O-GBL-SUMSTATSAI-SUP
Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information Supplement dated June 29, 2020
The
purpose of this supplement is to provide you notice of changes to the current Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) of Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund. You
should read this supplement carefully in conjunction with the Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI and retain it for future reference.
On June 3, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the
“Board”) of AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt Funds) (the “Trust”) approved changes to the name, investment objective and principal investment strategies of Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund (the “Fund”)
in connection with repositioning the Fund as an environmentally-focused municipal fund. Shareholders of the Fund should be aware that, in connection with the Fund’s repositioning, the changes outlined below will be effectuated and the Fund
will implement an investment strategy that incorporates environmental criteria. This supplement describes these changes and the corresponding additional risks, including the risks related to the Fund’s environmental focus.
Due to the repositioning, the Fund may experience a higher
than normal portfolio turnover rate, which may result in increased transaction costs and increased capital gain distributions to shareholders.
Accordingly, effective on or about September 4, 2020, the
Fund’s Summary and Statutory Prospectuses and SAI will be revised to reflect the following:
1.
|
The Fund will be renamed
“Invesco Environmental Focus Municipal Fund.”
|
2.
|
The Fund’s investment
objective will be changed from “seek tax-free income” to “seeks to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital.”
|
3.
|
The
following or similar information regarding the Fund’s new strategy to incorporate environmental criteria will replace in its entirety similar information appearing in the strategies sections of the Fund’s Summary and Statutory
Prospectuses:
|
“Under normal
market conditions, and as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt
from regular federal individual income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the
80% investment requirement. Under normal market conditions, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in investment grade municipal
securities. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of states,
territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax at the time of issuance, in the opinion of bond
counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The Adviser seeks to focus the Fund’s investments in
municipal securities issued by issuers involved in projects or technologies with high potential positive environmental impact as determined by the Adviser using its proprietary evaluation system in areas such as land, water and energy conservation.
Such investments may include, but are not limited to, investments in projects or technologies intended to minimize anthropogenic impacts on climate, such as those relating to energy efficiency, mass transit, carbon capture technologies and renewable
energy (including solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower), as well as investments in issuers with positive environmental performance records based on metrics determined by the Adviser. Further, the Adviser seeks to exclude investments where tax and
other related
revenue from a security’s issuer is derived from the leasing of
extractive rights, such as fossil fuel reserves and also excludes securities from other sectors that do not meet the Fund’s environmental criteria.
The principal types of municipal debt securities purchased by
the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes,
variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in municipal
securities classified as revenue bonds.
Under normal
market conditions, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities below investment grade. These types of securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any
limit on the percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its assets
in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax-exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments
consistent with the Fund’s 80% fundamental policy.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets in a
segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund may
not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to resale
restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and
payment-in-kind securities.
The Fund may purchase and
sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that a Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate municipal
obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments, including
futures contracts and swap contracts.
The Fund can use
futures contracts, including Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate
swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The
Adviser actively manages the Fund’s portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those
securities that it believes entail reasonable credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies.
In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its
extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. In addition, the Adviser uses a proprietary
environmental focus scoring system to evaluate securities based on pre-determined environmental focus and sustainability factors to determine suitability for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio. These factors include, but are not limited to, the
issuer’s stated mission with respect to positive environmental outcomes or its stated environmental impact plan, whether an issuer has engaged in any policies or activities evidencing a significant negative environmental impact, whether
proceeds raised through the issuance of a security will be used toward achieving a positive environmental outcome, and whether proceeds will be raised through revenues related to extractive industries (such as fuel surcharges). Each security
considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents. The Adviser generally excludes investments where tax and other related revenue from a
security’s issuer is derived from the leasing of extractive rights,
such as fossil fuel reserves, and investments from certain sectors that do not meet the Fund’s environmental criteria, from the list of eligible Fund investments.
Once eligible investments are identified, decisions to
purchase or sell securities are determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, potential for positive environmental impact and environmental focus risks, market
supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector
exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality or potential for positive environmental impact, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential
for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to
purchase or sell securities.”
4.
|
The risk sections of the
Fund's Summary and Statutory Prospectuses will be updated to emphasize certain risks related to the new strategy, including those related to the Fund’s environmental focus as described below, and to remove certain risks that correspond with
changes to the Fund's principal investment strategies, including, but not limited to, ”Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds,” “Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds” and “Risks of Borrowing and Leverage.”
|
Environmental Focus Criteria Risk. Because the Fund evaluates environmental focus factors to assess and exclude certain investments for non-financial reasons, it may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these factors. The
securities of companies that score favorably under the Fund's environmental focus scoring methodology may underperform similar companies that do not score as well or may underperform the stock market as a whole. As a result, the Fund may
underperform funds that do not screen or score companies based on environmental focus factors or funds that use a different environmental focus scoring methodology. Information used by the Fund to evaluate such factors may not be readily available,
complete or accurate, which could negatively impact the Fund's ability to apply its methodology, which in turn could negatively impact the Fund's performance. In addition, the Fund's assessment of a company, based on the company's level of
involvement in a particular industry or the company's environmental focus score, may differ from that of other funds or an investor. As a result, the companies deemed eligible for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio may not reflect the beliefs or
values of any particular investor and may not be deemed to exhibit positive or favorable environmental focus characteristics if different metrics were used to evaluate them.
5.
|
The portfolio managers for
the Fund will be Mark Paris, Tim Benzel, Eddie Bernhardt, Tim O’Reilly, Galen True and Julius Williams.
|
6.
|
The Fund
will change its broad-based index from the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index to the S&P Municipal Bond Index, the style-specific index from the U.S Consumer Price Index to the S&P Municipal Bond 5+ Year Investment Grade Index, and the
Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds Index will be added as the Fund’s peer group benchmark.
|
A revised Summary Prospectus, Statutory Prospectus and SAI
that reflect these changes will be available once the repositioning is effective.

As with all other
mutual fund securities, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted
by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund's shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial
intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive
shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial
intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you are a direct investor, by enrolling at invesco.com/edelivery.
You may elect to receive all future reports
in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can call
(800) 959-4246 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund
complex if you invest directly with the Fund.
An investment in the Fund:
■
|
is not FDIC insured;
|
■
|
may lose value; and
|
■
|
is not guaranteed by
a bank.

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 10% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its
net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a
majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion
of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities,
municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in
municipal securities classified as revenue bonds.
Invesco Advisers,
Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) generally seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 75% of its net assets in higher yielding municipal securities, specifically medium- and lower-grade municipal securities. Investment
grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating
organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities
are securities rated by S&P or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch) as BBB+ through D (inclusive) for bonds or SP-2 or lower for notes; by Moody’s as Baa1 through D (inclusive) for bonds or MIG3 or VMIG3 or lower for notes; or unrated municipal securities
determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest rating assigned. Medium- and lower-grade securities are, therefore,
inclusive of some securities rated investment grade. Most of the municipal securities in which the Fund currently invests are rated “below investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Below investment-grade” securities are
those rated below the four highest rating categories of S&P,
1
Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund
Moody's, Fitch or another NRSRO (or,
in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated below investment-grade). Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as junk bonds.
At times, the market conditions in the municipal
securities markets may be such that the Adviser may invest in higher-grade issues, particularly when the difference in returns between quality classifications is very narrow or when the Adviser expects interest rates to increase. Higher-grade
securities are securities that are rated higher than medium- or lower-grade securities by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch, or considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, including municipal securities rated A-, SP-1 or higher by S&P
or rated A3, MIG2, VMIG2 or higher by Moody’s and tax-exempt commercial paper rated A-3 or higher by S&P or rated P-3 or higher by Moody’s or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund
may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund has no policy limiting its investments in
municipal securities whose issuers are located in the same state. However, it is not the present intention of the Fund to invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets in issuers located in the same state.
The Fund may from time to time invest temporarily up
to 20% of its net assets in taxable securities of at least comparable quality to the municipal securities in which the Fund invests. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in municipal
securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal
securities.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of
its net assets in illiquid or thinly traded investments. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments,
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including
Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest
rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser buys and sells securities for the
Fund’s portfolio with a view towards seeking a high level of interest income exempt from federal income tax and selects securities that the Adviser believes entail reasonable credit risk considered in relation to the investment policies of the
Fund. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the highest yielding municipal securities permitted by its investment policies if the Adviser determines that market risks or credit risks associated with such investments would subject the
Fund’s portfolio to undue risk.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a
need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular
security or issuer, degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration
and frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
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:
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. All or a portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. 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 shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.
Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of
existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by
the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in
debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the
credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
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
2
Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund
price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions,
during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain
derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse
market conditions.
High Yield Debt Securities
(Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be
speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities
tend to be very volatile.
Inverse
Floating Rate Obligations Risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a
similar maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse
floater, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its
investment.
Liquidity Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market
stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of
medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade
securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as
many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of
limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income
tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when
delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities
that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest
rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table
provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund and Van Kampen High Yield Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) from year to year as of December 31. The performance table
compares the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar
to those of the Fund (in that order). The Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
The returns shown prior to June 1, 2010 are those of
the Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. The predecessor fund was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management. Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares,
respectively, of the Fund on June 1, 2010. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Predecessor fund performance for Class A shares has
been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.

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 and Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of
a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions
that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you
purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial
intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek federal tax-exempt
current income and taxable capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing
4
Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund
sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed
without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act. In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic
characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion
of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. Revenue obligations are usually payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise
tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Revenue obligations may include industrial development, pollution control, public utility, housing, and health care issues. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests
primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds. General obligation securities are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. To meet its investment objective,
the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation
certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities.
The Adviser
generally seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 75% of its net assets in higher yielding municipal securities, specifically medium- and lower-grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities are:
(i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the
Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities are securities rated by S&P or Fitch, Inc. (Fitch) as BBB+ through D (inclusive) for bonds or SP-2 or lower for notes; by
Moody’s as Baa1 through D (inclusive) for bonds or MIG3 or VMIG3 or lower for notes; or unrated municipal securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned
different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest rating assigned. Medium- and lower-grade securities are, therefore, inclusive of some securities rated investment grade. Most of the municipal securities in which the Fund currently
invests are rated “below investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Below investment-grade” securities are those rated below the four highest rating categories of S&P, Moody's, Fitch or another NRSRO (or, in the case of
unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated below investment-grade). Securities rated below investment grade are commonly referred to as junk bonds.
At times, the market conditions in the municipal
securities markets may be such that the Adviser may invest in higher-grade issues, particularly when the difference in returns between quality classifications is very narrow or when the Adviser expects interest rates to increase. Higher-grade
securities are securities that are rated higher than medium- or lower-grade securities by Moody’s, S&P, or Fitch, or considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, including municipal securities rated A-, SP-1 or higher by S&P
or rated A3, MIG2, VMIG2 or higher by Moody’s and tax-exempt commercial paper rated A-3 or higher by S&P or rated P-3 or higher by Moody’s or unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The
Fund
may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial
development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund has no policy limiting its investments in
municipal securities whose issuers are located in the same state. However, it is not the present intention of the Fund to invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets in issuers located in the same state.
The Fund may from time to time invest temporarily up
to 20% of its net assets in taxable securities of at least comparable quality to the municipal securities in which the Fund invests. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in municipal
securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as investments in municipal
securities.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of
its net assets in illiquid or thinly traded investments. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The
Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic
payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest. Payment-in-kind securities are debt securities that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time the Fund enters into the commitment.
No income accrues on such securities until the date a Fund actually takes delivery of the securities.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage. Inverse floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing
interest rates. Inverse floating rate obligations in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds, tender option bonds or municipal bond trust certificates. Such instruments are typically created by a
special purpose trust (the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are contributed by the Fund (the underlying security), and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to or held by
third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. Because the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined
amount, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase as such variable or floating rate decreases.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments,
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
A futures contract is a standardized agreement
between two parties to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset.
Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract,
physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
A swap contract is an agreement between two parties
pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The
notional amount of a swap is based on the nominal or face
5
Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund
amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on
that swap; the notional amount typically is not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap
contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser buys and sells securities for the
Fund’s portfolio with a view towards seeking a high level of interest income exempt from federal income tax and selects securities that the Adviser believes entail reasonable credit risk considered in relation to the investment policies of the
Fund. As a result, the Fund will not necessarily invest in the highest yielding municipal securities permitted by its investment policies if the Adviser determines that market risks or credit risks associated with such investments would subject the
Fund’s portfolio to undue risk.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an
issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover
generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
In anticipation of or in response to market,
economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s
performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in the types of
securities and other investments described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in
securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For more information, see “Description of the
Funds and Their Investments and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a portion of its total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income
dealer market-making capacity may persist in the future, potentially leading 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. In addition,
because of changing central bank policies, the Fund may experience higher than normal shareholder redemptions which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Debt Securities
Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically
causes
the value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater
impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates
may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its
obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of
principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The
Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
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. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile
and increase the risk of loss. The Fund segregates or earmarks liquid assets with a value at least equal to the amount that the Fund owes the derivative counterparty each day, if any, or otherwise holds instruments that offset the Fund’s daily
obligation under the derivatives instrument. This process is sometimes referred to as “cover.” The amount of liquid assets needed as cover will fluctuate over time as the value of the derivative instrument rises and falls. If the value
of the Fund’s derivative positions or the value of the assets used as cover unexpectedly decreases, the Fund may be forced to segregate additional liquid assets as cover or sell assets at a disadvantageous time or price to meet its derivative
obligations or to meet redemption requests, which could affect management of the Fund and the Fund’s returns. 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 or cover. 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 have attempted to 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.
|
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.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations Risk. Inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) represent interests in bonds with interest rates that vary inversely to changes in short-term rates. As short-term rates rise, inverse floaters produce less income,
and as short-term rates decline, inverse floaters produce more income. As a result, the price of inverse floaters is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity.
The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. Interest rate risk and price volatility of inverse floaters can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the
interest payable by the inverse floater. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. The Fund generally invests in inverse floaters that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks
and increased costs. The market value of a
“leveraged” inverse floater will fluctuate in response to
changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment, and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
adverse market conditions. The use of short-term floating rate obligations may require the Fund to segregate or earmark cash or liquid assets to cover its obligations. Securities so segregated or earmarked will be unavailable for sale by the Fund
(unless replaced by other securities qualifying for segregation requirements), which may limit the Fund’s flexibility and may require that the Fund sell other portfolio investments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to sell such assets.
Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, the special purpose trust that created the inverse floater may be collapsed and the underlying security liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and
may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate interests. Recent regulatory changes have
prompted changes to the structure of tender option bonds. The Fund’s enhanced role under the revised structure may increase the Fund’s operational and regulatory risk.
Liquidity Risk. The
Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the
investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. Certain restricted securities require special registration and pose valuation difficulties. Liquid securities can become illiquid during
periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also
impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general
downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Securities which are in the medium- and lower-grade categories generally offer higher yields
7
Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund
than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity, but
they also generally involve more volatility and greater risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and management risk. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to
their obligations by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities as compared with an investment company that invests solely in higher-grade
securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less able to be sold at a desirable time or price. These factors may limit the ability of the Fund to sell
such securities at their fair value either to meet redemption requests or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. From time to time, the Fund’s investments may include securities that alone or together with securities held by other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser, represents a
major portion or all of an issue of municipal securities. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments and, in some cases, there may be contractual restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to sell
such securities at a desirable time or price.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to
downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular
project or entity for which the bonds were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which
could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely
affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, and a portfolio could suffer a loss if the issuer defaults during periods in
which a portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on
securities when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may
result in the Fund missing the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a
later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase prior to
the time delivery of the securities is made, although the Fund may
earn income on securities it has set aside to cover these positions.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest
payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit
ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to
maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk
associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments
about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser
manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The
Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator
Definition
With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an
exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as
a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the
maximum 4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the
prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of
this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains
(net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic
volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a current
year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco High Yield Municipal 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;
|
■
|
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.

Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. Please
consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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):
■
|
Class A 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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund
■
|
Investors who

|
■
|
Any investor
purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary
will make Class A shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.

In addition, investors may acquire Class A

■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and
|
■
|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Waivers Available Through Certain Financial
Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The financial intermediary-specific waivers,
discounts, policies regarding exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, and minimum account balances that follow are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below. Please contact your financial
intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements.
Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. Please contact your financial intermediary
for more information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for such
arrangements. The terms and availability of these waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time.

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.

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

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■

The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder
Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most
shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of
these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual
copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining Additional Information
More information may be obtained free
of charge upon request. The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of the 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.

with all other mutual fund securities, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted
by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund's shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial
intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund's website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive
shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial
intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you are a direct investor, by enrolling at invesco.com/edelivery.
You may elect to receive all future reports
in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can call
(800) 959-4246 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund
complex if you invest directly with the Fund.

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 11% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its
net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a
majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Under normal
market conditions, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 65% of the Fund’s net assets in investment grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities
are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization
(NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a
security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion
of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities,
municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in
municipal securities classified as revenue bonds.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest
up to 35% of its net assets in municipal securities rated below investment grade and unrated municipal securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. These types of securities are commonly referred to as
junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment
1
Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment.
The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of
its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as
investments in municipal securities.
The Fund
has no policy limiting its investments in municipal securities whose issuers are located in the same state. However, it is not the present intention of the Fund to invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets in issuers located in the same
state.
The Fund may invest in securities that
are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon
securities and payment-in-kind securities.
The
Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including
Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest
rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s
portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including
general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
In pursuing its
investment objective, the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity, but seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of three to 10 years. In certain market conditions, however, such a portfolio may be less
attractive because of differences in yield between municipal securities of different maturities due to supply and demand forces, monetary and tax policies and investor expectations. In the event of sustained market conditions that make it less
desirable to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio life of three to 10 years, the Adviser may change the investment policy of the Fund with respect to the dollar-weighted average life of the portfolio if approved by the Board.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities
are determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of
securities may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer,
degradation of an issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of
portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
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:
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. All or a portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. 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 shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.
Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of
existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by
the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in
debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the
credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
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
2
Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected
benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to
the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very
volatile.
Inverse Floating Rate
Obligations Risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar
maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater,
which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment.
Liquidity Risk. The
Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of
the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of
medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade
securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or
regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience
a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income
tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when
delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities
that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest
rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table
provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund and Van Kampen Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (the predecessor fund) from year to year as of December 31. The performance
table compares the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies
similar to those of the Fund (in that order). The Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
The returns shown prior to June 1, 2010 are those of
the Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. The predecessor fund was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management. Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares,
respectively, of the Fund on June 1, 2010. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Predecessor fund performance for Class A shares has
been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
Updated performance information is available on the

With respect to Class R6
shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other institutional investors purchasing
Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies
which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions
that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you
purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial
intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a
high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed
4
Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s
outstanding voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act. In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments
that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Under normal
market conditions, the Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 65% of the Fund’s net assets in investment grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB-
or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality,
each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion
of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. Revenue obligations are usually payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise
tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Revenue obligations may include industrial development, pollution control, public utility, housing, and health care issues. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests
primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. To meet its investment objective, the Fund
invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may
invest in these and other types of municipal securities.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest
up to 35% of its net assets in municipal securities rated below investment grade and unrated municipal securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. These types of securities are commonly referred to as
junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund
may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of
its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as
investments in municipal securities.
The Fund
has no policy limiting its investments in municipal securities whose issuers are located in the same state. However, it is not the present intention of the Fund to invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets in issuers located in the same
state.
The Fund may invest in securities that
are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon
securities and payment-in-kind securities. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest.
Payment-in-kind securities are debt securities that pay interest
through the issuance of additional securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time the Fund enters into the
commitment. No income accrues on such securities until the date the Fund actually takes delivery of the securities.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage. Inverse floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing
interest rates. Inverse floating rate obligations in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds, tender option bonds or municipal bond trust certificates. Such instruments are typically created by a
special purpose trust (the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are contributed by the Fund (the underlying security), and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to or held by
third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. Because the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined
amount, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase as such variable or floating rate decreases.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
A futures contract is a standardized agreement
between two parties to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset.
Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract,
physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
A swap contract is an agreement between two parties
pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The
notional amount of a swap is based on the nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations
in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s
portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including
general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
In pursuing its
investment objective, the Fund may invest in securities of any maturity, but seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of three to 10 years. In certain market conditions, however, such a portfolio may be less
attractive because of differences in yield between municipal securities of different maturities due to supply and
5
Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
demand forces, monetary and tax policies and investor expectations. In
the event of sustained market conditions that make it less desirable to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio life of three to 10 years, the Adviser may change the investment policy of the Fund with respect to the dollar-weighted average
life of the portfolio if approved by the Board.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an
issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover
generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
In anticipation of or in response to market,
economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s
performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in the types of
securities and other investments described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in
securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For more information, see “Description of the
Funds and Their Investments and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a portion of its total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income
dealer market-making capacity may persist in the future, potentially leading 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. In addition,
because of changing central bank policies, the Fund may experience higher than normal shareholder redemptions which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Debt Securities
Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the
value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on
investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an issuer seeks to restructure the
terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to seek recovery upon
a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of the issuer or the
security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price
decline or other credit event.
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. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile
and increase the risk of loss. The Fund segregates or earmarks liquid assets with a value at least equal to the amount that the Fund owes the derivative counterparty each day, if any, or otherwise holds instruments that offset the Fund’s daily
obligation under the derivatives instrument. This process is sometimes referred to as “cover.” The amount of liquid assets needed as cover will fluctuate over time as the value of the derivative instrument rises and falls. If the value
of the Fund’s derivative positions or the value of the assets used as cover unexpectedly decreases, the Fund may be forced to segregate additional liquid assets as cover or sell assets at a disadvantageous time or price to meet its derivative
obligations or to meet redemption requests, which could affect management of the Fund and the Fund’s returns. 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
|
6
Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
|
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 or cover. 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 have attempted to 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.
|
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.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations Risk. Inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) represent interests in bonds with interest rates that vary inversely to changes in short-term rates. As short-term rates rise, inverse floaters produce less income,
and as short-term rates decline, inverse floaters produce more income. As a result, the price of inverse floaters is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity.
The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. Interest rate risk and price volatility of inverse floaters can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the
interest payable by the inverse floater. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss, and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage are more likely to be
eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, the special purpose trust that created the inverse floater may be collapsed and the underlying security liquidated, and the Fund could lose the
entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the principal amount of the short-term
floating rate interests. Recent regulatory changes have prompted changes to the structure of tender option bonds. The Fund’s enhanced role under the revised structure may increase the Fund’s operational and regulatory risk.
Liquidity Risk. The
Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the
investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. Certain restricted securities require special registration and pose valuation difficulties. Liquid securities can become illiquid during
periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also
impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general
downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Securities which are in the medium- and lower-grade categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity, but they also generally involve more volatility and greater
risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and management risk. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities as compared with an investment company that invests solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as
many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less able to be sold at a desirable time or price. These factors may limit the ability of the Fund to sell such securities at their fair value either to meet redemption
requests or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across
7
Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
issuers that did not have similar characteristics. From time to time,
the Fund’s investments may include securities that alone or together with securities held by other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser, represents a major portion or all of an issue of municipal securities. Because there may be relatively
few potential purchasers for such investments and, in some cases, there may be contractual restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to sell such securities at a desirable time or price.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to
downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular
project or entity for which the bonds were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which
could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely
affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, and a portfolio could suffer a loss if the issuer defaults during periods in
which a portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on
securities when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may
result in the Fund missing the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a
later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase prior to the time delivery of the
securities is made, although the Fund may earn income on securities it has set aside to cover these positions.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest
payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit
ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to
maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk
associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments
about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated
collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing
in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser
manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The
Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator
Definition
With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an
exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as
a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
During the fiscal year ended February
28, 2020, the Adviser received compensation of 0.46% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent semi-annual report to shareholders for the six-month period ended August 31.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the
maximum 2.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category IV Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus.
Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a CDSC. For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a
time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce
or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even
though the Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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.
|
■
|

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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):
■
|
Class A 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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund
■

Investors who

exchange for servicing that account.

|
Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates:
|
■

least $1 million; or
|

employees eligible to participate in the plan; or

that execute plan
level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
|
■

Any investor who
purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee,
custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.

Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor Class Shares were first purchased.
|

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

|
Former shareholders
of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
■

In addition, investors may acquire Class A
shares without paying an initial sales charge in connection with:
■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and
|
■
|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

discounts available at Edward Jones: Breakpoints, Rights of Accumulation & Letters of Intent
|
■
|
Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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

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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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 or terminate
any sales charge waivers or exceptions.

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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.

“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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.

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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s
portfolio turnover rate was 26% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal debt securities that (1) pay interest that is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (2) do not produce income that will be considered to be an item
of preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments
that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
At least 80% of
the Fund’s net assets will normally be invested in investment grade municipal debt securities. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by
Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned. At the present time, the
Fund will not invest in municipal debt securities if the interest on such securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion
of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities,
municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may also invest in other types of municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in
municipal securities classified as revenue bonds.
Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be
invested in municipal debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality. These types of securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the
percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser
1
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular
segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded
investments. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that
do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including
Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest
rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s
portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including
general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
The Fund will
attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of five years or less.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an
issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover
generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
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:
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. 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 shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.
Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of
existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by
the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in
debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the
credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Derivatives Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to
the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its
obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the
derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset,
which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a
desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to
changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to
the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very
volatile.
Inverse Floating Rate
Obligations Risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar
maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater,
which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in excess of its investment.
Liquidity Risk. The
Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in
2
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods
of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of
medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade
securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income
tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less
than the purchase price or yield generally available when delivery
occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it
does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest
rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table
provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based securities
market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund (in that order). The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not
necessarily an indication of its future performance.

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 and Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of
a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions that are taxable to you as ordinary
income or capital gains.
Payments to
Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a
broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of
interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website
for more information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is federal tax-exempt current
income. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at
least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal debt securities that (1) pay interest that is excluded from gross income for federal
4
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
income tax purposes, and (2) do not produce income that will be
considered to be an item of preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the
Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
At least 80% of
the Fund’s net assets will normally be invested in investment grade municipal debt securities. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by
another NRSRO, (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings
to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned. At the present time, the Fund will not invest in municipal debt securities if the interest on such securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax, at the time of issuance, in the opinion
of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. Revenue obligation securities are usually payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a
special excise tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Revenue obligation securities may include industrial development, pollution control, public utility, housing, and health care issues. Under normal market
conditions, the Fund invests primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds. General obligation securities are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. To
meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial
receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may also invest in other types of municipal securities.
Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be
invested in municipal debt securities that are determined to be below investment grade quality. These types of securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the
percentage of its portfolio that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund
may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest in illiquid or thinly traded
investments. The Fund may also invest in securities that are subject to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that
do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities and payment-in-kind securities. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date
when the securities begin paying current interest. Payment-in-kind securities are debt securities that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that the Fund may buy or sell a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time the Fund enters into the
commitment. No income accrues on such securities until the date the Fund actually takes delivery of the securities.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage. Inverse floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing
interest rates. Inverse floating rate obligations in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds, tender option bonds or municipal bond trust certificates. Such instruments are typically created by a
special purpose trust (the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are contributed by the Fund (the underlying security), and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are sold to or held by
third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. Because the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined
amount, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase as such variable or floating rate decreases.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
A futures contract is a standardized agreement
between two parties to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset.
Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract,
physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
A swap contract is an agreement between two parties
pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The
notional amount of a swap is based on the nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations
in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s
portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including
general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
The Fund will
attempt to maintain a dollar-weighted average effective portfolio maturity of five years or less.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an
issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and
5
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting
factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
In anticipation of or in response to market,
economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s
performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in the types of
securities and other investments described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in
securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For more information, see “Description of the
Funds and Their Investments and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income
dealer market-making capacity may persist in the future, potentially leading 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. In addition,
because of changing central bank policies, the Fund may experience higher than normal shareholder redemptions which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Debt Securities
Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the
value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on
investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to
seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of
the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in
advance of a price decline or other credit event.
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. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile
and increase the risk of loss. The Fund segregates or earmarks liquid assets with a value at least equal to the amount that the Fund owes the derivative counterparty each day, if any, or otherwise holds instruments that offset the Fund’s daily
obligation under the derivatives instrument. This process is sometimes referred to as “cover.” The amount of liquid assets needed as cover will fluctuate over time as the value of the derivative instrument rises and falls. If the value
of the Fund’s derivative positions or the value of the assets used as cover unexpectedly decreases, the Fund may be forced to segregate additional liquid assets as cover or sell assets at a disadvantageous time or price to meet its derivative
obligations or to meet redemption requests, which could affect management of the Fund and the Fund’s returns. 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 or cover. 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 have attempted to 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
|
6
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
|
to a particular
market or market segment, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended
benefits. There is also the risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of
the Fund as a regulated investment company.
|
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are
considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic, regulatory, political or company developments than
higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be difficult to sell at a desirable time or price,
particularly in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations Risk. Inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) represent interests in bonds with interest rates that vary inversely to changes in short-term rates. As short-term rates rise, inverse floaters produce less income,
and as short-term rates decline, inverse floaters produce more income. As a result, the price of inverse floaters is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity.
The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. Interest rate risk and price volatility of inverse floaters can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the
interest payable by the inverse floater. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss, and the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage are more likely to be
eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, the special purpose trust that created the inverse floater may be collapsed and the underlying security liquidated, and the Fund could lose the
entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the principal amount of the short-term
floating rate interests. Recent regulatory changes have prompted changes to the structure of tender option bonds. The Fund’s enhanced role under the revised structure may increase the Fund’s operational and regulatory risk.
Liquidity Risk. The
Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to a lack of trading volume in the investment or if the
investment is privately placed and not traded in any public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. Certain restricted securities require special registration and pose valuation difficulties. Liquid securities can become illiquid during
periods of market stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also
impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general
downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Securities which are in the medium- and lower-grade categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity, but they also generally involve more volatility and greater
risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and management risk. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities as compared with an investment company that invests solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as
many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less able to be sold at a desirable time or price. These factors may limit the ability of the Fund to sell such securities at their fair value either to meet redemption
requests or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. From time to time, the Fund’s investments may include securities that alone or together with securities held by other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser, represents a
major portion or all of an issue of municipal securities. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments and, in some cases, there may be contractual restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to sell
such securities at a desirable time or price.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to
downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular
project or entity for which the bonds were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax
7
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
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.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, and a portfolio could suffer a loss if the issuer defaults during periods in
which a portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on
securities when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may
result in the Fund missing the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a
later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase prior to the time delivery of the
securities is made, although the Fund may earn income on securities it has set aside to cover these positions.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest
payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit
ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to
maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk
associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments
about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser
manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The
Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the
Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time
to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator
Definition
With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an
exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as
a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
During the fiscal year ended February
29, 2020, the Adviser received compensation of 0.24% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent semi-annual report to shareholders for the six-month period ended August 31.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the
maximum 2.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category IV Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of this
prospectus. Purchases of Class A2 shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum 1.00% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category III Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account
Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares only)” section of this prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the Shareholder Account
Information – Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs) section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a
time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may
experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.
Closure of Class A2 shares
The Fund discontinued public sales of its Class A2 shares to new
investors at the close of business on October 30, 2002.
Existing shareholders of the Fund may continue to
invest in Class A2 shares of the Fund if they were invested in the Class A2 shares of the Fund at the close of business on October 30, 2002 and remain invested in Class A2 shares of the Fund after that date.

Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and
certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations
made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is
intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory
fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year
period. The example reflects the following:
■
|
You invest $10,000 in
the Fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
|
■
|
Your investment has a
5% return before expenses each year;
|
■
|
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.

Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.

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.
|
■
|

Money Market Fund, Investor Class 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):
■
|

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

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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

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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

|
Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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.

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its
net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a
majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Under normal
market conditions, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in investment grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities
are: (i) securities rated BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s) or an equivalent rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization
(NRSRO), (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a
security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax at the time of issuance, in the opinion of
bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. To meet its investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities,
municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in
municipal securities classified as revenue bonds.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest
up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities below investment grade. These types of securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its portfolio
that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of
its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net
1
Invesco Municipal Income Fund
assets in tax-exempt money market funds and such instruments will be
treated as investments in municipal securities.
The Fund may invest more than 25% of its net assets
in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a larger investment in such segment. The Fund
may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject
to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities
and payment-in-kind securities.
The Fund may
purchase and sell securities on a when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that a Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future.
The Fund can invest in inverse floating rate
municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments,
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
The Fund can use futures contracts, including
Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest
rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s
portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including
general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an
issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and frequency of portfolio turnover
generally will not be a limiting factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
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:
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. All or a portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments,
particularly those with longer maturities. 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 shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs.
Debt Securities Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of
existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been repaid by
the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on investments in
debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the
credit rating of the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a
debt security in advance of a price decline or other credit event.
Derivatives Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to
the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its
obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a position in the
derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of the underlying asset,
which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a
desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to
changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a
particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
High Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Investments in high yield debt securities (“junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to
the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due, are more susceptible to default or decline in market value and are less liquid than investment grade debt securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very
volatile.
Inverse Floating Rate
Obligations Risk. The price of inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar
maturity. The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. These risks can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the interest payable by the inverse floater,
which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Additionally, these securities may lose some or all
2
Invesco Municipal Income Fund
of their principal and, in some cases, the Fund could lose money in
excess of its investment.
Liquidity Risk. The Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market
stress. If a significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Medium- and lower-grade municipal securities generally involve more volatility and greater risks, including credit, market, liquidity and management risks, than higher-grade securities. Furthermore, many issuers of
medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities than an investment company investing solely in higher-grade
securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as many buyers as are rated securities, which may have the effect of limiting the Fund’s ability to sell such securities at their fair value.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Failure of a municipal security issuer to comply with
applicable tax requirements may make income paid thereon taxable, resulting in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income
tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, which could result in a loss.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions subject the Fund to market risk because the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or yield generally available when
delivery occurs, and counterparty risk because the Fund relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction. These transactions also have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities
that it does not have to pay for until a later date, which increases the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. The value, interest rates, and liquidity of non-cash paying instruments, such as zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities, are subject to greater fluctuation than other types of securities. The higher yields and interest
rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than loans that periodically pay interest.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table
provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund and Van Kampen Municipal Income Fund (the precedessor fund) from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares
the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style-specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those
of the Fund (in that order). The Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
The returns shown prior to June 1, 2010 are those of
the Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund. The predecessor fund was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management. Class A, Class C and Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares,
respectively, of the Fund on June 1, 2010. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses. Predecessor fund performance for Class A shares has
been restated to reflect the Fund’s applicable sales charge.
Updated performance information is available on the

With respect to Class R6
shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other institutional investors purchasing
Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies
which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions
that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you
purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial
intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s) and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with a
high level of current income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal securities at the time of investment. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed
4
Invesco Municipal Income Fund
without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s
outstanding voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act. In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments
that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Under normal
market conditions, the Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by investing at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in investment grade municipal securities. Investment grade securities are: (i) securities rated BBB-
or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or an equivalent rating by another NRSRO, (ii) securities with comparable short-term NRSRO ratings, or (iii) unrated securities determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality,
each at the time of purchase. If two or more NRSROs have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
Municipal securities include debt obligations of
states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities, the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax at the time of issuance, in the opinion of
bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such securities.
The principal types of municipal debt securities
purchased by the Fund are revenue obligations and general obligations. Revenue obligations are usually payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities or, in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise
tax or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Revenue obligations may include industrial development, pollution control, public utility, housing, housing, and health care issues. Under normal market conditions, the
Fund invests primarily in municipal securities classified as revenue bonds. General obligation securities are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. To meet its
investment objective, the Fund invests in different types of general obligation and revenue obligation securities, including fixed and variable rate securities, municipal notes, variable rate demand notes, municipal leases, custodial receipts, and
participation certificates. The Fund may invest in these and other types of municipal securities.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund may invest
up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities below investment grade. These types of securities are commonly referred to as junk bonds. With respect to such investments, the Fund has not established any limit on the percentage of its portfolio
that may be invested in securities in any one rating category.
The Fund may invest all or a substantial portion of
its assets in municipal securities that are subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. From time to time, the Fund temporarily may invest up to 10% of its net assets in tax-exempt money market funds and such instruments will be treated as
investments in municipal securities.
The Fund
may invest more than 25% of its net assets in a segment of the municipal securities market with similar characteristics if the Adviser determines that the yields available from obligations in a particular segment justify the additional risks of a
larger investment in such segment. The Fund may not, however, invest more than 25% of its net assets in industrial development revenue bonds issued for companies in the same industry.
The Fund may invest in securities that are subject
to resale restrictions such as those contained in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Fund’s investments may include securities that do not produce immediate cash income, such as zero coupon securities
and payment-in-kind securities. Zero coupon securities are debt securities that do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of interest prior to maturity or a specified date when the securities begin paying current interest. Payment-in-kind
securities are debt securities that pay interest through the issuance of additional securities.
The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a
when-issued and delayed delivery basis, which means that a Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery taking place in the future. The payment obligation and the interest rate are fixed at the time a Fund enters into the
commitment. No income accrues on such securities until the date a Fund
actually takes delivery of the securities.
The
Fund can invest in inverse floating rate municipal obligations issued in connection with tender option bond programs to generate leverage. Inverse floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in
the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. Inverse floating rate obligations in which the Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds, tender option bonds or municipal bond trust certificates. Such
instruments are typically created by a special purpose trust (the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are contributed by the Fund (the underlying security), and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate
interests, which are sold to or held by third party investors, and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Fund. Because the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable
or floating rate from a predetermined amount, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such variable or floating rate increases and increase as such variable or floating rate decreases.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments,
including futures contracts and swap contracts.
A futures contract is a standardized agreement
between two parties to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset at a specified price at a specified future time. The value of the futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of the underlying asset.
Futures contracts are bilateral agreements, with both the purchaser and the seller equally obligated to complete the transaction. Depending on the terms of the particular contract, futures contracts are settled by purchasing an offsetting contract,
physically delivering the underlying asset on the settlement date or paying a cash settlement amount on the settlement date. The Fund can use futures contracts, including Treasury futures, to gain or reduce exposure to certain asset classes.
A swap contract is an agreement between two parties
pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount, with the payments calculated by reference to specified securities, indexes, reference rates, commodities, currencies or other assets. The
notional amount of a swap is based on the nominal or face amount of a reference asset that is used to calculate payments made on that swap; the notional amount typically is not exchanged between counterparties. The parties to the swap use variations
in the value of the underlying asset to calculate payments between them through the life of the swap. The Fund can use swap contracts, including interest rate swaps, to hedge its exposure to interest rates.
The Adviser actively manages the Fund’s
portfolio and adjusts the average maturity of portfolio investments based upon its expectations regarding the direction of interest rates and other economic factors. The Adviser seeks to identify those securities that it believes entail reasonable
credit risk considered in relation to the Fund’s investment policies. In selecting securities for investment, the Adviser uses its extensive research capabilities to assess potential investments and considers a number of factors, including
general market and economic conditions and interest rate, credit and prepayment risks. Each security considered for investment is subjected to an in-depth credit analysis to evaluate the level of risk it presents.
Decisions to purchase or sell securities are
determined by the relative value considerations of the portfolio managers that factor in economic and credit-related fundamentals, market supply and demand, market dislocations and situation-specific opportunities. The purchase or sale of securities
may be related to a decision to alter the Fund’s macro risk exposure (such as duration, yield curve positioning and sector exposure), a need to limit or reduce the Fund’s exposure to a particular security or issuer, degradation of an
issuer’s credit quality, or general liquidity needs of the Fund. The potential for realization of capital gains or losses resulting from possible changes in interest rates will not be a major consideration and
5
Invesco Municipal Income Fund
frequency of portfolio turnover generally will not be a limiting
factor if the Adviser considers it advantageous to purchase or sell securities.
In anticipation of or in response to market,
economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If the Fund’s portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s
performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in the types of
securities and other investments described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in
securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For more information, see “Description of the
Funds and Their Investments and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.
Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest all or a portion of its total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates near historical lows. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities. In addition, decreases in fixed income
dealer market-making capacity may persist in the future, potentially leading 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. In addition,
because of changing central bank policies, the Fund may experience higher than normal shareholder redemptions which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and the Fund’s transaction costs and potentially lower the Fund’s
performance returns.
Debt Securities
Risk. The prices of debt securities held by the Fund will be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the
value of existing debt securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer-duration debt securities and higher quality debt securities. Falling interest rates will cause the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of debt securities that have been
repaid by the issuer at lower interest rates. Falling interest rates may also reduce the Fund’s distributable income because interest payments on floating rate debt instruments held by the Fund will decline. The Fund could lose money on
investments in debt securities if the issuer or borrower fails to meet its obligations to make interest payments and/or to repay principal in a timely manner. If an issuer seeks to restructure the terms of its borrowings or the Fund is required to
seek recovery upon a default in the payment of interest or the repayment of principal, the Fund may incur additional expenses. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, the market’s perception of such strength or in the credit rating of
the issuer or the security may affect the value of debt securities. The Adviser’s credit analysis may fail to anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in
advance of a price decline or other credit event.
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. Leverage may therefore make the Fund’s returns more volatile
and increase the risk of loss. The Fund segregates or earmarks liquid assets with a value at least equal to the amount that the Fund owes the derivative counterparty each day, if any, or otherwise holds instruments that offset the Fund’s daily
obligation under the derivatives instrument. This process is sometimes referred to as “cover.” The amount of liquid assets needed as cover will fluctuate over time as the value of the derivative instrument rises and falls. If the value
of the Fund’s derivative positions or the value of the assets used as cover unexpectedly decreases, the Fund may be forced to segregate additional liquid assets as cover or sell assets at a disadvantageous time or price to meet its derivative
obligations or to meet redemption requests, which could affect management of the Fund and the Fund’s returns. 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 or cover. 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 have attempted to 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
|
6
Invesco Municipal Income Fund
|
character, timing and
amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit or prevent the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as a part of its investment strategy, which could make the investment strategy more costly to implement or
require the Fund to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example, to the extent that the Fund uses derivatives for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market or market segment,
there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the value of the instrument being hedged or the relevant market or market segment, in which case the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. There is also the
risk that during adverse market conditions, an instrument which would usually operate as a hedge provides no hedging benefits at all. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the Fund as a regulated
investment company.
|
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. The Fund’s investments in high yield debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject the Fund to
substantial risk of loss. These securities are considered to be speculative with respect to the issuer’s ability to pay interest and principal when due and are more susceptible to default or decline in market value due to adverse economic,
regulatory, political or company developments than higher rated or investment grade securities. Prices of high yield debt securities tend to be very volatile. These securities are less liquid than investment grade debt securities and may be
difficult to sell at a desirable time or price, particularly in times of negative sentiment toward high yield securities.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations Risk. Inverse floating rate obligations (inverse floaters) represent interests in bonds with interest rates that vary inversely to changes in short-term rates. As short-term rates rise, inverse floaters produce less income,
and as short-term rates decline, inverse floaters produce more income. As a result, the price of inverse floaters is expected to decline when interest rates rise, and generally will decline further than the price of a bond with a similar maturity.
The price of inverse floaters is typically more volatile than the price of bonds with similar maturities. Interest rate risk and price volatility of inverse floaters can be particularly high if leverage is used in the formula that determines the
interest payable by the inverse floater. Leverage may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. The Fund generally invests in inverse floaters that include embedded leverage, thus exposing the Fund to greater risks
and increased costs. The market value of a “leveraged” inverse floater will fluctuate in response to changes in market rates of interest to a greater extent than the value of an unleveraged investment, and the value of, and income earned
on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage are more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions. The use of short-term floating rate obligations may require the Fund to segregate or earmark cash or liquid assets
to cover its obligations. Securities so segregated or earmarked will be unavailable for sale by the Fund (unless replaced by other securities qualifying for segregation requirements), which may limit the Fund’s flexibility and may require that
the Fund sell other portfolio investments at a time when it may be disadvantageous to sell such assets. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, the special purpose trust that created the inverse floater may be collapsed and the underlying
security liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying
security and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate interests. Recent regulatory changes have prompted changes to the structure of tender option bonds. The Fund’s enhanced role under the revised structure may increase the
Fund’s operational and regulatory risk.
Liquidity Risk. The
Fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such investments. An investment may be illiquid due to a lack of trading
volume in the investment or if the investment is privately placed and
not traded in any public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. Certain restricted securities require special registration and pose valuation difficulties. Liquid securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a
significant amount of the Fund’s securities become illiquid, the Fund may not be able to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at significantly reduced prices.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also
impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general
downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Medium- and Lower-Grade Municipal Securities Risk. Securities which are in the medium- and lower-grade categories generally offer higher yields than are offered by higher-grade securities of similar maturity, but they also generally involve more volatility and greater
risks, such as greater credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and management risk. Furthermore, many issuers of medium- and lower-grade securities choose not to have a rating assigned to their obligations by any nationally recognized statistical
rating organization. As such, the Fund’s portfolio may consist of a higher portion of unrated securities as compared with an investment company that invests solely in higher-grade securities. Unrated securities may not be as attractive to as
many buyers as are rated securities, a factor which may make unrated securities less able to be sold at a desirable time or price. These factors may limit the ability of the Fund to sell such securities at their fair value either to meet redemption
requests or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.
Municipal Issuer Focus Risk. The municipal issuers in which the Fund invests may be located in the same geographic area or may pay their interest obligations from revenue of similar projects, such as hospitals, airports, utility systems and housing
finance agencies. This may make the Fund’s investments more susceptible to similar social, economic, political or regulatory occurrences, making the Fund more susceptible to experience a drop in its share price than if the Fund had been more
diversified across issuers that did not have similar characteristics. From time to time, the Fund’s investments may include securities that alone or together with securities held by other funds or accounts managed by the Adviser,

Invesco Municipal Income Fund
represents a major portion or all of an issue of municipal securities.
Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments and, in some cases, there may be contractual restrictions on resales, the Fund may find it more difficult to sell such securities at a desirable time or price.
Municipal Securities Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Constitutional amendments, legislative enactments, executive orders, administrative regulations, voter initiatives,
and the issuer’s regional economic conditions may affect the municipal security’s value, interest payments, repayment of principal and the Fund’s ability to sell the security. Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to
downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Municipal securities structured as revenue bonds are generally not backed by the taxing power of the issuing municipality but rather the revenue from the particular
project or entity for which the bonds were issued. If the Internal Revenue Service determines that an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could be treated as taxable, which
could result in a decline in the security’s value. In addition, there could be changes in applicable tax laws or tax treatments that reduce or eliminate the current federal income tax exemption on municipal securities or otherwise adversely
affect the current federal or state tax status of municipal securities.
Variable-Rate Demand Notes Risk. The absence of an active secondary market for certain variable and floating rate notes could make it difficult to dispose of these instruments, and a portfolio could suffer a loss if the issuer defaults during periods in
which a portfolio is not entitled to exercise its demand rights.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment
Risks. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions are subject to market risk as the value or yield of a security at delivery may be more or less than the purchase price or the yield generally available on
securities when delivery occurs. In addition, the Fund is subject to counterparty risk because it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to consummate the transaction, and failure by the counterparty to complete the transaction may
result in the Fund missing the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on the Fund because the Fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have to pay for until a
later date. These investments therefore increase the Fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility. Typically, no income accrues on securities the Fund has committed to purchase prior to the time delivery of the
securities is made, although the Fund may earn income on securities it has set aside to cover these positions.
Zero Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated securities paying cash interest at regular interest
payment periods. Prices on non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit
ratings, and thus may be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to
maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. The higher yields and interest rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased credit risk
associated with such instruments and that such investments may represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals require continuing judgments
about the collectability of the deferred payments and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon or pay-in-kind securities.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco serves as the Fund’s investment adviser. The Adviser
manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day management. The
Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Exclusion of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator
Definition
With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an
exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as
a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
During the fiscal year ended February
29, 2020, the Adviser received compensation of 0.46% of the Fund's average daily net assets, after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent semi-annual report to shareholders for the six-month period ended August 31.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the
maximum 4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the
prospectus. Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of
this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a
time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may
experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Municipal Income Fund
Hypothetical Investment and Expense Information
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco and
certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including the New York Attorney General’s Office, the SEC and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office (the settlement) arising out of certain market timing and unfair pricing allegations
made against Invesco and certain of its affiliates, Invesco and certain of its affiliates agreed, among other things, to disclose certain hypothetical information regarding investment and expense information to Fund shareholders. The chart below is
intended to reflect the annual and cumulative impact of the Fund’s expenses, including investment advisory
fees and other Fund costs, on the Fund’s returns over a 10-year
period. The example reflects the following:
■
|
You invest $10,000 in
the Fund and hold it for the entire 10-year period;
|
■
|
Your investment has a
5% return before expenses each year;
|
■
|
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.

Invesco Municipal Income Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an

Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:

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.”

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
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|

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):
■
|

Please refer

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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund
■
|
Investors who
purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in
exchange for servicing that account.
|
■
|
Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates:
|
■
|
with assets of at
least $1 million; or
|
■
|
with at least 100
employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
|
■
|
that execute plan
level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
|
■
|
Any investor who
purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee,
custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
|
■
|
Investors who own
Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor Class Shares were first purchased.
|
■
|
Funds of funds or
other pooled investment vehicles.
|
■
|
Insurance company
separate accounts.
|
■
|
Any current or
retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
■
|
Any registered
representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
|
■
|
Any investor
purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary
will make Class A shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
In addition, investors may acquire Class A
shares without paying an initial sales charge in connection with:
■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and
|
■
|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Waivers Available Through Certain Financial
Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The financial intermediary-specific waivers,
discounts, policies regarding exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, and minimum account balances that follow are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below. Please contact your financial
intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements.
Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial

responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. Please contact your financial intermediary
for more information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for such

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

class 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.

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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.

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.

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 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.

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

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 Y and Class R6 shares to 0.70%, 1.25%, 0.45% and 0.35%, respectively, of the Fund's average daily net assets (the “expense limits”). Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreement, it will
terminate on June 30, 2021. 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 for the contractual period above and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 79% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act of 1940 or 1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s
direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The Fund selects investments without regard to the
alternative minimum tax (AMT).
The Fund
invests in municipal securities issued by the governments of states, their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and the District of Columbia, or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities.
These primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), interests in municipal leases, and tax-exempt commercial paper. Municipal securities generally are classified as general
or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues
derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source.
The Fund will not invest in securities issued by
U.S. territories and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities.
Most of the securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade,” although it can invest as much as 15% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (sometimes called “junk bonds”), and may acquire securities that are in default. The Fund also will not invest
more than 40% of its total assets in securities, in the aggregate, that are rated below the top three investment grade categories or that are unrated. Each of these restrictions is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold
a
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an
unrated security, after the Fund’s adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the
Fund’s holdings of these securities to exceed, at times significantly, these restrictions for an extended period of time. Investment-grade securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade).
The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in
which case the Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund
will not invest more than 20% of its total assets in unrated securities.
For purposes of the limitations described above
regarding “unrated securities,” such securities do not include securities that are not rated but that the Fund’s Adviser determines to be comparable to securities of the same issuer that are rated by a nationally recognized
statistical rating organization.
The Fund can
invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 10% of its total assets to the effects of leverage
from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase additional
securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total
assets in municipal securities issued by the government of a single state, its political subdivisions, or its agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in
municipal securities issued by each of California, New York, and Texas, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities and authorities. In addition, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of its total assets in a single sector, as determined by the
Adviser. This limitation does not apply to investments in the general obligations sector.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund does not limit its investments to
securities of a particular maturity range, and may hold both short and long-term securities. However, the Fund currently focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change. The Fund may invest in
obligations that pay interest at fixed or variable rates.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of municipal securities nationwide that provide high current income, have favorable credit characteristics, and provide opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of
these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the
Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the
security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating, for any reason, can also
reduce the market value of the issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market
expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid
at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the
security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk
that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay
the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
in the U.S. are near historically low levels, increasing the exposure
of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market
for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to 15% of its total
assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund
may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Fund Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other
market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the
Fund has more than 15% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the
restriction.
Municipal Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in
the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any
“industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities
may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or
economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which are increasing pressure on their
budgets. These pressures may adversely affect
their ability to meet their
outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change
the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting
such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the
municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt
should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations,
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to
trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its
borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse
repurchase agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a
higher price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will
have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be
illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for
unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules
implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail
further risks and costs.
Inverse
Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of
comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value
of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to
decline more quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.
An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate
municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse
floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate
securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining
amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less
income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the
Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in
response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal
bond, any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond
liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond
and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 10% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total
assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par
value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or adverse
investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in
value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund, which was consummated
after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to October 15, 2018, the predecessor fund employed a different investment strategy. Therefore, the performance shown for periods prior to October 15, 2018 may have
differed had the Fund’s current investment strategy been in effect. 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 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
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
(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 and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund.
Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the
predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of
the Fund have less than a calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6
shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

With respect to Class R6
shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other institutional investors purchasing
Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies
which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions
that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you
purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial
intermediary’s website for more information.

Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund
selects investments without regard to this type of tax treatment.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond
issuers, investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other investments.
The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term
municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values
of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates
rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus,
interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest
rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a
change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in
general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which
is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects
lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund
may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
|
a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility.
Interest-only and principal- only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
|
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline
unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic
lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to
meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the
Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely
affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly
to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit
rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse
credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market
size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities
markets.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the
Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or
reductions in bond payments, which could affect the Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and tobacco manufacturers have been and
continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the payment streams associated with the MSA
or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation related to the tobacco industry and the
MSA.

“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith,
credit or taxing power of the state.
Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as
a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit
quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their
obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit
rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such
rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal
security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or
other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as
the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and changes in interest rates.
These real estate risks may be heightened in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects. These expenses may increase
the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, these projects can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally are limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to
pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities
selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change
from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated
8
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings
(S&P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within
the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized
statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating from one or
more rating agencies.
Risks of
Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have
higher risk profiles. Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the
obligation and may have more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income
from these securities, and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
The Fund can invest up to 15% of its total assets in
below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its
assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an
extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade
securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 15% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade
securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction. Below-investment-grade securities are subject to greater credit risks than investment-grade securities.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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 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 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 Adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the
issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer’s management, and
regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A reduction in the rating of a security after the
Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the Adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest a portion of its total assets in
municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the
Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt
municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s
9
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and
indebtedness other than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse”
trusts that issued “inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund
currently participates in a line of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may
not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose
money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under
financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse, which may result in
increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures commission merchant through which
the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund
may use derivatives to seek income or capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest
rate swaps or municipal bond swaps. While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust
(the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells short-term floating rate
securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond, to the Fund. The
proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a prevailing market rate and
holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically, usually daily or weekly. A
remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the tendered short-term floating
rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the
underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the
inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise
of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the
Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory
tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying
municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an
event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally
receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the
Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund may have an obligation
to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of its investment in the
related inverse floater.
The Fund may
enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider
must provide cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the
shortfall/reimbursement agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by
the Trust. The Adviser monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do
so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which
affects the Fund’s annual operating expenses, shown earlier in
this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond
to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of
Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate
Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates
are automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the percentage of LIBOR, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by
bank letters of credit or other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and
global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types
of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in
value.
Additional Investment
Information. In anticipation of or in response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund’s portfolio managers may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If
the Fund’s portfolio managers do so, different factors could affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in the types of
securities and other investments described in this prospectus vary from time to time, and, at any time, the Fund may not be invested in all of the types of securities and other investments described in this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in
securities and other investments not described in this prospectus.
For more information, see “Description of the
Fund and Its Investments and Risks” in the Fund’s SAI.

Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
Percentage of LIBOR Notes (PLNs). The Fund may invest in PLNs which are variable rate municipal securities based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a widely used benchmark for short-term interest rates and used by banks for interbank loans
with other banks. A PLN typically pays interest based on a percentage of a LIBOR rate for a specified time plus an established yield premium. Due to their variable rate features, PLNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term
interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market volatility, however, PLNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a PLN also may decline due to other factors, such as
changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.
The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions
using PLNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular PLN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a PLN when it is advantageous
to do so. The Fund may also transfer a PLN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a PLN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the Adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the collateral or
other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the Adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly speculative and involves a
high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation on holding below-investment-grade securities. The Adviser does not expect that
this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
12
Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
Exclusion of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator
Definition
With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an
exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as
a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the Fund, calculated at the annual
rate of 0.40% of the first $500 million, 0.35% of the next $500 million, 0.30% of the next $500 million and 0.28% of the amount over $1.5 billion of average daily net assets. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid
by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A discussion
regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.
Portfolio Managers
The following individuals are jointly and primarily responsible for
the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:
■
|
Michael L. Camarella
(co-lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2019. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Mr. Camarella managed the
predecessor fund since 2008 and was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm, since 2003.
|
■
|
Charles S. Pulire
(co-lead manager), Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2019. Prior to the commencement of the Fund’s operations, Mr. Pulire managed the
predecessor fund since 2010 and was associated with OppenheimerFunds, a global asset management firm, since 2006.
|
■
|
Mark
Paris, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2010.
|
The portfolio managers are assisted by investment
professionals from the Invesco Municipal Fund Management Team. Members of the team may change from time to time.
A 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 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
4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of
Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains
(net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a time of economic
volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the Fund may experience
a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
The financial highlights information
presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial
history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the class of shares, and the eleven-month period ended February 29, 2020. The financial highlights table is intended to help you
understand the Fund’s and the predecessor fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share.
The total returns in the table represent the rate
that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund or predecessor fund
(assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The
information for the fiscal years ended after May 24, 2019 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements, is included in the
Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor. Effective November 30, 2019, the Fund changed its fiscal year end
from March 31 to the end of February.

Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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.
|
■
|

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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):
■
|
Class A 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
Oppenheimer 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.

waivers and discounts will depend on whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:

investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

Front-end load
discounts available at Edward Jones: Breakpoints, Rights of Accumulation & Letters of Intent
|
■
|
Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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.
|
■

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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.

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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.

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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder
Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most
shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of
these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual
copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.

