assets in which
such consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from
the sale, exchange, or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever
form the same may be, shall be held in separate and distinct records and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately
from the other assets of the Trust and of every other Portfolio and may be referred to herein as “assets belonging to” that
Portfolio. The assets belonging to a particular Portfolio shall belong to that Portfolio for all purposes, and to no other Portfolio,
subject only to the rights of creditors of that Portfolio. In addition, any assets, income, earnings, profits or funds, or payments and
proceeds with respect thereto, which are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Portfolio shall be allocated by the Trustees
between and among one or more of the Portfolios in such manner as the Trustees, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable. Each
such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all Portfolios thereof for all purposes, and such assets, income,
earnings, profits, or funds, or payments and proceeds with respect thereto shall be assets belonging to that Portfolio. |
| (d) | Each Class of a Portfolio shall have a proportionate undivided interest (as determined by or at the direction of, or pursuant
to authority granted by, the Trustees, consistent with industry practice) (“Proportionate Interest”) in the net assets belonging
to that Portfolio. References herein to assets, expenses, charges, costs, and reserves “allocable” or “allocated”
to a particular Class of a Portfolio shall mean the aggregate amount of such item(s) of the Portfolio multiplied by the Class’s
Proportionate Interest. |
| (e) | A particular Portfolio shall be charged with the liabilities of that Portfolio, and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves attributable
to any particular Portfolio shall be borne by such Portfolio; provided that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, allocate or authorize
the allocation of particular expenses, costs, charges, and/or reserves of a Portfolio to fewer than all the Classes thereof. |
Class Expenses shall, in all cases, be allocated to
the Class for which such Class Expenses were incurred. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves of the
Trust (or any Portfolio) that are not readily identifiable as chargeable to or bearable by any particular Portfolio (or any particular
Class) shall be allocated and charged by the Trustees between or among any one or more of the Portfolios (or Classes) in such manner as
the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders
of all Portfolios (or Classes) for all purposes. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(e), (i) the
debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Portfolio shall
be enforceable against the assets of such Portfolio only, and not against the assets of the Trust generally or assets belonging to any
other Portfolio, and (ii) none of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing
with respect to the Trust generally that have not been allocated to a specified Portfolio, or with respect to any other Portfolio, shall
be enforceable against the assets of such specified Portfolio. Notice of this contractual limitation on inter-Portfolio liabilities is
set forth in the Trust’s Certificate of Trust described in Section 1.2, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 3804
of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-Portfolio liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 3804 of setting
forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) are applicable to the Trust and each Portfolio.
| (f) | Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no dividend or distribution on the Shares of any Portfolio, including any
distribution paid in connection with termination of the Trust or such Portfolio or any Class of such Portfolio, nor any redemption
or repurchase of, the Shares of such Portfolio or Class shall be effected by the Trust other than from the assets held with respect
to such Portfolio, nor shall any Shareholder of any particular Portfolio otherwise have any right or claim against the assets held with
respect to any other Portfolio except to the extent that such Shareholder has such a right or claim hereunder as a Shareholder of such
other Portfolio. |
| (g) | Except as provided for in Section 2.9, Shares redeemed or repurchased by a Portfolio or the Trust
shall be deemed to be canceled. |
| (h) | Any Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust, and any organization in which any such Person has an economic or other interest,
may acquire, own, hold and dispose of Shares in the Trust, whether such Shares are authorized but unissued, or already outstanding, to
the same extent as if such Person were not a Trustee, officer or other agent of the Trust; and the Trust may issue and sell and may purchase
such Shares from any such Person or any such organization, subject to the limitations, restrictions or other provisions applicable to
the sale or purchase of such shares herein, the 1940 Act and other applicable law. |
| (i) | The Trust
may issue Shares in fractional denominations of 1/1000th
of a Share or integral multiples thereof to the same extent as its whole Shares,
and Shares in fractional denominations shall be Shares having proportionately to the respective
fractions represented thereby all the rights of whole Shares of the same Portfolio (or Class),
including without limitation, the right to vote, the right to receive dividends and distributions
and the right to participate upon termination of the Trust or any Portfolio. |
| (j) | The Trustees shall have the authority to provide that the Shareholders of any Portfolio or Class shall have the right to exchange
such Shares for Shares of one or more other Portfolio or Class of Shares or for interests in one or more trusts, corporations or
other business entities (or a portfolio or series or class of any of the foregoing) in accordance with such requirements and procedures
as may be established by the Trustees. |
All references to Shares in this Agreement shall
be deemed to be shares of any or all Portfolios, or Classes thereof, as the context may require. All provisions herein relating to the
Trust shall apply equally to each Portfolio of the Trust, and each Class thereof, except as the context otherwise requires.
Section 2.6 Investment in the Trust.
Investments may be accepted by the Trust from such Persons, at such times, on such terms, and for such consideration, which may consist
of cash or tangible or intangible property or a combination thereof, as the Trustees from time to time may authorize. At the Trustees’
sole discretion, such investments, subject to applicable law, may be in the form of cash or securities in which the affected Portfolio
is authorized to invest, valued as provided in applicable law. Each such investment shall be recorded in the individual Shareholder’s
account in the form of full and fractional Shares of the Trust, in such Portfolio (or Class) as the Shareholder shall select. The Trustees
and their authorized agents shall have the right to refuse to issue Shares to any Person at any time and for any reason.
Section 2.7 Personal Liability of Shareholders. No Shareholder of the Trust shall be personally liable for the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by, contracted
for, or otherwise existing with respect to, the Trust or any Portfolio (or Class) thereof. Neither the Trust nor the Trustees, nor any
officer, employee, or agent of the Trust shall have any power to bind personally any Shareholder or to call upon any Shareholder for the
payment of any sum of money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at any time personally agree to pay by way
of subscription for any Shares or otherwise. The Shareholders shall be entitled, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to
the same limitation of personal liability as is extended under the Delaware General Corporation Law to stockholders of private corporations
for profit. Every note, bond, contract or other undertaking issued by or on behalf of the Trust or the Trustees relating to the Trust
or to any Portfolio shall include a recitation limiting the obligation represented thereby to the Trust and its assets or to one or more
Portfolios and the assets belonging thereto (but the omission of such a recitation shall not operate to bind any Shareholder or Trustee
of the Trust or otherwise limit any benefits set forth in the Delaware Act that may be applicable to such Persons).
Section 2.8 Assent to Agreement. Every
Shareholder, by virtue of having purchased a Share, shall be bound by the terms of the Governing Instrument. The death, incapacity, dissolution,
termination or bankruptcy of a Shareholder during the continuance of the Trust shall not operate to terminate the Trust nor entitle the
representative of any deceased Shareholder to an accounting or to take any action in court or elsewhere against the Trust or the Trustees,
but only to rights of said decedent under the Governing Instrument. Ownership of Shares shall not entitle the Shareholder to any title
in or to the whole or any part of the Trust Property or right to call for a partition or division of the same or for an accounting, nor
shall the ownership of Shares constitute the Shareholders as partners. Ownership of Shares shall not make the Shareholders third party
beneficiaries of any contract entered into by the Trust.
Section 2.9 Purchases of Shares Among Portfolios. The Trust may purchase, on behalf of any Portfolio (the “Purchasing Portfolio”), Shares of another Portfolio (the “Selling
Portfolio”) or any Class thereof. Shares of the Selling Portfolio so purchased on behalf of the Purchasing Portfolio shall
be Outstanding Shares, and shall have all preferences, voting powers, rights and privileges established for such Shares.
Section 2.10 Disclosure of Holding.
The Shareholders shall upon demand disclose to the Trustees in writing such information with respect to direct or indirect ownership of
Shares as the Trustees deem to be (i) in the best interests of the Trust or (ii) necessary to comply with the provisions of
the Code, the 1940 Act or other applicable laws or regulations, or to comply with the requirements of any other taxing or regulatory authority.
ARTICLE III
THE TRUSTEES
Section 3.1 Management of the Trust.
The Trustees shall have exclusive and absolute control over the Trust Property and over the business of the Trust to the same extent as
if the Trustees were the sole owners of the Trust Property and business in their own right, but with such powers of delegation as may
be permitted by this Agreement. The Trustees shall have power to conduct the business of the Trust and carry on its operations in any
and all of its branches and maintain offices both within and without the State of Delaware, in any and all states of the United States
of America, in the District of Columbia, in any and all commonwealths, territories, dependencies, colonies, or possessions of the United
States of America, and in any and all foreign jurisdictions and to do all such other things and execute all such instruments as they deem
necessary, proper or desirable in order to promote the interests of the Trust although such things are not herein specifically mentioned.
Any construction or interpretation of this Agreement and the Bylaws by the Trustees and any action taken pursuant thereto and any determination
as to what is in the interests of the Trust made by the Trustees in good faith shall be conclusive and binding on all Shareholders and
all other persons for all purposes. In construing the provisions of this Agreement, the presumption shall be in favor of a grant of power
to the Trustees.
The enumeration of any specific
power in this Agreement shall not be construed as limiting the aforesaid power. The powers of the Trustees may be exercised without order
of or resort to any court or other authority.
Section 3.2 Trustees. The number of
Trustees shall be such number as shall be fixed from time to time by a Majority Trustee Vote; provided, however, that the number of Trustees
shall in no event be less than two (2) nor more than fifteen (15). The natural persons who have executed this Agreement shall be
the Trustees as of the date hereof.
Section 3.3 Terms of Office of Trustees.
The Trustees shall hold office during the lifetime of this Trust, and until its termination as herein provided; except that (A) any
Trustee may resign his or her trusteeship or may retire by written instrument signed by him or her and delivered to the other Trustees,
which shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is specified therein; (B) any Trustee may be removed at any
time by written instrument signed by at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the number of Trustees prior to such removal, specifying the date
when such removal shall become effective; (C) any Trustee who has died, become physically or mentally incapacitated by reason of
disease or otherwise, or is otherwise unable to serve, may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees,
specifying the date of his retirement; (D) a Trustee may be removed at any meeting of the Shareholders by a vote of the Shareholders
owning at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the Outstanding Shares; and (E) a Trustee shall be retired in accordance with the terms of
any retirement policy adopted by the Trustees and in effect from time to time.
Section 3.4 Vacancies and Appointment of
Trustees. In case of a vacancy arising from a Trustee’s declination to serve, death, resignation, retirement, removal, incapacity,
or inability to serve, the size of the Board shall be automatically reduced by the number of vacancies arising therefrom (but not to less
than two) unless or until the Board by resolution expressly maintains or increases the size of the Board. Whenever the size of the Board
of Trustees is reduced due to such a vacancy, the other remaining Trustees shall have all the powers hereunder and the determination of
the remaining Trustees shall be conclusive. In the case of a vacancy arising from a Board resolution to maintain or increase the size
of the Board, the remaining Trustees may fill such vacancy or add additional Board members, as the case may be, by appointing such other
person as they in their discretion shall see fit. Such appointment shall be evidenced by (i) a resolution of the Board of Trustees,
duly adopted by a Majority Trustee Vote, which shall be recorded in the minutes of a meeting of the Trustees, or (ii) a written instrument
signed by a requisite number of Trustees in office sufficient to constitute a Majority Trustee Vote, in each case whereupon the appointment
shall take effect.
Section 3.5 Temporary Absence of Trustee.
Any Trustee may, by power of attorney, delegate his power for a period not exceeding six months at any one time to any other Trustee or
Trustees, provided that in no case shall fewer than two Trustees personally exercise the other powers hereunder except as herein otherwise
expressly provided.
Section 3.6 Effect of Death, Resignation, etc.
of a Trustee. The declination to serve, death, resignation, retirement, removal, incapacity, or inability of the Trustees, or any
one of them, shall not operate to terminate the Trust or to revoke any existing agency created pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Whenever there shall be fewer than the designated number of Trustees, until additional Trustees are elected or appointed as provided herein
to bring the total number of Trustees equal to the designated number, the Trustees in office, regardless of their number, shall have all
the powers granted to the Trustees and shall discharge all the duties imposed upon the Trustees by this Agreement.
Section 3.7 Ownership
of Assets of the Trust. The assets of the Trust and of each Portfolio thereof shall be held separate and apart from any assets
now or hereafter held in any capacity other than as Trustee hereunder by the Trustees or any successor Trustees. Legal title in all
of the assets of the Trust and the right to conduct any business shall at all times be considered to be held by or in the name of
the Trust, except that the Trustees may cause legal title to any Trust Property to be held by the Trustees or in the name of any
other Person as nominee on behalf of the Trust. In the event that any Trust Property is held by the Trustees, the right, title and
interest of the Trustees in the Trust Property shall vest automatically in each Person who may hereafter become a Trustee. Upon the
resignation, retirement, removal, declination to serve, incapacity, or death of a Trustee, he or she shall automatically cease to
have any right, title or interest in any of the Trust Property, and the right, title and interest of such Trustee in the Trust
Property shall vest automatically in the remaining Trustees. Such vesting and cessation of title shall be effective whether or not
conveyancing documents have been executed and delivered. No creditor of any Trustee shall have any right to obtain possession, or
otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, any Trust Property with respect to any claim against, or obligation
of, such Trustee in its individual capacity and not related to the Trust or any Portfolio or Class of the Trust. No Shareholder
shall be deemed to have a severable ownership in any individual asset of the Trust, or belonging to any Portfolio, or allocable to
any Class thereof, or any right of partition or possession thereof, but each Shareholder shall have, except as otherwise
provided for herein, a proportionate undivided beneficial interest in the Trust or in assets belonging to the Portfolio (or
allocable to the Class) in which the Shareholder holds Shares. The Shares shall be personal property giving only the rights
specifically set forth in this Agreement or the Delaware Act.
Section 3.8 Legal Standard. The Trustees
shall be subject to the same fiduciary duties to which the directors of a Delaware corporation would be subject if the Trust were a Delaware
corporation, the Shareholders were shareholders of such Delaware corporation and the Trustees were directors of such Delaware corporation.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all actions and omissions of the Trustees shall be evaluated under the doctrine commonly
referred to as the “business judgment rule,” as defined and developed under Delaware law, to the same extent that the same
actions or omissions of directors of a Delaware corporation in a substantially similar circumstance would be evaluated under such doctrine.
The appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as chair of the Trustees, a member or chair of a committee of the Trustees,
an expert on any topic or in any area (including an audit committee financial expert), or the lead Independent Trustee, or any other special
appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee, shall not impose on that person any standard of care or liability that is greater
than that imposed on that person as a Trustee in the absence of the appointment, designation or identification, and no Trustee who has
special skills or expertise, or is appointed, designated or identified as aforesaid, shall be held to a higher standard of care by virtue
thereof. In addition, no appointment, designation or identification of a Trustee as aforesaid shall affect in any way that Trustee's rights
or entitlement to indemnification or advancement of expenses. Except to the extent required by applicable law or expressly stated herein,
(a) no Trustee or Trust officer shall have any fiduciary duty or other legal duty or obligation to the Trust, the Shareholders or
any other Person, and (b) the Trust shall have no fiduciary duty or other legal duty or obligation to the Shareholders or any other
Person except the Trustees. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein or required by federal law including the 1940 Act, the Trustees
shall act in their sole discretion and may take any action or exercise any power without any vote or consent of the Shareholders.
Section 3.9 Other Business Interests.
The Trustees shall devote to the affairs of the Trust such time as may be necessary for the proper performance of their duties hereunder,
but neither the Trustees nor the officers, directors, Shareholders, partners or employees of the Trustees, if any, shall be expected to
devote their full time to the performance of such duties. The Trustees, or any Affiliated Person, Shareholder, officer, director, partner
or employee thereof, or any Person owning a legal or beneficial interest therein, may engage in, or possess an interest in, any business
or venture other than the Trust, of any nature and description, independently or with or for the account of others. None of the Trust
or any Shareholder shall have the right to participate or share in such other business or venture or any profit or compensation derived
therefrom.
ARTICLE IV