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 fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 27% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. These primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), interests in municipal leases, and tax-exempt
commercial paper. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act).
In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment
requirement.
Municipal securities
generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose
interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include securities issued by U.S. territories,
commonwealths and possessions, or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, if the interest on such securities is not subject to federal income tax.
The Fund will not invest in municipal securities the
interest on which would be subject to the federal “alternative minimum tax” (AMT).
Most of the securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade,” although it can invest as much as 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (sometimes called “junk bonds”), and may acquire securities that are in default. This restriction is applied
at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Fund’s Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), has changed its
assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an
extended period of time. Investment-grade securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined
by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in
investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit
analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund does not
limit its investments to securities in a particular maturity range, but it currently focuses on securities with maturities between 5 and 30 years when issued. The Fund may invest in obligations that pay interest at fixed or variable rates. The Fund
can invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of
leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund's investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase
additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of municipal securities nationwide that provide high current income, have favorable credit characteristics, and provide opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of
these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the
security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating, for any reason, can also
reduce the market value of the issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market
expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid
at a
slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent
for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds
from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected
maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at
a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near
historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market
for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its total
assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security
whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the
Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in
significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total
assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction.
Municipal
Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s
total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not
considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus.
Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a
particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which
are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and
performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on
investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories,
Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana
Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural
disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations.
Certain of the municipalities in which the Fund
invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A credit rating downgrade relating
to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and interest, the market values and
marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
The Fund expects to invest a significant percentage
of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities. In the past several years, securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies and instrumentalities have been subject to multiple credit downgrades as a result of Puerto Rico’s ongoing
fiscal challenges, growing debt obligations and uncertainty about its ability to make full repayment on these obligations. More recently, certain issuers of Puerto Rican municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on
obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments or defaults may be likely to occur in the future. Such developments could adversely impact the Fund’s performance. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and outside
bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher
price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a
larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the
market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as
expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size
of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under financial reform
legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail further risks and costs.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality. Because
inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security
of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed-rate
securities.
An inverse floater is
created when a fixed-rate municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal
bond, and the inverse floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term
floating rate securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with
any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters
produce less income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield
advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any
change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated,
and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the
principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters
held by the Fund to the total assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the
value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond)
will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the
municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt
should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester AMT-Free Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund,
which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and
the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and 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 and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of the Fund have less than a
calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6 shares’ returns of
the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.

With respect to
Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other institutional investors purchasing
Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies
which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax Information
The Fund’s
distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions that are
taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
5
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item for investors subject to the federal AMT. However, the Fund selects investments the interest from which is not subject to AMT.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” See, for example, tobacco bonds with an appropriation pledge as discussed in this prospectus. The Fund
can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual,
and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers,
investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other investments.
The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term
municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values
of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates
rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus,
interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest
rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in
|
|
a rising
interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio
can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline
about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt
security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects
lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund
may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
|
may increase the
security’s price volatility. Interest-only and principal- only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those
investments.
|
Fixed-Income
Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities.
Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which
are near historic lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large
blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant
percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable
prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment
account managed similarly to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in
an issuer’s credit rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of
liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market
size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities
markets.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal
working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of
longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement
offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to
continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the
Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the
MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains
more detailed information about the litigation related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.
■
|
“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith,
credit or taxing power of the state.
Ratings of
Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in
evaluating the credit risk of securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market
risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings (S& P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or
BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings
to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of
such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating
from one or more rating agencies.
The Fund can
invest up to 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated
security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at
times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the
Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will
not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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 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 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 Adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the
issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer’s management, and
regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A reduction in the rating of a security after the
Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the Adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have higher risk profiles.
Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have
more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities,
and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.

■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.

In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.

■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.

Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced
certain
insurers’ capital and called into question their continued
ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers
a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not
entirely, reflect such rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s
yield. If a municipal security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or
other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as
the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and changes in interest rates.
These real estate risks may be heightened in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects. These expenses may increase
the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, these projects can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally are limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to
pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be
unsuccessful.

In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under
financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse, which may result in
increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures commission merchant through which
the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund
may use derivatives to seek income or capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest
rate swaps or municipal bond swaps. While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a
prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically,
usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the
tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any
market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit
into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right
to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the
Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of
short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory
tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying
municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an
event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally
receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the
Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund may have an obligation
to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of its investment in the
related inverse floater.
The Fund may
enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider
must provide cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an
event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the
purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Adviser monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s
investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s
annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial
institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as
investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
Risks of Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and
the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic,
social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the
Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Significant Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal
Securities. The Fund expects to invest a significant percentage of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities, which are exempt from federal,
state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. The Adviser expects the Fund to remain invested in municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, subject to market, economic and political conditions. Puerto Rico
experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations, underfunded government retirement
systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico municipal securities have filed for
bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due,
and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in
the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic and fiscal environment, certain securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. The Fund expects to seek exposure to
some of these securities, which may subject the Fund to additional risks as described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be
adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued
“inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with certain Invesco Funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may
not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the
Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt
municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
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.
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 which are not specifically related to
the particular issuer, such as
11
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
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, acts
of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively
implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset
classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Additional Investment Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.
The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions
using FRNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous
to do so. The Fund may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the investment adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly
speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade
securities. The investment adviser does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.

Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of
Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With respect to
the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject
to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the Fund, calculated at the annual
rate of 0.60% of the first $200 million, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million, 0.35% of the next $4 billion, and 0.33% of the amount over $5 billion of average
daily net assets. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.

Williams, Portfolio Manager, who has been responsible for the Fund since 2019 and has been associated with Invesco and/or its affiliates since 2010.
|
The portfolio managers are assisted by investment
professionals from the Invesco Municipal Fund Management Team. Members of the team 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
4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of
Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a
time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though
the Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
The financial highlights information
presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial
history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the class of shares, and the seven-month period ended February 29, 2020. 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, are included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor. Effective August 31, 2019, the Fund
changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the end of February.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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):
■
|
Class A 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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund
■
|
Investors who
purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in
exchange for servicing that account.

■
|
Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates:
|
■
|
with assets of at
least $1 million; or

employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
|
■
|
that execute plan
level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
|
■
|
Any investor who
purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee,
custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.
|
■
|

Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor Class Shares were first purchased.
|
■
|

|
Any registered
representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the Invesco Funds (this includes any members of his or her immediate family).
|
■
|
Any investor
purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary
will make Class A shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
In addition, investors may acquire Class A
shares without paying an initial sales charge in connection with:
■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and
|
■
|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Waivers Available Through Certain Financial
Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The financial intermediary-specific waivers,
discounts, policies regarding exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, and minimum account balances that follow are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below. Please contact your financial
intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements.
Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. Please contact your financial intermediary
for more information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for such
arrangements. The terms and availability of these waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time.

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

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

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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.

redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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 or terminate
any sales charge waivers or exceptions.

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.

Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder
Documents

Example. This Example
is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example
assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms of compensation that investors may pay on
transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 15% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities, the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
Municipal securities generally are classified as
general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the
revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include securities issued by U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions or
by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, if the interest on such securities is not subject to New York state and New York City personal income taxes and federal income tax. These securities are “New York municipal
securities” for purposes of this prospectus.
The Fund will not invest in municipal securities the
interest from which (and thus proportionate share of the exempt-interest dividends paid by the Fund) would be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT). Additionally, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its
net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in New York municipal securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. These securities are generally issued by the state and its
political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), interests in municipal leases, and
tax-exempt commercial paper.
Most of the securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade,” although it can invest as much as 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (commonly called “junk bonds”). This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue
to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Fund’s Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As
a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Investment-grade securities
are
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in
which case the Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent with or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund does not
limit its investments to securities of a particular maturity range, but it generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. The Fund can invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return.
The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund's investments in inverse floaters are
included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase additional
securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of New York municipal securities, including unrated bonds and securities of smaller issuers, from different issuers that provide high current tax-free income and might be overlooked by other investors and
funds.
The portfolio managers may consider
selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the
security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating, for any reason, can also
reduce the market value of the issuer’s
securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield
between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market
values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an
increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s
expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or
redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may
repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate,
reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market
Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening.
During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet
shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from
shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell
its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S.
are near historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly
increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may
be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its total
assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund
may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other
market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the
Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the
restriction.
Risks of New York
Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in New York municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of the state of
New York and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Budgetary stress on the state or its municipalities, changes in federal, state, and local legislation or policy, erosion of the tax base,
the effects of terrorist acts, natural disasters or environmental issues, or other economic or legislative, political or social issues may have a significant negative impact on the value of state or local securities.
Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories,
Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana
Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. These investments also are considered to be “New York municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus. Accordingly, the Fund
may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such
obligations.
Certain of the
municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A
credit rating downgrade relating to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and
interest, the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund expects
to invest a significant percentage of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities. In the past several years, securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies and instrumentalities have been subject to multiple credit downgrades as a
result of Puerto Rico’s ongoing fiscal challenges, growing debt obligations and uncertainty about its ability to make full repayment on these obligations. More recently, certain issuers of Puerto Rican municipal securities have filed for
bankruptcy failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments or defaults may be likely to occur in the future. Such developments could adversely impact the Fund’s performance. The outcome of any debt
restructuring, both within and
outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring
is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Municipal
Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s
total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not
considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus.
Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a
particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which
are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and
performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on
investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund
currently participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher
price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a
larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be
illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for
unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules
implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail
further risks and costs.
Inverse
Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of
comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value
of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to
decline more quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.
An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate
municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse
floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate
securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining
amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less
income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the
Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the
market value of the underlying municipal bond is
reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually
required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total
assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par
value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
adverse market conditions.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are
generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service,
state tax authorities or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt
municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund (the
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
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 and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of the Fund have less than a
calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6 shares’ returns of
the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

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

Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Fund focuses its investments in the state of New
York. The Fund will therefore be vulnerable to the effects of economic, regulatory and political developments that affect New York’s governmental issuers.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal AMT. However, the Fund selects
investments the interest from which is not subject to AMT.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” See, for example, tobacco bonds with an appropriation pledge as discussed in this prospectus. The Fund
can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual,
and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers,
investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other investments.
The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term
municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.
New York municipal securities are municipal
securities that are not subject (in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time they are issued) to federal and New York individual income tax. The term “New York
municipal securities” also includes debt securities of the
governments of certain possessions, territories and commonwealths of the United States if the interest is not subject to federal and New York individual income tax. For additional discussion of the special considerations relating to the Fund’s
investments in New York and the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, see the SAI. Some debt securities, such as zero-coupon securities, do not pay current interest. Other securities may be subject to calls by the issuer (to redeem the
debt) or to prepayment prior to their stated maturity.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values
of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates
rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus,
interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest
rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a
change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in
general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which
is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects
lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. Some unrated securities may not
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
|
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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund
may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility.
Interest-only and principal- only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
|
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline
unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic
lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to
meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the
Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely
affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly
to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit
rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse
credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the
debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable
debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market
size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities
markets.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the
Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths
and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the
Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and
developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the Fund’s municipal obligations and
other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Significant Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal
Securities. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund expects to invest a significant percentage of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities,
which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. The Adviser expects the Fund to remain invested in municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, subject to market, economic and
political conditions. Puerto Rico experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations,
underfunded government retirement systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico
municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic
and fiscal environment, certain securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. The Fund expects to invest in some of these securities, which may subject the Fund to additional risks as
described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and
outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly
greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the
payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation
related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.
■
|
“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith,
credit or taxing power of the state.
Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain
8
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees.
Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have
experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance
if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts
the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. The Fund may lose money on
its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal security’s insurer fails to
fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities
selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change
from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings (S& P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or
BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings
to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating from one or
more rating agencies.
Risks of
Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have
higher risk profiles. Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the
obligation and may have more credit risk than
investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening
economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities, and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of
below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its
assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an
extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade
securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade
securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction. Below-investment-grade securities are subject to greater credit risks than investment-grade securities.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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 Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used
by a
9
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
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 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 Adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service
on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer’s
management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A reduction in the rating of a security after the
Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the Adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be
unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant to
rules implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a
clearinghouse, which may result in increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures
commission merchant through which the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund may use derivatives to seek income or
capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest rate swaps or municipal bond swaps.
While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a
prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically,
usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the
tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the
underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the
inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise
of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the
Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding
principal amount of the related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory
tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying
municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an
event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally
receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the
Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund may have an obligation
to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of its investment in the
related inverse floater.
The Fund may
enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider
must provide cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the
shortfall/reimbursement agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by
the Trust. The Adviser monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do
so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the
Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the
related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as
part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to
such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued
“inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may
not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state taxing authorities or any court, and
after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state taxing authorities or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to
federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court,
or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such
11
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of
the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and
global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types
of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in
value.
Additional Investment
Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.
The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions
using FRNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous
to do so. The Fund may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the investment adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly
speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade
securities. The investment adviser does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.

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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of
Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With respect to
the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject
to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the Fund, calculated at the annual
rate of 0.60% of the first $200 million, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million, 0.35% of the next $4 billion, and 0.33% of the amount over $5 billion of average
daily net assets. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative
services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays
sub-advisory fees, if any.
A discussion
regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of income that is exempt from federal, New York State, and New York City income taxes.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment activities and cash flows. During a
time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though
the Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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.
|
■

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

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

For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
All Funds,

|
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):
■
|

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

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

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

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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

■
|
Conversions into
Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.

Excessive Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing)
Disclosures
While the Funds provide their shareholders with
daily liquidity, their investment programs are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the
Funds’ shares (i.e., a purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to
liquidate portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take
advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities, the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term
trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.

Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|

required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.

Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.

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

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 fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
As a fundamental policy, the Fund may invest up to
20% of its net assets in securities subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Additionally, under normal market conditions, and as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in California municipal securities and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities. These securities are generally issued by the state and its political subdivisions (such as cities,
towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations) and interests in municipal leases. Municipal securities generally are classified
as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from
the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include securities issued by issuers located outside of California, such as
U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, or their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities if the interest on such securities is not subject to California and federal income tax. These securities are “California municipal
securities” for purposes of this prospectus.
Most of the securities the Fund buys must be
“investment-grade” (rated in one of the four highest rating categories of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, such as S&P Global Ratings or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund’s
Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade), although the Fund also can invest as much as 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (sometimes called “junk
bonds”). This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the
security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s
holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities,
after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the
Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund does not limit its investments to
securities of a particular maturity range, and may hold both short and long-term securities. However, the Fund expects to focus on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change. The Fund may invest in
obligations that pay interest at fixed or variable rates.
The Fund can
invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage
from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase
additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of California municipal securities from different issuers that provide high current income, including unrated bonds, that have favorable credit characteristics and that provide opportunities for value. The
portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the
security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit
rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the
issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to
default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than
expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a
decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the
Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer
may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity.
The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near
historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and could cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns may cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose
securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market for
below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its total
assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund
may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other
market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the
Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the
restriction.
Risks of California
Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of the State of
California and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Budgetary stress on the state or its municipalities, changes in federal, state and local legislation or policy, erosion of the tax
base, the effects of terrorist acts, or natural disasters or environmental issues (including drought and wildfires), or other economic, legislative, political or social issues may have a significant negative impact on the value of California
municipal securities.
Risks of
Investing in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. These investments also are considered to be “California municipal securities” for purposes of this
prospectus. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the
issuers of such obligations.
Certain of
the municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade
securities. A credit rating downgrade relating to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of
principal and interest, the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
Municipal Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in
the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any
“industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities
may finance
or pay interest from the revenues of
projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a
project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect
their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may
place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks
from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a
higher price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will
have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be
illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for
unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules
implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail
further risks and costs.
Inverse
Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of
comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value
of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to
decline more quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.
An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate
municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse
floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate
securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining
amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less
income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the
Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the
market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund
could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the
liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal
amount of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total
assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par
value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
adverse market conditions.
Alternative Minimum
Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the
time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a
court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could
be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester California Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund, which was consummated after the
close of business on May 24, 2019 (the
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
“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 and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of the Fund have less than a
calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6 shares’ returns of
the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

With respect to Class R6
shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other institutional investors purchasing
Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of investment companies
which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax Information
The Fund’s
distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax and state income tax for individual residents of California. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund also
may make distributions that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial
5
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
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), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” The Fund can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the
United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual, and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to
the issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers, investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other
investments.
California municipal securities
are municipal securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and California individual income tax. The term “California municipal securities” also
includes debt securities of the governments of certain possessions, territories and commonwealths of the United States if the interest on such securities is not subject to federal and California individual income tax. For additional discussion of
the special considerations relating to the Fund’s investments in California and the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, see the SAI. Some debt securities, such as zero-coupon securities, do not pay current interest. Other
securities may be subject to calls by the issuer (to redeem the debt) or to prepayment prior to their stated maturity.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values
of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates
rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus,
interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest
rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a
change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in
general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which
is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects
lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
|
choosing not to
redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its
market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund
may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility.
Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.

Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline
unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic
lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to
meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the
Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely
affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly
to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit
rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse
credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other market developments can adversely
affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to make timely principal and interest
payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value of those debt securities and may
cause increased volatility in those debt
securities or debt securities
markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on
attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to
monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of
potential investment options, and return potential.
In addition, although the fixed-income securities
markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities for certain debt
securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market size. Because market
makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities markets.
Risks of Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and
the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic,
social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the
Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal Securities. The Fund may also invest in Puerto Rican municipal securities, which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. Puerto Rico
experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations, underfunded government retirement
systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico municipal securities have filed for
bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic and fiscal environment, certain
securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. Investments in such securities may subject the Fund to additional risks as described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in
Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future
restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for
issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal
Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund
can invest in certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the
issuing municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly
basis.
If the municipal government
stops making payments or transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the
event of non-appropriation or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market,
making it difficult for the Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the
payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation
related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.

|
“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may
|
|
invest in tobacco
related bonds that are subject to a state’s appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of
municipal bonds that are subject to state appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation
debt”) are typically payable from two distinct sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs
from a state’s general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest
and/or principal on the bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not
pledge the full faith, credit or taxing power of the state.
Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced
certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have
the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more
relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it
8
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases the insurance, it must
pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or
other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as
the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and changes in interest rates.
These real estate risks may be heightened in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects. These expenses may increase
the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, these projects can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally are limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to
pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
In California, these special tax or special
assessment bonds also are referred to as Mello-Roos Bonds. The bonds are issued under the California Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act to finance the building of roads, sewage treatment plants and other projects designed to improve the
infrastructure of a community. Mello-Roos bonds are primarily secured by real estate taxes levied on property located in the community. The timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds depends on the property owner’s
continuing ability to pay the real estate taxes. Various factors could negatively affect this ability including a declining economy or real estate market in California.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities
selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change
from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings (S& P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization
(or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to
be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,”
they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating from one or
more rating agencies.
Risks of
Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have
higher risk profiles. Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the
obligation and may have more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income
from these securities, and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of
9
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit
rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s
holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant
amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets
invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction. Below-investment-grade securities are
subject to greater credit risks than investment-grade securities.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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 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 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 Adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt service on a security, the
issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the issuer’s management, and
regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A reduction in the rating of a security after the
Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the Adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose
money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging
might be unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant
to rules implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a
clearinghouse, which may result in increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures
commission merchant through which the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund may use derivatives to seek income or
capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest rate swaps or municipal bond swaps.
While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a
prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically,
usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the
tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the
purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the
Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate
securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate
securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the
amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory
tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying
municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an
event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally
receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the
Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund may have an obligation
to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of its investment in the
related inverse floater.
The Fund may
enter into shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider
to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a
Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement agreement
will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Adviser monitors
the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s
annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial
institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as
investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued
“inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may
not be advantageous to do so to
11

satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Alternative
Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest a portion of its
total assets in municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum
tax.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state taxing authorities or any court, and
after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state taxing authorities or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to
federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court,
or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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. 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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and
global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types
of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in
value.
Additional Investment
Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.
The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions
using FRNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous
to do so. The Fund may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the investment adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly
speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding
12
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
below-investment-grade securities. The investment adviser does not
expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator
Definition
With respect to the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an
exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as
a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the
Fund, calculated at the annual rate of 0.48% of the first $500 million, 0.455% of the next $250 million, 0.425% of the next $250 million, 0.38% of the next $500 million, 0.37% of the next $500 million, 0.355% of the next $500 million, 0.35% of the
next $1.5 billion, and 0.33% of the excess over $4 billion. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory
fees, if any.
Prior to May 15, 2020, the
Adviser received a fee from the Fund, calculated at the annual rate of 0.60% of the first $200 million, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million, 0.35% of the next
$4 billion, and 0.33% of the amount over $5 billion of average daily net assets.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum
4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of
Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of income that is exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax to the extent they are derived from California’s municipal obligations.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund
generally distributes long-term and short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund's normal investment
activities and cash flows. During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a
period of time. Even though the Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
The financial highlights information
presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial
history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the class of shares, and the seven-month period ended February 29, 2020. 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, are included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor. Effective August 31, 2019, the Fund
changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the end of February.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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

|
■
|
Employer Sponsored

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
All Funds,

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

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each shareholder must
still meet the Fund’s eligibility requirements applicable to the share class to be purchased.

Systematic Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class

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

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.

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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX or Class S of the same Fund.
|

or any part of any purchase or exchange order.

any sales charge waivers or exceptions.

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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.

(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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 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.

required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.

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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.

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 fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 34% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The Fund invests in municipal securities issued by
the governments of states, their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities and
authorities. These primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations), interests in municipal leases, and tax-exempt commercial paper. Municipal securities generally are
classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is
payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The Fund selects investments without regard to the alternative minimum tax (AMT).
Up to 100% of the securities the Fund buys may be
high-yield, lower-grade fixed income securities, including those below investment-grade (commonly called “junk bonds”). Under normal market conditions, however, the Fund intends to invest approximately 50% to 70% of its total assets in
these types of securities. Below-investment-grade debt securities are those rated below “BBB-” by S&P Global Ratings or “Baa3” by Moody’s or comparable ratings by other nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Fund’s Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in
which case the Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
Since the Fund may invest in lower-rated and
below-investment-grade securities without limit, the Fund’s investments should be considered speculative. The Fund does not limit its investments to securities of a particular maturity range, and may hold both short-and long-term
securities. However, the Fund currently expects to focus on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change.
The Fund can
invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 35% of its total assets to the effects of
leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse purchase agreements, which also create
leverage.
The Fund can borrow money
to purchase additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
In selecting securities for the Fund, the portfolio
managers look at a wide range of municipal sectors, coupons, and revenue sources for high-yield, tax-exempt municipal securities that offer high-income opportunities, might be overlooked by other investors and funds (including, in particular,
unrated securities or securities of smaller issuers), or are special situations that provide opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the
Fund, but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of
Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss
of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund
can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the
security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating, for any reason, can also
reduce the market value of the issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market
expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable
security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the
debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a
security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected
maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at
a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near
historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and could cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns may cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market
for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
Because the Fund can invest without limit in
below-investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in
significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk.
Municipal
Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s
total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not
considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus.
Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a
particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which
are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and
performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on
investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories,
Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana
Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including
natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations.
Certain of the municipalities in which the Fund
invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A credit rating downgrade relating
to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and interest, the market values and
marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
The Fund expects to invest a significant percentage
of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities. In the past several years, securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies and instrumentalities have been subject to multiple credit downgrades as a result of Puerto Rico’s ongoing
fiscal challenges, growing debt obligations and uncertainty about its ability to make full repayment on these obligations. More recently, certain issuers of Puerto Rican municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on
obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments or defaults may be likely to occur in the future. Such developments could adversely impact the Fund’s performance. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and outside
bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher
price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a
larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be
illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative
investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or
no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market
and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail further risks and costs.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality. Because
inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value of a conventional fixed-rate
municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of
fixed-rate securities.
An inverse
floater is created when a fixed-rate municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the
underlying municipal bond, and the inverse floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the
Fund. The short-term floating rate securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating
rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate
securities. Inverse floaters produce less income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the
inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of
the underlying municipal bond, any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and
the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of
the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund will not expose more than 35% of its total
assets to the effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held
by the Fund to the total assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate
securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely
to be eliminated entirely under adverse market conditions.
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the
municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt
should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws,
adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple
asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester High Yield Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund,
which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and
the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the
Fund. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to
May 24, 2019 are those of the Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R5 and Class R6 shares of the Fund have less
than a calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R5 and Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R5 and
Class
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
R6 shares’ returns of the Fund will be different from Class A
returns of the Fund and the predecessor fund as they have different 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 and Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is
part of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6
shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes
them available to retail investors.
Tax Information
The Fund’s
distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and state and local taxes. The Fund also may make distributions that are
taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its
5
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund
expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund
selects investments without regard to this type of tax treatment.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” See, for example, tobacco bonds with an appropriation pledge as discussed in this prospectus. The Fund
can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual,
and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers,
investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other investments.
The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term
municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values
of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates
rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus,
interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest
rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to
|
|
measure the expected
percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if
a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s
value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects
lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund
may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium,
accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
|
may increase the
security’s price volatility. Interest-only and principal- only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those
investments.
|
Fixed-Income
Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities.
Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which
are near historic lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large
blocks of bonds to meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant
percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable
prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment
account managed similarly to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in
an issuer’s credit rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of
liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market
size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities
markets.
Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories,
Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the
Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and
developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the Fund’s municipal obligations and
other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Significant Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal
Securities. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund expects to invest a significant percentage of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities,
which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. The Adviser expects the Fund to remain invested in municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, subject to market, economic and
political conditions. Puerto Rico experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations,
underfunded government retirement systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico
municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic
and fiscal environment, certain securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. The Fund expects to invest some of these securities, which may subject the Fund to additional risks as
described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and
outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active
trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.

Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the
payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation
related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.

“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an
unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do
not pledge the full faith, credit or taxing power of the state.
Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced
certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have
the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more
relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases
the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or
other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as
the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and
8
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
changes in interest rates. These real estate risks may be heightened
in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects. These expenses may increase the overall expenses of the Fund and
reduce its returns.
In addition, these
projects can have more taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally
are limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if
larger taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities
selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change
from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
The Fund can
invest without limit in high yield, lower-rated municipal securities (measured at the time of purchase), including municipal securities rated below “investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade”
securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the
Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P Global Ratings (meaning BBB+, BBB or BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered
“investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings to a security, the Adviser uses the lowest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that
are “pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have
essentially the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating
from one or more rating agencies.
Unrated
Securities. Because the Fund purchases securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the Adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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 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 Adviser to be comparable to
rated investment-grade or
below-investment-grade securities. The 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 Adviser will normally take into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, the financial resources of the issuer, the underlying source of funds for debt
service on a security, the issuer’s sensitivity to economic conditions and trends, any operating history of the facility financed by the obligation, the degree of community support for the financed facility, the capabilities of the
issuer’s management, and regulatory factors affecting the issuer or the particular facility.
A reduction in the rating of a security after the
Fund buys it will not require the Fund to dispose of the security. However, the Adviser will evaluate such downgraded securities to determine whether to keep them in the Fund’s portfolio.
Because the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets
in below-investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in
significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have higher risk profiles.
Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have
more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities,
and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such
|
9
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
|
provisions to redeem
the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest a portion of its total assets in
municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the
Internal Revenue Service or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt
municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued
“inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may
not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the
Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or
counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize
little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under
financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse, which may result in
increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures commission merchant through which
the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund
may use derivatives to seek income or capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest
rate swaps or municipal bond swaps. While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a
prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically,
usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the
tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the
short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the
market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the
underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the
inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise
of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the
Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory
tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying
municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an
event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally
receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the
Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection
with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund may
have an obligation to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of its
investment in the related inverse floater.
The Fund may enter into
shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide
cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement
agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Adviser
monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s
annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial
institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as
investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
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.
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 which are not specifically related to
the particular issuer, such as
11
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
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, acts
of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively
implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset
classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Additional Investment Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.
The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions
using FRNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous
to do so. The Fund may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.

Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the Adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly speculative
and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities. The
Adviser does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of
Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With respect to
the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject
to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the Fund, calculated at the annual
rate of 0.60% of the first $200 million, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million, 0.35% of the next $10 billion, and 0.34% of the amount over $11 billion of
average daily net assets. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum
4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of
Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of tax-exempt income.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital
13
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
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.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
The financial highlights information
presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial
history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the class of shares, and the seven-month period ended February 29, 2020. 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, are included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor. Effective August 31, 2019, the
Fund changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the end of February.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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

|
Employer Sponsored

|
■

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares.

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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):
■
|
Class A 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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund
■
|
Investors who
purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in
exchange for servicing that account.
|
■
|
Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates:
|
■
|

least $1 million; or
|

with at least 100
employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
|
■
|
that execute plan
level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account per Fund.
|
■

Any investor who
purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee,
custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.

Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a different Fund through the same account in which the Investor Class Shares were first purchased.
|
■

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

Former shareholders

In addition, investors may acquire Class A
shares without paying an initial sales charge in connection with:
■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and
|
■
|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.

Front-end load
discounts available at Edward Jones: Breakpoints, Rights of Accumulation & Letters of Intent
|
■
|
Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

Class C shares of
Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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

■ Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
■ You have already provided proper bank
information.
Redemptions from Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer Sponsored IRAs may be initiated only in writing and require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.

*Class
R5 and R6 shares may only be redeemed through a financial intermediary or by telephone at (800) 959-4246.

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

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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.
|
■

request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic Redemption Plan.
|
■
|
Modify or terminate
any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
|

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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.

“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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.

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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.