| (q) | To consent to or participate in any plan for the reorganization, consolidation or merger of any corporation or concern, with respect

Trustees shall establish; |
| (v) | To establish one or more committees or sub-committees, to delegate any of the powers of the Trustees to said committees or sub-committees
and to adopt a written charter for one or more of such committees or sub-committees governing its membership, duties and operations and
any other characteristics as the Trustees may deem proper, each of which committees shall be comprised of one or more members as determined
by the Trustees and sub-committees shall be comprised of one or more members as determined by the committee or sub-committee (which may be less than

| (aa) | In general, to carry on any other business in connection with or incidental to any of the foregoing powers, to do everything necessary,
suitable or proper for the accomplishment of any purpose or the attainment of any object or the furtherance of any power hereinbefore
set forth, either alone or in association with others, and to do every other act or thing incidental or appurtenant to or growing out
of or connected with the aforesaid business or purposes, objects or powers. |
The foregoing clauses shall be construed both as
objects and powers, and the foregoing enumeration of specific powers shall not be held to limit or restrict in any manner the general
powers of the Trustees. Any action by one or more of the Trustees in their capacity as such hereunder shall be deemed an action on behalf
of the Trust or the applicable Portfolio, and not an action in an individual capacity.
The Trustees shall not be limited to investing in
obligations maturing before the possible termination of the Trust.
No one dealing with the Trustees shall be under any
obligation to make any inquiry concerning the authority of the Trustees, or to see to the application of any payments made or property
transferred to the Trustees or upon their order.
Section 4.2 Issuance, Redemption and Repurchase
of Shares. The Trustees shall have the power to issue, sell, repurchase, redeem, retire, cancel, acquire, hold, resell, reissue, dispose
of, and otherwise deal in Shares and, subject to the provisions set forth in Articles II and VII hereof, to apply to any such repurchase,
redemption, retirement, cancellation or acquisition of Shares any funds or property of the Trust, or any assets belonging to the particular
Portfolio or any assets allocable to the particular Class, with respect to which such Shares are issued.
Section 4.3 Action by
the Trustees. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Board of Trustees or any committee or sub-committee thereof shall act by
majority vote of those present at a meeting duly called as set forth in the Bylaws at which a quorum required by the Bylaws is present.
Any action that may be taken by the Board of Trustees or any committee or sub-committee thereof by majority vote of those present at
a meeting duly called and at which a quorum required by the Bylaws is present, may also be taken by written consent of a Majority Trustee
Vote of the Trustees or members of the committee or sub-committee, as the case may be, without a meeting, provided that the writing or
writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee or sub-committee. Written consents or waivers of the Trustees
may be executed in one or more counterparts. Any written consent or waiver may be provided and delivered to the Trust by any means by
which notice may be given to a Trustee. Subject to the requirements of the Governing Instrument and the 1940 Act, the Trustees by Majority
Trustee Vote may delegate to any Trustee or Trustees or committee or sub-committee of Trustees, officer or officers of the Trust or any
agent of the Trust authority to approve particular matters or take particular actions on behalf of the Trust or any Portfolio.
Section 4.4 Principal Transactions.
The Trustees may, on behalf of the Trust, buy any securities from or sell any securities to, or lend any assets of the Trust to, any Trustee
or officer of the Trust or any firm of which any such Trustee or officer is a member acting as principal, or have any such dealings with
any investment adviser, distributor, or transfer agent for the Trust or with any Affiliated Person of such Person; and the Trust may employ
any such Person, or firm or Company in which such Person is an Affiliated Person, as broker, legal counsel, registrar, investment adviser,
distributor, administrator, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, custodian, or in any capacity upon customary terms, subject in
all cases to applicable laws, rules, and regulations and orders of regulatory authorities.

Trust. The Trustees are authorized to pay or cause to be paid out of the principal or income of the Trust or any Portfolio, or partly
out of the principal and partly out of income, and to charge or allocate to, between or among such one or more of the Portfolios (or Classes),
as they deem fair, all expenses, fees, charges, taxes and liabilities incurred or arising in connection with the Trust or Portfolio (or
Class), or in connection with the management thereof, including, but not limited to, the Trustees’ compensation and such expenses
and charges for the services of the Trust’s officers, employees, investment adviser and manager, administrator, principal underwriter,
auditors, counsel, custodian, transfer agent, shareholder servicing agent, and such other agents or independent contractors and such other
expenses and charges as the Trustees may deem necessary or proper to incur.
Section 4.6 Trustee Compensation. The
Trustees as such shall be entitled to reasonable compensation from the Trust. They may fix the amount of their compensation. Nothing herein
shall in any way prevent the employment of any Trustee for advisory, management, administrative, legal, accounting, investment banking,
underwriting, brokerage, or investment dealer or other services and the payment for the same by the Trust.
Section 4.7 Independent Trustee. A
Trustee who is an “Independent Trustee,” as that term is defined in the Delaware Act, shall be deemed to be independent and
disinterested for all purposes including when making any determinations or taking any action as a Trustee.

value, or the fair value, of any security or other asset owned or held by the Trust or any Class; the number of Shares of the Trust
or any Class issued or issuable; and the net asset value per Share.

with such management, investment advisory, statistical and research facilities and services and such other facilities and services, if
any, and all upon such terms and conditions, as the Trustees may in their discretion determine.
The Trustees may authorize the investment adviser
to employ, from time to time, one or more sub-advisers to perform such of the acts and services of the investment adviser, and upon such

any Company, with which an advisory or administration contract, or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s contract, or transfer,

contract may have been or may hereafter be made also has an advisory or administration contract, or principal underwriter’s or distributor’s
contract, or transfer, shareholder servicing, custodian or other agency contract with one or more other companies, or has other business

upon or executing the same or create any liability or accountability to the Trust or its Shareholders. |
| (b) | The authority of the Trustees hereunder to authorize the Trust to enter into contracts or other agreements or arrangements shall include
the authority of the Trustees to modify, amend, waive any provision of, supplement, assign all or a portion of, novate, or terminate such

ARTICLE VI
SHAREHOLDERS’ VOTING POWERS AND MEETING
Section 6.1 Voting Powers. The Shareholders
shall have power to vote only: (i) for the election or removal of Trustees as and to the extent provided in Section 3.4, (ii) with
respect to such additional matters relating to the Trust as may be required by federal law including the 1940 Act, or any Registration
Statement and (iii) as the Trustees may otherwise consider necessary or desirable in their sole discretion.
Until Shares are issued, the
Trustees may exercise all rights of Shareholders and may take any action required or permitted by law or the Governing Instrument that
may be taken by Shareholders.
On any matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders,
all Shares shall be voted together, except when required by applicable law or when the Trustees have determined that the matter affects
the interests of one or more Portfolios (or Classes), then only the Shareholders of all such affected Portfolios (or Classes) shall be
entitled to vote thereon. Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote, and each fractional
Share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. Provisions relating to meetings, quorum, required vote, record date and other
matters relating to Shareholder voting rights are as provided in the Bylaws.
Shareholders shall not be entitled to cumulative
voting in the election of Trustees or on any other matter.
Only Record Owners shall have the power to cast a
vote at a meeting of Shareholders subject to the voting provisions set forth in the Governing Instrument. Beneficial owners of Shares
who are not Record Owners shall not be entitled to cast a vote at a meeting of Shareholders but shall be entitled to provide voting instructions
to corresponding Record Owners, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law.
Section 6.2 Additional Voting Powers and
Voting Requirements for Certain Actions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Shareholders shall have power
to vote to approve any amendment to Section 8.4 of this Agreement that would have the effect of reducing the indemnification provided
thereby to Shareholders or former Shareholders, and any repeal or amendment of this sentence, and any such action shall require the affirmative
vote or consent of Shareholders owning at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the Outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon. In addition,
the removal of one or more Trustees by the Shareholders shall require the affirmative vote or consent of Shareholders owning at least
two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the Outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereon.
The voting requirements set forth in this Section 6.2
shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any vote or consent of the Shareholders otherwise required by applicable law (including,
without limitation, any separate vote by Portfolio (or Class) that may be required by the 1940 Act or by other applicable law) or by this
Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
NET ASSET VALUE, DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTIONS
Section 7.1 Net Asset Value. Subject
to applicable federal law including the 1940 Act and Article II hereof, the Trustees, in their sole discretion, may prescribe (and
delegate to any officer of the Trust or any other Person or Persons the right and obligation to prescribe) such bases and time (including
any methodology or plan) for determining the per Share or net asset value of the Shares of any Portfolio or Class or net income attributable
to the Shares of any Portfolio or Class, or the declaration and payment of dividends and distributions on the Shares of any Portfolio
or Class and the method of determining the Shareholders to whom dividends and distributions are payable, as they may deem necessary
or desirable.
Section 7.2 Distributions. The Trustees
may from time to time declare and pay dividends and make other distributions with respect to any Portfolio, or Class thereof, which
may be from income, capital gains or capital or distributions in kind of the assets of a Portfolio or class thereof. The amount of such
dividends or distributions and the payment of them and whether they are in cash or any other Trust Property shall be wholly in the discretion
of the Trustees, although the Trustees pursuant to Section 4.1(j) may delegate the authority to set record, declaration, payment
and ex- dividend dates, determine the amount of dividends and distributions and pay such dividends and distributions. Dividends and other
distributions may be paid pursuant to a standing resolution adopted once or more often as the Trustees determine. The Trustees shall have
the power and authority to amend, correct or change the amount of any declared dividend or distribution from time to time until such dividend
or distribution has been paid to Shareholders. All dividends and other distributions on Shares of a particular Portfolio or Class shall
be distributed pro rata to the Shareholders of that Portfolio or Class, as the case may be, in proportion to the number of Shares of that
Portfolio or Class they held on the record date established for such payment, provided that such dividends and other distributions
on Shares of a Class shall appropriately reflect Class Expenses and other expenses allocated to that Class. The Trustees may
adopt and offer to Shareholders such dividend reinvestment plans, cash distribution payment plans, or similar plans as the Trustees deem
appropriate.
Section 7.3 Redemptions.
The Trust shall purchase such Shares as are offered by any Shareholder for redemption, upon the presentation of a proper instrument
of transfer together with a request directed to the Trust or a Person designated by the Trust that the Trust purchase such Shares or
in accordance with such other procedures for redemption as the Trustees may from time to time authorize; and the Trust will pay
therefor the net asset value thereof as determined by the Trustees (or by such Person or Persons to whom such determination has been
delegated), in accordance with any applicable provisions of this Agreement and applicable law, less any fees imposed on such
redemption. Unless extraordinary circumstances exist, payment for said Shares shall be made by the Trust to the Shareholder within
seven (7) days after the date on which the request is made in proper form. The obligation set forth in this Section 7.3 is
subject to the provision that in the event that any time the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is closed for
other than weekends or holidays, or if permitted by the rules and regulations or an order of the Commission during periods when
trading on the Exchange is restricted or during any emergency which makes it impracticable for the Trust to dispose of the
investments of the Trust or any applicable Portfolio or to determine fairly the value of the net assets held with respect to the
Trust or such Portfolio or during any other period permitted by order of the Commission for the protection of investors, such
obligations may be suspended or postponed by the Trustees. In the case of a suspension of the right of redemption as provided
herein, a Shareholder may either withdraw the request for redemption or receive payment based on the net asset value per Share next
determined after the termination of such suspension, less any fees imposed on such redemption. Subject to applicable federal law
including the 1940 Act, the redemption price may in any case or cases be paid wholly or partly in kind if the Trustees determine in
their sole discretion that such payment is advisable in the interest of the remaining Shareholders of the Trust or any applicable
Portfolio or Class thereof for which the Shares are being redeemed, and the fair value, selection and quantity of securities or
other property so paid or delivered as all or part of the redemption price may be determined under procedures approved by the
Trustees in their sole discretion. In no case shall the Trust be liable for any delay of any corporation or other Person in
transferring securities selected for delivery as all or part of any payment in kind.
Section 7.4 Redemptions at the Option of
the Trust. At the option of the Board of Trustees, the Trust may, from time to time, without the vote of the Shareholders, but subject
to the 1940 Act, redeem shares of any Shareholder or authorize the closing of any Shareholder account, subject to such conditions as may
be established from time to time by the Board of Trustees and disclosed to Shareholders.
ARTICLE VIII
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 8.1 Limitation of Liability.
A Trustee or officer of the Trust, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any person for any act, omission or
obligation of the Trust or any Trustee or officer of the Trust; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall protect any Trustee
or officer against any liability to the Trust or to Shareholders to which the 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.
Section 8.2 Indemnification
of Covered Persons. Every Covered Person shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, the
Bylaws and other applicable law.
Section 8.3 Insurance. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Trustees shall have the authority to purchase with Trust Property insurance for liability
and for all expenses reasonably incurred or paid or expected to be paid by a Covered Person in connection with any proceeding in which
such Covered Person becomes involved by virtue of such Covered Person’s actions, or omissions to act, in its capacity or former
capacity with the Trust, whether or not the Trust would have the power to indemnify such Covered Person against such liability.
Section 8.4 Indemnification
of Shareholders. In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder of the Trust shall be held to be personally liable solely by
reason of his being or having been a Shareholder of the Trust 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 Trust, 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).
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Trust Not a Partnership; Taxation.
It is hereby expressly declared that a trust and not a partnership is created hereby. No Trustee hereunder shall have any power to bind
personally either the Trust’s officers or any Shareholder. All persons extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim
against the Trust or the Trustees in their capacity as such shall look only to the assets of the appropriate Portfolio or, until the Trustees
shall have established any separate Portfolio, of the Trust for payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Shareholders,
the Trustees, nor the Trust’s officers nor any of the agents of the Trustees whether past, present or future, shall be personally
liable therefor.
The Board of Trustees shall have the power, in its
discretion, to make an initial entity classification election, and to change any such entity classification election, of the Trust and
any Portfolio for U.S. federal income tax purposes as may be permitted or required under the Code, without the vote or consent of any
Shareholder. In furtherance thereof, the Board of Trustees, or an appropriate officer as determined by the Board of Trustees, is authorized
(but not required) to make and sign any such entity classification election on Form 8832, Entity Classification Election (or successor
form thereto), on behalf of the Trust or any Portfolio, sign the consent statement contained therein on behalf of all of the Shareholders
thereof, and file the same with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Section 9.2 Trustee’s
Good Faith Action, Expert Advice, No Bond or Surety. The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretion hereunder in good
faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances then prevailing shall be binding upon everyone interested. Subject to the provisions
of Article VIII and to Section 9.1, the Trustees shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. The
Trustees may rely in good faith upon advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the meaning and operation of this Agreement and
their duties as Trustees hereunder, and subject to the provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.1, shall be under no liability
for any act or omission in accordance with such advice; provided that the Trustees shall be under no liability for failing to follow
such advice. A Trustee shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Trust and upon information, opinions,
reports or statements presented by another Trustee or any officer, employee or other agent of the Trust, or by any other Person as to
matters the Trustee believes in good faith are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence, including information,
opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Trust, or the value and
amount of assets or reserves or contracts, agreements or other undertakings that would be sufficient to pay claims and obligations of
the Trust or to make reasonable provision to pay such claims and obligations, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount
of assets from which distributions to Shareholders or creditors of the Trust might properly be paid. Except with respect to any bonds
required to be provided for the advancement of expenses pursuant to the Governing Instrument, the Trustees shall not be required to give
any bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is obtained.
Section 9.3 Termination of Trust or Portfolio or Class.
| (a) | Unless terminated as provided herein, the Trust shall continue without limitation of time. The Trust may be dissolved at any time
by the Trustees (without Shareholder approval). A Portfolio may be terminated at any time by the Trustees (without Shareholder approval)
. Any Class may be terminated at any time by the Trustees (without Shareholder approval). In addition, the dissolution of the Trust
shall automatically terminate each Portfolio and each Class. |
| (b) | On dissolution of the Trust or termination of any Portfolio pursuant to paragraph (a) above, |
| (1) | the Trust or that Portfolio thereafter shall carry on no business except for the purpose of winding up
its affairs, |
| (2) | the Trustees shall (i) proceed to wind up the affairs of the Trust or that Portfolio, and all powers of the Trustees under this
Agreement with respect thereto shall continue until such affairs have been wound up, including the powers to fulfill or discharge the
contracts of the Trust or that Portfolio, (ii) collect its assets or the assets belonging thereto, (iii) sell, convey, assign, exchange,
or otherwise dispose of all or any part of those assets to one or more persons at public or private sale for consideration that may consist
in whole or in part of cash, securities, or other property of any kind, ((iv) pay or make reasonable provision (including through
the use of a liquidating trust) to pay all claims and obligations of the Trust or that Portfolio, including all contingent, conditional
or unmatured claims and obligations known to the Trust or that Portfolio, and all claims and obligations which are known to the Trust
or that Portfolio, but for which the identity of the claimant is unknown, and claims and obligations that have not been made known to
the Trust or that Portfolio or that have not arisen but that, based on the facts known to the Trust or that Portfolio, are likely to arise
or to become known to the Trust within 10 years after the date of dissolution, and (v) do all other acts appropriate to liquidate
its business, and |
| (3) | after paying or adequately providing for the payment of all liabilities, and upon receipt of such releases, indemnities, and refunding
agreements as they deem necessary for their protection, the Trustees shall distribute the remaining assets ratably among the Shareholders
of the Trust or that Portfolio. |
| (c) | On termination of any Class pursuant to paragraph (a) above, |
| (1) | the Trust thereafter shall no longer issue Shares of that Class, |
| (2) | the Trustees shall do all other acts appropriate to terminate the Class, and |
| (3) | the Trustees shall distribute ratably among the Shareholders of that Class, in cash or in kind, an amount equal to the Proportionate
Interest of that Class in the net assets of the Portfolio (after taking into account any Class Expenses or other fees, expenses, or charges allocable
thereto), and in connection with any such distribution in cash the Trustees are authorized to sell, convey, assign, exchange or otherwise
dispose of such assets of the Portfolio of which that Class is a part as they deem necessary. Alternatively, in connection with the
termination of any Class, the Trustees may treat such termination as a redemption of the Shareholders of such Class effected pursuant
to Section 7.3 of this Agreement provided that the costs relating to the termination of such Class shall be included in the
determination of the net asset value of the Shares of such Class for purposes of determining the redemption price to be paid to the
Shareholders of such Class (to the extent not otherwise included in such determination). |
| (d) | In connection with the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust or the termination of any Portfolio or any Class, the Trustees may
provide for the establishment of a liquidating trust or similar vehicle. |
| (e) | On dissolution of the Trust, following completion of winding up of its business, any one (1) Trustee shall execute, and cause
to be filed, a certificate of cancellation, with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3810 of the Delaware Act, whereupon the Trust shall terminate and the Trustees and the Trust shall be discharged
from all further liabilities and duties hereunder with respect thereto. The Trustees shall not be personally liable to the claimants of
the dissolved Trust by reason of the Trustees’ actions in winding up the Trust’s affairs if the Trustees complied with Section 3808(e) of
the Delaware Act. |
Section 9.4 Sale of Assets; Merger and Consolidation.
The Trustees may cause
(i) the Trust or one or more of its Portfolios to the extent consistent
with applicable law to sell all or substantially all of its assets to, or be merged into or consolidated with, another Portfolio, statutory