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 fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 36% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The Fund selects investments without regard to the
alternative minimum tax (AMT). Additionally, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in California municipal securities and in derivatives and other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to such securities. These securities are generally issued by the state and its political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term
(more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations) and interests in municipal leases. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s
pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific
excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include securities issued by issuers located outside of California, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities
and authorities, if the interest on such securities is not subject to California and federal income tax. These securities are “California municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus.
The Fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average
portfolio maturity of five years or less, however, it can buy securities with maturities of more than five years. The Fund may invest a substantial percentage of its assets in “callable” securities, which allow the issuer to redeem them
before their maturity date.
Most of the
securities the Fund buys are “investment-grade,” although it can invest as much as 15% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (sometimes called “junk bonds”). This restriction is applied at the time of
purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Fund’s Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), has changed its assessment of the
security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s
holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Investment-grade securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (S&P) (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the
Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.
There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund can
invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 5% of its total assets to the effects of leverage
from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase
additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of California municipal securities from different issuers, including state agencies and municipalities, as well as unrated bonds and securities of smaller issuers that provide high current income and might be
overlooked by other investors. The portfolio managers also look at coupon interest or accretion rates, current market interest rates, callability and call prices that might change the effective maturity of particular securities and the overall
portfolio, and securities with various maturities so that portions of the portfolio will mature at different times to reduce share price volatility and reinvestment risk. The portfolio managers may consider selling a security if any of these factors
no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund, but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit
risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest
and principal payments on the security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit
rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit
spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause
prepayments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the
security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than
non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the
security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near
historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns may cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
(also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or
unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating
downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated
with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility
or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to
15% of its total assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of
purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating
downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or
related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and
default risk. If the Fund has more than 15% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer
exceeds the restriction.
Risks of
California Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of
the State of California and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Budgetary stress on the state or its municipalities, changes in federal, state and local legislation or policy, erosion of
the tax base, the effects of terrorist acts, or natural disasters or environmental issues (including drought and wildfires), or other economic, legislative, political or social issues may have a significant negative impact on the value of California
municipal securities.
Risks of
Investing in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. These investments also are considered to be “California municipal securities” for purposes of this
prospectus. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the
issuers of such obligations.
Certain of
the municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade
securities. A credit rating downgrade relating to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of
principal and interest, the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
Risks of Shorter-Term Securities. Normally, when interest rates change, the values of shorter-term debt securities change less than the values of securities with longer maturities. The Fund tries to reduce the volatility of its share prices by seeking
to maintain a shorter average effective portfolio maturity. However, shorter-term securities may have lower yields than longer-term securities. Shorter-term securities are also subject to extension
and reinvestment risk. The Fund is subject to extension risk when
principal payments on a debt security occur at a slower rate than expected, potentially extending the average life of the security. For securities with a call date in the near future, there is the risk that an increase in interest rates could result
in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer may effectively change a short- or intermediate-term security into a longer term security, which could
have the effect of locking in a below-market interest rate on the security, increasing the security’s duration, making the security more vulnerable to interest rate risk, reducing the security’s market value and increasing the
Fund’s average effective portfolio maturity. Under such circumstances, because the values of longer term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to interest rate changes than shorter term securities, the Fund’s volatility
could increase. Reinvestment risk is the risk that if interest rates fall the Fund may need to invest the proceeds of redeemed securities in securities with lower interest rates.
Municipal
Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s
total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not
considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus.
Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a
particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which
are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and
performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on
investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher
price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a
larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be
illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for
unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules
implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail
further risks and costs.
Inverse
Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of
comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value
of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates,
the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more
quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.
An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate
municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse
floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate
securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining
amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less
income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the
Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the
market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund
could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount
of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total
assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par
value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
adverse market conditions.
Alternative Minimum
Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the
time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a
court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could
be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial
markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester Limited Term California Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund
into the Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the
predecessor fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with
characteristics relevant to the Fund. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to
May 24, 2019 are those of the Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of the Fund have less than a
calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6 shares’ returns of
the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

With respect to
Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other
institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part
of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for
Class R6 shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares
and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax and state income tax for individual residents of California. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The
Fund also may make distributions that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund
selects investments without regard to this type of tax treatment.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” The Fund can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the
United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual, and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to
the issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers, investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other
investments.
California municipal securities
are municipal securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and California individual income tax. The term “California municipal securities” also
includes debt securities of the governments of certain possessions, territories and commonwealths of the United States if the interest on such securities is not subject to federal and California individual income tax. For additional discussion of
the special considerations relating to the Fund’s investments in California and the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, see the SAI. Some debt securities, such as zero-coupon securities, do not pay current interest. Other
securities may be subject to calls by the issuer (to redeem the debt) or to prepayment prior to their stated maturity.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values
of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates
rise, the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus,
interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations.
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
|
“Zero-coupon”
or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a
change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in
general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which
is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects
lower-grade bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund
may need to reinvest
|
|
the proceeds at a
lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities
could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities
are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
|
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline
unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic
lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to
meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the
Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely
affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly
to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit
rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse
credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market
size.
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
Because market makers help stabilize the market through their
financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities markets.
Risks of Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and
the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic,
social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the
Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal Securities. The Fund may also invest in Puerto Rican municipal securities, which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. Puerto Rico
experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations, underfunded government retirement
systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico municipal securities have filed for
bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic and fiscal environment, certain
securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. Investments in such securities may subject the Fund to additional risks as described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in
Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future
restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and
costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to
recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the
payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation
related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.
■
|
“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an

Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced
certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have
the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more
relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases
the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or
other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as
the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes
in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and
changes in interest rates. These real estate risks may be heightened in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects.
These expenses may increase the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, these projects can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally are limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to
pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
In California, these special tax or special
assessment bonds also are referred to as Mello-Roos Bonds. The bonds are issued under the California Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act to finance the building of roads, sewage treatment plants and other projects designed to improve the
infrastructure of a community. Mello-Roos bonds are primarily secured by real estate taxes levied on property located in the community. The timely payment of principal and interest on the bonds depends on the property owner’s
continuing ability to pay the real estate taxes. Various factors could negatively affect this ability including a declining economy or real estate market in California.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities
selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change
from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings (S& P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or
BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings
to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating from one or
more rating agencies.

Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have higher risk profiles.
Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have
more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities,
and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
The Fund can invest up to 15% of its total assets in
below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed
its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this
restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to
below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 15% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase
additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction. Below-investment-grade securities are subject to greater credit risks than investment-grade securities.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund may purchase securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the investment adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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.
Determining the “Average Effective
Maturity” of the Fund’s Portfolio. In general, when interest rates change, debt securities having shorter maturities fluctuate in value less than securities with longer maturities. The Fund tries to
reduce the volatility of its share prices by seeking to maintain an average effective portfolio maturity of five years or less. Because of events affecting the bond markets and interest rate changes, the maturity of the portfolio might not meet the
target at all times. The average effective portfolio maturity rate measures the “average” maturity of all of its securities on a “dollar-weighted” basis, meaning that larger securities holdings have a greater effect on
overall portfolio maturity than smaller holdings. The Fund can therefore hold securities with stated and effective maturities of more or less than five years. Generally, the Adviser does not buy securities with stated maturities of more than five
years if the Fund’s average effective portfolio maturity is more than five years.
The “effective” maturity of a security
is not always the same as the stated maturity date. A number of factors may cause the “effective” maturity to be shorter than the stated maturity. For example, a bond’s effective maturity might be deemed to be shorter (for pricing
and trading purposes) than its stated maturity as a result of differences between its coupon interest rate and current market interest rates, whether the bond is callable (that means the issuer can pay off the bond prior to its stated maturity), the
rate of accretion of discounts on the bond, and other factors such as mandatory put provisions and scheduled sinking fund payments.
When interest rates change, securities that have an
effective maturity that is shorter than their stated maturity tend to behave like securities having those shorter maturity dates. However, those securities might not behave as expected, and the Fund might not always be successful in maintaining its
average effective portfolio maturity at five years or less or in reducing the volatility of its share prices.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more
than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be
illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a
derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a
result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under
financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse, which may result in
increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures commission merchant through which
the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund
may use derivatives to seek income or capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest
rate swaps or municipal bond swaps. While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
The Fund can invest up to one third of its total
assets in derivatives to seek increased income or to try to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a
prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically,
usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the
tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the
underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the
inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise
of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the
Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory
tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying
municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to
11
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been
tendered for repurchase. Following such an event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the
inverse floater (the Fund) generally receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is
generally required to contribute cash to the Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in
which instance the Fund may have an obligation to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial
portion, or even all, of its investment in the related inverse floater.
The Fund may enter into
shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide
cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement
agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Adviser
monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s
annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial
institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as
investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to
unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued “inverse
floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently participates in a line
of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may
not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest a portion of its total assets in
municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and
after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to
federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court,
or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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. 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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and
global economy generally. Such circumstances may
12
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the
Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may
decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Additional Investment Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in “when-issued” and “delayed-delivery” transactions.
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond.
The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions
using FRNs may be limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous
to do so. The Fund may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of
investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is
required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be
required to accept cash or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to
the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the investment adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly
speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade
securities. The investment adviser does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to
13
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
provide discretionary investment management services, investment
advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of
Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With respect to
the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject
to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the
Fund, calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% of the first $100 million, 0.45% of the next $150 million, 0.40% of the next $1.75 billion, and 0.39% of the amount over $2 billion of average daily net assets. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall
be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum
2.50% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category IV Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of
Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of income that is exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax to the extent they are derived from California’s municipal obligations.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the
Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
The financial highlights information
presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial
history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the class of shares, and the seven-month period ended February 29, 2020. 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, are included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor. Effective August 31, 2019, the
Fund changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the end of February.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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.
|
■

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
All Funds,

|
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):
■
|
Class A shares:

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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■

Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

Class C shares of
Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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.
|
■

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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.

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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.

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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder
Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most
shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of
these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual
copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining Additional Information
More information may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI,
a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders contain additional
information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also files
its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT.

If you already elected to receive
shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Fund electronically by contacting your financial
intermediary (such as a broker-dealer or bank) or, if you are a direct investor, by enrolling at invesco.com/edelivery.
You may elect to receive all future reports
in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you can call
(800) 959-4246 to let the Fund know you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with your financial intermediary or all funds held with the fund
complex if you invest directly with the Fund.

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 for the contractual period
above and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 17% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
The Fund selects investments without regard to the
alternative minimum tax (AMT). Additionally, under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in New Jersey municipal securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that
have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
These securities are generally issued by the state
and its political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations) and interests in municipal
leases. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue
obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include securities
issued by issuers located outside of New Jersey, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, if the interest on such securities is not subject to New Jersey and federal income tax.
These securities are “New Jersey municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus.
Most of the securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade,” although it can invest as much as 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (commonly called “junk bonds”). This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue
to hold a security whose credit
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security,
after the Fund’s Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser), has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s
holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Investment-grade securities are rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally recognized statistical
rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser, to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in which case the Adviser
internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be
no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund does not limit its investments to
securities of a particular maturity range, and may hold both short-and long-term securities. However, the Fund currently focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change. The Fund may invest in
obligations that pay interest at fixed or variable rates.
The Fund can
invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage
from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase
additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of New Jersey municipal securities that provide high current income, have favorable credit characteristics or are special situations that provide opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider
selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more
volatile and thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater
extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay
interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer’s securities.
“Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to default more frequently.
Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than expected. Extension risk is
particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could
have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the Fund may be required to
reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer may redeem the security
prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity. The Fund may need to
reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near
historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns may cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market
for below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its total
assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund
may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other
market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the
Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the
restriction.
Risks of New Jersey
Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in New Jersey municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of the State of
New Jersey and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Budgetary stress on the state or its municipalities, changes in federal, state and local legislation or policy, erosion of the tax
base, the effects of terrorist acts, natural disasters or environmental issues, or other economic, legislative, political or social issues may have a significant negative impact on the value of New Jersey municipal securities.
Risks of Investing in U.S. Territories,
Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana
Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. These investments are considered to be “New Jersey municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus. Accordingly, the Fund may
be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such
obligations.
Certain of the
municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A
credit rating downgrade relating to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and
interest, the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
The Fund expects to invest a significant percentage
of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities. In the past several years, securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies and instrumentalities have been subject to multiple credit downgrades as a result of Puerto Rico’s
ongoing
fiscal challenges, growing debt obligations and uncertainty about its
ability to make full repayment on these obligations. More recently, certain issuers of Puerto Rican municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments or
defaults may be likely to occur in the future. Such developments could adversely impact the Fund’s performance. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is
uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Municipal
Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s
total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not
considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus.
Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a
particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which
are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and
performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on
investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest
payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption
obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher
price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a
larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Non-Diversification. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Fund may invest a greater portion of its assets in the securities of a
single issuer than if it were a “diversified” fund. To the extent that the Fund invests a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, the Fund is more subject to the risks associated with and developments
affecting that issuer than a fund that invests more widely.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as
expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size
of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules implemented under financial reform
legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail further risks and costs.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit quality. Because
inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security
of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates,
the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more
quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.
An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate
municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse
floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate
securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining
amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less
income when short-term interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the
Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the
market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund
could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount
of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total
assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par
value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
adverse market conditions.
Alternative Minimum
Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the
time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a
court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could
be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial
markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester New Jersey Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the Fund,
which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor fund and
the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the
Fund. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to
May 24, 2019 are those of the Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of the Fund have less than a
calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6 shares’ returns of
the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

With respect to
Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other
institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part
of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for
Class R6 shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares
and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax and state income tax for individual residents of New Jersey. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The
Fund also may make distributions that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. The Fund
selects investments without regard to this type of tax treatment.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” The Fund can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the
United States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual, and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to
the issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers, investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other
investments.
The Fund can buy both long-term
and short-term municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.
New Jersey municipal securities are municipal
securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and New Jersey state income tax. The term “New Jersey municipal securities” may also include securities
issued by issuers located outside of New Jersey, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, if the interest on such securities is not subject to New Jersey and federal income tax. For additional discussion of the special considerations
relating to the Fund’s investments in New Jersey and the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, see the SAI. Some debt securities, such as zero-coupon securities, do not pay current interest. Other securities may be subject to calls
by the issuer (to redeem the debt) or to prepayment prior to their stated maturity.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values of
debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates rise,
the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the
Fund’s investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
|
debt securities when
interest rates change; thus, interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped” securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks
associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio
resulting from a change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1%
increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from
maturity, which is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects lower-grade
bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans that underlie these fixed-income securities more quickly than
|
|
expected, thereby
causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for
gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a
security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change
the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
|
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline
unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic
lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to
meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the
Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely
affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly
to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit
rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse
credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide an
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets
in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services, further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease
liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities markets.
Risks of Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and
the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic,
social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the
Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Significant Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal
Securities. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund expects to invest a significant percentage of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities,
which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. The Adviser expects the Fund to remain invested in municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, subject to market, economic and
political conditions. Puerto Rico experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations,
underfunded government retirement systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico
municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic
and fiscal environment, certain securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. The Fund expects to invest some of these securities, which may subject the Fund to additional risks as
described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and
outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the municipal government
has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future
years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the
Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the
payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation
related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.
■
|
“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources:
|
8
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
|
(i) a dedicated
revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith,
credit or taxing power of the state.
Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced
certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have
the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more
relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases
the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential,
commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed
by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of
related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition,
limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and changes in interest rates. These real estate risks may be heightened in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon
foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects. These expenses may increase the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, these projects can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally are limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to
pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Ratings of Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in evaluating the credit risk of securities
selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Ratings and market value may change
from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings (S& P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or
BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings
to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating from one or
more rating agencies.
Risks of
Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also
have
9
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
higher risk profiles. Below-investment-grade securities are considered
to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the obligation and may have more credit risk than investment-grade
securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income from these securities, and the Fund’s net asset value may
be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions. Adverse changes in an issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of
below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed
its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this
restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to
below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase
additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction. Below-investment-grade securities are subject to greater credit risks than investment-grade securities.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund may purchase securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the investment adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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.
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest a portion of its total assets in
municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and
after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to
federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court,
or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued
“inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to
liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Risks of Non-Diversification. The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Fund may invest a greater portion of
its assets in the securities of a single issuer or limited number of issuers than a “diversified” fund. To the extent that the Fund invests a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or limited number of
issuers, the Fund is more subject to the risks associated with and developments affecting that issuer or limited number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be
unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant to
rules implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a
clearinghouse, which may result in increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures
commission merchant through which the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund may use derivatives to seek income or
capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest rate swaps or municipal bond swaps.
While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the
inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the
short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus
accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically, usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase
price. If the remarketing agent is unable to successfully re-sell the tendered short-term floating rate securities, a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price
of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the
underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the
inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise
of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the
Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower
11
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will
also be more significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in
interest rates and to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal
bonds when long-term interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to
as “mandatory tender events” or “tender option termination events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value
of the underlying municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase.
Following such an event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the
Fund) generally receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to
contribute cash to the Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund
may have an obligation to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of
its investment in the related inverse floater.
The Fund may enter into
shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide
cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement
agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Adviser
monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s
annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial
institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its
Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as
investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of credit or
other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters, discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and
global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types
of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in
value.
Additional Investment
Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are
12
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
available and for which a market exists, but which are not available
for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value
as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond. The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions using FRNs may be
limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous to do so. The Fund
may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the investment adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly
speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade
securities. The investment adviser does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include, for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of
the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies
and policies.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of
Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With respect to
the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject
to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and
13
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.
Adviser Compensation
The Adviser receives a fee from the
Fund, calculated at the annual rate of 0.60% of the first $200 million, 0.55% of the next $100 million, 0.50% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of the next $250 million, 0.40% of the next $250 million, and 0.35% of the amount over $1 billion of
average daily net assets. The advisory fee payable by the Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with the Adviser. Invesco, not the Fund, pays sub-advisory fees, if any.
A discussion regarding the basis for the
Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement and investment sub-advisory agreements of the Fund is available in the Fund’s most recent annual or semi-annual report to shareholders.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum
4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus. Purchases of
Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of income that is exempt from federal income tax and New Jersey personal income tax to the extent they are derived from New Jersey’s municipal obligations.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the
Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund
The financial highlights information
presented for the Fund includes the financial history of the predecessor fund, which was reorganized into the Fund after the close of business on May 24, 2019. The financial highlights show the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s financial
history for the past five fiscal years or, if shorter, the applicable period of operations since the inception of the class of shares, and the seven-month period ended February 29, 2020. 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, are included in the Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request. The information for fiscal years ended prior to May 24, 2019 has been audited by the predecessor fund’s auditor. Effective August 31, 2019, the
Fund changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to the end of February.

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. Please
consult your financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
Unless otherwise provided, the following are certain
defined terms used throughout this prospectus:

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

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Premier

|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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):
■
|
Class A 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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund
■
|
Investors who
purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s account in

Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates:
|
■

purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover, transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit Plan where the account being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial intermediary, trustee,
custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an affiliate thereof.

|
■
|
Any investor
purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which the Funds’ distributor has agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial intermediary
will make Class A shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
■
|
Former shareholders
of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Main Street Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|
In addition, investors may acquire Class A
shares without paying an initial sales charge in connection with:
■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and
|
■
|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Waivers Available Through Certain Financial
Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The financial intermediary-specific waivers,
discounts, policies regarding exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, and minimum account balances that follow are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below. Please contact your financial
intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements.
Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial
intermediary (and not the Funds) to ensure that you obtain proper financial intermediary-specific waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. Please contact your financial intermediary
for more information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for such
arrangements. The terms and availability of these waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time.

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge
Exceptions
The following types of accounts qualify for reduced
sales charges or sales charge exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:

|
an individual account
owner;
|
2.
|
immediate family of
the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren; the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or
grandchildren; the individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
|
3.
|
a Retirement and
Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit of an individual account owner; and
|
4.
|
a Coverdell Education
Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account must be established by an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the beneficiary thereof).
|
Alternatively, an Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or Employer Sponsored IRA may be eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a reduced applicable initial sales charge for a new purchase based on the total value of the current
purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s participants if:
a)
|
the employer or plan
sponsor submits all contributions for all participating employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds will not accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual participants);
|
b)
|
each transmittal is
accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
|
c)
|
if the Invesco Funds
are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan participants, (i) the employer or plan sponsor notifies Invesco Distributors or its designee in writing that the separate accounts of all plan participants should be
linked, and (ii) all new participant accounts are established by submitting an appropriate Account Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution transmittal.
|
Participant accounts in a retirement plan that are
eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so for the benefit of an individual account owner.
In all instances, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge exceptions and to provide all necessary documentation of such facts
in order to qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge exceptions. For additional information on linking accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.

Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, as

Rights of Accumulation
Purchasers that qualify for ROA may combine new purchases of
Class A shares of a Fund with shares of the Fund or other open-end Invesco Funds currently owned (Class A, C, IB, IC, P, R, S or Y) for the purpose of qualifying for the lower initial sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The
applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase will be based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares owned based on their current public offering price. The Funds’ transfer agent may automatically link certain
accounts registered in the same name with the same taxpayer identification number for the purpose of qualifying you for lower initial sales charge rates.
Letters of Intent
Under a LOI, you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of
Class A shares of one or more Funds during a 13-month period. The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full amount committed to in the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your
account will generally be assessed the higher initial sales charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount actually invested. Shares equal in value to 5% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow for this purpose.
Reinstatement Following Redemption
If you redeem any class of shares of a Fund, you may reinvest all or a
portion of the proceeds from the redemption (and may include that amount necessary to acquire a fractional Share to round off his or her purchase to the next full Share) in the same share class of any Fund within 180 days of the redemption without
paying an initial sales charge. Class P, S, and Y redemptions may be reinvested into Class A shares without an initial sales charge.
This reinstatement privilege does not apply to a
purchase made through a regularly scheduled automatic investment plan, such as a purchase by a regularly scheduled payroll deduction or transfer from a bank account.
This reinstatement privilege shall be suspended for
the period of time in which a purchase block is in place on a shareholder’s account. Please see “Purchase Blocking Policy” discussed below.
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement
privilege, you must inform your financial adviser or the Funds’ transfer agent that you wish to do so at the time of your reinvestment.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any shares of a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18
months after the date of purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with the exception of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the
exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs on Class C Shares
Class C shares are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares during
the first year since your purchase has been made you will be assessed a 1% CDSC, 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
While Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are not subject
to a CDSC, if you acquired shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund through an exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will continue to be subject to
that same CDSC. Conversely, 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, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing a CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of
their original purchase price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem
shares on which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their purchase.
CDSC Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not
pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
■
|
If you participate in
the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month period.
|
■
|
If you redeem shares
to pay account fees.
|
■
|
If you are the
executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those shares.
|
There are other
circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such circumstances, please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares” in each Fund’s
SAI.
Shares acquired through the reinvestment
of dividends and distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
The following share classes are sold without a
CDSC:

Invesco Short Term Bond Fund

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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.
|
■

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder
Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most
shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of
these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual
copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.

Example. This Example
is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example
assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not include commissions and/or other forms of compensation that investors may pay on
transactions in Class Y and Class R6 shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, the
Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, and
as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal
individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax. The policy stated in the foregoing sentence may not be changed without shareholder approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In complying with this 80% investment requirement, the Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund’s direct investments that
are counted toward the 80% investment requirement.
As a fundamental policy, the Fund may invest up to
20% of its net assets in securities subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Additionally, under normal market conditions, and as a fundamental policy, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in Pennsylvania municipal securities, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
These securities are generally issued by the state
and its political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, counties, agencies and authorities) and primarily include municipal bonds (long-term (more than one-year) obligations), municipal notes (short-term obligations) and interests in municipal
leases. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue
obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. The securities in which the Fund invests may also include securities
issued by issuers located outside of Pennsylvania, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, or by their agencies, instrumentalities and authorities, if the interest on such securities is not subject to Pennsylvania and federal income
tax. These securities are “Pennsylvania municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus.
Most of the securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade,” although it can invest as much as 25% of its total assets in below-investment-grade securities (commonly called “junk bonds”). This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue
to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Fund’s Adviser, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As
a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Investment-grade securities
are
1
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
rated in one of the four highest rating categories of nationally
recognized statistical rating organizations, such as S&P Global Ratings (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). The Fund also invests in unrated securities, in
which case the Adviser internally assigns ratings to those securities, after assessing their credit quality and other factors, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
To the extent the Fund invests in pre-refunded
municipal securities collateralized by U.S. government securities, the Fund may treat those securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities even if the issuer itself has a below-investment-grade rating.
The Fund does not limit its investments to
securities of a particular maturity range, and may hold both short-and long-term securities. However, the Fund currently expects to focus on longer-term securities to seek higher yields. This portfolio strategy is subject to change. The Fund may
invest in obligations that pay interest at fixed or variable rates.
The Fund can
invest in inverse floaters, a variable rate obligation, to seek increased income and return. The Fund’s investment in inverse floaters entails a degree of leverage. The Fund can expose up to 20% of its total assets to the effects of leverage
from its investments in inverse floaters. The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters are included for purposes of the 80% policy described above. The Fund can also engage in reverse repurchase agreements, which also create leverage.
The Fund can borrow money to purchase
additional securities, another form of leverage. Although the amount of borrowing will vary from time to time, the amount of leveraging from borrowings will not exceed one-third of the Fund’s total assets.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio
managers generally look at a wide range of Pennsylvania municipal securities that provide high current income, have favorable credit characteristics or are special situations that provide opportunities for value. The portfolio managers may consider
selling a security if any of these factors no longer applies to a security purchased for the Fund but are not required to do so.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during
times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Risks of Investing in Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may be subject to interest rate risk, duration risk, credit risk, credit spread risk, extension risk, reinvestment risk and prepayment risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing
interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and therefore, those debt securities may be worth less than the
amount the Fund paid for them or valued them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given
that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities will be more volatile and
thus more likely to decline in price, and to a greater extent, in a rising interest rate environment than shorter-duration debt securities. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the
security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer’s credit
rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the
issuer’s securities. “Credit spread” is the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality. There is a risk that credit spreads may increase when the market expects lower-grade bonds to
default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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. Extension risk is the risk that an increase in interest rates could cause prepayments on a debt security to be repaid at a slower rate than
expected. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a
decision by the issuer could have the effect of lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall the
Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer
may redeem the security prior to the expected maturity or that borrowers may repay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the expected maturity.
The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. During
times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books and could experience a loss. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to meet shareholder
redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices, particularly for lower-rated and unrated securities. An unexpected increase in redemptions by Fund shareholders (including requests from shareholders who
may own a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by general market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at
a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. As of the date of this prospectus, interest rates in the U.S. are near
historically low levels, increasing the exposure of bond investors to the risks associated with rising interest rates.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns may cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all). A lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt
securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Risks of Below-Investment-Grade Securities. As compared to investment-grade debt securities, below-investment-grade debt securities (also referred to as “junk” bonds), whether rated or unrated, may be subject to greater price fluctuations and
increased credit risk, as the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. Credit rating
2
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose
securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. The market for
below-investment-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore these securities may be harder to value or sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
Because the Fund can invest up to 25% of its total
assets in below- investment-grade securities, the Fund’s credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund
may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other
market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers
whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the
Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the
restriction.
Risks of Pennsylvania
Municipal Securities. Because the Fund invests primarily in Pennsylvania municipal securities, the value of its portfolio investments will be highly sensitive to events affecting the financial stability of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its municipalities, agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities that issue those securities. Budgetary stress on the Commonwealth or its municipalities, changes in federal, state, and local legislation or
policy, erosion of the tax base, the effects of terrorist acts, natural disasters or environmental issues, or other economic, legislative, political, or social issues may have a significant negative impact on the value of Pennsylvania municipal
securities.
Risks of Investing in U.S.
Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the
Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. These investments are considered to be “Pennsylvania municipal securities” for purposes of this prospectus.
Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic, social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of
such obligations.
Certain of the
municipalities in which the Fund invests, including Puerto Rico, currently experience significant financial difficulties. As a result, securities issued by certain of these municipalities are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. A
credit rating downgrade relating to, default by, or insolvency or bankruptcy of, one or several municipal security issuers of a state, territory, commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests could affect the payment of principal and
interest, the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of such state, territory, commonwealth or possession.
The Fund expects to invest a significant percentage
of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities. In the past several years, securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies and instrumentalities have been subject to multiple credit downgrades as a result of Puerto Rico’s ongoing
fiscal challenges, growing debt obligations and uncertainty about its ability to make full repayment on these obligations. More recently, certain issuers of Puerto Rican municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on
obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments or defaults may be likely to occur in the future. Such developments could adversely impact the Fund’s performance. The outcome
of any debt restructuring, both within and outside bankruptcy
proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Municipal
Securities Focus Risk. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that investment of more than 25% of a fund’s
total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases, special assessment and special tax bonds) are not
considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any applicable limits described in this prospectus.
Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk. Legislation that affects the financing of a
particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. States and municipalities are facing rising levels of unfunded pension and similar liabilities, which
are increasing pressure on their budgets. These pressures may adversely affect their ability to meet their outstanding debt obligations, including with respect to investments held by the Fund. As a result, the marketability, liquidity, and
performance of these investments may be negatively impacted. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on
investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Risks of Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. These bonds, which include special assessment, special tax, and tax increment financing bonds, are issued to promote residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. They are exposed to real estate
development-related risks. The bonds could default if the developments failed to progress as anticipated or if taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes specified in the financing plans for a project.
Risks of Tobacco Related Bonds. In 1998, the largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers reached an out of court agreement, known as the Master Settlement Agreement (the MSA), to settle claims against them by 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions. The
tobacco manufacturers agreed to make annual payments to the government entities in exchange for the release of all litigation claims. A number of the states have sold bonds that are backed by those future payments. The Fund may invest in two types
of those bonds: (i) bonds that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA and (ii) bonds that make payments from both the MSA revenue and from an “appropriation pledge” by the state. An “appropriation pledge”
requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to make the payments and is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state.
The settlement payments are based on factors,
including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. Payments could be reduced if consumption decreases, if market share is lost to
non-MSA manufacturers, or if there is a negative outcome in litigation regarding the MSA, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA.
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
tobacco-related bonds without an appropriation pledge that make payments only from a state’s interest in the MSA.
Risks of Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow up to one-third of the value of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. It can use those borrowings for a number of purposes,
including for purchasing securities, which can create “leverage.” In that case, changes in the value of the
3
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
Fund’s investments will have a larger effect on its share price
than if it did not borrow. Borrowing results in interest payments to the lenders and related expenses. Borrowing for investment purposes might reduce the Fund’s return if the yield on the securities purchased is less than those borrowing
costs. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations, for temporary and emergency purposes, or to unwind or contribute to trusts in connection with the Fund’s investment in inverse floaters (instruments also involving the use of
leverage, as discussed below). The Fund currently participates in a line of credit with certain other Invesco Funds for its borrowing.
The Fund can invest in reverse repurchase
agreements. A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale by the Fund of a debt obligation to a party for a specified price, with the simultaneous agreement by the Fund to repurchase that debt obligation from that party on a future date at a higher
price. Similar to a borrowing, reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with cash for investment and operational purposes. When the Fund engages in reverse repurchase agreements, changes in the value of the Fund’s investments will have a
larger effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these transactions due to the effect of leverage. Reverse repurchase agreements create fund expenses and require that the Fund have sufficient cash available to repurchase the debt
obligation when required. Reverse repurchase agreements also involve the risk that the market value of the debt obligation that is the subject of the reverse repurchase agreement could decline significantly below the price at which the Fund is
obligated to repurchase the security.
Risks of
Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, may increase portfolio turnover, may be
illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for
unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. In addition, pursuant to rules
implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a clearinghouse. Entering into a derivative transaction with a clearinghouse may entail
further risks and costs.
Inverse
Floaters. The Fund invests in inverse floating rate securities (inverse floaters) because, under ordinary circumstances, they offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of
comparable maturity and credit quality. Because inverse floaters are leveraged instruments, the value of an inverse floater will change more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and other market fluctuations than the market value
of a conventional fixed-rate municipal security of comparable maturity and credit quality, including the municipal bond underlying an inverse floater. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to
decline more quickly than those of fixed-rate securities.
An inverse floater is created when a fixed-rate
municipal bond is contributed to a trust. The trust issues two separate classes of securities: short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount that represent a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond, and the inverse
floater that represents a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal bond. The trust issues and sells the short-term floating rate securities to third parties and the inverse floater to the Fund. The short-term floating rate
securities generally bear short-term rates of interest. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the trust, such proceeds are first used to pay interest owing to holders of the short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining
amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Inverse floaters produce less
income when short-term
interest rates rise (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and
more income when short-term interest rates fall. Thus, if short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. Additionally, because the principal amount of the
short-term floating rate security is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond, any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the
value of the inverse floater. Upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, a trust may be collapsed and the underlying municipal bond liquidated, and the Fund could lose the entire amount of its investment in the inverse floater and may, in some
cases, be contractually required to pay the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters with any
degree of leverage (measured by comparing the outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities to the par value of the underlying municipal bond). However, the Fund may only expose up to 20% of its total assets to the
effects of leverage from its investments in inverse floaters. This limitation is measured by comparing the aggregate principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities that are related to the inverse floaters held by the Fund to the total
assets of the Fund. Nevertheless, the value of, and income earned on, an inverse floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par
value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond, and are more likely to be eliminated entirely under
adverse market conditions.
Alternative Minimum
Tax Risk. A portion of the Fund’s otherwise tax-exempt income may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk.
The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the
time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a
court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could
be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court, or the non-compliant conduct of a bond 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.
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 which 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,
acts of terrorism or adverse investor sentiment generally. Individual stock prices tend to go up
4
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of
investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
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 Rochester Pennsylvania Municipal Fund (the predecessor fund) as the result of a reorganization of the predecessor fund into the
Fund, which was consummated after the close of business on May 24, 2019 (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the predecessor
fund and the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the predecessor fund’s and the Fund’s performance to that of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics
relevant to the Fund. The Fund’s (and the predecessor fund’s) past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
The returns shown for periods ending on or prior to
May 24, 2019 are those of the Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund. Class A, Class C and Class Y shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively, of the Fund after the
close of business on May 24, 2019. Class A, Class C and Class Y 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.
Class R6 shares of the Fund have less than a
calendar year of performance; therefore, the returns shown are those of the Fund’s and predecessor fund’s Class A shares. Although the Class R6 shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, Class R6 shares’ returns of
the Fund will be different from Class A returns of the Fund and predecessor fund as they have different expenses.
Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.invesco.com/us.