into beneficial interests in another statutory trust (or series thereof) created pursuant to this Section 9.4, (iii) the Shares
of any Class to be converted into another Class of the same Portfolio, or (iv) the Shares to be exchanged under or pursuant
to any state or federal statute to the extent permitted by law. In all respects not governed by statute or applicable law, the Trustees
shall have power to prescribe the procedure necessary or appropriate to accomplish a sale of assets, merger or consolidation including
the power to create one or more separate statutory trusts to which all or any part of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the
Trust may be transferred and to provide for the conversion of Shares of the Trust or any Portfolio (or Class) into beneficial interests
in such separate statutory trust or trusts (or series or class thereof).
Section 9.5 Filing
of Copies, References, Headings. The original or a copy of this Agreement or any amendment hereto or any supplemental agreement
shall be kept at the office of the Trust where it may be inspected by any Shareholder. Headings are placed herein for convenience of
reference only and in case of any conflict, the text of this Agreement, rather than the headings, shall control. This Agreement and
any document, consent or instrument referenced in or contemplated by this Agreement or the Bylaws may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. To the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act, (i) any document, consent, instrument or notice referenced in or contemplated by this
Agreement or the Bylaws that is to be executed by one or more Trustees may be executed by means of original, facsimile or electronic
signature and (ii) any document, consent, instrument or notice referenced in or contemplated by this Agreement or the Bylaws
that is to be delivered by one or more Trustees may be delivered by facsimile or electronic means (including e-mail), unless, in the
case of either clause (i) or (ii), otherwise determined by the Trustees. The terms “include,”
“includes” and “including” and any comparable terms shall be deemed to mean “including, without
limitation.” Any reference to any statute, law, code, rule or regulation shall be deemed to refer to such statute, law,
code, rule or regulation as amended or restated from time to time and any successor thereto.
Section 9.6 Governing
Law. The Trust and the Governing Instrument (including this Agreement) and the rights, obligations and remedies of the Trustees and
Shareholders hereunder, are to be governed by and construed and administered according to the Delaware Act, including the provision that
gives maximum freedom to contract, and the other laws of the State of Delaware and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the following provisions shall not be applicable to the Trust, the Trustees, the Shareholders or the Governing Instrument:
(A) the provisions of Sections 3533, 3540, 3561 and 3583(a) of Title 12 of the Delaware Code or (B) any provisions of
the laws (statutory or common) of the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Act) pertaining to trusts which relate to or regulate
(i) the filing with any court or governmental body or agency of trustee accounts or schedules of trustee fees and charges, (ii) affirmative
requirements to post bonds for trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (iii) the necessity for obtaining court or other
governmental approval concerning the acquisition, holding or disposition of real or personal property, (iv) fees or other sums payable
to trustees, officers, agents or employees of a trust, (v) the allocation of receipts and expenditures to income or principal, (vi) restrictions
or limitations on the permissible nature, amount or concentration of trust investments or requirements relating to the titling, storage
or other manner of holding of trust assets, or (vii) the establishment of fiduciary or other standards or responsibilities or limitations
on the indemnification, acts or powers of trustees or other Persons, which are inconsistent with the limitations of liabilities or authorities
and powers of the Trustees or officers of the Trust set forth or referenced in the Governing Instrument.
The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a
“statutory trust,” and without limiting the provisions hereof, the Trust may exercise all powers which are ordinarily exercised
by such a trust under Delaware law. The Trust specifically reserves the right to exercise any of the powers or privileges afforded to
trusts or actions that may be engaged in by trusts under the Delaware Act, and the absence of a specific reference herein to any such
power, privilege or action shall not imply that the Trust may not exercise such power or privilege or take such actions; provided, however,
that the exercise of any such power, privilege or action shall not otherwise violate applicable law.
Section 9.7 Amendments.
The Trustees may amend this Agreement by making an amendment to this Agreement or to Schedule A, an agreement supplemental hereto,
or an amended and restated trust instrument; and no vote or consent of any Shareholder shall be required for any amendment to this
Agreement except as specifically provided in Article VI hereof, as determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion, or as
required by federal law including the 1940 Act, but only to the extent so required. Any such amendment, having been approved by a
Majority Trustee Vote, shall become effective, unless otherwise provided by such Trustees, upon being executed by a duly authorized
officer of the Trust. A certification signed by a duly authorized officer of the Trust setting forth an amendment to this Agreement
and reciting that it was duly adopted by the Shareholders or by the Trustees as aforesaid, or a copy of this Agreement, as amended,
executed by a majority of the Trustees, or a duly authorized officer of the Trust, shall be conclusive evidence of such amendment
when lodged among the records of the Trust. Any officer of the Trust is authorized from time to time to restate this Agreement into
a single instrument to reflect all amendments hereto made in accordance with the terms hereof. The Certificate of Trust of the Trust
may be restated and/or amended by any Trustee as necessary or desirable to reflect any change in the information set forth therein,
and any such restatement and/or amendment shall be effective immediately upon filing with the office of the Secretary of the State
of Delaware or upon such future date as may be stated therein.
Section 9.8 Provisions in Conflict with
Law. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if the Trustees shall determine, with the advice of counsel, that any of
such provisions is in conflict with applicable law, the conflicting provision shall be deemed never to have constituted a part of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such determination shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or render invalid
or improper any action taken or omitted prior to such determination. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision in such jurisdiction and shall not in any
manner affect such provisions in any other jurisdiction or any other provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
Section 9.9 Inspection of Records.
Every Trustee shall have the right at any reasonable time to inspect all books, records, and documents of every kind and the physical
properties of the Trust. This inspection by a Trustee may be made in person or by an agent or attorney and the right of inspection includes
the right to copy and make extracts of documents. Except as may be required by Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, no Shareholder shall have the right to obtain from the Trust a list of the Trust’s Shareholders.
Except as required by the 1940 Act, Shareholders shall have no right to inspect the records, documents, accounts and books of the Trust.
Any request to inspect the records of the Trust shall be submitted by the Shareholder to the Trust in writing. Upon receipt of any such
request, the Trustees shall determine whether delivery of records pertaining to such request is required by the 1940 Act or is otherwise
necessary or appropriate, as determined by the Trustees in their sole discretion, and whether such request complies with the requirements
of the 1940 Act and, if so, establish procedures for such inspection. To preserve the integrity of the records, the Trust may provide
certified copies of Trust records rather than originals. The Trust shall not be required to create records or obtain records from third
parties to satisfy a Shareholder request. The Trust may require a requesting Shareholder to pay in advance or otherwise indemnify the
Trust for the costs and expenses of such Shareholder’s inspection of records. The rights provided for in this Section 9.9 shall
not extend to any Person who is a Shareholder but not also a Record Owner.
Section 9.10 Use of the Name “Invesco”.
The Board of Trustees expressly agrees and acknowledges that the name “Invesco” is the sole property of Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”).
Invesco has granted to the Trust a non- exclusive license to use such name as part of the name of the Trust now and in the future. The
Board of Trustees further expressly agrees and acknowledges that the non-exclusive license granted herein may be terminated by Invesco
if the Trust ceases to use Invesco or one of its Affiliated Persons as investment adviser or to use other Affiliated Persons or successors
of Invesco for such purposes. In such event, the non-exclusive license may be revoked by Invesco and the Trust shall cease using the name
“Invesco” or any name misleadingly implying a continuing relationship between the Trust and Invesco or any of its Affiliated
Persons, as part of its name unless otherwise consented to by Invesco or any successor to its interests in such name.
The Board of Trustees further understands and agrees
that so long as Invesco and/or any future advisory Affiliated Person of Invesco shall continue to serve as the Trust’s investment
adviser, other registered open- or closed-end investment companies (“funds”) and other types of investment vehicles as may
be sponsored or advised by Invesco or its Affiliated Persons shall have the right permanently to adopt and to use the name “Invesco”
in their names and in the names of any series or class of shares of such funds.
Section 9.11 Derivative
Actions. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 3816 of the Delaware Act, a Shareholder may bring a derivative
action on behalf of the Trust only if the following conditions are met:
| (a) | The Shareholder or Shareholders must make a pre-suit demand upon the Trustees to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause
the Trustees to bring such an action is not likely to succeed. For purposes of this Section 9.11(a), a demand on the Trustees shall
only be deemed not likely to succeed and therefore excused if a majority of the Board of Trustees is composed of Trustees who are not
Independent Trustees and the Board of Trustees has not established a committee to consider the merits of such action or, if the Board
of Trustees has established such a committee, a majority of that committee is composed of Trustees who are not Independent Trustees; |
| (b) | Unless a demand is not required under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.11, Shareholders eligible to bring such derivative
action under the Delaware Act who collectively hold Shares representing ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined net asset value
of all Shares issued and outstanding, or of the Portfolios or Classes to which such action relates if it does not relate to all Portfolios
and Classes, must join in the pre-suit demand for the Trustees to commence such action. If a demand is not required under paragraph (a) of
this Section 9.11, Shareholders eligible to bring such derivative action under the Delaware Act who hold at least ten percent (10%)
of the outstanding Shares of the Trust shall join in the demand for the Board of Trustees to commence such action; and |
| (c) | Unless a demand is not required under paragraph (a) of this Section 9.11, the Trustees must be afforded a reasonable amount
of time to consider such Shareholder request and to investigate the basis of such claim. The Trustees shall be entitled to retain counsel
or other advisors in considering the merits of the request and may require an undertaking by the Shareholders making such request to reimburse
the Trust for the expense of any such advisors in the event that the Trustees determine not to bring such action. |
| (d) | For purposes of this Section 9.11, the Board of Trustees may designate a committee of one or more Trustees to consider a Shareholder
demand if necessary to create a committee with a majority of Trustees who are Independent Trustees. The Trustees on that committee shall
be entitled to retain counsel or other advisors in considering the merits of the request and may require an undertaking by the Shareholders
making such request to reimburse the Trust for the expense of any such advisors in the event that the Trustees on the committee determine
not to bring such action. |
| (e) | In addition to all suits, claims or other actions (collectively, “claims”) that under applicable law must be brought as
derivative claims, each Shareholder of the Trust or any Portfolio or Class thereof agrees that any claim that affects all Shareholders
of a Portfolio or Class either equally or proportionately based on their number of Shares in such Portfolio or Class, must be brought
as a derivative claim subject to this Section 9.11 irrespective of whether such claim involves a violation of the Shareholders’
rights under this Agreement or any other alleged violation of contractual or individual rights that might otherwise give rise to a direct
claim. |
Section 9.12 Jurisdiction and Waiver of
Jury Trial. In accordance with Section 3804(e) of the Delaware Act, any suit, action or proceeding brought by or in the
right of any Shareholder or any Person claiming any interest in any Shares seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter
arising out of, or in connection with, the Governing Instrument or the Trust, any Portfolio (or Class) or any Shares, including any claim
of any nature against the Trust, any Portfolio (or Class), the Trustees or officers of the Trust, shall be brought exclusively in the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware to the extent there is subject matter jurisdiction in such court for the claims asserted or,
if not, then in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, provided, however, that unless the Trust consents in writing to the selection
of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities
laws, and all Shareholders and other such Persons hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts (and the appropriate appellate
courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection
they may make now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in such court or that any such suit,
action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and further, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH
SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT ANY SUCH COURT, ALL SHAREHOLDERS AND ALL OTHER SUCH PERSONS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO
A TRIAL BY JURY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. All Shareholders and other such Persons agree that service of summons, complaint
or other process in connection with any proceedings may be made by registered or certified mail or by overnight courier addressed to such
Person at the address shown on the books and records of the Trust for such Person or at the address of the Person shown on the books and
records of the Trust with respect to the Shares that such Person claims an interest in. Service of process in any such suit, action or
proceeding against the Trust or any Trustee or officer of the Trust may be made at the address of the Trust’s registered agent in
the State of Delaware. Any service so made shall be effective as if personally made in the State of Delaware.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being all of
the Trustees of the Trust, have executed this instrument this 20th day of September, 2022.

Subject to any applicable requirements of the 1940 Act, (i) any meeting, regular or special, of the Board of Trustees (or any committee
or sub-committee thereof) may be held by conference telephone or similar communications equipment, by means of which all persons participating
in the meeting can hear each other at the same time, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting
and (ii) at all meetings of the Trustees, every Trustee shall be entitled to vote by proxy, provided that such proxy shall, before
or after such meeting, be delivered to the Secretary or other person responsible for recording the proceedings of such meeting. To the
extent permitted by the 1940 Act, a Trustee may provide any proxy through written, electronic, telephonic, computerized, facsimile, telecommunications,
telex or by any other form of communication.

member at any meeting of such committee. Each such additional committee, to the extent provided in the resolution and/or in such committee’s
Charter, if applicable, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Trustees in the management of the business and affairs
of the Trust; provided, however, that in the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the member or
members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such members constitute a quorum, may unanimously
appoint another member of the Board of Trustees to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Such additional

ARTICLE IV
MEETINGS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS
Section 1. Purpose.
All meetings of the Shareholders may be held for any purpose determined by the Trustees and shall be held at such time and place (which
shall include a meeting held solely by means of remote communications) as may be fixed from time to time by the Trustees, or at such other
place (which shall include a meeting held solely by means of remote communications) either within or without the State of Delaware as
shall be designated from time to time by the Trustees and stated in the notice indicating that a meeting has been called for such purpose.
Subject to any applicable requirements or interpretations of the 1940 Act, any meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference
telephone or similar communication equipment, so long as all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another, and all such persons
shall be deemed to be present in person at such meeting for purposes of the Delaware Act and, to the extent permitted, the 1940 Act. Meetings
of the Shareholders may be held for any purpose determined by the Trustees and may be held at such time and place (which shall include
a meeting held solely by means of remote communications), within or without the State of Delaware as shall be stated in the notice of
the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. At all meetings of the Shareholders, every Record Owner entitled to vote on
a matter to be voted on by such Shares shall be entitled to vote on such matter at such meeting either in person or by written proxy signed
by the Record Owner or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. A Record Owner may duly authorize such attorney in fact through written,
electronic, telephonic, computerized, facsimile, telecommunication, telex or oral communication or by any other form of communication.
Section 2. Nomination
of Trustees.
(a) Any
Shareholder may submit names of individuals to be considered by the Governance Committee or the Board of Trustees for election as
trustees of the Trust, as applicable, provided, however, (i) that such person submits such names in a timely manner as set out
in Section 2 of Article V hereof, (ii) that such person was a shareholder of record at the time of submission of such
names and is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) that the Governance Committee or the Board of Trustees, as applicable,
shall make the final determination of persons to be nominated.
(b) The
process and procedures for the nomination of persons for election or appointment as trustees of the Trust by the Trustees shall be set
forth in the written Charter for the Governance Committee of the Board of Trustees.
Section 3. Election
of Trustees. All meetings of the Shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees shall be held on such date and at such time as
shall be designated from time to time by the Trustees and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which the Shareholders shall elect by
a plurality vote any number of Trustees as the notice for such meeting shall state are to be elected, and transact such other business
as may properly be brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 1 of this Article IV.
Section 4. Annual
Meetings. There shall be no annual meetings of the Shareholders for the election of Trustees or the transaction of any other business
except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable federal law. In the event any annual meeting of the Shareholders is to be held,
it shall be held at the principal executive office of the Trust or as otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees (which shall include
a meeting held solely by means of remote communications).
Section 5. Special
Meetings. Special meetings of the Shareholders shall be held as provided herein or in the Agreement or as otherwise required by the
1940 Act or other applicable federal law. Except as required by federal law including the 1940 Act, the Shareholders shall not be entitled
to call, or to have the Secretary call, special meetings of the Shareholders. To the extent required by federal law including the 1940
Act, special meetings of the Shareholders shall be called by the Secretary upon the request of the Shareholders owning Shares representing
at least the percentage of the total combined votes of all Shares of the Trust issued and outstanding required by federal law including
the 1940 Act, provided that (a) such request shall state the purposes of such meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on, and
(b) the Shareholders requesting such meeting shall have paid to the Trust the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing
the notice thereof, which the Secretary shall determine and specify to such Shareholders.
Section 6. Notice
of Meetings. Written notice of a special meeting stating the place (which shall include a meeting held solely by means of remote communications),
date, and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten days before
the date of the meeting, to each Shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting in accordance with Article V hereof. No notice of any
meeting need be given to any Shareholder who attends such meeting in person or to any Shareholder who waives notice of such meeting (which
waiver shall be filed with the records of such meeting), whether before or after the time of the meeting. In the absence of fraud, any
irregularities in the notice of any meeting or the nonreceipt of any such notice by any of the Shareholders shall not invalidate any action
otherwise properly taken at any such meeting.
Section 7. Conduct
of Special Meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of the Shareholders shall be limited to (i) the purpose stated
in the notice and (ii) the adjournment of such special meeting with regard to such stated purpose.
Section 8. Quorum.
The holders of one-third of the Outstanding Shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Shareholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by applicable
law or by the Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with respect to any matter which by applicable law or by the
Agreement requires the separate approval of one or more Classes or Portfolios, the holders of one-third of the Outstanding Shares of
each such Class or Portfolio (or of such Classes or Portfolios voting together as a single class) entitled to vote on the
matter shall constitute a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the Shareholders,
the vote of the holders of a majority of Shares cast or the chair of the meeting in his or her discretion, shall have power to
adjourn the meeting from time to time in accordance with Article IV, Section 16 hereof, without notice other than
announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be
present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
Section 9. Organization
of Meetings.
(a) The
meetings of the Shareholders shall be presided over by the Chair, or if the Chair shall not be present, by the Vice Chair, if any, or
if the Vice Chair shall not be present or if there is no Vice Chair, by the President, or if the President shall not be present, by a
Vice President or Assistant Vice President, or if no Vice President or Assistant Vice President is present, by a chair appointed for such
purpose by the Board of Trustees or, if not so appointed, by a chair appointed for such purpose by the officers and Trustees present at
the meeting. The Secretary of the Trust, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if the Secretary is not present, an Assistant
Secretary of the Trust shall so act, unless no Assistant Secretary is present, in which case a person designated by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Trust shall so act.
(b) The
Board of Trustees of the Trust shall be entitled to make such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the Shareholders
as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Trustees, if any, the
chair of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as,
in the judgment of such chair, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation,
establishing: an agenda or order of business for the meeting; rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety
of those present; limitations on participation in such meeting to shareholders of record of the Trust and their duly authorized and constituted
proxies, and such other persons as the chair shall permit; restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement
thereof; limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls
for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees or
the chair of the meeting, meetings of the Shareholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary
procedure.
Section 10. Voting
Standard. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares cast shall decide any question
brought before such meeting, unless the question is one on which, by express provision of applicable law, the Governing Instrument, or
applicable contract, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such
question.
Section 11. Voting
Procedure. Each whole Share shall be entitled to one vote, and each fractional Share shall be entitled to a proportionate
fractional vote. On any matter submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, all Shares shall be voted together, except when required by
applicable law or when the Trustees have determined that the matter affects the interests of one or more Portfolios (or Classes),
then only the Shareholders of such Portfolios (or Classes) shall be entitled to vote thereon.
Section 12. Action
Without Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Agreement or applicable law, any action required to be taken at any meeting of the
Shareholders, or any action which may be taken at any meeting of the Shareholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice
and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of Outstanding Shares (or
a class of Shares in the case of a class vote) having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all Shares of the Trust (or such class) entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt
notice of the taking of any such action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those Shareholders
of the Trust (or such class, as applicable) who have not consented in writing.
Section 13. Broker
Non-Votes. At any meeting of the Shareholders the Trust will consider broker non-votes as present for purposes of determining whether
a quorum is present at the meeting. Broker non-votes will not count as votes cast for or against any proposals.
Section 14. Abstentions.
At any meeting of the Shareholders the Trust will consider abstentions as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present
at the meeting. Abstentions will not count as votes cast for or against any proposals.
Section 15. Record
Date for Shareholder Meetings and Consents. In order that the Trustees may determine the Record Owners entitled to notice of or to
vote at any meeting of the Shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to action in writing without a meeting, the
Board of Trustees may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date
is adopted by the Board of Trustees, and which record date shall not be more than ninety nor less than ten days before the original date
upon which the meeting of the Shareholders is scheduled, nor more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record
date is adopted by the Board of Trustees for action by shareholder consent in writing without a meeting. A determination of Record Owners
entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that
the Board of Trustees may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting so long as notice of the adjournment and the new record and
meeting dates are given to the Shareholders.
Section 16. Postponements
and Adjournments.
(a) Prior
to the date upon which any meeting of Shareholders is to be held, the Board of Trustees may postpone such meeting one or more times
for any reason by giving notice to each Shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting so postponed of the place (which shall include a
meeting held solely by means of remote communications), date and hour at which such meeting will be held. Such notice shall be given
not fewer than two (2) days before the date of such meeting and otherwise in accordance with Article V.A meeting of the
Shareholders convened on the date for which it was called may be adjourned from time to time without further notice to the
Shareholders to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. A meeting of the Shareholders may not be adjourned for
more than 120 days after the original record date for such meeting without giving the Shareholders notice of the adjournment and the
new meeting date. Except as otherwise set forth in Article IV, Section 8 hereof, the vote of the holders of one-third
(1/3) of the Shares cast, or the chair of the meeting in his or her discretion, shall have the power to adjourn a meeting of the
Shareholders with regard to a particular proposal scheduled to be voted on at such meeting or to adjourn such meeting entirely.
(b) In
voting for adjournment, the persons named as proxies may vote their proxies (including those marked “withhold,” “against”
or “abstain”) in favor of one or more adjournments of the meeting, or the chair of the meeting may call an adjournment, provided
such Persons determine that such adjournment is reasonable and in the best interests of Shareholders and the Trust, based on a consideration
of such factors as they may deem relevant.
Section 17. Voting
– Proxies. At all meetings of the Shareholders, every Shareholder of record entitled to vote thereat shall be entitled to vote
either in person or by proxy, which term shall include proxies provided by such Shareholder, or his duly authorized attorney, through
written, electronic, telephonic, computerized, facsimile, telecommunications, telex or oral communication or by any other form of communication,
each pursuant to such voting procedures and through such systems as are authorized by the Board of Trustees or any officer of the Trust.
Proxies may be solicited in the name of one or more Trustees or one or more officers of the Trust.
Unless the proxy provides otherwise, it shall not
be valid for more than eleven (11) months before the date of the meeting. All proxies shall be delivered to the secretary of the meeting
or other person responsible for recording the proceedings before being voted. A valid proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable
shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it before the vote pursuant to that proxy is taken
(a) by a writing delivered to the Trust stating that the proxy is revoked, (b) by a subsequent proxy executed by such person,
(c) attendance at the meeting and voting in person by the person executing that proxy, or (d) revocation by such person using
any electronic, telephonic, computerized or other alternative means authorized by the Trustees for authorizing the proxy to act; or (ii) written
notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the Trust before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted.
Unless revoked, any proxy given in connection with a postponed or adjourned meeting for which a new record date is fixed shall continue
to be valid so long as the Shareholder giving such proxy is a Shareholder of record on such new such record date.
A proxy with respect to Shares held in the name
of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by one of them unless at or prior to exercise of such proxy the Trust receives a specific
written notice to the contrary from any one of them in which case such proxy shall not be valid and no vote shall be received in respect
of such Shares unless all persons holding such Shares shall agree on their manner of voting. Unless otherwise specifically limited by
their terms, proxies shall entitle the Shareholder to vote at any adjournment of a Shareholders’ meeting.
Section 18. Concerning
Validity of Proxies, Ballots, Etc. At every meeting of the Shareholders, all proxies shall be received and taken in charge of and
all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting, who shall decide all questions touching the qualification
of voters, the validity of proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless inspectors of election shall have been appointed
as provided below in this section, in which event such inspectors of election shall decide all such questions.
A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf
of a Record Owner shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest
on the challenger. Subject to the provisions of the Delaware Act, the Agreement, or these By- laws, the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware relating to proxies, and judicial interpretations thereunder, shall govern all matters concerning the giving, voting
or validity of proxies, as if the Trust were a Delaware corporation and the Shareholders were stockholders of a Delaware corporation.
At any election of Trustees, the Board of Trustees
prior thereto may, or, if they have not so acted, the chairman of the meeting may, appoint one or more inspectors of election who shall
first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such election with strict impartiality and according
to the best of their ability, and shall after the election make a certificate of the result of the vote taken. No candidate for the office
of Trustee shall be appointed as an inspector.
The chairman of the meeting may cause a vote by
ballot to be taken upon any election or matter, and, to the extent required by federal law including the 1940 Act, but only to such extent,
such vote shall be taken upon the request of the Shareholders owning Shares representing ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined
votes of all Shares of the Trust issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such election or matter.
Section 19. Meetings
by Remote Communications. The Trustees may, in their sole discretion, determine that a meeting of Shareholders may be held partly
or solely by means of remote communications. If authorized by the Trustees, in their sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and
procedures as the Trustees may adopt, Shareholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of Shareholders may, by means
of remote communications: (a) participate in a meeting of Shareholders; and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting
of Shareholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communications, provided that: (i) the
Trust shall implement such measures as the Trustees deem to be reasonable (A) to verify that each person deemed present and permitted
to vote at the meeting by means of remote communications is a Shareholder or proxyholder; and (B) to provide such Shareholders and
proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the Shareholders; and (ii) if
any Shareholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communications, a record of such vote or
other action shall be maintained by the Trust. The Trustees may, in their sole discretion, notify Shareholders of any postponement, adjournment
or a change of the place of a meeting of Shareholders (including a change to hold the meeting solely by means of remote communications)
by a document publicly filed by the Trust with the Commission without the requirement of any further notice hereunder.
ARTICLE V
NOTICES
Section 1. Methods
of Giving Notice. Whenever, under the provisions of applicable law or of the Agreement or of these Bylaws, notice is required to
be given to any Trustee or Shareholder, it shall not, unless otherwise provided herein, be construed to mean personal notice, but
such notice may be given orally in person, or by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) or in writing, by mail addressed to such
Trustee at his or her last given address or to such Shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Trust, with
postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United
States mail, or given as otherwise provided herein, and notice by a document publicly filed with the Commission shall be deemed
given at the time the Trust files such document. Notice to Trustees or members of a committee or sub-committee may also be given by
telex, telegram, facsimile, electronic-mail or via overnight courier. If sent by telex or facsimile, notice to a Trustee or member
of a committee or sub-committee shall be deemed to be given upon transmittal; if sent by telegram, notice to a Trustee or member of
a committee or sub-committee shall be deemed to be given when the telegram, so addressed, is delivered to the telegraph company; if
sent by electronic-mail, notice to a Trustee or member of a committee or sub-committee shall be deemed to be given and shall be
presumed valid when the Trust’s electronic-mail server reflects the electronic-mail message as having been sent; and if sent
via overnight courier, notice to a Trustee or member of a committee or sub-committee shall be deemed to be given when delivered
against a receipt therefor.
Section 2. Annual
Meeting Notice Requirements for Nominations and Proposals by Shareholders.
(a) For
nominations or other business to be properly brought before any annual meeting by a Shareholder, the Shareholder must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Trust and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for action
by Shareholders. To be timely, a Shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices
of the Trust not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the
120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 60 days from such anniversary
date or if the Trust did not hold an annual meeting in the previous year, notice by the Shareholder to be timely must be so
delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the
close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which
public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Trust. In no event shall the public announcement of a
postponement or adjournment of an annual meeting to a later date or time commence a new time period for the giving of a
Shareholder’s notice as described above. Such Shareholder’s notice shall set forth (A) as to each person whom the
Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a Trustee all information relating to such person that is required to
be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including such
person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Trustee if elected);
(B) as to any other business that the Shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business
desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such
business of such Shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the
Shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (i) the
name and address of such Shareholder, as they appear on the Trust’s books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the
number of shares of each Class of Shares of the Portfolio which are owned beneficially and of record by such Shareholder and
such beneficial owner. A Shareholder providing notice of any nomination or any other business proposed to be made at a meeting shall
further update and supplement such notice so that: with respect to nominations of persons for election as a Trustee, any additional
information reasonably requested by the Board of Trustees to determine that each person whom the Shareholder proposes to nominate
for election as a Trustee is qualified to act as a Trustee, including information reasonably requested by the Board of Trustees to
determine that such proposed candidate has met the trustee qualifications as set out in the written charter of the Governance
Committees, is provided and such update and supplement shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Trust not later than five (5) business days after the request by the Board of Trustees for additional information regarding
trustee qualifications has been delivered to, or mailed and received by, such Shareholder providing notice of any nomination. A
Shareholder shall be disqualified from bringing any business proposed to be brought before a meeting if any of the information in
such Shareholder’s notice, or provided in connection therewith, is not correct and complete or if such Shareholder does not
comply fully with the representations in such notice.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 2 to the contrary, in the event that the number of Trustees
to be elected to the Board of Trustees is increased and there is no public announcement by the Trust naming all of the nominees for Trustee
or specifying the size of the increased Board of Trustees at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s
annual meeting, a Shareholder’s notice required by this Section 2 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to
nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices
of the Trust not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by
the Trust.
Section 3. Special
Meeting Notice Requirement for Nominations and Proposals by Shareholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting
of the Shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Trust’s notice of meeting.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Trustees may be
made at a special meeting of the Shareholders at which Trustees are to be elected (A) pursuant to the Trust’s notice of meeting,
(B) by or at the direction of the Board of Trustees or (C) provided that the Board of Trustees has determined that Trustees
shall be elected at such special meeting, by any Shareholder of the Trust who is a Record Owner both at the time of giving of notice provided
for in Section 2(a) of this Article V and at the time of the special meeting, with proof of such ownership or holding reasonably
satisfactory to the Trust to be provided by such Record Owner or Nominee Holder at each such aforementioned time, and who is entitled
to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 2(a) of this Article V. In the
event the Trust calls a special meeting of the Shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more Trustees to the Board of Trustees,
any such Shareholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position as specified in the Trust’s
notice of meeting, if the Shareholder’s notice containing the information required by Section 2(a) of this Article V
shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Trust not earlier than the close of business on the 120th
day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special
meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting
and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Trustees to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of a postponement
or adjournment of a special meeting to a later date or time commence a new time period for the giving of a Shareholder’s notice
as described above.
Section 4. Written
Waiver. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of applicable law or of the Governing Instrument, a waiver
thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be
deemed equivalent thereto.
ARTICLE VI
CERTIFICATES OF SHARES AND SHARE OWNERSHIP
Section 1. Share
Ownership and Transfer of Shares. All Shares issued by the Trust shall be uncertificated, and any certificates previously issued
with respect to any Shares are deemed to be cancelled without any requirement for surrender to the Trust. The Trustees shall make
such rules as they consider appropriate for the transfer of Shares and similar matters. With respect to any Shares for which a
certificate was previously issued and remains outstanding, upon receipt of any request for transfer of Shares evidenced by a share
certificate upon surrender to the Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of such certificate for Shares duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, the Trust shall cancel the old certificate and
record the transaction and the ownership of uncertificated Shares upon its books. No Shareholder shall have the right to demand or
require that a certificate be issued to him, her or it.
Section 2. Shareholder
Book. The Trust shall keep or cause to be kept a Shareholder book, which may be maintained by means of computer systems, containing
the names, alphabetically arranged, of all persons who are shareholders of the Trust, showing their places of residence, the number and
Class of any Shares held by them, respectively, and the dates when they became the Record Owners thereof.
Section 3. Registered
Shareholders. The ownership of Shares shall be recorded on the books of the Trust or a transfer or similar agent for the Trust, which
books shall contain the names and addresses of the Shareholders and the Shares held by each Shareholder. The record books of the Trust
as kept by the Trust or any transfer or similar agent, as the case may be, shall be conclusive as to the identity of the Shareholders
of each Portfolio and Class and as to the number of Shares of the Trust and of each Portfolio and Class held from time to time
by each Shareholder. The Trust shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of
Shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim of interest in
such Share or Shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice hereof. No Shareholder shall
be entitled to receive payment of any distribution or to have notice given to such Shareholder of any meeting or other action in respect
of the Trust or any Portfolio or Class until such Shareholder has given its address and such other information as shall be required
to such officer or agent of the Trust or such Portfolio or Class as shall keep the record books of the Trust or such Portfolio or
Class for entry thereof.
Section 4. Record
Date for Receiving Dividends and Other Actions. In order that the Trustees may determine the Record Owners entitled to receive payment
of any dividend or other distribution of allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion
or exchange of Shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action (other than the record date for meetings of shareholders as set forth
in Section 15 of Article IV), the Board of Trustees may fix a record date, which record date (i) shall be set forth in
the resolution or resolutions authorizing the payment of such dividend or other lawful action and (ii) shall not precede the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Trustees.
ARTICLE VII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 1. Seal.
The Board of Trustees may provide that the Trust have a business seal. The business seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the
statutory trust, the state of its organization, the year of its organization and the words “Business Trust” or “Statutory
Trust.” The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced,
including placing the word “[SEAL]” adjacent to the signature of the person authorized to sign a document on behalf of the
Trust. Any officer or Trustee of the Trust shall have authority to affix the seal of the Trust to any document requiring the same.
Section 2. Severability.
The provisions of these Bylaws are severable. If any provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision only in such jurisdiction and shall not affect any other provision
of these Bylaws.
Section 3. Headings.
Headings are placed in these Bylaws for convenience of reference only and in case of any conflict, the text of these Bylaws rather than
the headings shall control.
ARTICLE VIII
INDEMNIFIC ATION
Section 1. Indemnification.
(a) To
the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trust (or applicable Portfolio) shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding (other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Trust or a Portfolio)
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Covered Person, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually
and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding.
(b) To
the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trust (or applicable Portfolio) shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding by or in the right of the Trust (or such Portfolio) to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Covered Person, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by that person in connection with the investigation, defense or settlement of such proceeding.
(c) Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary contained herein, no Covered Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, judgments, fines, amounts paid
in settlement, or other liability or loss arising by reason of disabling conduct or for any proceedings by such Covered Person against
the Trust. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order
of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the person engaged in disabling conduct.
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any action, suit or other proceeding voluntarily prosecuted by any indemnitee as plaintiff,
indemnification shall be mandatory only if the prosecution of such action, suit or other proceeding by such indemnitee (1) was
authorized by a majority of the Trustees or (2) was instituted by the indemnitee to enforce his or her rights to
indemnification hereunder in a case in which the indemnitee is found to be entitled to such indemnification. The rights to
indemnification set forth in these Bylaws shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Trustee or officer of the Trust and
shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. No amendment or restatement of
these Bylaws or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate any of the benefits provided to any person who at any time
is or was a trustee or officer of the Trust or otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of any act or omission
that occurred prior to such amendment, restatement or repeal.
Section 2. Advance
Payment of Indemnification Expenses. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trust or applicable Portfolio shall advance to any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a Trustee or officer of the Trust the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense of such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trust or applicable
Portfolio may advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a Covered Person (other than a Trustee or officer of the Trust) the expenses actually and reasonably incurred
by such person in connection with the defense of such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary contained herein, the Trust shall not advance expenses to any Covered Person (including a Trustee or officer of the Trust)
unless:
(a) the
Trust or applicable Portfolio has received an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that the amount of all expenses so advanced
will be paid over by such person to the Trust or applicable Portfolio unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled
to indemnification for such expenses; and
(b) (i) such
Covered Person shall have provided appropriate security for such undertaking; (ii) the Trust or applicable Portfolio shall be insured
against losses by reason of any lawful advance payments; or (iii) either (1) the Trustees, by the vote of a majority of a quorum
of qualifying Trustees (as defined in Section 6 below), or (2) independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have determined,
based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered
Person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.
Section 3. Determination
of Entitlement to Indemnification. Any indemnification required or permitted under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court)
shall be made by the Trust or applicable Portfolio only as authorized in the specific case upon a reasonable determination, based upon
a review of the facts, that the Covered Person is entitled to indemnification because (i) he or she is not liable by reason of disabling
conduct, or (ii) in cases where there is no liability, he or she has not engaged in disabling conduct. Such determination shall be
made by (i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of qualifying Trustees; or (ii) if there are no such Trustees, or if such Trustees
so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2 of this Article VIII,
if a determination that a Covered Person engaged in disabling conduct is made in accordance with this Section 3, no further advances
of expenses shall be made, and all prior advances, and insurance premiums paid for by the Trust, if applicable, must be repaid.
Section 4. Contract
Rights. With respect to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved as a witness in,
any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Covered Person, the rights to indemnification conferred in
Section 1 of this Article VIII, and with respect to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to, or is involved as a witness in, any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Trustee or officer of the
Trust, the advancement of expenses conferred in Section 2 of this Article VIII shall be contract rights. Any amendment,
repeal, or modification of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VIII (or any provision hereof) shall
not adversely affect any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses granted to any such person pursuant hereto with respect
to any act or omission of such person occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal, modification, or adoption (regardless
of whether the proceeding relating to such acts or omissions is commenced before or after the time of such amendment, repeal,
modification, or adoption). Any amendment or modification of, or adoption of any provision inconsistent with, this Article VIII
(or any provision hereof), that has the effect of positively affecting any right to indemnification or advancement of expenses
granted to any such person pursuant hereto, shall not apply retroactively to any person who was not serving as a Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the Trust at the time of such amendment, modification or adoption.
Section 5. Claims.
(a) If
(X) a claim under Section 1 of this Article VIII with respect to any right to indemnification is not paid in full by the
Trust or applicable Portfolio within sixty days after a written demand has been received by the Trust or applicable Portfolio or (Y) a
claim under Section 2 of this Article VIII with respect to any right to the advancement of expenses is not paid in full by the
Trust or applicable Portfolio within thirty days after a written demand has been received by the Trust or applicable Portfolio, then the
Covered Person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, may at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Trust or applicable Portfolio to recover the unpaid amount of the claim.
(b) If
successful in whole or in part in any suit brought pursuant to Section 5(a) of this Article VIII, or in a suit brought
by the Trust or applicable Portfolio to recover an advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to the terms of an undertaking or otherwise),
the Covered Person seeking to enforce a right to indemnification or an advancement of expenses hereunder or the Covered Person from whom
the Trust or applicable Portfolio sought to recover an advancement of expenses, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be paid by the
Trust or applicable Portfolio the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of prosecuting or defending such suit.
Section 6. Definitions.
For purposes of this Article VIII: (a) references to “Trust” include any domestic or foreign predecessor entity
of this Trust in a merger, consolidation, or other transaction in which the predecessor’s existence ceased upon consummation of
the transaction; (b) the term “disabling conduct” means willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or the reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the Covered Person’s office with the Trust or applicable Portfolio; (c) the
term “expenses” includes, without limitations, attorneys’ fees; (d) the term “proceeding” means any
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; and (e) the