With respect to
Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan assets. All other Employer Sponsored
Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it invests.
For all other
institutional investors purchasing Class R6 shares, the minimum initial investment is $1 million, unless such investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part
of a family of investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial investment.
There are no minimum investment amounts for
Class R6 shares held through retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that (i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares
and makes them available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions primarily are exempt from regular federal income tax and state income tax for individual residents of Pennsylvania. All or a portion of these distributions, however, may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
The Fund also may make distributions that are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer
or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s), Principal Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek tax-free income. The
Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder approval.
The following strategies and types of investments
are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.
The Adviser tries to reduce risks by selecting a
wide variety of municipal investments and by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. However, changes in the overall market prices of municipal securities and the income they pay can occur at any time. The yield and share prices
of the Fund can change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
Municipal
Securities. Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including financing state or local governments, financing specific projects or financing public facilities.
These debt obligations are issued by the state governments, as well as their political subdivisions (such as cities, towns, and counties) and their agencies and authorities. The Fund buys municipal bonds and notes, tax-exempt commercial paper,
certificates of participation in municipal leases and other debt obligations. Municipal securities generally are classified as general or revenue obligations. General obligations are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and
taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue obligations are bonds whose interest is payable only from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, or a specific excise tax or other revenue source. Some
revenue obligations are private activity bonds that pay interest that may be a tax preference item (i.e., interest income that may be subject to the alternative minimum tax) for investors subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
Additionally, there are times when an issuer will
pledge its taxing power to offer additional security to a revenue bond. These securities are sometimes called “double-barreled bonds.” The Fund can also buy securities issued by any commonwealths, territories or possessions of the United
States, or their respective agencies, instrumentalities or authorities, if the interest paid on the security is not subject to federal regular individual, and as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax (in the opinion of bond counsel to the
issuer at the time the security is issued). Because municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers, investments in municipal securities may be riskier than certain other investments.
The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term
municipal securities. Long-term securities have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income. The Fund can buy both long-term and short-term municipal securities. Long-term securities
have a maturity of more than one year. The Fund generally focuses on longer-term securities to seek higher income.
Pennsylvania municipal securities are municipal
securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and, Pennsylvania state income tax. The term “Pennsylvania municipal securities” may also include
securities issued by issuers located outside of Pennsylvania, such as U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, if the interest on such securities is not subject to Pennsylvania and federal income tax. For additional discussion of the special
considerations relating to the Fund’s investments in Pennsylvania and the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions, see the SAI. Some debt securities, such as zero-coupon securities, do not pay current interest. Other securities may be
subject to calls by the issuer (to redeem the debt) or to prepayment prior to their stated maturity.
Municipal securities may be subject to the
following risks:
■
|
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that rising interest rates, or an expectation of rising interest rates in the near future, will cause the values of the Fund’s investments to decline. The values of
debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates rise,
the decrease in values of outstanding debt securities may not be offset by higher income from new investments. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund’s
investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund’s income. The values of longer-term
|
6
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
|
debt securities
usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change; thus, interest rate risk is usually greater for securities with longer maturities or durations. “Zero-coupon” or “stripped”
securities may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened given that interest rates in the U.S. are near historic lows.
|
■
|
Duration Risk. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt security or portfolio to interest rate changes. Duration risk is the risk that longer-duration debt securities are more likely to decline in
price, and to a greater extent, than shorter-duration debt securities, in a rising interest-rate environment. “Effective duration” attempts to measure the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a
change in prevailing interest rates. The change in the value of a bond or portfolio can be approximated by multiplying its duration by a change in interest rates. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in
general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to decline about 3% while a 1% decrease in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond’s value to increase 3%. Duration is different from maturity, which
is the length of time until the principal must be paid back. The duration of a debt security may be equal to or shorter than the full maturity of a debt security.
|
■
|
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks
than securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund’s income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of the security might fall and the Fund
could lose the amount of its investment in the security. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer, for any reason, can reduce the market value of that issuer’s securities.
|
■
|
Credit Spread Risk. Credit spread risk is the risk that credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between securities that is due to differences in their credit quality) may increase when the market expects lower-grade
bonds to default more frequently. Widening credit spreads may quickly reduce the market values of the Fund’s lower-rated and unrated securities. 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.
|
■
|
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, if interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity of those securities could
lengthen as a result. Securities that are subject to extension risk generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their values to fall sharply. Extension risk is particularly prevalent for a
callable security where an increase in interest rates could result in the issuer of that security choosing not to redeem the security as anticipated on the security’s call date. Such a decision by the issuer could have the effect of
lengthening the debt security’s expected maturity, making it more vulnerable to interest rate risk and reducing its market value.
|
■
|
Reinvestment Risk. Reinvestment risk is the risk that when interest rates fall, the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds from a security’s sale or redemption at a lower interest rate. Callable bonds are
generally subject to greater reinvestment risk than non-callable bonds.
|
■
|
Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, the issuer will redeem the security prior to the
security’s expected maturity, or that borrowers will repay the loans
|
|
that underlie these
fixed-income securities more quickly than expected, thereby causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities
subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its
principal investment. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security’s price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate
changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and repayment assumptions about those investments.
|
Fixed-Income Market Risks. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to unusual volatility and illiquidity. Volatility and illiquidity may be more pronounced in the case of lower-rated and unrated securities. Liquidity can decline
unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are near historic
lows in the U.S. and in other countries. During times of reduced market liquidity, the Fund may not be able to readily sell bonds at the prices at which they are carried on the Fund’s books. If the Fund needed to sell large blocks of bonds to
meet shareholder redemption requests or to raise cash, those sales could further reduce the bonds’ prices. An unexpected increase in Fund redemption requests (including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the
Fund’s shares), which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, as well as other adverse market and economic developments, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely
affect the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s liquidity risk, Fund expenses and/or taxable distributions. Similarly, the prices of the Fund’s holdings could be adversely affected if an investment account managed similarly
to that of the Fund was to experience significant redemptions and that account was required to sell its holdings at an inopportune time. The liquidity of an issuer’s securities may decrease as a result of a decline in an issuer’s credit
rating, the occurrence of an event that causes counterparties to avoid transacting with the issuer, or an increase in the issuer’s cash outflows, as well as other adverse market and economic developments. A lack of liquidity or other adverse
credit market conditions may hamper the Fund’s ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.
Economic and other
market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to
make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns may impact the market price or value
of those debt securities and may cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets, reducing the willingness of
some lenders to extend credit, and making it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms (or at all).
Changes to monetary policy by the Federal Reserve or
other regulatory actions could expose fixed income and related markets to heightened volatility, interest rate sensitivity and reduced liquidity, which may impact the Fund’s operations, universe of potential investment options, and return
potential.
In addition, although the
fixed-income securities markets have grown significantly in the last few decades, regulations and business practices have led some financial intermediaries to curtail their capacity to engage in trading (i.e., “market making”) activities
for certain debt securities. As a
7
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
result, dealer inventories of fixed-income securities, which provide
an indication of the ability of financial intermediaries to make markets in fixed-income securities, are near historic lows relative to market size. Because market makers help stabilize the market through their financial intermediary services,
further reductions in dealer inventories could have the potential to decrease liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income securities markets.
Risks of Investing
in U.S. Territories, Commonwealths and Possessions. The Fund also invests in obligations of the governments of U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and
the Northern Mariana Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from regular federal individual and state income taxes. Accordingly, the Fund may be adversely affected by local political, economic,
social and environmental conditions and developments, including natural disasters, within these U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions affecting the issuers of such obligations. A discussion of the special considerations relating to the
Fund’s municipal obligations and other factors or economic conditions in those territories, commonwealths or possessions is provided in an appendix to the SAI.
Significant Investment in Puerto Rico Municipal
Securities. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund expects to invest a significant percentage of its total assets in Puerto Rican municipal securities,
which are exempt from federal, state, and, where applicable, local income taxes. The Adviser expects the Fund to remain invested in municipal securities issued by Puerto Rico, its agencies and instrumentalities, subject to market, economic and
political conditions. Puerto Rico experienced a significant downturn during the most recent recession and continues to face significant fiscal challenges, including persistent government deficits, underfunded public pension benefit obligations,
underfunded government retirement systems, sizable debt service obligations and a high unemployment rate. The amount of its outstanding public debt will make it very difficult for Puerto Rico to make full repayment. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico
municipal securities have filed for bankruptcy or failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed payments and defaults may be likely to occur in the future. As a result of Puerto Rico’s challenging economic
and fiscal environment, certain securities issued by Puerto Rico and its agencies are currently considered below-investment-grade securities. The Fund expects to invest some of these securities, which may subject the Fund to additional risks as
described in this prospectus. If the economic situation in Puerto Rico persists or worsens, the volatility, liquidity, credit quality and performance of the Fund could be adversely affected. The outcome of any debt restructuring, both within and
outside bankruptcy proceedings, and any potential future restructuring is uncertain, and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper. Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of usually 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their
agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. While tax-exempt commercial paper is intended to be repaid from general revenues or refinanced, it frequently is backed by a
letter of credit, lending arrangement, note, repurchase agreement or other credit facility agreement offered by a bank or financial institution. Because tax-exempt issuers may constantly reissue their commercial paper and use the proceeds (or other
sources) to repay maturing paper, the commercial paper of a tax-exempt issuer that is unable to continue to obtain liquidity in that manner may default. There may be a limited secondary market for issues of tax-exempt commercial paper.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations are used by state and local governments to obtain funds to acquire land, equipment or facilities. The Fund can invest in
certificates of participation that represent a proportionate interest in payments made under municipal lease obligations. Most municipal lease obligations, while secured by the leased property, are not general obligations of the issuing
municipality. They often
contain “non-appropriation” clauses under which the
municipal government has no obligation to make lease or installment payments in future years unless money is appropriated on a yearly basis.
If the municipal government stops making payments or
transfers its payment obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable. Although the obligation may be secured by the leased equipment or facilities, the disposition of the property in the event of non-appropriation
or foreclosure might prove difficult, time consuming and costly, and may result in a delay in recovering or the failure to recover the original investment. Some lease obligations may not have an active trading market, making it difficult for the
Fund to sell them quickly at an acceptable price.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made
solely from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
■
|
Tobacco Settlement
Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in
the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers
signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay
into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
|
A number of states have securitized the future flow
of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to the Fund,
are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation and the
financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by the MSA
companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could affect the
Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and
tobacco manufacturers have been and continue to be subject to various legal claims, including challenges by participating tobacco manufacturers regarding the amount of annual payments owed under the MSA, and an adverse outcome could affect the
payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions in bond payments. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges. The SAI contains more detailed information about the litigation
related to the tobacco industry and the MSA.
■
|
“Subject to
Appropriation” (STA) Tobacco Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge. These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger category of municipal bonds that are subject to state
appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “government appropriation” or “subject to appropriation” bonds (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from two distinct
sources:
|
8
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
|
(i) a dedicated
revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) from the issuer’s general funds.
|
Appropriation debt differs from a state’s
general obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the
bonds. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge the full faith,
credit or taxing power of the state.
Ratings of
Municipal Securities the Fund Buys. The Adviser may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations in
evaluating the credit risk of securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market
risk. Ratings and market value may change from time to time, positively or negatively, to reflect new developments regarding the issuer.
Rating organizations might not change their credit
rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer’s ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the
Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business, economic and other factors affecting issuers as well. Many factors affect an issuer’s ability to make timely payments, and the credit risk of a particular
security may change over time. The Adviser also may use its own research and analysis to assess those risks. If a bond is insured, it will usually be rated by the rating organizations based on the financial strength of the insurer. The rating
categories are described in an appendix to the SAI.
Most of the municipal securities the Fund buys are
“investment-grade” at the time of purchase. “Investment-grade” securities are those rated within the four highest rating categories of S&P Global Ratings (S& P), Moody’s, Fitch or another nationally recognized
statistical rating organization (or, in the case of unrated securities, determined by the Adviser to be comparable to securities rated investment-grade). While securities rated within the fourth highest category by S&P (meaning BBB+, BBB or
BBB-) or by Moody’s (meaning Baa1, Baa2 or Baa3) are considered “investment-grade,” they have some speculative characteristics. If two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations have assigned different ratings
to a security, the Adviser uses the highest rating assigned.
The Fund may buy municipal securities that are
“pre-refunded.” The issuer’s obligation to repay the principal value of the security is generally collateralized with U.S. government securities placed in an escrow account. This causes the pre-refunded security to have essentially
the same risks of default as a AAA-rated security. This Fund may treat such securities as investment-grade (AAA) securities notwithstanding the fact that the issuer of such securities has a lower (including below-investment-grade) rating from one or
more rating agencies.
Risks of
Below-Investment-Grade Securities. Below-investment-grade securities (also referred to as “junk bonds”) generally have higher yields than investment-grade securities but also have
higher risk profiles. Below-investment-grade securities are considered to be speculative and entail greater risk with respect to the ability of the issuer to timely repay principal and pay interest or dividends in accordance with the terms of the
obligation and may have more credit risk than investment-grade securities, especially during times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. These additional risks mean that the Fund may not receive the anticipated level of income
from these securities, and the Fund’s net asset value may be affected by declines in the value of below-investment-grade securities. The major risks of below-investment-grade securities include:
■
|
Prices of
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, even under normal market conditions.
|
|
Adverse changes in an
issuer’s industry and general economic conditions may have a greater impact on the prices of below-investment-grade securities than on the prices of investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be issued by less creditworthy issuers and may be more likely to default than investment-grade securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may have more outstanding debt relative to their assets than issuers of investment-grade
securities. Issuers of below-investment-grade securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations because of an economic downturn, specific issuer developments, or the unavailability of additional financing.
|
■
|
In the event of an
issuer’s bankruptcy, claims of other creditors may have priority over the claims of the holders of below-investment-grade securities.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
may be less liquid than investment-grade securities, even under normal market conditions. There are fewer dealers in the below-investment-grade securities market and there may be significant differences in the prices quoted by the dealers. Because
they are less liquid, judgment may play a greater role in valuing certain of the Fund’s securities than is the case with securities trading in a more liquid market.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
typically contain redemption provisions that permit the issuer of the securities containing such provisions to redeem the securities at its discretion. If the issuer redeems below-investment-grade securities, the Fund may have to invest the
proceeds in securities with lower yields and may lose income.
|
■
|
Below-investment-grade securities
markets may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse credit, economic, or market conditions than investment-grade securities.
|
The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets in
below-investment-grade securities. This restriction is applied at the time of purchase and the Fund may continue to hold a security whose credit rating has been downgraded or, in the case of an unrated security, after the Adviser has changed
its assessment of the security’s credit quality. As a result, credit rating downgrades or other market fluctuations may cause the Fund’s holdings of below-investment-grade securities to exceed, at times significantly, this
restriction for an extended period of time. Credit rating downgrades of a single issuer or related similar issuers whose securities the Fund holds in significant amounts could substantially and unexpectedly increase the Fund’s exposure to
below-investment-grade securities and the risks associated with them, especially liquidity and default risk. If the Fund has more than 25% of its total assets invested in below-investment-grade securities, the Adviser will not purchase
additional below-investment-grade securities until the level of holdings in those securities no longer exceeds the restriction. Below-investment-grade securities are subject to greater credit risks than investment-grade securities.
Unrated Securities.
Because the Fund may purchase securities that are not rated by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, the investment adviser may internally assign ratings to those securities, 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.
9
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
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.
Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. Although the interest received from municipal securities generally is exempt from federal income tax, the Fund may invest a portion of its total assets in
municipal securities subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. Accordingly, investment in the Fund could cause shareholders to be subject to, or result in an increased liability under, the federal alternative minimum tax.
Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not
be subject to federal or state income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, tax opinions are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or any court, and
after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities or a court may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to
federal or state income tax. In addition, income from tax-exempt municipal securities could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service, state tax authorities, or a court,
or the non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer.
Municipal Securities
Focus. The Fund will not concentrate its investments in issuers in any one industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken the position that
investment of more than 25% of a fund’s total assets in issuers in the same industry constitutes concentration in that industry. Many types of municipal securities (such as general obligation, government appropriation, municipal leases,
special assessment and special tax bonds) are not considered a part of any “industry” for purposes of this policy. Therefore, the Fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in those types of municipal securities, subject to any
applicable limits described in this prospectus. Those municipal securities may finance or pay interest from the revenues of projects that are subject to similar economic, business or political developments that could increase their credit risk.
Legislation that affects the financing of a particular municipal project, or economic factors that have a negative impact on a project, would be likely to affect many other similar projects. At times, the Fund may place an emphasis on, or change the
relative emphasis of its investments in, securities issued by certain municipalities. If the Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in one or more particular municipalities, it may be subject to greater risks from adverse events affecting such
municipalities than a fund that invests in different municipalities or that is more diversified.
Insured Municipal Bonds. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds that are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely payment of principal at maturity and interest when due. Insurance
guarantees that interest payments on a municipal security will be made on time and that the principal will be repaid when the security matures. Either the issuer of the municipal security or the Fund purchases the insurance. Insurance is expected to
protect the Fund against losses caused by a municipal security issuer’s failure to make interest and principal payments. However, insurance does not protect the Fund or its shareholders against losses caused by declines in a municipal
security’s value. Also, the Fund cannot be certain that any insurance company will make the payments it guarantees. Immediately following the financial crisis of 2008, certain significant providers of insurance for municipal securities
incurred significant losses as
a result of exposure to sub-prime mortgages and other lower credit
quality investments that have experienced recent defaults or otherwise suffered extreme credit deterioration. As a result, such losses have reduced certain insurers’ capital and called into question their continued ability to perform their
obligations under such insurance if they are called upon to do so in the future. While an insured municipal security will typically be deemed to have the rating of its insurer, if the insurer of a municipal security suffers a downgrade in its credit
rating or the market discounts the value of the insurance provided by the insurer, the rating of the underlying municipal security will be more relevant and the value of the municipal security would more closely, if not entirely, reflect such
rating. The Fund may lose money on its investment if the insurance company does not make payments it guarantees. In addition, if the Fund purchases the insurance, it must pay the premiums, which will reduce the Fund’s yield. If a municipal
security’s insurer fails to fulfill its obligations or loses its credit rating, the value of the security could drop.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds. The Fund can invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities for similar types of projects that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance
infrastructure development to induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or
other revenues attributable to the specific projects financed by the bonds without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities. These projects often are exposed to real estate development-related risks, such as
the failure of property development, availability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values and the demand of properties to tenants, and changes in interest rates.
These real estate risks may be heightened in the event that these projects are in foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund may pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such projects. These expenses may increase
the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, these projects can have more
taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally are limited as to the
rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if development failed to progress as anticipated or if larger taxpayers failed to
pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund can borrow from banks, a technique referred to as “leverage,” in amounts up to one-third of the Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other
than borrowings. The Fund can use those borrowings for investment-related purposes such as purchasing securities believed to be desirable by the Adviser when available, funding amounts necessary to unwind or “collapse” trusts that issued
“inverse floaters” to the Fund (an investment vehicle used by the Fund as described in this prospectus), or to contribute to such trusts to enable them to meet tenders of their other securities by the holders. The Fund currently
participates in a line of credit with other Invesco funds for those purposes. The Fund may also borrow to meet redemption obligations or for temporary and emergency purposes.
Borrowing for leverage will subject the Fund to
greater costs (for interest payments to the lender, origination fees and related expenses) than funds that do not borrow for leverage and these other purposes. The interest on borrowed money is an expense that might reduce the Fund’s yield,
especially if the cost of borrowing to buy securities exceeds the yield on the securities purchased with the proceeds of a loan. Using leverage may also make the Fund’s share price more sensitive, i.e. volatile, to interest rate changes than
if the Fund did not use leverage due to the tendency to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund’s
10
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
portfolio securities. The use of leverage may also cause the Fund to
liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or meet segregation requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in different types of “derivative” instruments that are consistent with its investment strategies. A derivative is an instrument whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of
an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency.
Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security, obligor or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the
derivative itself, may not perform as expected. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative investment. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of
the Fund’s initial investment. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and may increase portfolio
turnover. Derivatives are subject to credit risk, since the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. 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. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from the investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be
unsuccessful.
In addition, pursuant to
rules implemented under financial reform legislation, certain over-the-counter derivatives, including certain interest rate swaps and certain credit default swaps, are required to be executed on a regulated market and/or cleared through a
clearinghouse, which may result in increased margin requirements and costs for the Fund. Entering into a derivative transaction that is cleared may entail further risks and costs, including the counterparty risk of the clearinghouse and the futures
commission merchant through which the Fund accesses the clearinghouse.
The Fund may use derivatives to seek income or
capital gain to hedge against the risks of other investments. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks. Examples include, but are not limited to, interest rate swaps or municipal bond swaps.
While the Fund may use derivatives for hedging purposes, it typically does not use hedging instruments, such as options, to hedge investment risks.
Inverse Floaters.
The Fund may invest in inverse floaters to seek greater income and total return. Inverse floaters, under ordinary circumstances, offer higher yields and thus provide higher income than fixed-rate municipal bonds of comparable maturity and credit
quality. During periods of rising interest rates, the market values of inverse floaters will tend to decline more quickly than those of fixed rate securities.
An inverse floater is created as part of a
“tender option bond” transaction. In most cases, in a tender option bond transaction the Fund sells a fixed-rate municipal bond (the “underlying municipal bond”) to a trust (the Trust). The Trust then issues and sells
short-term floating rate securities with a fixed principal amount representing a senior interest in the underlying municipal bond to third parties and the inverse floater, representing a residual, subordinate interest in the underlying municipal
bond, to the Fund. The proceeds of the sale of the bond by the Fund remaining after it buys the inverse floater can be used for any purpose. The interest rate on the short-term floating rate securities resets periodically, usually weekly, to a
prevailing market rate and holders of these securities are granted the option to tender their securities back to the Trust for repurchase at their principal amount plus accrued interest thereon (the “purchase price”) periodically,
usually daily or weekly. A remarketing agent for the Trust is required to attempt to re-sell any tendered short-term floating rate securities to new investors for the purchase price. If the remarketing agent is unable to
successfully re-sell the tendered short-term floating rate securities,
a liquidity provider to the Trust must contribute cash to the Trust to ensure that the tendering holders receive the purchase price of their securities on the repurchase date.
The Fund may also purchase an inverse floater
created as part of a tender option bond transaction not initiated by the Fund when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust.
Because holders of the short-term floating rate
securities are granted the right to tender their securities to the Trust for repurchase at frequent intervals for the purchase price, with such payment effectively guaranteed by the liquidity provider, the securities generally bear short-term rates
of interest commensurate with money market instruments. When interest is paid on the underlying municipal bond to the Trust, such proceeds are first used to pay the Trust’s administrative expenses and accrued interest to holders of the
short-term floating rate securities, with any remaining amounts being paid to the Fund, as the holder of the inverse floater. Accordingly, the amount of such interest on the underlying municipal bond paid to the Fund is inversely related to the rate
of interest on the short-term floating rate securities. Additionally, because the principal amount of the short-term floating rate securities is fixed and is not adjusted in response to changes in the market value of the underlying municipal bond,
any change in the market value of the underlying municipal bond is reflected entirely in a change to the value of the inverse floater.
Typically, the terms of an inverse floater grant the
Fund, as holder, the right to voluntarily terminate the Trust and to obtain the underlying municipal bond. To do so, the Fund would generally need to pay the Trust the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities and a specified portion
of any market value gain on the underlying municipal bond since its deposit into the Trust. Through the exercise of such right, the Fund can “collapse” the Trust, terminate its investment in the related inverse floater and obtain the
underlying municipal bond. Additionally, the Fund also typically has the right to exchange with the Trust (i) a principal amount of short-term floating rate securities held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of the
inverse floater or (ii) a principal amount of the inverse floater held by the Fund for a corresponding additional principal amount of short-term floating rate securities (which are typically then sold to other investors). Through the exercise
of this right, the Fund may increase (or decrease) the principal amount of short-term floating rate securities outstanding, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the amount of leverage provided by the short-term floating rate securities to the
Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying municipal bond.
The Fund’s investments in inverse floaters
involve certain risks. As short-term interest rates rise, inverse floaters produce less current income (and, in extreme cases, may pay no income) and as short-term interest rates fall, inverse floaters produce more current income. Thus, if
short-term interest rates rise after the issuance of the inverse floater, any yield advantage to the Fund is reduced and may be eliminated. All inverse floaters entail some degree of leverage represented by the outstanding principal amount of the
related short-term floating rate securities.
The value of, and income earned on, an inverse
floater that has a higher degree of leverage (represented by a larger outstanding principal amount of related short-term floating rate securities relative to the par value of the underlying municipal bond) will fluctuate more significantly in
response to changes in interest rates and to changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond than that of an inverse floater having a lower degree of leverage. Changes in the value of an inverse floater will also be more
significant than changes in the market value of the related underlying municipal bond because the leverage provided by the related short-term floating rate securities increases the sensitivity of an inverse floater to changes in interest rates and
to the market value of the underlying municipal bond. An inverse floater can be expected to underperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when long-term interest rates are rising, but can be expected to outperform fixed-rate municipal bonds when
long-term
11
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
interest rates are falling. Additionally, a tender option bond
transaction typically provides for the automatic termination or “collapse” of a Trust upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, usually referred to as “mandatory tender events” or “tender option termination
events.” These events may include, among others, a credit ratings downgrade of the underlying municipal bond below a specified level, a decrease in the market value of the underlying municipal bond below a specified amount, a bankruptcy of the
liquidity provider or the inability of the remarketing agent to re-sell to new investors short-term floating rate securities that have been tendered for repurchase. Following such an event, the underlying municipal bond is generally sold for current
market value and the proceeds distributed to holders of the short-term floating rate securities and inverse floater, with the holder of the inverse floater (the Fund) generally receiving the proceeds of such sale only after the holders of the
short-term floating rate securities have received proceeds equal to the purchase price of their securities (and the liquidity provider is generally required to contribute cash to the Trust only in an amount sufficient to ensure that holders of the
short-term floating rates securities receive the purchase price for their securities in connection with such termination of the Trust, in which instance the Fund may have an obligation to reimburse the liquidity provider, as described below). The
sale of the underlying bond following such an event could be at an adverse price that might result in the loss by the Fund of a substantial portion, or even all, of its investment in the related inverse floater.
The Fund may enter into
shortfall/reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider in connection with certain inverse floaters held by the Fund. These agreements commit the Fund to reimburse the liquidity provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide
cash to a Trust, including following the termination of a Trust resulting from the occurrence of a “mandatory tender event.” In connection with such an event and the termination of the Trust triggered thereby, the shortfall/reimbursement
agreement will make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying municipal bond and the purchase price of the short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. The Adviser
monitors the Fund’s potential exposure with respect to these agreements on a daily basis and intends to take action to terminate the Fund’s investment in related inverse floaters, if it deems it appropriate to do so.
Accounting Treatment of Inverse Floaters. When the Fund creates an inverse floater in a tender option bond transaction by selling an underlying municipal bond to a Trust, the transaction is considered a secured borrowing for financial
reporting purposes. As a result of such accounting treatment, the Fund includes the underlying municipal bond on its Statement of Investments and as an asset on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities (but does not separately include the related
inverse floater on either). The Fund also includes a liability on its Statement of Assets and Liabilities equal to the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the related short-term floating rate securities issued by the Trust. Interest
on the underlying municipal bond is recorded as investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations, while interest payable on the related short-term floating rate securities is recorded as interest expense (which affects the Fund’s
annual operating expenses, shown earlier in this prospectus). As mentioned above, the Fund may also purchase an inverse floater created as part of a tender option bond transaction when a third party, such as a municipal issuer or financial
institution, transfers an underlying municipal bond to a Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund includes the inverse floater related to such transaction on its Statement of Investments and interest on the security is recorded as
investment income on the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Floating Rate/Variable Rate Obligations. Some municipal securities have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating rates are
automatically adjusted according to a specified market rate for those investments, such as, for example, the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index or the percentage of the prime rate of a bank. These obligations may be secured by bank letters of
credit or other credit support arrangements. Inverse floaters,
discussed in this prospectus, are a type of variable rate obligation.
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.
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 which 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, acts of terrorism or other events may have a significant impact on the value of the Fund’s investments, as well as the financial markets and
global economy generally. Such circumstances may also impact the ability of the Adviser to effectively implement the Fund’s investment strategy. Individual stock prices tend to go up and down more dramatically than those of certain other types
of investments, such as bonds. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in
value.
Additional Investment
Information. 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.
Other Investment Strategies and Risks
The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies
described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.
When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase municipal securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. “When-issued” or
“delayed-delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. During the period between the purchase and the settlement dates, the buyer
makes no payment for the security and receives no interest. When-issued or delayed-delivery securities the Fund buys are subject to changes in value as a result of market fluctuations during that period and the value of the security on the delivery
date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security has declined below the purchase price.
12
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
Floating Rate Municipal Notes (FRNs). The Fund may invest in FRNs: which typically pay interest based on an index base rate (such as the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index (SIFMA), a widely-used benchmark for short-term interest rates) plus an established yield
premium. Due to their floating rate features, FRNs will generally pay higher levels of income in a rising short-term interest rate environment and lower levels of income as short-term interest rates decline. In times of substantial market
volatility, however, FRNs may not perform as anticipated. The value of a FRN also may decline due to other factors, such as changes in credit quality of the underlying bond. The Fund’s ability to engage in transactions using FRNs may be
limited due to market factors. There is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular FRN or at any particular time, and so the Fund may not be able to close a position in a FRN when it is advantageous to do so. The Fund
may also transfer a FRN to a sponsor to create an inverse floater, which may further increase the volatility of the market value of a FRN or the inverse floater.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in debt securities issued by companies that are involved in reorganizations, financial restructurings or bankruptcy. Such distressed debt securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in
addition to the risks of investing in below-investment-grade debt securities. The Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may also incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities
involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. These securities may present a substantial risk of default or may be in default at the time of investment. The Fund may incur additional expenses to the extent it is required to seek
recovery upon a default in the payment of principal of or interest on its portfolio holdings. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, the Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash
or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale. Distressed securities are subject to the Fund’s
limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities.
Defaulted
Securities. The Fund may purchase defaulted securities if the investment adviser believes that there is potential for resumption of income payments or realization of income on the sale of the securities or the
collateral or other advantageous developments appear likely in the near future. Notwithstanding the Adviser’s belief about the resumption of income payments or realization of income, the purchase of defaulted securities is highly speculative
and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial or complete loss of the Fund’s investment. Defaulted securities are subject to the Fund’s limitation, if any, on holding below-investment-grade securities. The
Adviser does not expect that this will be a significant investment strategy of the Fund.
Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund can invest without limit in zero-coupon securities. These debt obligations do not pay interest prior to their maturity date or else they do not start to pay interest at a stated coupon rate until a future
date. They are issued and traded at a discount from their face amount. The discount varies as the securities approach their maturity date (or the date interest payments are scheduled to begin). When interest rates change, zero-coupon securities are
subject to greater fluctuations in their value than securities that pay current interest. The Fund accrues the discount on zero-coupon bonds as tax-free income on a current basis. The Fund may have to distribute imputed income on zero-coupon
securities without receiving actual cash payments currently.
Illiquid Investments. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. The Adviser monitors holdings of illiquid investments
on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings. The Fund will comply with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 in managing its illiquid investments.
Taxable Investments.
The Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that
generate income subject to income taxes. Taxable investments include,
for example, hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes. The Fund does not anticipate investing substantial amounts of its assets in taxable investments under
normal market conditions or as part of its normal trading strategies and policies.
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.
Fund Management
The Adviser(s)
Invesco Advisers, Inc. serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.
The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Fund as well as other investment portfolios that encompass a broad range of investment objectives, and has agreed to perform or arrange for the performance of the Fund’s day-to-day
management. The Adviser is located at 1555 Peachtree Street, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the SAI.
Potential New Sub-Advisers (Exemptive Order
Structure). The SEC has also granted exemptive relief that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to enter into new sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers on behalf of the
Fund without shareholder approval. The exemptive relief also permits material amendments to existing sub-advisory agreements with affiliated or unaffiliated sub-advisers (including the Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Sub-Advisers) without
shareholder approval. Under this structure, the Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight of the Board, for overseeing such sub-advisers and recommending to the Board their hiring, termination, or replacement. The structure does not
permit investment advisory fees paid by the Fund to be increased without shareholder approval, or change the Adviser's obligations under the investment advisory agreement, including the Adviser's responsibility to monitor and oversee sub-advisory
services furnished to the Fund.
Exclusion of
Adviser from Commodity Pool Operator Definition
With respect to
the Fund, the Adviser has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject
to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO. In addition, the Adviser is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Fund.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the Fund,
among other things, to adhere to certain limits on its investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards. The Fund is
permitted to invest in these instruments as further described in the Fund’s SAI. However, the Fund is not intended as a vehicle for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor
approved the Adviser’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Fund, its investment strategies or this prospectus.