is not a party to the proceeding.
ARTICLE IX
VOTING OF SECURITIES
Section 1. Voting of Securities. Unless

| · | Employees shall maintain a Covered
Account with a financial institution that provides electronic trade confirmations (or contract notes) and statements directly to GEO. |
| · | If
the financial institution fails or is unable to provide an electronic link or a hard copy,
the Covered Person shall be personally responsible for providing transactional statements
and trade confirmations (or contract notes) for the Covered Account(s) to GEO through the
GEO Support Portal or where applicable, to their local Compliance upon request. |
| · | All
Covered Accounts must be reported in the Compliance Reporting System before trading begins
or upon hire. Statements are not required for accounts that do not meet the Covered Accounts

Pre-Clearance of Personal Trades.
Covered
Persons and their Immediate Family Members are required to pre-clear Covered Securities transactions through the Compliance Reporting
System as illustrated in Exhibit A.
Covered
Persons are prohibited from executing a security transaction (trade) in a Covered Account until they are notified by GEO that the trade
was approved. Covered Persons must carefully read the automated alert from the Compliance Reporting System, which includes the request
status (i.e., approved or denied).
Covered
Accounts in which a Covered Person has beneficial interest but does not exercise control (e.g., accounts for Immediate Family Members),
all trade requests are required to be submitted through the Covered Person.
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved
by Compliance.
GEO
will notify the Covered Person if the trade request was approved or denied.
Trade
Authorization (i.e., Market Orders). Trade requests which have been submitted and approved within the Compliance Reporting
System prior to market close are only valid for the current business day, unless the approval is granted after the close of the trading
day (e.g., trading on a foreign market or OTC), then approval will not expire until the end of the next trading day.
If
the trade is not executed within the approval window, a Covered Person shall be required to submit a new pre-clearance request and must
receive approval if the Covered Person intends to trade in that security.
Prohibited
Trade Orders. Covered Persons are required to avoid executing transactions outside of the approval window. Good ‘Til
Canceled (GTC), Limit Orders and Stop-Limit Orders among other orders beyond the same trading day are prohibited.
Pre-clearance
of Limited Offerings and Private Placements. Covered Persons and their Immediate Family Members must:
| · | Pre-clear
investments in Limited Offerings and Private Placements and receive approval from GEO before

Individuals
who meet the definition of a Covered Person and are on a formal leave of absence or garden leave without access to Invesco systems are
not considered Covered Persons during the time they are on leave.
C. | VIOLATIONS AND SANCTIONS |
Covered
Persons shall report violations and potential violations of this Code to the GEO. Violations and potential violations of the Code are
investigated by GEO. Independent Directors/Trustees may report violations and potential violations to the applicable CCO (or their delegate).
If
a determination is made that a Covered Person (excluding Independent Directors/Trustees) has violated the Code, a sanction may be imposed
in accordance with the escalation procedure. Sanctions vary based on the severity of the violation(s) and include, but are not limited
to:
| · | a
letter of education, a letter of warning or letter of reprimand; |
| · | reversal
of trades processed in violation of the Code; |
| · | disgorgement
of profits earned in the Code violation; |

| · | termination
of employment; |
| · | referral

| · | any
other sanction, as may be determined by the GEO, CCO and/or applicable governance committee. |
The
GEO maintains internal procedures regarding the violation investigation, sanction determination and sanction enforcement process.
In
mitigating or eliminating certain conflicts of interest that arise in connection with a Covered Person’s personal trading, a Covered
Person may be required to sell a Covered Security that was previously approved. In the event the sale results in a loss, the Covered
Person will not be entitled to reimbursement for such loss. In the event of a gain, the Covered Person may be required to disgorge any
profit.
In
general, the GEO shall be responsible for the administration and oversight of the Code and shall be responsible for:
| · | identifying Covered Persons, providing Covered Persons with the Code and notifying
them of their reporting obligations under the Code, and ensuring that Covered Persons submit the required certifications and reports
required under the Code; |
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved

In
very limited circumstances, certain exceptions to any provision of the Code may be granted on a case-by-case basis by the applicable
CCO or their delegate. Such exceptions shall be documented in writing by the GEO.

applicable Board that describes significant issues arising under the Code since the last
report to the Board, including information about material violations of the Code and sanctions
imposed in response to material violations. The CCO shall certify that the applicable Invesco

designed to prevent Covered Persons from violating the Code. At this time, the Board shall

by Compliance.

required to ensure that Covered Accounts held with a broker located in the UK are maintained:
| · | with
a financial institution on the UK Designated/Approved Broker List (which may be accessed
via the Compliance Reporting System); |
| · | in
a qualified retirement plan that a Covered Person is not legally or unilaterally able to

| · | in
an account maintained with a financial institution (or broker on the Designated/Approved

3. | Pre-Clearance of Personal
Trades. |
Covered Persons and
their Immediate Family Members are required to pre-clear Covered Securities transactions through the Compliance Reporting System
as illustrated in Exhibit B.
Covered
Persons are prohibited from executing a security transaction (trade) in a Covered Account until they are notified by GEO that the trade
was approved. Covered Persons must carefully read the automated alert from the Compliance Reporting System, which includes the request
status (i.e., approved or denied).
Covered
Accounts in which a Covered Person has beneficial interest but does not exercise control (e.g., accounts for Immediate Family Members),
all trade requests are required to be submitted through the Covered Person.
GEO will
notify the Covered Person if the trade request was approved or denied.
Trade
Authorization (i.e., Market Orders). Trade requests which have been submitted and approved within the Compliance Reporting
System prior to market close are only valid for the current business day, unless the approval is granted after the close of the trading
day (e.g., trading on a foreign market or OTC), then approval will not expire until the end of the next trading day.
If
the trade is not executed within the approval window, a Covered Person shall be required to submit a new pre-clearance request and must
receive approval if the Covered Person intends to trade in that security.
Prohibited
Trade Orders. Covered Persons are required to avoid executing transactions outside of the approval window. Good
‘Til Canceled (GTC), Limit Orders and Stop-Limit Orders among other orders beyond the same trading day are
prohibited.

investing, and allow a minimum of three to five business days before the intended investment
date to allow ample time for review. |
| · | Submit
a Private Placement pre-clearance request through the Compliance Reporting System
and include a detailed description of the investment and relevant documentation (e.g., offering
deck, offering/private placement memorandum and term sheet). |
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved
by Compliance.
Additionally,
Covered Persons seeking to invest in a Limited Offering/Private Placement sponsored by Invesco Ltd. and its affiliates:
| · | Must
pre-clear all transactions through the Compliance Reporting System if the investment is made
alongside third-party investors. |

transact without pre-clearance if Invesco offers the investment exclusively to Employees. |
In
all instances, Limited Offerings and Private Placements are subject to ongoing reporting obligations. Please consult Legal and the Global

INVESCO ASSET MANAGEMENT (INDIA) PVT. LTD.
PERSONAL
TRADING POLICY
Draft: |
: |
Final |
Version |
: |
9.2 |
Effective Date |
: |
December 1, 2021 |
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved
by Compliance.

| 1. | Introduction, Purpose and Background |
The reputation of Invesco Asset Management (India)
Pvt. Ltd. (‘IAMI’ or ‘the Company’)/ Invesco Trustee Pvt. Ltd. (‘ITPL’) is of paramount importance
and needs to be protected by rules on dealings in investments by employees of IAMI/ITPL. It is important to avoid any dealings, which
could give rise to criticism harmful to the reputation of IAMI.
The purpose of the Personal Trading Policy (‘Policy’)
is to ensure the fair treatment of client accounts through the highest standard of integrity and ethical business conduct by employees.
For purposes of this Policy, the terms “clients” and “client accounts” always refer to the investments that IAMI
manages or sub- advises or other accounts in which IAMI has been engaged to provide money management services.
The rules set out below form the basis on
which all employees employed by and working for IAMI/ ITPL are permitted to deal in securities. These rules have been drafted in
accordance with the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) under the SEBI (Mutual Funds)
Regulations, 1996 and the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 and other regulations/ circulars issued by SEBI from
time to time that govern the broader Invesco Ltd. global organization.
Employees are bound by the Personal Trading Policy
and are required to observe them both in letter and spirit. All employee dealings are permitted only in the circumstances and in accordance
with the procedures set out hereunder. Any breaches of these rules and procedures may be considered as grounds for disciplinary action
which may include dismissal. Breaches must be reported to Compliance immediately as they are identified.
The objectives and principles of the Policy:
| ⮚ | All personal securities transactions must be
conducted in a manner consistent with the guidelines of the Policy and in such manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of
interest or any abuse of position of trust and responsibility. |
| ⮚ | Employees shall not take undue advantage of any
sensitive information that they may have about any company or its securities or about the AMC’s schemes or its units. |
| ⮚ | To guide Employees of AMC and Trustees in maintaining
a high standard of probity that would be expected from employee in a position of responsibility. |
| ⮚ | Employees should not abuse the freedom to deal
or deal to the disadvantage of any client or the Company. |
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved
by Compliance.

The Policy applies to all Employees of IAMI/ITPL
and their Covered Accounts (defined below). Employees include CEO/Managing Director, Whole Time directors, Executive Directors, non-board
directors, full-time employees, temporary, part-time, contract, seasonal personnel; employees who are on secondment to the IAMI/ITPL and
such other persons that may be deemed to be covered by Compliance. All new employees shall be bound by these rules from the date
of joining. These rules may be added to or amended at any time. Notice of changes/amendment will be notified to all Employees and
the procedures as varied must be complied with from the specified effective date.
Invesco recognizes that certain relationships
with non-employees, such as consultants or independent contractors, may present particular risks that inappropriate trading could occur
in the event that they have access to non-public information. As part of the process for engaging the services of consultants or other
independent contractors, Invesco may deem it necessary to have a non- employee agree to be bound by the Policy.
Personal securities transactions must be conducted
in a manner that avoids any actual or perceived conflict of interest. Using the Star Compliance automated request system (Star Compliance),
Employees are required to report holdings in Covered Securities (defined below) as well as pre-clear personal securities transactions
in Covered Securities in a Covered Account and report such transactions.
Note: Executive
Directors / Whole Time Directors who are employees of IAMI / ITPL are covered under this policy.
A Covered Account is defined for purposes of this
Policy as any account in which an employee may hold a Covered Security (see below):
| ⮚ | In which an Employee has a direct or indirect
financial interest; |
| ⮚ | Over which such Employee has direct or indirect
control over the purchase or sale of securities; or |
| ⮚ | In which securities are held for an Employee’s
direct or indirect benefit. |
Such Covered Accounts may include, but are not
limited to, accounts where there are transactions for dealing in securities made:
| · | in the Employee’s name, either individually
or jointly; |
| · | in the name of employee’s spouse in the
name of family members sharing the same household; |
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved

employee or of the spouse of such employee, any of whom is either dependent financially on such employee or spouse of employee, or consults
such employee or spouse of employee in taking decisions relating to trading in securities; and |
| · | in accounts as a member of Hindu Undivided Family
(HUF). |
The Policy shall also cover Employees’ securities
dealing in fiduciary capacity, for the entity in which the Employee has a financial interest or exercises control.
Employees may only maintain brokerage accounts
with approved broker dealers. Please refer to the following link in Invesco’s intranet site for the list of broker- dealers:

a cooling off period of 30 calendar days from the preparation of such reports or 15 calendar days from the date the last transaction
in that particular security by the Mutual Fund/PMS, whichever is later.
Pre-clearance approval will not be given if approval
of the transaction would result in a violation of any of the restrictions on personal trading outlined in this policy.
Blackout Rule:
The Company does not permit Employees to trade
in a Covered Security if there is conflicting activity in a client account.
| ⮚ | if the stock, shares, debentures, bonds, or warrants
of any company, or derivatives specified by the employee, or an equivalent security are held by any scheme of the client account/PMS; |
| ⮚ | if the stock, shares, debentures, bonds, or warrants
of any company, or derivatives specified by the employee or an equivalent security are held by any scheme of the client account/PMS, then
there should be cooling period of 15 calendar days. In other words, an application for purchase/sale would be cleared only if the scheme(s) of
a client account / PMS has not transacted in that particular security within 15 calendar days before the date of application; or |
| ⮚ | if there is a client order on the stock, shares,
debentures, bonds, or warrants of any company, or derivatives specified by the employee or an equivalent security with the trading desk. |
In addition to the blackout rule of 15 days
after the trade in client account/PMS in that security or an equivalent security, investment personnel may not buy or sell a Covered Security
within three trading days before a client trades in that security or an equivalent security.
For the purposes of this policy, an equivalent
security means a security that (1) is convertible into another security of the same issuer or (2) gives its holder the right
to purchase another security of the same issuer. For example, a bond or preferred stock may be convertible into another security of the
same issuer, or an option or warrant may give the holder the right to purchase stock of the same issuer. ADR and EDR shares are considered
equivalent to their corresponding foreign shares.
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved
by Compliance.

Further, there is a cooling period of 60 calendar
days between the last transactions in the same security by all Employees (except Designated Persons as addressed below) i.e., in case of
request to sell, there are no purchases within 60 calendar days of the request and in case of request to buy, there is no sale transaction
within 60 calendar days of the request. The holding period will be counted on last in first out basis.
Designated Persons are required to hold Covered
Securities (except Mutual Funds units) for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of purchase / allotment. The holding period will
be counted on last in first out basis. Designated Persons permitted to trade may not execute a contra trade within a period of 6 months.
If a Designated Person executes a contra trade i.e., sale of security within six months of last purchase, inadvertently or otherwise, any
profit from the trade shall be liable to be disgorged for remittance to SEBI for credit to the Investor Protection and Education Fund.
Further, a notional trading window will be used
as an instrument of monitoring trading by the Designated Persons. The time for commencement of the trading window and re-opening of the
trading window shall be decided by compliance. When the trading window is closed, Designated Persons and their family members sharing
the same household shall not trade in the security in Covered Accounts.
In the case of ESOPs held by family members sharing
the same household of Designated Persons, exercise of ESOP may be allowed in the period when the trading window is closed. However, sale
of shares allotted on exercise of ESOP shall not be allowed when trading window is closed.
Compliance will review transactions of the Employees
in Covered Accounts and transactions of the Client accounts to ensure that there is no conflict of interest – whether the Client
has transacted the same securities either before or after the Employee’s transactions.
Provisions of the “cooling off” period
may be relaxed subject to the following:
| a) | Such relaxation shall be given by Compliance Officer for not more than 2 times in a financial year per
employee. |
| b) | Such relaxation shall be applicable only for sale of securities which are held at least for a year. |
| c) | The request can be submitted anytime during the financial year to the Compliance Officer. Compliance Officer
shall decide on the said request within 5 days of receipt. |
| d) | The approval is valid for 10 trading days and roll over of unexecuted portion, if any, shall not be allowed.
However, a second request can be made within the financial year as stated at (a) above. |
This policy is proprietary and may not be distributed to, or shared with, any third parties, unless required by applicable law or approved
by Compliance.

| e) | The employee shall ensure that from the time of making an application under clause (d) till the conclusion
of the sale of the concerned securities, he/she is not in possession of / does not have access to any non-public information which could
materially impact the price of the concerned securities. Compliance Officer will not grant clearance for such transaction, where the Asset
Management Company is in possession of / has access to any non-public information which could materially impact the price of the concerned
securities. |
In case of pre-existing pledges / encumbered arrangements
(i.e., securities pledged), the provisions of “cooling off” will not be applicable and in the event of sale of securities
by lenders due to shortfall of margin, subject to the following areas follows:
| a) | The employee, on December 1, 2021, or on the date of joining the AMC declare to the Compliance Officer
(i) details of all the pre-existing pledges / encumbered arrangements in which the securities held by him/her are pledged or encumbered
and (ii) details of ESOPs bought with borrowed funds, along with the agreement with such lender. |
| b) | Any instances of sale of securities by lender shall be promptly intimated to the Compliance Officer. The
employee shall ensure the following and submit a self- declaration to the following effect. |

due to shortfall of margin as per the terms of agreement with the lender and he had not entered into any other arrangement with the
lender in this regard.
| c) | The employee shall also submit the margin notice received for the said shortfall of margin to the compliance
officer. |
Options Trading
In the case of personal securities transactions
involving the purchase or sale of an option on an equity security, Compliance will determine whether to authorize the transaction by matching
the pre-clearance request against activity in client accounts in both the option and the underlying security. Pre-clearance approval will
not be given, if there has been a client account transaction in either the optionor the underlying security within the corresponding
Blackout Rule period of the proposed personal securities transaction. Pre-clearance is required for both the opening and closing
transaction. Approval given to an opening transaction does not guarantee that the closing transaction will automatically be approved.

Account, you must grant the manager complete investment discretion over your account. Pre-clearance is not required for trades in this
account; however, you may not participate, directly or indirectly, in individual investment decisions or be aware of such decisions before
transactions are executed. This restriction does not preclude you from establishing investment guidelines for the manager, such as indicating
industries in which you desire to invest, the types of securities you want to purchase or your overall investment objectives. However,
those guidelines may not be changed so frequently as to give the appearance that you are actually directing account investments. Employees
must receive approval from compliance to establish and maintain such an account and must provide written evidence that complete investment
discretion over the account has been turned over to a professional money manager or other third party. Employees are not required
to pre-clear or list transactions for such managed accounts in the automated review system; however, Employees with these types of accounts
must provide an annual certification that they do not exercise direct or indirect control over the managed accounts.
Transactions executed in a managed account are
not subject to pre-clearance nor are they reportable in any Quarterly Transaction Reports; however, an Employee must provide an annual
certification certifying the account is still a discretionary managed account. Compliance approval is required to establish a managed
account with a firm that is not one of the approved broker-dealers. Each discretionary account must be a separate account and cannot be
combined with other accounts.

vide its circular March 4, 2021, has clarified that the employees of AMC and Trustees may avail discretionary Portfolio Management