Other Information
Sales Charges
Purchases of Class A shares of the Fund are subject to the maximum
4.25% initial sales charge as listed under the heading “Category II Initial Sales Charges” in the “Shareholder Account Information—Initial Sales
Charges (Class A Shares Only)” section of the prospectus.
Purchases of Class C shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). For more information on CDSCs, see the “Shareholder Account Information—Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)” section of this
prospectus.
Dividends and Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and strategies,
that its distributions, if any, will consist primarily of income that is exempt from federal income tax and Pennsylvania personal income tax to the extent they are derived from Pennsylvania’s municipal obligations.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares dividends from net investment income, if
any, daily and pays them monthly.
Capital Gains
Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and
short-term capital gains (net of any available capital loss carryovers), if any, at least annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from year to year as a result of the Fund’s normal investment activities and cash flows.
During a time of economic volatility, the Fund may experience capital losses and unrealized depreciation in value of investments, the effect of which may be to reduce or eliminate capital gains distributions for a period of time. Even though the
Fund may experience a current year loss, it may nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund
Shareholder Account Information
In addition to the Fund(s), the Adviser serves as investment adviser
to many other Invesco mutual funds that are offered to investors (Invesco Funds or Funds). The following information is about all of the Invesco Funds and their share classes that have different fees and expenses.
Some investments in the Funds are made through
accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (and not in the name of an individual investor) and some investments are made indirectly through products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans, funds of
funds, qualified tuition plans, and variable insurance contracts (these products are generally referred to as conduit investment vehicles). If shares of the Funds are held in an account maintained by an intermediary or in the name of a conduit
investment vehicle (and not in the name of an individual investor), the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle may impose rules that differ from, and/or charge a transaction or other fee in addition to, those described in this prospectus. 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 access,” then click on “Account Access” under “Accounts & Services.” For additional
information about Invesco Funds, consult the Fund’s prospectus and SAI, which are available on that same website or upon request free of charge. The website is not part of this prospectus.
Choosing a Share Class
Each Fund may offer multiple classes of shares and not all Funds offer
all share classes discussed herein. Each class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments. Certain classes have higher expenses than other classes which may lower the return on your investment when compared to a less expensive
class. In deciding which class of shares to purchase, you should consider the following attributes of the various share classes, among other things: (i) the eligibility requirements that apply to purchases of a particular class, (ii) the
initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), if any, applicable to the class, (iii) the 12b-1 fee, if any, paid by the class, and (iv) any services you may receive from a financial intermediary. Please contact your
financial adviser to assist you in making your decision. Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on the fees and expenses of a particular Fund’s share classes.

Share Class Eligibility
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. 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, CX and RX
Shares
Class AX, CX and RX shares are closed to new
investors. Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in Class AX, CX or RX of a specific Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX, CX and RX, respectively, of such specific Fund. All references in this
“Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds shall include Class AX (excluding Invesco Government Money Market Fund), CX, or RX shares, respectively, of the Invesco
Funds, unless otherwise noted. All references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include Class AX shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted.
Class P Shares
In addition to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco
Summit Fund offers Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans). Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1
fee of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only until the
total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the combined total of all
scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R Shares
Class R shares are intended for Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plans. If you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or
reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will
be permitted to make additional Class R shares purchases.
Class R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds (except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund) are available for use by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans, held either at the plan level or through omnibus accounts, that generally process no more
than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the Funds are also
available to institutional investors. Institutional investors are: banks, trust companies, collective trust funds, entities acting for the account of a public entity (e.g., Taft-Hartley funds, states, cities or government agencies), funds of funds
or other pooled investment vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please
see “Minimum Investments” below.
Class R6 shares of the Funds are also available
through an intermediary that has agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption and one net purchase transaction each day.
The Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond
Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund are only available for purchase by other Funds in the Invesco fund family and other Invesco pooled investment vehicles.
Shareholders eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares
must meet the requirements specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6 Shares to their customers.
Class S Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who purchase shares with
the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12 months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the distributor
to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the
investor’s systematic contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a
scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option.
Class Y Shares
Class Y shares are available to (i) investors who purchase through an
account that is charged an asset-based fee or commission by a financial intermediary, including through brokerage platforms, where a broker is acting as the investor’s agent, that may require the payment by the investor of a commission and/or
other form of compensation to that broker, (ii) endowments, foundations, or Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (with the exception of “Solo 401(k)” Plans and 403(b) custodial accounts held directly at Invesco), (iii) banks
or bank trust departments acting on their own behalf or as trustee or manager for trust accounts, or (iv) any current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family members of a current, former or retired trustee,
director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
Subject to any conditions or limitations imposed on
the servicing of Class Y shares by your financial adviser, if you received Class Y shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y share purchases. In
addition, you will be permitted to make additional Class Y shares purchases if you owned Class Y shares in a “Solo 401(k)” Plan or 403(b) custodial
account held directly at Invesco if you held such shares in your
account on or prior to May 24, 2019.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class shares:
■
|
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in the registration of an
account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary. These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered investors.”
|
■
|
Customers of a
financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are referred to as
“Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
|
■
|
Any current, former
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee) of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
|
For additional shareholder eligibility requirements
with respect to Invesco Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or
distribution plan pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and
distribution of the Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment
and may cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described in this prospectus.
The following Funds and share classes do not have
12b-1 plans:
■
|
Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.

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):

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
Oppenheimer 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 whether you purchase your shares directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary. 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 will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the
Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.
The following types of investors may purchase
Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge:
Waivers Available Directly from the Fund

will make Class A shares available without the imposition of a sales charge.

of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
|

■
|
reinvesting dividends
and distributions;
|
■
|
exchanging shares of
one Fund that were previously assessed a sales charge for shares of another Fund;
|
■
|
purchasing shares in
connection with the repayment of an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loan administered by the Funds’ transfer agent; and

|
purchasing
Class A shares with proceeds from the redemption of Class C, Class R, Class R5, Class R6 or Class Y shares where the redemption and purchase are effectuated on the same business day due to the distribution of a Retirement and
Benefit Plan maintained by the Funds’ transfer agent or one of its affiliates.
|
Invesco Distributors also permits certain other
investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial charge as a result of the investor’s
current or former relationship with the Invesco Funds. For additional
information about such eligibility, please reference the Funds’ SAI.
Waivers Available Through Certain Financial
Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements
The financial intermediary-specific waivers,
discounts, policies regarding exchanges and conversions, account investment minimums, and minimum account balances that follow are only available to clients of those financial intermediaries specifically named below. Please contact your financial
intermediary for questions regarding your eligibility and for more information with respect to your financial intermediary’s sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements.
Financial intermediary-specific sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements are implemented and administered by each financial intermediary. It is the responsibility of your financial

responsibility to notify the Fund or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers or discounts. Please contact your financial intermediary
for more information regarding the sales charge waivers, discounts, investment minimums, minimum account balances and other special arrangements available to you and to ensure that you understand the steps you must take to qualify for such
arrangements. The terms and availability of these waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time.

Rights of
Accumulation (ROA) which entitles the shareholder to the applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares will be determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) 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”). 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 rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.
|
■
|
ROA is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).
|
■
|
Letters of Intent
(LOI) allow shareholders to receive sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market
value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during
that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor
of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

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

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

*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.”
Invesco Floating Rate Fund has a revolving line of credit 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund 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 Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business day, has invested less than 10% of its total
assets in weekly liquid assets or, with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from
the stable price established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act, determines that such a deviation is likely to occur,
and the Board, including a majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates
For Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio, if the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or suspend redemptions (redemption gates). In
addition, if any such Fund’s weekly liquid assets falls below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is in the
best interests of the Fund.
Liquidity fees and
redemption gates are most likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In the event that a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed, the Board expects that for the duration of its implementation and the day after
which such gate or fee is terminated, the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The imposition and termination of a liquidity fee or
redemption gate will be reported by a Fund to the SEC on Form N-CR. Such information will also be available on the Fund’s website. In addition, a Fund will communicate such action through a supplement to its registration statement and
may
further communicate such action through a press release or by other
means. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount you receive upon redemption of your
shares. In the event a Fund imposes a redemption gate, the Fund or any financial intermediary on its behalf will not accept redemption requests until the Fund provides notice that the redemption gate has been terminated.
Redemption requests submitted while a redemption
gate is imposed will be cancelled without further notice. If shareholders still wish to redeem their shares after a redemption gate has been lifted, they will need to submit a new redemption request.
Liquidity fees and redemption gates will generally
be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a liquidity fee or
redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of a Fund. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets
reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to
certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect. When a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
There is some degree of uncertainty with respect to
the tax treatment of liquidity fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject to future IRS guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
Financial intermediaries are required to promptly
take the steps requested by the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee or redemption gate as requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the imposition of a fee or gate or the prompt
re-confirmation of orders following a notification regarding the implementation of a fee or gate. If a liquidity fee is imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather than combined, purchase and redemption orders
from the time of the effectiveness of the liquidity fee or redemption gate and the submission of such order information to the Fund or its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless otherwise agreed to between a
Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion has been received in good order by the Fund
or its designated agent prior to the imposition of a liquidity fee or redemption gate may be paid by the Fund despite the imposition of a redemption gate or without the deduction of a liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an
intermediary who receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions
(even if the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was imposed).
Where a Financial Intermediary serves as a
Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders, trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the Financial Intermediary before the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s discretion, be processed on an
as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne exclusively by the Financial Intermediary.
Systematic Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
You may arrange for regular periodic
withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in the amount requested. You must have a
total
account balance of at least $5,000 in order to establish a Systematic
Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer agent.
Check Writing
The Funds’ transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
■
|
Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Oppenheimer
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing
checks in amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Check writing privileges are not available for
Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed to the payee.
If you do not have a sufficient number of shares in
your account to cover the amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a
check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
A check writing redemption request which is
verifiably submitted to a Fund’s agent before a liquidity fee or redemption gate is imposed will be considered a valid redemption and will be processed normally.
Signature Guarantees
The Funds’ transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the
following circumstances:
■
|
When your redemption
proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered owner of the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of record or bank of record on the account.
|
■
|
When you request that
redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that changed in the last 15 days.
|
The Funds’ transfer agent will accept a
guarantee of your signature by a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for these guarantees. Please check with the
guarantor institution to determine whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of your transaction request.
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely
in cash, the Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction
costs and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the securities, respectively.
Redemptions Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, C, P, S and Investor Class shares only) has
been open at least one year, you have not made an additional purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to $500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A financial intermediary may have a different policy
regarding redemptions of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries
or for notifying shareholders of any changes to them. See
“Waivers Available Through Certain Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance policies. Please consult with your financial
intermediary if you have any questions regarding their policies.
If a Fund determines that you have not provided a
correct Social Security or other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In order to separate retail investors (natural
persons) and non-retail investors, the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written
notice of their intent to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither a Fund nor its investment
adviser will be responsible for any loss in an investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary redemption.
Minimum Account Balance (Available for all classes except Class
R5 and R6 shares)
A low balance fee of $12 per year may be
deducted in the fourth quarter of each year from all accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount (the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the Funds and the Adviser. The Funds and
the Adviser generally expect the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which it will be deducted from any Fund
Account will be posted on our website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee will be payable to the Funds’ transfer agent by redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a shareholder and will be used by
the Funds’ transfer agent to offset amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the Funds’ transfer agent under the Funds’ transfer agency agreement with the Funds’ transfer agent. The low balance fee does not
apply to participant accounts in advisory programs or to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
Exchanging Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one Fund for
those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax.
Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading “Redeeming Shares” above, will apply. Before requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you wish to
acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the
limitations set forth in the prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine whether the Fund is offering
shares to new investors and whether you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted Exchanges
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the SAI, you generally may
exchange your shares for shares of the same class of another Fund. The following table shows generally permitted exchanges from one Fund to another Fund (exceptions listed below under “Exchanges Not Permitted”):

Exchanges into Invesco Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end interval fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment adviser for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund. As with the Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of Class A (Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund) or Class C of any Invesco Fund for shares of Class A or Class C, respectively, of Invesco Senior Loan Fund. Please refer to the prospectus
for the Invesco Senior Loan Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges out of Invesco Senior Loan Fund.
Exchanges Not Permitted
The following exchanges are not permitted:
■
|
Investor Class shares
cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which offers Investor Class shares.
|
■
|
Class A2 shares
of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of those Funds.
|
■
|
Invesco Cash Reserve
Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any Fund.
|
■
|
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
|
■
|
Class A shares of a
Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund, except Class Y shares of Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund.
|
Exchange Conditions
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange
with the exception of dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay
the exchange of shares for up to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an option or right to purchase shares. Any of the
participating Funds or the distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge
when exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the holding period for purposes of
calculating the CDSC on the date you made your initial purchase.
In addition, as a result of differences in the forms
of distribution plans among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund
being
exchanged into. Please refer to the prospectus fee table and financial
highlights table and the SAI for more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share Class Conversions
Shares of one class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another
class of the same Fund, provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot
systematically support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore, your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax
purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees and expenses differ between share classes. You
should read the prospectus for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to the conversion.
Automatic Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and Class CX shares held for ten 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, the Fund’s Class C and Class CX shares would be eligible to automatically convert into
the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share Class (the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the tenth anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class
CX shares (the Conversion Date).
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, Class RX 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 or terminate
any sales charge waivers or exceptions.

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 and Invesco Conservative Income 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.
|
■
|
Purchase blocking.
|
■
|
The use of fair value
pricing consistent with procedures approved by the Board.
|
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. 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.
|
The Board considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and it determined that those risks are minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having such a policy as described above. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations than may otherwise be required, the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted. Moreover, excessive trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time
to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Trade Activity Monitoring
Invesco Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an
effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to such activities
in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’ policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades
that are made through accounts that are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion to Reject Orders
If a Fund or an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion,
that your short-term trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the
Funds’ transfer agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase Blocking Policy
The Funds (except those listed below) have adopted a policy under
which any shareholder redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and
purchases that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy, certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger a purchase block, such as: purchases and redemptions of shares having a value of
less than $50,000; systematic purchase, redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features; fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small
balance account fees; plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and
mandatory distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The Funds reserve the right to modify any of the
parameters (including those not listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in those instances where the Adviser determines that its
surveillance procedures are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If an account is maintained by a financial
intermediary whose systems are unable to apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent
trading policies of the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is no
guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be prevented.
The purchase blocking policy does not apply to
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing of Shares
Determination of Net Asset Value
The price of each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset
value per share. The Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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
Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values
to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000). 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 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. 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 delegated
the daily determination of fair value prices to the Adviser’s valuation committee, which acts in accordance with Board approved policies. Fair value pricing methods and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
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 procedures approved by the Board.
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, normally 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’s valuation committee will fair value the security using procedures approved by the Board.
Short-term Securities. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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. Options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements.
Swap Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values, spreads, ratings, industry and
company performance.
Open-end Funds. If a Fund invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests,
and the prospectuses for such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each Fund, except for Invesco Government Money
Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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 investment adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due to subsequent
events occurring after an early close consistent with procedures
approved by the Board. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt
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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and
Invesco Premier 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, Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt 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 Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco Premier 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 Global Targeted Returns Fund, Invesco High Yield Bond Factor Fund, Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund, Invesco Multi-Asset Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer
Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Allocation Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer International Bond Fund may each invest up to
25% of their total assets in shares of their respective subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular business day. The value of shares of
the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures used by the Funds,
which require, among other things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market (that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business day to reflect changes in the market value of the
investment.
Each Fund’s current net
asset value per share is made available on the Funds’ website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair Value Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market
Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier 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 using procedures approved by the Board. 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.
Timing of Orders
Each Fund prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a
business day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value. Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is processed.
Currently, certain financial intermediaries may
serve as agents for the Funds and accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent, the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is accepted by the financial intermediary. In such
cases, if requested by a Fund, the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has
not received authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the
day submitted to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco Oppenheimer 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 applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a return of capital, as well as for its future tax
liability associated with the capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses and realized and unrealized gains and losses on
investments and therefore may vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions. Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s
NAV. Upon the Fund’s sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred taxes.
The Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, a deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s
NAV. To the extent the Fund has a deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would offset the value of some or all of the Fund’s deferred
tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740 (FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce some or all of the deferred tax asset balance if, based on
the weight of all available evidence, both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering the relative impact of negative and positive
evidence. The weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment considers, among other matters, the nature,
frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on
investments. Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset some or all of any deferred tax asset in connection with the calculation of
the Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the
final valuation allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
The Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability
balances are estimated using estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which
distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and
determining its NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization of
distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to calculate
the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years, depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the then-current basis
of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current estimates
and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its estimates or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability
and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses (if any) and changes in applicable tax law
could result in increases or decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes (applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco
Oppenheimer SteelPath Funds, Invesco Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund)
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company
(RIC) and, as such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in taxable
accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
A Fund earns income
generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are a taxable
investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable to you as ordinary income.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains than a Fund with a
low portfolio turnover rate.
|
■
|
Distributions of net
long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
|
■
|
A portion of income
dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements
|
|
are met. These
reduced rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation at these reduced rates.
|
■
|
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax
rates for long-term capital gain.
|
■
|
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in 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 menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable.
Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
An additional 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and
trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if
applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
You will not be
required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local tax jurisdictions.
The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends derived from interest on federal obligations will be
|
|
determined annually.
This percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold shares.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
If a Fund qualifies
to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include your pro-rata share of
these taxes in gross income, even though not actually received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these taxes against your U.S. federal
income tax.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
If a Fund invests in
an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying fund.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and
distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
Funds Investing in Municipal Securities
■
|
You will not be
required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be required
to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This percentage may differ from
the actual percentage of exempt interest received by the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest in
municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in 2009 or 2010.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from municipal
securities of other states.
|
■
|
A Fund may invest a
portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital
gains.
|
■
|
A Fund may distribute
to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and generally will neither qualify for
the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders.
|
■
|
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on certain
indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax consequences for you.
|
■
|
There are risks that:
(a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative, administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of income from a tax-exempt security as
tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively, subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications or actions could cause the value of a
security, and therefore, the value of the Fund’s shares, to decline.
|
Money Market Funds
■
|
A Fund does not
anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
■
|
If a Fund, other than
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or
exchange). See “Liquidity Fees and Redemption Gates.”
|
■
|
Invesco Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio rounds its current net asset value per share to a minimum of the fourth decimal place, therefore, investors will have gain or loss on sale or exchange of shares of the Fund calculated by subtracting your cost basis from the
gross proceeds received from the sale or exchange.
|
■
|
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.
|
■
|
Because the Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio is not expected to maintain a stable share price, a sale or exchange of Fund shares may result in a capital gain or loss for you. 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. Proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, enable the Fund to pass through 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 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). Recently released Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund
|
|
to treat such deemed
inclusions of “Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed
inclusions being treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with recently released Treasury Regulations. If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine that income from direct
investment in commodity-linked notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income
requirements, which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in
order to satisfy the asset diversification requirement.
|
■
|
The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund received a PLR from the IRS holding that income from a form of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. However, the IRS has revoked the ruling on a prospective basis, thus allowing the Fund to continue to
rely on its private letter ruling to treat income from commodity-linked notes purchased on or before June 30, 2017 as qualifying income. After that time the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund expects to rely on the opinion of counsel
described above.
|
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 Oppenheimer SteelPath
Funds)
Although the Code generally provides that a RIC does not
pay an entity-level income tax, provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC because most or substantially all of the Fund’s
investments will consist of investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular
corporation, the Fund will be subject to state and local taxes by
reason of its tax status and its investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal,
state, and local tax liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or other corporate taxes could materially reduce the Fund’s
cash available to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, investors in taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax Basics
■
|
The Fund intends to
invest a significant portion of its assets in MLPs, which are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity securities of an MLP, the Fund will be a partner in such MLP.
Accordingly, the Fund will be required to take into account the Fund’s allocable share of the income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits recognized by each such MLP, regardless of whether the MLP distributes cash to the Fund. MLP
distributions to partners, such as the Fund, are not taxable unless the cash amount (or in certain cases, the fair market value of marketable securities) distributed exceeds the Fund’s basis in its MLP interest. The Fund expects that the cash
distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs will exceed the net taxable income allocated to the Fund from such MLPs because of tax deductions such as depreciation, amortization and depletion that will
be allocated to the Fund from the MLPs. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard. If this expectation is not realized, the Fund will have a larger corporate income tax expense than expected, which will result in less cash available for
distribution to shareholders.
|
■
|
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate, regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital gain rates
do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s allocable share, if any,
of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the amount the Fund paid for the
equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any, and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any distributions
received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a deferred tax
liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in the MLP by the
Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the event a capital loss
carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
|
■
|
Distributions by the
Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such dividend likely will
be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if received by an otherwise qualifying
|
|
corporate U.S.
shareholder that meets certain holding period and other requirements for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible for U.S. federal income
taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise, dividends paid by the Fund to
non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
|
■
|
If the amount of a
Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax- deferred return of capital to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares, and
thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion of the
distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of gain (or
decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
|
■
|
The Fund anticipates
that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Accordingly, the
Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this regard.
|
■
|
Special rules may
apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example, the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This difference in
treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated depreciation.
Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such year, which means
that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of capital or capital gain.
|
■
|
Shareholders that
receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such amount in shares.
|
■
|
A redemption of
shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire interest in
the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or exchange under these rules, a shareholder
generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her shares and the amount received when they are sold.
|
■
|
If the Fund is
required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or other taxes on the
Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized on sale
or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the
proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day
|
|
as the redemption.
Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to you and the IRS. Cost basis
will be calculated using the Fund’s default method of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a Fund and make
any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with
respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Accounts & Services menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
|
■
|
The conversion of
shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs automatically pursuant to
the terms of the class or is initiated by the shareholder.
|
■
|
At the time you
purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before
it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to you.
|
■
|
By law, if you do not
provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your shares. A Fund also must
withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds paid.
|
■
|
A 3.8% Medicare tax
is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such
person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
|
■
|
Fund distributions
and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
■
|
Foreign investors
should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
|
■
|
Under the Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities, that fail to comply
(or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to
certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer
required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or
similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
|
■
|
Taxes, penalties, and
interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund invests in could result in
the Fund being
|
|
required to pay
federal income tax. The Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an independent defense.
Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner
of such MLP, could be required to bear the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of Fund shares.
|
■
|
Under the Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g., certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the deduction.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of
Fund dividends and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors
should refer to the applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund shares.
This discussion of “Taxes” is for general
information only and not tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to them.
Federal Income Taxes (applicable to Invesco Oppenheimer Master
Loan Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund only)
United States taxes
The Fund is classified as a partnership and will not be a regulated
investment company for US federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Fund is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes and, subject to the application of the partnership audit rules described below, incurs no federal income tax
liability. Each Investor is required to take into account its proportionate share of items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the partnership in computing its federal income tax liability regardless of whether or not cash or property
distributions are then made by the Fund. Following the close of the Fund’s taxable year end, Investors will receive a tax statement entitled Schedule K-1 Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc., which reports the tax status
of their distributive share of the Fund’s items for the previous year.
Taxation of distributions, sales and exchanges
In general, distributions of money by the Fund to an Investor will
represent a non-taxable return of capital up to the amount of an Investor’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. An Investor will recognize gain to the extent that any money distributed by the Fund exceeds the Investor’s adjusted tax basis
in its shares. In the case of a non-taxable return of capital by the Fund to an Investor, other than in liquidation of the Investor’s interest in the Fund, the tax basis of his shares will be reduced (but not below zero) and will result in an
increase in the amount of gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the Investor on the later sale of its shares. A distribution in partial or complete redemption of your shares in the Fund is taxable as a sale or exchange
only to the extent the amount of money received exceeds the tax basis of your entire interest in the Fund. Any loss may be recognized only if you redeem your entire interest in the Fund for money.
When you sell shares of the Fund, you may have a
capital gain or loss.
Derivatives
The use of derivatives by the Fund may cause the Fund to realize
higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, allocations of which are taxable to individual Investors at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain. Changes in government
regulation of derivative instruments could affect the character, timing and amount of the Fund’s taxable income or gains, and may limit the Fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy.
Risk of audit of the Fund
Under the partnership audit rules, which are generally applicable to
tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may collect any taxes resulting from audit adjustments to the Fund’s income tax returns (including any applicable penalties and interest) directly
from the Fund. In that case, current Investors would bear some or all of the tax liability resulting from such audit adjustment, even if they did not own interests in the Fund during the tax year under audit. The Fund may have the ability to shift
any such tax liability to the Investors in accordance with their interests in the Fund during the year under audit, but there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to do so under all circumstances. For taxable years not subject to the new
audit rules, items of Fund income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be determined at the Fund level in a unified audit. NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TAXATION, DEDUCTIBILITY OR CAPITALIZATION OF ANY ITEM
BY THE FUND OR INVESTOR. In addition, the “partnership representative” (tax matters partner, for taxable years before the partnership audit rules become effective) will have the sole authority to act on the Fund’s behalf for
purposes of, among other things, federal income tax audits and judicial review of administrative adjustments by the IRS, and any such actions will be binding on the Fund and all of the Investors.
Unrelated business taxable income
An allocable share of a tax-exempt Investor’s income will be
“unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”) to the extent that the Fund borrows money to acquire property or invests in assets that produce UBTI.
Medicare tax
An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment
income of US individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a
threshold amount. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income (including (i) net gains from the taxable disposition of shares of a Fund to the extent the net gain would be taken into account by the Investor if
the Fund sold all of its property for fair market value immediately before the disposition of the shares of the Fund, and (ii) an allocable share of a Fund’s interest, dividends and net gains) reduced by the deductions properly allocable to
such income. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by Investors on, and paid with, the Investor’s federal income tax return.
State, local and non-US tax matters
An Investor’s distributive share of the Fund’s income, and
gains from the sale or exchange of an Investor’s Fund shares, generally are subject to state and local taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Investor resides or is otherwise subject to tax.
Prospective investors should consider their
individual state and local tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Tax considerations for non-US investors
If, as anticipated, the Fund is not deemed to be engaged in a US trade
or business, the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax on the distributive share of certain items of gross income from US sources allocated to non-US Investors at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate. Certain categories of income, including
portfolio interest, are not subject to US withholding tax. Capital gains (other than gain realized on disposition of US
real property interests) are not subject to US withholding tax unless
the non-US Investor is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year. If, on the other hand, the Fund derives income which is effectively connected with a US
trade or business carried on by the Fund, this 30% tax will not apply to such effectively connected income of the Fund, and the Fund generally will be required to withhold tax from the amount of effectively connected income allocable to non-US
Investors at the highest rate of tax applicable to US residents, and non-US Investors generally would be required to file US income tax returns and be subject to US income tax on a net basis. Gain or loss on a sale of shares will be treated as
effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business to the extent that a foreign corporation or foreign individual that owns the shares (whether directly or indirectly through other partnerships) would have had effectively connected gain or loss had
the partnership sold its underlying assets and applicable US withholding tax will apply. Non-US Investors may be subject to US estate tax and are subject to special US tax certification requirements.
Other reporting and withholding requirements
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”),
the Fund will be required to withhold at a 30% rate on certain US source payments (such as interest and dividends) to certain Investors if the Investor fails to provide the Fund with the information which identifies its direct and indirect US
ownership. After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued
by the IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the information that it receives from an Investor to the IRS, non-US
taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws. Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is an Investor fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other documentation
concerning its status under FATCA.
For a more
complete discussion of the federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund, see the Statement of Additional Information.
This discussion of “Federal Income Taxes”
is not intended or written to be used as tax advice. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, Investors should consult their tax professional about federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences before making an investment in the
Fund.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries – All
Share Classes except Class R6 shares
The financial adviser or
intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates, may make additional cash
payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support services. Invesco Affiliates make
these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context of this prospectus, “financial
intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other financial intermediary having a selling,
administration or similar agreement with Invesco Affiliates.
The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they
make these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary’s sales force or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes referred to as “shelf space”
payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary
for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its “sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial
intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for Class R5 shares) of the public
offering price of all shares sold by the financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary
(Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these
payments as they promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their
clients’ accounts, Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to
certain financial intermediaries for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by
Invesco Affiliates under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board.
You can find further details in the Fund’s SAI
about these payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those
disclosed in this prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges.
Important Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder
Documents
To reduce Fund expenses, only one copy of most
shareholder documents may be mailed to shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of
these documents to be combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the Funds’ transfer agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual
copies for each account within thirty days after receiving your request.
Obtaining Additional Information
More information may be obtained free of charge upon request. The SAI,
a current version of which is on file with the SEC, contains more details about the Fund and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus (is legally a part of this prospectus). Annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders contain additional
information about the Fund’s investments. The Fund’s annual report also discusses the market conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected the Fund’s performance during its last fiscal year. The Fund also files
its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the 1st and 3rd quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST
Fund History
AIM Tax-Exempt Funds (Invesco Tax-Exempt
Funds) (the Trust) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end series management investment company. The Trust was originally organized as a Maryland corporation on May
3, 1993 and re-organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 1, 2000. Under the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended (the Trust Agreement), the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board) is authorized to create new series
of shares without the necessity of a vote of shareholders of the Trust.
Prior to April 30, 2010, the Trust was known
as AIM Tax-Exempt Funds and Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund was known as AIM Tax-Free Intermediate Fund. Prior to January 30, 2015, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund was known as Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.

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.
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 or capital, 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. Only shareholders of a specific class may vote on
matters relating to that class’s distribution plan.
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. There are no automatic conversion rights but each Fund may offer voluntary rights to convert between certain share classes, as described in each
Fund’s prospectus. 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 Funds and the assets belonging thereto. The Trust Agreement provides for indemnification out of the property of a Fund (or Class,
as applicable) for all losses and expenses of any shareholder of such Fund
held personally liable solely on account of being or having been a shareholder.
The trustees and officers of the Trust will
not be liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust or any trustee or officer; however, a trustee or officer is not protected against any liability to the Trust or to the shareholders to which a trustee or officer would otherwise be
subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office with the Trust or applicable Fund (Disabling Conduct). The Trust’s Bylaws generally provide
for indemnification by the Trust of the trustees, officers and employees or agents of the Trust, provided that such persons have not engaged in Disabling Conduct. Indemnification does not extend to judgments or amounts paid in settlement in any
actions by or in the right of the Trust. The Trust Agreement also authorizes the purchase of liability insurance on behalf of trustees and officers with Fund assets. The Trust’s Bylaws provide for the advancement of payments of expenses to
current and former trustees, officers and employees or agents of the Trust, or anyone serving at their request, in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding, for which such person would be
entitled to indemnification; provided that any advancement of expenses would be reimbursed unless it is ultimately determined that such person is entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
The Trust Agreement provides that any
Trustee who serves as chair of the Board or 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; and (iii) afford the Trustees a reasonable amount of time to consider the request and investigate the basis of the claims (including designating a committee to consider the demand and hiring counsel
or other advisers). These conditions generally are intended to provide the Trustees with the ability to pursue a claim if they believe doing so would be in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders and to preclude the pursuit of claims
that the Trustees determine to be without merit or otherwise not in the Trust’s best interest to pursue.
The Trust Agreement also generally requires
that actions by shareholders in connection with or against the Trust or a Fund be brought only in certain Delaware courts and that the right to jury trial be waived to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Share Certificates
Shareholders of the Funds do not have the
right to demand or require the Trust to issue share certificates and share certificates are not issued. Any certificates previously issued with respect to any shares are deemed to be cancelled without any requirement for surrender to the
Trust.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR
INVESTMENTS AND RISKS
Classification
The Trust is an open-end management
investment company. Each of the Funds (except for Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund) is “diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act. Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund is
“non-diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, which means the 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 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.
Any percentage limitations relating to the
composition of a Fund’s portfolio identified in the Fund’s Prospectus or this SAI apply at the time the Fund acquires an investment. Subsequent changes that result from market fluctuations generally will not require a Fund to sell any
portfolio security. However, a Fund may sell its illiquid investments holdings, or reduce its borrowings, if any, in response to fluctuations in the value of such holdings.
The Funds’ investment objectives,
policies, strategies and practices described below are non-fundamental and may be changed without approval of the holders of the Funds’ voting securities, unless otherwise indicated.
Equity
Investments
Common Stock. Common stock is issued by a company principally to raise cash for business purposes and represents an equity or ownership interest in the issuing company. Common stockholders are typically entitled to vote on important
matters of the issuing company, including the selection of directors, and may receive dividends on their holdings. A Fund participates in the success or failure of any company in which it holds common stock. In the event a company is liquidated or
declares bankruptcy, the claims of bondholders, other debt holders, owners of preferred stock and general creditors take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.
The prices of common stocks change in
response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuing company, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity.
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.
Equity-Linked Securities. Equity-linked securities are instruments whose value is based upon the value of one or more underlying equity securities, a reference rate or an index. Equity-linked securities come in many forms and may include
features, among others, such as the following: (i) may be issued by the issuer of the underlying equity security or by a company other than the one to which the instrument is linked (usually an investment bank), (ii) may convert into equity
securities, such as common stock, within a stated period from the issue date or may be redeemed for cash or some combination of cash and the linked security at a value based upon the value of the underlying equity security within a stated period
from the issue date, (iii) may have various conversion features prior to maturity at the option of the holder or the issuer or both, (iv) may limit the appreciation value with caps or collars of the value of the underlying equity security and (v)
may have fixed, variable or no interest payments during the life of the security which reflect the actual or a structured return relative to the underlying dividends of the linked equity security. Investments in equity-linked securities may subject
a Fund to additional risks not ordinarily associated with investments in other equity securities. Because equity-linked securities are sometimes issued by a third party other than the issuer of the linked security, a Fund is subject to risks if the
underlying equity security, reference rate or index underperforms or if the issuer defaults on the payment of the dividend or the common stock at maturity. In addition, the trading market for particular equity-linked securities may be less liquid,
making it difficult for a Fund to dispose of a particular security when necessary and reduced liquidity in the secondary market for any such securities may make it more difficult to obtain market quotations for valuing the Fund’s
portfolio.
Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are generally bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks or other securities or investments that may be converted or exchanged (by the
holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio or predetermined price (the conversion price). A convertible security is designed to provide current income
and also the potential for capital appreciation through the conversion feature, which enables the holder to benefit from increases in the market price of the underlying common stock. A convertible security may be called for redemption or conversion
by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a Fund is called for redemption or conversion, the Fund could be required to tender it for
redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party, which may have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Convertible securities have general characteristics similar to
both debt and equity securities.
A convertible security generally entitles
the holder to receive interest paid or accrued until the convertible security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible securities have characteristics similar to non-convertible debt obligations and are designed
to provide for a stable stream of income with generally higher yields than common stocks. However, there can be no assurance of current income because the issuers of the convertible securities may default on their obligations. Convertible securities
rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, generally entail less risk than the corporation’s common stock. Convertible securities are subordinate in rank to any senior debt obligations of the issuer,
and, therefore, an issuer’s convertible securities entail more risk than its debt obligations. Moreover, convertible securities are often rated below investment grade or not rated because they fall below debt obligations and just above common
stock in order of preference or priority on an issuer’s balance sheet. To the extent that a Fund invests in convertible securities with credit ratings below investment grade, such securities may have a higher likelihood of default, although
this may be somewhat offset by the convertibility feature.
Convertible securities generally offer lower
interest or dividend yields than non-convertible debt securities of similar credit quality because of the potential for capital appreciation. The common stock underlying convertible securities may be issued by a different entity than the issuer of
the convertible securities.
The value of convertible securities is
influenced by both the yield of non-convertible securities of comparable issuers and by the value of the underlying common stock. The value of a convertible security viewed without regard to its conversion feature (i.e., strictly on the basis of its
yield) is sometimes referred to as its “investment value.” The investment value of the convertible security typically will fluctuate based on the credit quality of the issuer and will fluctuate inversely with changes in prevailing
interest rates. However, at the same time, the convertible security will be influenced by its “conversion value,” which is the market value of the underlying common stock that would be obtained if the convertible security were converted.
Conversion value fluctuates directly with the price of the underlying common stock, and will therefore be subject to risks relating to the activities of the issuer and general market and economic conditions. Depending upon the relationship of the
conversion price to the market value of the underlying security, a convertible security may trade more like an equity security than a debt instrument.
If, because of a low price of the common
stock, the conversion value is substantially below the investment value of the convertible security, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. Generally, if the conversion value of a convertible security
increases to a point that approximates or exceeds its investment value, the value of the security will be principally influenced by its conversion value. A convertible security will sell at a premium over its conversion value to the extent investors
place value on the right to acquire the underlying common stock while holding an income-producing security.
While a Fund uses the same criteria to rate
a convertible debt security that it uses to rate a more conventional debt security, a convertible preferred stock is treated like a preferred stock for the Fund’s financial reporting, credit rating and investment limitation purposes.
Contingent Convertible Securities (CoCos). CoCos (also referred to as contingent capital securities) are a form of hybrid fixed income security typically issued by non-U.S. banks that may either convert into common stock of the issuer or undergo a principal
write-down by a predetermined percentage upon the occurrence of a “trigger” event, such as if (a) the issuer’s capital ratio falls below a specified level or (b) certain regulatory events, such as a change in regulatory capital
requirements, affect the issuer’s continued viability. Unlike traditional convertible securities, the conversion is not voluntary and the equity conversion or principal write-down features are tailored to the issuing banking institution and
its regulatory requirements.
CoCos are subject to credit, interest rate
and market risks associated with fixed income and equity securities generally, along with risks typically applicable to convertible securities. CoCos are also subject to loss absorption risk because coupon payments can potentially be cancelled or
deferred at the issuer’s discretion or at the request of the relevant regulatory authority in order to help the bank absorb losses. Additionally, certain call provisions permit an issuer to repurchase CoCos if the regulatory environment or tax
treatment of the security (e.g., tax deductibility of interest payments) changes. This may result in a potential loss to the Fund if the price at which the issuer calls or repurchases the CoCos is lower than the initial purchase price by the
Fund.
CoCos are subordinate in rank to
traditional convertible securities and other debt obligations of an issuer in the issuer’s capital structure, and therefore, CoCos entail more risk than an issuer’s other debt obligations.
CoCos are generally speculative and their
market value may fluctuate based on a number of unpredictable factors, including, but not limited to, the creditworthiness of the issuer and/or fluctuations in the issuer’s capital ratios, supply and demand for CoCos, general market conditions
and available liquidity, and economic, financial and political events affecting the particular issuer or markets in general.
Enhanced Convertible Securities. “Enhanced” convertible securities are equity-linked hybrid securities that automatically convert to equity securities on a specified date. Enhanced convertibles have been designed with a variety of payoff
structures, and are known by a variety of different names. Three features common to enhanced convertible securities are (i) conversion to equity securities at the maturity of the convertible (as opposed to conversion at the option of the security
holder in the case of ordinary convertibles); (ii) capped or limited appreciation potential relative to the underlying common stock; and (iii)
dividend yields that are typically higher than that on the underlying common
stock. Thus, enhanced convertible securities offer holders the opportunity to obtain higher current income than would be available from a traditional equity security issued by the same company in return for reduced participation in the appreciation
potential of the underlying common stock. Other forms of enhanced convertible securities may involve arrangements with no interest or dividend payments made until maturity of the security or an enhanced principal amount received at maturity based on
the yield and value of the underlying equity security during the security’s term or at maturity.
Synthetic Convertible Securities. A synthetic convertible security is a derivative position composed of two or more distinct securities whose investment characteristics, taken together resemble those of traditional convertible securities, i.e., fixed
income and the right to acquire the underlying equity security. For example, a Fund may purchase a non-convertible debt security and a warrant or option, which enables a Fund to have a convertible-like position with respect to a security or
index.
Synthetic convertibles
are typically offered by financial institutions in private placement transactions and are typically sold back to the offering institution. Upon conversion, the holder generally receives from the offering institution an amount in cash equal to the
difference between the conversion price and the then-current value of the underlying security. Synthetic convertible securities differ from true convertible securities in several respects. The value of a synthetic convertible is the sum of the
values of its fixed-income component and its convertibility component. Thus, the values of a synthetic convertible and a true convertible security will respond differently to market fluctuations. Purchasing a synthetic convertible security may
provide greater flexibility than purchasing a traditional convertible security, including the ability to combine components representing distinct issuers, or to combine a fixed income security with a call option on a stock index, when the Adviser
determines that such a combination would better further a Fund’s investment goals. In addition, the component parts of a synthetic convertible security may be purchased simultaneously or separately.
The holder of a synthetic convertible faces
the risk that the price of the stock or the level of the market index underlying the convertibility component will decline. In addition, in purchasing a synthetic convertible security, a Fund may have counterparty risk with respect to the financial
institution or investment bank that offers the instrument.
Alternative Entity Securities. Alternative entity securities are the securities of entities that are formed as limited partnerships, limited liability companies, business trusts or other non-corporate entities that are similar to common or preferred
stock of corporations.
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. 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. 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. 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 ELNs are generally designed for the over-the-counter institutional investment market. The secondary market for ELNs may be limited, and
the lack of liquidity may make ELNs difficult to sell at a desirable time and price and value. The price of an ELN may not correlate with the price of the underlying securities or a fixed-income investment. As the holder of an ELN, the Fund
generally has no rights to the underlying securities, including no voting rights or rights to receive dividends. The Adviser’s ability to accurately forecast movements in the underlying securities will determine the success of the Fund’s
ELNs investments. Should the prices of the underlying securities move in an unexpected manner, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of its ELN investments, and it may realize losses, which could be significant and could include the
Fund’s entire principal investment.
Foreign Investments
Foreign Securities. Foreign securities are equity or debt securities issued by issuers outside the United States, and include securities in the form of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global
Depositary Receipts (GDRs) or other securities representing underlying securities of foreign issuers (foreign securities). ADRs are receipts, issued by U.S. banks, for the shares of foreign corporations, held by the bank issuing the receipt. ADRs
are typically issued in registered form, denominated in U.S. dollars and designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. GDRs are bank certificates issued in more than one country for shares in a foreign company. The shares are held by a foreign
branch of an international bank. GDRs trade as domestic shares but are offered for sale globally through the various bank branches. GDRs are typically used by private markets to raise capital and are denominated in either U.S. dollars or foreign
currencies. EDRs are similar to ADRs and GDRs, except they are typically issued by European banks or trust companies, denominated in foreign currencies and designed for use outside the U.S. securities markets. ADRs, EDRs and GDRs entitle the holder
to all dividends and capital gains on the underlying foreign securities, less any fees paid to the bank. Purchasing ADRs, EDRs or GDRs gives a Fund the ability to purchase the functional equivalent of foreign securities without going to the foreign
securities markets to do so. ADRs, EDRs or GDRs that are “sponsored” are those where the foreign corporation whose shares are represented by the ADR, EDR or GDR is actively involved in the issuance of the ADR, EDR or GDR and generally
provides material information about the corporation to the U.S. market. An “unsponsored” ADR, EDR or GDR program is one where that 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; and/or (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.
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 of the countries in which the Funds may invest 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 the Funds’ 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 the Funds’ 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 the Fund’s assets are uninvested and could cause the Fund
to miss attractive investment opportunities or a potential liability to the Fund arising out of the Fund’s 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 Markets
Countries. A Fund may invest in securities of companies located in developing and emerging markets countries. Unless a Fund’s prospectus includes a different definition, the Fund considers developing and
emerging markets 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, or (ii) determined by the Adviser to be an emerging market
country .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 markets equity and emerging markets 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
markets 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 value
of foreign investments due to changes in currency exchange rates, currency control regulations or currency devaluation;
iv. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in
inflation rates may have negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain developing and emerging markets countries;
v. Many of the developing and emerging
markets 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; and
vi. There is a risk in developing and
emerging markets 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.
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 that may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities has the authority to purchase and sell put and call options on foreign currencies (foreign currency options), foreign currency futures contracts and
related options, 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. Open positions in forward foreign currency contracts used
for non-hedging purposes will be covered by the segregation of a sufficient amount of liquid assets.
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.
A Fund may hold a portion of its assets in
bank deposits denominated in foreign currencies, so as to facilitate investment in foreign securities as well as protect against currency fluctuations and the need to convert such assets into U.S. dollars (thereby also reducing transaction costs).
To the extent these monies are converted back into U.S. dollars, the value of the assets so maintained will be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. Foreign exchange
transactions may involve some of the risks of investments in foreign securities. 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 the Funds’ service providers qualify for certain exemptions and exclusions from regulation by the CFTC. Although 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 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 that are 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 Funds similarly may invest in floating rate loans and
floating rate debt securities made to and issued by U.S. borrowers with significant non-U.S. dollar-denominated revenues; provided that the loans are U.S. dollar-denominated or otherwise provide for payment to the Funds in U.S. dollars.In cases
where the floating rate loans or floating rate debt securities are not denominated in U.S. dollars, provisions will be made for payments to the lenders, including the Funds, in U.S. dollars pursuant to foreign currency swaps.
Foreign Bank Obligations. Foreign bank obligations include certificates of deposit, banker’s acceptances and fixed time deposits and other obligations (a) denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by a foreign branch of a domestic bank
(Eurodollar Obligations), (b) denominated in U.S. dollars and issued by a domestic branch of a foreign bank (Yankee dollar Obligations), or (c) issued by foreign branches of foreign banks. Foreign banks are not generally subject to examination by
any U.S. Government agency or instrumentality.
Performance Indexed Paper. Performance Indexed Paper is U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper the yield of which is linked to certain foreign exchange rate movements. The yield to the investor on performance indexed paper is between the U.S.
dollar and a designated currency as of or about that time (generally, the index maturity two days prior to maturity). The yield to the investor will be within a range stipulated at the time of purchase of the obligation, generally with a guaranteed
minimum rate of return that is below, and a potential maximum rate of return that is above, market yields on U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper, with both the minimum and maximum rates of return on the investment corresponding to the minimum
and maximum values of the spot exchange rate two business days prior to maturity.
Exchange-Traded
Funds
Exchange-Traded Funds
(ETFs). Most ETFs are registered under the 1940 Act as investment companies, although others may not be registered as investment companies and are registered as commodity pools. Therefore, a Fund’s purchase of
shares of an ETF may be subject to the restrictions on investments in other investment companies discussed under “Other Investment Companies.” ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. The Fund may invest in ETFs advised by
unaffiliated advisers as well as ETFs advised by Invesco Capital Management LLC (Invesco Capital). Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and Invesco Capital are affiliates of each other as they are all indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco
Ltd.
Generally, ETFs hold
portfolios of securities, commodities and/or currencies that are designed to replicate, as closely as possible before expenses, the performance of a specified market index. The performance results of ETFs will not replicate exactly the performance
of the pertinent index due to transaction and other expenses, including fees to service providers, borne by ETFs. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the portfolio of securities, commodities and/or currencies purchased by an ETF will
replicate a particular index. Some ETFs are actively managed and instead of replicating a particular index they seek to outperform it, or outperform a basket of securities or price of a commodity or currency.
Only Authorized Participants (APs) may
engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with ETFs. ETF shares are sold to and redeemed by APs at net asset value only in large blocks called creation
units and redemption units, respectively. Such market makers have no
obligation to submit creation or redemption orders; consequently, there is no assurance that market makers will establish or maintain an active trading market for ETF shares. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to
proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to an ETF and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem units of an ETF, an ETF’s shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and
possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. ETF shares may be purchased and sold by all other investors in secondary market trading on national securities exchanges, which allows investors to purchase and sell ETF shares at their market price
throughout the day.
Investments in
ETFs generally present the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional mutual fund that has the same investment objective, strategy and policies. Investments in ETFs further involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the
types of securities, commodities and/or currencies included in the indices the ETFs are designed to replicate. In addition, shares of an ETF may trade at a market price that is higher or lower than their net asset value and an active trading market
in such shares may not develop or continue. Moreover, trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action to be appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of
market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
Exchange-Traded
Notes
Exchange-Traded Notes
(ETNs). ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities whose returns are linked to the performance of a particular market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. ETNs are traded on an exchange
(e.g., the New York Stock Exchange) during normal trading hours; however, investors can also hold the ETN until maturity. At maturity, the issuer pays to the investor a cash amount equal to the principal amount, subject to the day’s market
benchmark or strategy factor. ETNs do not make periodic coupon payments or provide principal protection. ETNs are subject to credit risk, including the credit risk of the issuer, and the value of the ETN may drop due to a downgrade in the
issuer’s credit rating, despite the underlying market benchmark or strategy remaining unchanged. The value of an ETN may also be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in
underlying assets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced underlying asset. When a Fund invests in ETNs it will bear its
proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. A decision by a Fund 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 a Fund characterizes and treats ETNs for tax purposes. Further, the IRS and Congress are considering proposals that would change the timing and
character of income and gains from ETNs.
An ETN that is tied to a specific market
benchmark or strategy may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative weighting of securities, commodities or other components in the applicable market benchmark or strategy. Some ETNs that use leverage can, at times,
be relatively illiquid, and thus they may be difficult to purchase or sell at a fair price. Leveraged ETNs are subject to the same risk as other instruments that use leverage in any form.
The market value of ETNs may differ from
their market benchmark or strategy. This difference in price may be due to the fact that the supply and demand in the market for ETNs at any point in time is not always identical to the supply and demand in the market for the securities, commodities
or other components underlying the market benchmark or strategy that the ETN seeks to track. As a result, there may be times when an ETN trades at a premium or discount to its market benchmark or strategy.
Debt
Investments
U.S. Government
Obligations. U.S. Government obligations are obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, and include bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as
“stripped” or “zero coupon” U.S. Treasury obligations.
U.S. Government obligations may be, (i)
supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, (iii) supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s
obligations, or (iv) supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. There is a risk that the U.S. Government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated
to do so. In that case, if the issuer were to default, 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.
Inflation-Indexed Bonds. Inflation-Indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Two structures are common.
The U.S. Treasury and some other issuers use a structure that accrues inflation into the principal value of the bond. Most other issuers pay out the Consumer Price Index (CPI) accruals as part of a semiannual coupon.
Inflation-indexed securities issued by the
U.S. Treasury have maturities of five, ten or thirty years, although it is possible that securities with other maturities will be issued in the future. The U.S. Treasury securities pay interest on a semi-annual basis, equal to a fixed percentage of
the inflation-adjusted principal amount. For example, if a Fund purchased an inflation-indexed bond with a par value of $1,000 and a 3% real rate of return coupon (payable 1.5% semi-annually), and inflation over the first six months was 1%, the
mid-year par value of the bond would be $1,010 and the first semi-annual interest payment would be $15.15 ($1,010 times 1.5%). If inflation during the second half of the year resulted in the whole years’ inflation equaling 3%, the end-of-year
par value of the bond would be $1,030 and the second semiannual interest payment would be $15.45 ($1,030 times 1.5%).
If the periodic adjustment rate measuring
inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original
bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds, even during a period of deflation. However, the current market value of the bonds is not guaranteed, and will fluctuate. The
Fund may also invest in other inflation related bonds which may or may not provide a similar guarantee. If a guarantee of principal is not provided, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original
principal.
The value of
inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates in turn are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation were to rise at a
faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-indexed bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise,
leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds.
While these securities are expected to be
protected from long-term inflationary trends, short-term increases in inflation may lead to a decline in value. If interest rates rise due to reasons other than inflation (for example, due to changes in currency exchange rates), investors in these
securities may not be protected to the extent that the increase is not reflected in the bond’s inflation measure.
The periodic adjustment of U.S.
inflation-indexed bonds is tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPI-U), which is calculated monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-U is a measurement of changes in the cost of living, made up of components such as
housing, food, transportation and energy. Inflation-indexed bonds issued by a foreign government are generally adjusted to reflect a comparable inflation index, calculated by that government. There can be no assurance that the CPI-U or any foreign
inflation index will accurately measure the real rate of inflation in the prices of goods and services. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the rate of inflation in a foreign country will be correlated to the rate of inflation in the United
States.
Any increase in the principal
amount of an inflation-indexed bond will be considered taxable ordinary income, even though investors do not receive their principal until maturity.
Temporary Investments. Each Fund 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.
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 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. Discussions among policymakers continue, however, as to whether FNMA and FHLMC should be nationalized,
privatized, restructured, or eliminated altogether. 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.
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.
Commercial instruments are a type of
instrument issued by large banks and corporations to raise money to meet their short-term debt obligations, and are only backed by the issuing bank or corporation’s promise to pay the face amount on the maturity date specified on the note.
Commercial paper consists of short-term promissory notes issued by corporations. Commercial paper may be traded in the secondary market after its issuance. Master notes are demand notes that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at
varying rates of interest pursuant to arrangements with issuers who meet the credit quality criteria of the Funds. The interest rate on a master note may fluctuate based on changes in specified interest rates or may
be reset periodically according to a prescribed formula or may be a set rate.
Although there is no secondary market in master notes, if such notes have a demand feature, the payee may demand payment of the principal amount of the note upon relatively short notice. Master notes are generally illiquid and therefore typically
subject to the Funds’ percentage limitations for investments in illiquid securities. Commercial instruments may not be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Synthetic Municipal Instruments. Each Fund may invest in 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 and variable rate trust certificates. These types of instruments involve the deposit into a trust or custodial account of one or more long-term tax-exempt bonds or notes (Underlying Bonds),
and the sale of certificates evidencing interests in the trust or custodial account to investors such as the Fund. The trustee or custodian receives the long-term fixed rate interest payments on the Underlying Bonds, and pays certificate holders
fixed rates or short-term floating or variable interest rates which are reset periodically. A “tender option bond” provides a certificate holder with the conditional right to sell its certificate to the sponsor or some designated third
party at specified intervals and receive the par value of the certificate plus accrued interest (a demand feature). A “fixed rate trust certificate” evidences an interest in a trust entitling a certificate holder to 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 Internal Revenue Service (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
of 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. Special
considerations relating to jurisdictions in which the Funds invest are located in Appendix P.
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, a Fund might have to reinvest the proceeds of the called bond in investments that pa a lower rate of
return, which could reduce a Fund’s yield.
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.
Another type of revenue obligation 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 securities 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.
Inverse Floating Rate Obligations. Inverse floating rate obligations are variable rate debt instruments that pay interest at rates that move in the opposite direction of prevailing interest rates. Because the interest rate paid to holders of such
obligations is generally determined by subtracting a variable or floating rate from a predetermined amount, the interest rate paid to holders of such obligations will decrease as such
variable or floating rate increases and increase as such variable or floating
rate decreases. The inverse floating rate obligations in which a Fund may invest include derivative instruments such as residual interest bonds, tender option bonds (TOBs) or municipal bond trust certificates. Such instruments are typically created
by a special purpose trust (the TOB Trust) that holds long-term fixed rate bonds, which are contributed by a Fund (the “underlying security”), and sells two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate interests, which are
sold to or held by third party investors (Floaters), and inverse floating residual interests, which are purchased by the Funds (Residuals). The Floaters have first priority on the cash flow from the bonds held by the TOB Trust and a Fund (as holder