1. |
Introduction, Purpose and Background |
The reputation of Invesco Asset Management (India)
Pvt. Ltd. (‘IAMI’ or ‘the Company’)/ Invesco Trustee Pvt. Ltd. (‘ITPL’) is of paramount importance
and needs to be protected by rules on dealings in investments by employees of IAMI/ITPL. It is important to avoid any dealings, which
could give rise to criticism harmful to the reputation of IAMI.
The purpose of the Personal Trading Policy (‘Policy’)
is to ensure the fair treatment of client accounts through the highest standard of integrity and ethical business conduct by employees.
For purposes of this Policy, the terms “clients” and “client accounts” always refer to the investments that IAMI
manages or sub- advises or other accounts in which IAMI has been engaged to provide money management services.
The rules set out below form the basis on
which all employees employed by and working for IAMI/ ITPL are permitted to deal in securities. These rules have been drafted in
accordance with the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) under the SEBI (Mutual Funds)
Regulations, 1996 and the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 and other regulations/ circulars issued by SEBI from
time to time that govern the broader Invesco Ltd. global organization.
Employees are bound by the Personal Trading Policy
and are required to observe them both in letter and spirit. All employee dealings are permitted only in the circumstances and in accordance
with the procedures set out hereunder. Any breaches of these rules and procedures may be considered as grounds for disciplinary action
which may include dismissal. Breaches must be reported to Compliance immediately as they are identified.
The objectives and principles of the Policy:
|
⮚ |
All personal securities transactions must be conducted in a manner consistent with the guidelines of the Policy and in such manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of position of trust and responsibility. |
|
⮚ |
Employees shall not take undue advantage of any sensitive information that they may have about any company or its securities or about the AMC’s schemes or its units. |
|
⮚ |
To guide Employees of AMC and Trustees in maintaining a high standard of probity that would be expected from employee in a position of responsibility. |
|
⮚ |
Employees should not abuse the freedom to deal or deal to the disadvantage of any client or the Company. |
This Policy is for Invesco internal use only unless otherwise specified. No portion of this Policy may be reproduced or redistributed
other than by Invesco for education purposes of internal employees or for client due diligence.
The Policy applies to all Employees of IAMI/ITPL
and their Covered Accounts (defined below). Employees include CEO/Managing Director, Whole Time directors, Executive Directors, non-board
directors, full-time employees, temporary, part-time, contract, seasonal personnel; employees who are on secondment to the IAMI/ITPL and
such other persons that may be deemed to be covered by Compliance. All new employees shall be bound by these rules from the date
of joining. These rules may be added to or amended at any time. Notice of changes/amendment will be notified to all Employees and
the procedures as varied must be complied with from the specified effective date.
Invesco recognizes that certain relationships
with non-employees, such as consultants or independent contractors, may present particular risks that inappropriate trading could occur
in the event that they have access to non-public information. As part of the process for engaging the services of consultants or other
independent contractors, Invesco may deem it necessary to have a non- employee agree to be bound by the Policy.
Personal securities transactions must be conducted
in a manner that avoids any actual or perceived conflict of interest. Using the Star Compliance automated request system (Star Compliance),
Employees are required to report holdings in Covered Securities (defined below) as well as pre-clear personal securities transactions
in Covered Securities in a Covered Account and report such transactions.
Note: Executive Directors / Whole Time
Directors who are employees of IAMI / ITPL are covered under this policy.

Submitting a Request to Trade
An Employee must receive prior approval using
the Star Compliance system in order to engage in a personal securities transaction in a Covered Security.
Further, at the time of signing the pre-clearance
request, Employee shall execute an undertaking to the effect that he does not have access or has not received any “Price Sensitive
Information”.
If an employee has access to or receives “Price
Sensitive Information” after the pre-clearance request is approved but before execution of the transaction, the employee shall inform
the Compliance of change in his or her position and he/she would completely refrain from dealing in securities till the time such information
becomes public.
Pre-clearance request(s) submitted by the
Mumbai Head of Compliance for purchase or sale of securities must be reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer in addition
to normal due diligence by IVZ Global COE Team. Research Analysts preparing research reports of companies shall not trade in securities
of that company for 30 calendar days from the date of preparation of such reports. However, if such securities are held by any Scheme
of the Mutual Fund/Portfolio Management Services (PMS), then request for trading will be cleared only if there is a cooling off period
of 30 calendar days from the preparation of such reports or 15 calendar days from the date the last transaction in that particular security
by the Mutual Fund/PMS, whichever is later.
Pre-clearance approval will not be given if approval
of the transaction would result in a violation of any of the restrictions on personal trading outlined in this policy.
This Policy is for Invesco internal use only unless otherwise specified. No portion of this Policy may be reproduced or redistributed
other than by Invesco for education purposes of internal employees or for client due diligence.
Blackout Rule:
The Company does not permit Employees to trade
in a Covered Security if there is conflicting activity in a client account.
|
⮚ |
if the stock, shares, debentures, bonds, or warrants of any company, or derivatives specified by the employee or an equivalent security are held by any scheme of the client account/PMS; |
|
⮚ |
if the stock, shares, debentures, bonds, or warrants of any company, or derivatives specified by the employee or an equivalent security are held by any scheme of the client account/PMS, then there should be cooling period of 15 calendar days. In other words, an application for purchase/sale would be cleared only if the scheme(s) of a client account / PMS has not transacted in that particular security within 15 calendar days before the date of application; or |
|
⮚ |
if there is a client order on the stock, shares, debentures, bonds, or warrants of any company, or derivatives specified by the employee or an equivalent security with the trading desk. |
In addition to the blackout rule of 15 days
after the trade in client account/PMS in that security or an equivalent security, investment personnel may not buy or sell a Covered Security
within three trading days before a Client trades in that security or an equivalent security.
For the purposes of this policy, an equivalent
security means a security that (1) is convertible into another security of the same issuer or (2) gives its holder the right
to purchase another security of the same issuer. For example, a bond or preferred stock may be convertible into another security of the
same issuer, or an option or warrant may give the holder the right to purchase stock of the same issuer. ADR and EDR shares are considered
equivalent to their corresponding foreign shares.
Further, there is a cooling period of 60 calendar
days between the last transactions in the same security by all Employees (except Designated Persons as addressed below) i.e. in case of
request to sell, there are no purchases within 60 calendar days of the request and in case of request to buy, there is no sale transaction
within 60 calendar days of the request. The holding period will be counted on last in first out basis.
Designated Persons are required to hold Covered
Securities (except Mutual Funds units) for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of purchase / allotment. The holding period will
be counted on last in first out basis. Designated Persons permitted to trade may not execute a contra trade within a period of 6 months.
If a Designated Person executes a contra trade i.e. sale of security within six months of last purchase, inadvertently or otherwise, any
profit from the trade shall be liable to be disgorged for remittance to SEBI for credit to the Investor Protection and Education Fund.
Further, a notional trading window will be used
as an instrument of monitoring trading by the Designated Persons. The time for commencement of the trading window and re-opening of the
trading window shall be decided by compliance. When the trading window is closed, Designated Persons and their family members sharing
the same household shall not trade in the security in Covered Accounts.
This Policy is for Invesco internal use only unless otherwise specified. No portion of this Policy may be reproduced or redistributed
other than by Invesco for education purposes of internal employees or for client due diligence.
In the case of ESOPs held by family members sharing
the same household of Designated Persons, exercise of ESOP may be allowed in the period when the trading window is closed. However, sale
of shares allotted on exercise of ESOP shall not be allowed when trading window is closed.
Compliance will review transactions of the Employees
in Covered Accounts and transactions of the Client accounts to ensure that there is no conflict of interest – whether the Client
has transacted the same securities either before or after the Employee’s transactions.
Provisions of the “cooling off” period
may be relaxed subject to the following:
|
(a) |
Such relaxation shall be given by Compliance Officer for not more than 2 times in a financial year per employee. |
|
(b) |
Such relaxation shall be applicable only for sale of securities which are held at least for a year. |
|
(d) |
The request can be submitted anytime during the financial year to the Compliance Officer. Compliance Officer shall decide on the said request within 5 days of receipt. |
|
(e) |
The approval is valid for 10 trading days and roll over of unexecuted portion, if any, shall not be allowed. However, a second request can be made within the financial year as stated at (a) above. |
|
(f) |
The employee shall ensure that from the time of making an application under clause (d) till the conclusion of the sale of the concerned securities, he/she is not in possession of / does not have access to any non-public information which could materially impact the price of the concerned securities. Compliance Officer will not grant clearance for such transaction, where the Asset Management Company is in possession of / has access to any non-public information which could materially impact the price of the concerned securities. |
In case of pre-existing pledges / encumbered arrangements
(i.e., securities pledged), the provisions of “cooling off” will not be applicable and in the event of sale of securities
by lenders due to shortfall of margin, subject to the following are as follows:
|
a) |
The employee, on December 1, 2021 or on the date of joining the AMC declare to the Compliance Officer (i) details of all the pre-existing pledges / encumbered arrangements in which the securities held by him/her are pledged or encumbered and (ii) details of ESOPs bought with borrowed funds, along with the agreement with such lender. |
|
b) |
Any instances of sale of securities by lender shall be promptly intimated to the Compliance Officer. The employee shall ensure the following and submit a self- declaration to the following effect. |
- that the employee has not engaged
directly or indirectly in front-running, self- dealing, trading while in possession of non-public information which could materially impact
the price of the concerned securities or any other prohibited activities.
This Policy is for Invesco internal use only unless otherwise specified. No portion of this Policy may be reproduced or redistributed
other than by Invesco for education purposes of internal employees or for client due diligence.
- that the sale by the lender was due
to shortfall of margin as per the terms of agreement with the lender and he had not entered into any other arrangement with the lender
in this regard.
|
c) |
The employee shall also submit the margin notice received for the said shortfall of margin to the compliance officer. |
Options Trading
In the case of personal securities transactions
involving the purchase or sale of an option on an equity security, Compliance will determine whether to authorize the transaction by matching
the pre-clearance request against activity in client accounts in both the option and the underlying security. Pre-clearance approval will
not be given, if there has been a client account transaction in either the option or the underlying security within the corresponding
Blackout Rule period of the proposed personal securities transaction. Pre-clearance is required for both the opening and closing
transaction. Approval given to an opening transaction does not guarantee that the closing transaction will automatically be approved.

Any exception to this rule must be approved
by Compliance and the appropriate Invesco Chief Compliance Officer, Head of Compliance, or designate.

shall ensure that they take delivery of the securities purchased, before selling them.
All approved trades that are not executed need

Employees may be requested to reverse any trades
processed without the required pre-approval. Any costs or losses associated with the reversal are the responsibility of the Employee.
Compliance shall maintain a record of all requests
for pre-clearance regarding the purchase or sale of a security, including the date of the request, the name of the employee, the details
of the proposed transaction and whether the request was approved or denied and waivers given, if any, and its reasons.
This Policy is for Invesco internal use only unless otherwise specified. No portion of this Policy may be reproduced or redistributed
other than by Invesco for education purposes of internal employees or for client due diligence.
| 8. | Relating to Transactions in Mutual Funds |
Employees shall not purchase or sell/tender for
repurchase/redemption units of any scheme, including overnight schemes of where any information available to the Mutual Fund is not yet
communicated to the unitholders and which could materially impact the NAV or interest of unitholders, including scenarios where there
is a likelihood of:
|
a. |
a change in the investment objectives of the Mutual Fund Scheme(s); |
|
b. |
a change in the accounting policy; |
|
c. |
a material change in the valuation of any asset, or class of assets; |
|
d. |

g. |
material change in the liquidity position of the concerned Mutual Fund Scheme(s); |

| 9. | Discretionary Managed Accounts |
In order to establish a Discretionary Managed
Account, you must grant the manager complete investment discretion over your account. Pre-clearance is not required for trades in this
account; however, you may not participate, directly or indirectly, in individual investment decisions or be aware of such decisions before
transactions are executed. This restriction does not preclude you from establishing investment guidelines for the manager, such as indicating
industries in which you desire to invest, the types of securities you want to purchase or your overall investment objectives. However,
those guidelines may not be changed so frequently as to give the appearance that you are actually directing account investments. Employees
must receive approval from compliance to establish and maintain such an account and must provide written evidence that complete investment
discretion over the account has been turned over to a professional money manager or other third party. Employees are not required
to pre-clear or list transactions for such managed accounts in the automated review system; however, Employees with these types of accounts
must provide an annual certification that they do not exercise direct or indirect control over the managed accounts.
Transactions executed in a managed account are
not subject to pre-clearance nor are they reportable in any Quarterly Transaction Reports; however, an Employee must provide an annual
certification certifying the account is still a discretionary managed account. Compliance approval is required to establish a managed
account with a firm that is not one of the approved broker-dealers. Each discretionary account must be a separate account and cannot be
combined with other accounts.
Note: SEBI vide its circular March 4,
2021 has clarified that the employees of AMC and Trustees may avail discretionary Portfolio Management Services (PMS) subject to compliance
with all applicable SEBI Regulations and circulars. In this respect, AMFI will issue necessary guidelines including adequate safeguards
in consultation with SEBI. Such guidelines will then prevail, and the policy will be amended accordingly to incorporate the said guidelines
for allowing discretionary PMS.
This Policy is for Invesco internal use only unless otherwise specified. No portion of this Policy may be reproduced or redistributed
other than by Invesco for education purposes of internal employees or for client due diligence.

permissible.

number of transactions, if the relevant Head of Department feels that undertaking such transactions reduces their contribution to the
work of their department and/or affects their duties to the Company or its clients.
|
· |
Research Recommendations and Dealing in Securities |
If an employee knows that any entity intends to
publish a research recommendation, or a piece of research or analysis or other information, on a security which could reasonably be expected
to affect the price of that security, or a related investment (e.g. options or warrants in that security), they must not deal in such
investments or securities until the recommendation or research has been published and the information made public.
Notwithstanding
this Policy, the Company reserves the right to restrict any employee from dealings in securities without assigning any reason where the
Company believes that such restriction is necessary in the interest of the Company or in order to prevent possible conflicts of interests.
Dealing
through a nominee or any other person or firm, trust or body corporate which is not disclosed to the Company and for which no authorization
has been obtained is expressly prohibited. Violation of this provision would be a breach of your terms of employment and could result
in your dismissal.