of the Residuals) is paid the residual cash flow from the bonds held by the TOB Trust. Like most other fixed-income securities, the value of inverse floating rate obligations will decrease as interest rates increase. They are more volatile, however,
than most other fixed-income securities because the coupon rate on an inverse floating rate obligation typically changes at a multiple of the change in the relevant index rate. Thus, any rise in the index rate (as a consequence of an increase in
interest rates) causes a correspondingly greater drop in the coupon rate of an inverse floating rate obligation while a drop in the index rate causes a correspondingly greater increase in the coupon of an inverse floating rate obligation. Some
inverse floating rate obligations may also increase or decrease substantially because of changes in the rate of prepayments. Inverse floating rate obligations tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate
environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Inverse floating rate obligations have varying degrees of liquidity.
The primary risks associated with inverse
floating rate securities are varying degrees of liquidity and decreases in the value of such securities in response to changes in interest rates to a greater extent than fixed rate securities having similar credit quality, redemption provisions and
maturity, which may cause the Fund’s net asset value to be more volatile than if it had not invested in inverse floating rate securities. In certain instances, the short-term floating rate notes created by the TOB Trust may not be able to be
sold to third parties or, in the case of holders tendering (or putting) such notes for repayment of principal, may not be able to be remarketed to third parties. In such cases, the TOB Trust holding the fixed rate bonds may be collapsed with the
entity that contributed the fixed rate bonds to the TOB Trust. In the case where a TOB Trust is collapsed with a Fund, the Fund will be required to repay the principal amount of the tendered securities, which may require the Fund to sell other
portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet that obligation. The Fund could therefore be required to sell other portfolio holdings at a disadvantageous time or price to raise cash to meet this obligation, which risk will be heightened during times of
market volatility, illiquidity or uncertainty. The embedded leverage in the TOB Trust could cause a Fund to lose more money than the value of the asset it has contributed to the TOB Trust and greater levels of leverage create the potential for
greater losses. In addition, a Fund may enter into reimbursement agreements with the liquidity provider of certain TOB transactions in connection with certain residuals held by the Fund. These agreements commit a Fund to reimburse the liquidity
provider to the extent that the liquidity provider must provide cash to a TOB Trust, including following the termination of a TOB Trust resulting from a mandatory tender event (“liquidity shortfall”). The reimbursement agreement will
effectively make the Fund liable for the amount of the negative difference, if any, between the liquidation value of the underlying security and the purchase price of the floating rate notes issued by the TOB Trust.
Final rules implementing section 619 of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”) prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limit such entities’ investments in, and relationships with,
“covered funds”, as defined in the rules. These rules preclude banking entities and their affiliates from sponsoring and/or providing services for existing TOB Trusts. A new TOB structure is being utilized by a Fund wherein the Fund, as
holder of the residuals, will perform certain duties previously performed by banking entities as “sponsors” of TOB Trusts. These duties may be performed by a third-party service provider. A Fund’s expanded role under the new TOB
structure may increase its operational and regulatory risk. The new structure is substantially similar to the previous structure; however, pursuant to the Volcker Rule, the remarketing agent would not be able to repurchase tendered floaters for its
own account upon a failed remarketing. In the event of a failed remarketing, a banking entity serving as liquidity provider may loan the necessary funds to the TOB Trust to purchase the tendered floaters. The TOB Trust, not a Fund, would be the
borrower and the loan from the liquidity provider
will be secured by the purchased floaters now held by the TOB Trust. However,
as previously described, a Fund would bear the risk of loss with respect to any liquidity shortfall to the extent it entered into a reimbursement agreement with the liquidity provider.
Further, the SEC and various banking
agencies have adopted rules implementing credit risk retention requirements for asset-backed securities (the Risk Retention Rules). The Risk Retention Rules require the sponsor of a TOB Trust to retain at least 5% of the credit risk of the
underlying assets supporting the TOB Trust’s municipal bonds. As applicable, the Funds have adopted policies intended to comply with the Risk Retention Rules. The Risk Retention Rules may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to engage in
TOB Trust transactions or increase the costs of such transactions in certain circumstances.
There can be no assurances that the new TOB
structure will continue to be a viable form of leverage. Further, there can be no assurances that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund in order to maintain current levels of leverage. Any alternative forms of leverage may be
less advantageous to a Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, distribution rate and ability to achieve its investment objective.
Certificates of participation (or
Participation certificates) are obligations issued by state or local governments or authorities to finance the acquisition of equipment and facilities. They may represent participations in a lease, an installment purchase contract or a conditional
sales contract. These participation interests may give the purchaser an undivided interest in one or more underlying Municipal Securities. Municipal securities may not be backed by the faith, credit and taxing power of the issuer.
Custodial receipts are underwritten by
securities dealers or banks and evidence ownership of future interest payments, principal payments or both on certain municipal securities.
Municipal Lease Obligations. Municipal lease obligations, a type of Municipal Security, may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase contract or a conditional sales contract. Municipal lease obligations are issued by state and local
governments and authorities to acquire land, equipment and facilities such as state and municipal vehicles, telecommunications and computer equipment, and other capital assets. 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 on illiquid
investments and the risks of holding illiquid investments.
Municipal Forward Contracts. A municipal forward contract is a Municipal Security which is purchased on a when-issued basis with longer-than-standard settlement dates, in some cases taking place up to five years from the date of purchase. The
buyer, in this case a Fund, will execute a receipt evidencing the obligation to purchase the bond on the specified issue date, and must segregate cash to meet that forward commitment. Municipal forward contracts typically carry a substantial yield
premium to compensate the buyer for the risks associated with a long when-issued period, including shifts in market interest rates that could materially impact the principal value of the bond, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer, loss
of alternative investment options during the when-issued period and failure of the issuer to complete various steps required to issue the bonds.
Tobacco Related Bonds. The Fund may invest in two types of tobacco related bonds: (i) tobacco settlement revenue bonds, for which payments of interest and principal are made solely
from a state’s interest in the Master Settlement Agreement (“MSA”) and (ii) tobacco bonds subject to a state’s appropriation pledge, for which payments may come from both the MSA revenue and the applicable state’s
appropriation pledge.
Tobacco
Settlement Revenue Bonds. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in tobacco settlement revenue bonds. Tobacco settlement revenue bonds are
secured by an issuing state’s proportionate share in the MSA, a litigation settlement agreement reached out of court in November 1998 between 46 states and six other U.S. jurisdictions and the four largest U.S. tobacco manufacturers at that
time. Subsequently, a number of smaller tobacco manufacturers signed on to the MSA, which provides for annual payments by the manufacturers to the states and other jurisdictions in perpetuity. The MSA established a base payment schedule and a
formula for adjusting payments each year. Tobacco manufacturers pay into a master escrow trust based on their market share and each state receives a fixed percentage of the payment.
A number of states have securitized the
future flow of those payments by selling bonds, some through distinct governmental entities created for such purpose. The bonds are backed by the future revenue flows from the tobacco manufacturers. Annual payments on the bonds, and thus the risk to
the Fund, are highly dependent on the receipt of future settlement payments. The amount of future settlement payments is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, annual domestic cigarette shipments, cigarette consumption, inflation
and the financial capability of participating tobacco companies. As a result, payments made by tobacco manufacturers could be reduced if the decrease in tobacco consumption is significantly greater than the forecasted decline. A market share loss by
the MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond payments, which could
affect the Fund’s net asset value.
On June 22, 2009, President Obama signed
into law the “Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act” which extends the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to encompass the regulation of tobacco products. Among other things, the legislation authorizes
the FDA to adopt product standards for tobacco products, restrict advertising of tobacco products, and impose stricter warning labels. FDA regulation of tobacco products could result in greater decreases in tobacco consumption than originally
forecasted. On August 31, 2009, a number of tobacco manufacturers filed suit in federal court in Kentucky alleging that certain of the provisions of the FDA Tobacco Act restricting the advertising and marketing of tobacco products are inconsistent
with the freedom of speech guarantees of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The suit does not challenge Congress’ decision to give the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco products or the vast majority of the provisions of
the law.
Because tobacco settlement
bonds are backed by payments from the tobacco manufacturers, and generally not by the credit of the state or local government issuing the bonds, their creditworthiness depends on the ability of tobacco manufacturers to meet their obligations. A
market share loss by the MSA companies to non-MSA participating tobacco manufacturers could also cause a downward adjustment in the payment amounts. A participating manufacturer filing for bankruptcy also could cause delays or reductions in bond
payments, which could affect the Fund’s net asset value.
The MSA and tobacco manufacturers have been
and continue to be subject to various legal claims. An adverse outcome to any litigation matters relating to the MSA or affecting tobacco manufacturers could adversely affect the payment streams associated with the MSA or cause delays or reductions
in bond payments by tobacco manufacturers. The MSA itself has been subject to legal challenges and has, to date, withstood those challenges.
Tobacco Subject to Appropriation (STA) Bonds. In addition to the tobacco settlement bonds discussed above, the Fund also may invest in tobacco related bonds that are subject to a state’s
appropriation pledge (STA Tobacco Bonds). STA Tobacco Bonds rely on both the revenue source from the MSA and a state appropriation pledge.
These STA Tobacco Bonds are part of a larger
category of municipal bonds that are subject to state appropriation. Although specific provisions may vary among states, “subject to appropriation bonds” (also referred to as “appropriation debt”) are typically payable from
two distinct sources: (i) a dedicated revenue source such as a municipal enterprise, a special tax or, in the case of tobacco bonds, the MSA funds, and (ii) the issuer’s general funds. Appropriation debt differs from a state’s general
obligation debt in that general obligation debt is backed by the state’s full faith, credit and taxing power, while appropriation debt requires the state to pass a specific periodic appropriation to pay interest and/or principal on the bonds
as the payments come due. The appropriation is usually made annually. While STA Tobacco Bonds offer an enhanced credit support feature, that feature is generally not an unconditional guarantee of payment by a state and states generally do not pledge
the full faith, credit or taxing power of the state.
Litigation Challenging the MSA. The participating manufacturers and states in the MSA are subject to several pending lawsuits challenging the MSA and/or related state legislation or statutes
adopted by the states to implement the MSA (referred to herein as the “MSA-related legislation”). One or more of the lawsuits allege, among other things, that the MSA and/or the states’ MSA-related legislation are void or
unenforceable under the Commerce Clause and certain other provisions of the U.S. Constitution, the federal antitrust laws, federal civil rights laws, state constitutions, consumer protection laws and unfair competition laws.
To date, challenges to the MSA or the
states’ MSA-related legislation have not been ultimately successful, although several such challenges have survived initial appellate review of motions to dismiss or have proceeded to a stage of litigation where the ultimate outcome may be
determined by, among other things, findings of fact based on extrinsic evidence as to the operation and impact of the MSA and the states’ MSA-related legislation.
The MSA and states’ MSA-related
legislation may also continue to be challenged in the future. A determination that the MSA or states’ MSA-related legislation is void or unenforceable would have a material adverse effect on the payments made by the participating manufacturers
under the MSA.
Litigation Seeking
Monetary Relief from Tobacco Industry Participants. The tobacco industry has been the target of litigation for many years. Both individual and class action lawsuits have been brought by or on behalf of smokers
alleging that smoking has been injurious to their health, and by non-smokers alleging harm from environmental tobacco smoke, also known as “secondhand smoke.” Plaintiffs seek various forms of relief, including compensatory and punitive
damages aggregating billions of dollars, treble/multiple damages and other statutory damages and penalties, creation of medical monitoring and smoking cessation funds, disgorgement of profits, legal fees, and injunctive and equitable
relief.
The MSA does not
release participating manufacturers from liability in either individual or class action cases. Healthcare cost recovery cases have also been brought by governmental and non-governmental healthcare providers seeking, among other things, reimbursement
for healthcare expenditures incurred in connection with the treatment of medical conditions allegedly caused by smoking. The participating manufacturers are also exposed to liability in these cases, because the MSA only settled healthcare cost
recovery claims of the participating states. Litigation has also been brought against certain participating manufacturers and their affiliates in foreign countries.
The ultimate outcome of any pending or
future lawsuit is uncertain. Verdicts of substantial magnitude that are enforceable as to one or more participating manufacturers, if they occur, could encourage commencement of additional litigation, or could negatively affect perceptions of
potential triers of fact with respect to the tobacco industry, possibly to the detriment of pending litigation. An unfavorable outcome or settlement or one or more adverse judgments could result in a decision by the affected participating
manufacturers to substantially increase cigarette prices, thereby reducing cigarette consumption beyond the forecasts under the MSA. In addition, the financial condition of any or all of the participating manufacturer defendants could be materially
and adversely affected by the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, including bonding and litigation costs or a verdict or verdicts awarding substantial compensatory or punitive damages. Depending upon the magnitude of any such negative financial
impact (and irrespective of whether
the participating manufacturer is thereby rendered insolvent), an adverse
outcome in one or more of the lawsuits could substantially impair the affected participating manufacturer’s ability to make payments under the MSA.
Investments in Municipal Preferred Shares
Issued by a Closed-End Fund. Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund,
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey
Municipal Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund may invest in municipal preferred shares issued by a type of investment company known as a closed-end fund. Closed-end funds may issue preferred shares, subject to
the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act, to raise capital that can be used to purchase more securities for its portfolio. While these municipal preferred shares are equity securities that have a fixed, monthly dividend rate payable from the
company’s earnings, their fixed dividend rate, among other features, causes preferred shares to have similar characteristics to debt securities. Income earned from investments in these preferred shares is expected to be exempt from federal
income taxes.
If interest rates
rise, the fixed dividend on preferred shares may be less attractive and the price of those securities will likely decline. If interest rates fall their price will likely increase. In addition to interest rate risk, investments in municipal preferred
shares issued by a closed-end fund may be subject to credit risk, early redemption risk and reinvestment risk. Municipal preferred shares have provisions for their redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect on their prices when
interest rates fall. Although these municipal preferred shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, there is a risk that the market for these shares may be thinly traded and relatively illiquid compared to the market for other types of
securities.
The Fund may pay
transaction fees in connection with acquiring or disposing of the preferred shares. The Fund does not intend to invest in these investment companies unless the Adviser believes that the potential benefits of an investment justify any transaction
fees.
Although these municipal
preferred shares do not constitute a liability of the issuer and therefore do not offer the same degree of capital protection as debt securities, the municipal preferred shares rank ahead of common stock in claims for dividends and for assets of the
issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Investments in other investment companies are subject to limits set forth in the 1940 Act. As a result, the Fund cannot invest more than 5% of its total assets in any single closed-end fund or other investment
company and cannot invest in aggregate more than 10% of its total assets in multiple closed-end funds and other investment companies.
Land-Secured or “Dirt” Bonds
(Special Tax or Special Assessment Bonds). The Funds (except for Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund, Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund, Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income
Fund, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Municipal Income Fund) may invest in municipal securities that are issued in connection with special taxing districts that are organized to plan and finance infrastructure development to
induce residential, commercial and industrial growth and redevelopment. The bonds financed by these methods, such as tax assessment, special tax or tax increment financing generally are payable solely from taxes or other revenues attributable to the
specific projects financed by the bonds, without recourse to the credit or taxing power of related or overlapping municipalities.
These projects often are exposed to real
estate development-related risks, such as failure of property development, unavailability of financing, extended vacancies of properties, increased competition, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, lessening demand for properties,
and changes in interest rates. These real estate risks may be heightened if a project were subject to foreclosure. Additionally, upon foreclosure the Fund might be required to pay certain maintenance or operating expenses or taxes relating to such
projects. These expenses could increase the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns.
In addition, the bonds financing these
projects may have more taxpayer concentration risk than general tax-supported bonds, such as general obligation bonds. Further, the fees, special taxes, or tax allocations and other revenues that are established to secure such financings generally
are limited as to the rate or amount that may be levied or assessed and are not subject to increase pursuant to rate covenants or municipal or corporate guarantees. The bonds could default if a development failed to progress as anticipated of if
taxpayers failed to pay the assessments, fees and taxes as provided in the financing plans of the projects.
Municipal Securities also include the
following securities:
•
|
Bond Anticipation Notes
usually are general obligations of state and local governmental issuers which are sold to obtain interim financing for projects that will eventually be funded through the sale of long-term debt obligations or bonds.
|
•
|
Revenue Anticipation Debt
Securities, including bonds, notes, and certificates, are issued by governments or governmental bodies with the expectation that future revenues from a designated source will be used to repay the securities. In general, they also constitute general
obligations of the issuer.
|
•
|
Tax Anticipation Notes are
issued by state and local governments to finance the current operations of such governments. Repayment is generally to be derived from specific future tax revenues. Tax anticipation notes are usually general obligations of the issuer.
|
•
|
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 substitute 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.
|
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 (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. Certain Funds can invest up to 20% of their
net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that generate income subject to income taxes.
Taxable investments include, for example,
hedging instruments, repurchase agreements, and many of the types of securities the Fund would buy for temporary defensive purposes.
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.
Investment Grade Debt Obligations. Debt obligations include, among others, bonds, notes, debentures or variable rate demand notes. They may be in U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or U.S. commercial
banks, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers or debt obligations of foreign issuers denominated in foreign currencies. Debt obligations include, among others, bonds, notes, debentures and variable rate demand
notes.
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) comparably rated short term securities, or (iii) unrated securities determined
by the Adviser to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. Descriptions of debt securities ratings are found in Appendix A.
In choosing corporate debt securities on
behalf of a Fund, portfolio managers may consider:
i.
|
general economic and
financial conditions;
|
ii.
|
the specific issuer’s
(a) business and management, (b) cash flow, (c) earnings coverage of interest and dividends, (d) ability to operate under adverse economic conditions, (e) fair market value of assets, and (f) in the case of foreign issuers, unique political,
economic or social conditions applicable to such issuer’s country; and,
|
iii.
|
other
considerations deemed appropriate.
|
Debt securities are subject to a variety of
risks, such as interest rate risk, income risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk, credit risk, currency risk and default risk.
Non-Investment Grade Debt Obligations (Junk
Bonds).
Bonds rated below or
determined to be below investment grade (as defined above in “Investment Grade Debt Obligations”) are commonly referred to as “junk bonds.” Analysis of the creditworthiness of junk bond
issuers is more complex than that of investment-grade issuers and the success
of a Fund’s adviser in managing these decisions is more dependent upon its own credit analysis than is the case with investment-grade bonds.
The capacity of junk bonds to pay interest
and repay principal is considered speculative. While junk bonds may provide an opportunity for greater income and gains, they are subject to greater risks than higher-rated debt securities. The prices of and yields on junk bonds may fluctuate to a
greater extent than those of higher-rated debt securities. Junk bonds are generally more sensitive to individual issuer developments, economic conditions and regulatory changes than higher-rated bonds. Issuers of junk bonds are often smaller,
less-seasoned companies or companies that are highly leveraged with more traditional methods of financing unavailable to them. Junk bonds are generally at a higher risk of default because such issues are often unsecured or otherwise subordinated to
claims of the issuer’s other creditors. If a junk bond issuer defaults, a Fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. The secondary markets in which junk bonds are traded may be thin and less liquid than the market for higher-rated
debt securities and a Fund may have difficulty selling certain junk bonds at the desired time and price. Less liquidity in secondary trading markets could adversely affect the price at which a Fund could sell a particular junk bond, and could cause
large fluctuations in the net asset value of that Fund’s shares. The lack of a liquid secondary market may also make it more difficult for a Fund to obtain accurate market quotations in valuing junk bond assets and elements of judgment may
play a greater role in the valuation.
Distressed Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in 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
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 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.
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 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. As a result, the Fund will be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In addition, a 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, a 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, a
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 of the agent. In the event of the borrower's bankruptcy, the borrower's obligation to repay the loan may be subject to defenses that the borrower can assert as a result of improper conduct by the agent.
When a Fund purchases assignments from
lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. However, because assignments are arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the rights and obligations acquired by a Fund as the
purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. In addition, if the loan is foreclosed, a Fund could be part owner of any collateral and could bear the costs and liabilities of owning and
disposing of the collateral.
Investments in loans, loan participations
and assignments present the possibility that a Fund could be held liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of lender liability. The Fund anticipates that loans, loan participations and assignments could be sold only to a limited number of
institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a loan, it may be more difficult to sell the interests in such a loan at a price that is acceptable or to even obtain pricing information. In addition, some loans, loan
participations and assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies. Loans held by a Fund might not be considered securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the 1933 Act), or the Exchange Act and therefore a risk exists
that purchasers, such as the Fund, may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud provisions of those Acts.
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.
Although loan investments are generally
subject to certain restrictive covenants in favor of the investor, certain of the loans in which a Fund may invest may be issued or offered as “covenant lite” loans, which have few or no financial maintenance covenants. “Financial
maintenance covenants” are those that require a borrower to maintain certain financial metrics during the life of the loan, such as maintaining certain levels of cash flow or limiting leverage. These covenants are included to permit the lender
to monitor the borrower's performance and declare an event of default if breached, allowing the lender to renegotiate the terms of the loan or take other actions intended to help mitigate losses. Accordingly, a Fund may experience relatively greater
difficulty or delays in enforcing its rights on its holdings of covenant lite loans than its holdings of loans or securities with financial maintenance covenants, which may result in losses to the Fund, especially during a downturn in the credit
cycle. Although covenant lite loans contain few or no financial maintenance covenants, information necessary to monitor a borrower's financial performance may be available without covenants to lenders and the public alike, and can be used to detect
such early warning signs as deterioration of a borrower's financial condition or results. When such information is available, the Adviser will seek to take appropriate actions 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.
It is expected that the majority of floating
rate loans and debt securities will have stated maturities of three to ten years. However, because floating rate loans and debt securities are frequently prepaid, it is expected that the average maturity will be three to five years. The degree to
which borrowers prepay floating rate loans and debt securities, whether as a contractual requirement or at the borrower’s election, may be affected by general business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition and competitive
conditions among lenders. Prepayments cannot be predicted with accuracy. Prepayments may result in a Fund’s investing in floating rate loans and debt securities with lower yields.
Investments in loans, loan participations
and assignments present the possibility that a Fund could be held liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of lender liability. Each Fund anticipates that loans, loan participations and assignments could be sold only to a limited number
of institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a loan, it may be more difficult to sell the interests in such a loan at a price that is acceptable or to even obtain pricing information. In addition, some loans, loan
participations and assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies. Loans held by the Funds might not be considered securities for the purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such as the Funds may not be entitled to rely on the anti-fraud provisions of those Acts.
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 securities 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 investment in illiquid securities. The secondary market for bank loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads
and extended trade settlement periods.
Bank loans are subject to the risk of
default. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result in a reduction of income to a Fund, a reduction in the value of the loan, and a potential decrease in the Fund’s net asset value. The risk of default will increase
in the event of an economic downturn or a substantial increase in interest rates. Bank loans are subject to the risk that the cash flow of the borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments.
As discussed above, however, because bank loans reside higher in the capital structure than high yield bonds, default losses have been historically lower in the bank loan market. Bank loans that are rated below investment grade share the same risks
of other below investment grade securities.
Structured Notes and Indexed Securities. Structured notes are derivative debt instruments, the interest rate or principal of which is linked to currencies, interest rates, commodities, indices or other financial indicators (reference instruments). Indexed
securities may include structured notes and other securities wherein the interest rate or principal is determined by a reference instrument.
Most structured notes and indexed securities
are fixed income securities that have maturities of three years or less. The interest rate or the principal amount payable at maturity of an indexed security may vary based on changes in one or more specified reference instruments, such as a
floating interest rate compared with a fixed interest rate. The reference instrument need not be related to the terms of the indexed security. Structured notes and indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed (i.e., their principal
value or interest rates may increase or decrease if the underlying reference instrument appreciates), and may have return characteristics similar to direct investments in the underlying reference instrument or to one or more options on the
underlying reference instrument.
Structured notes and indexed securities may
entail a greater degree of market risk than other types of debt securities because the investor bears the risk of the reference instrument. Structured notes or indexed securities also may be more volatile, less liquid, and more difficult to
accurately price than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities. In addition to the credit risk of the structured note or indexed security’s issuer and the normal risks of price changes in response to changes
in interest rates, the principal amount of structured notes or indexed securities may decrease as a result of changes in the value of the underlying reference instruments. Further, in the case of certain structured notes or indexed securities in
which the interest rate, or exchange rate in the case of currency, is linked to a reference instrument, the rate may be increased or decreased or the terms may provide that, under certain circumstances, the principal amount payable on maturity may
be reduced to zero resulting in a loss to the Fund.
U.S. Corporate Debt Obligations. Corporate debt obligations in which the Funds may invest 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 investments in illiquid securities.
Regulation S Securities. Regulation S securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the 1933 Act. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be
conducted outside of the United States, and Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Although Regulation S securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the
price realized from these sales could be less than that originally paid by a Fund. Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable
if their securities were publicly traded. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses.
Other
Investments
Real Estate
Investment Trusts (REITs). REITs are trusts that sell equity or debt securities to investors and use the proceeds to invest in real estate or interest therein. A REIT may focus on particular projects, such as
apartment complexes, or geographic regions, such as the southeastern United States or both. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also
realize capital gains by selling property that has appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments.
Investments in REITs may be subject to many
of the same risks as direct investments in real estate. These risks include difficulties in valuing and trading real estate, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions, adverse changes in the climate
for real estate, environmental liability risks, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, limitations on rents, changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of properties to tenants,
heavy cash flow dependency and increases in interest rates. To the extent that a Fund invests in REITs, the Fund could conceivably own 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.
Other Investment Companies. Unless otherwise indicated in this SAI or in a Fund’s prospectus, each Fund may purchase shares of other investment companies, including ETFs. The 1940 Act imposes the following restrictions on investments in
other investment companies: (i) a Fund may not purchase more than
3% of the total outstanding voting stock of another investment company; (ii)
a Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in securities issued by another investment company; and (iii) a Fund may not invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities issued by other investment companies. The 1940 Act and related
rules provide certain exemptions from these restrictions. For example, under certain conditions, a Fund may acquire an unlimited amount of shares of mutual funds that are part of the same group of investment companies as the acquiring fund. In
addition, these restrictions do not apply to investments by the Fund in investment companies that are money market funds, including money market funds that have Invesco or an affiliate of Invesco as an investment adviser (the Affiliated Money Market
Funds).
When a Fund purchases shares
of another investment company, including an Affiliated Money Market Fund, 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.
On a temporary basis, the Invesco
Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in shares of other investment companies that
have an investment objective of seeking income exempt from federal and California personal income taxes. It can invest up to 5% of its total assets in any one investment company (but cannot own more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of that
company). These limits do not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of another investment company. Because the Fund would be subject to its ratable share of the other investment company's expenses in
addition to its own expenses, the Fund will not make these investments unless the Adviser believes that the potential investment benefits justify the added costs and expenses.
In December 2018, the SEC issued a proposed
rulemaking package related to investments in other investment vehicles that, if adopted, could require certain Funds to adjust their investments accordingly. These adjustments may have an impact on the Fund’s investment performance, strategy
and process as well as those of the underlying investment vehicles.
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). Certain Funds may invest in MLPs.
MLPs are generally 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 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 a Fund when it invests in MLPs. MLPs are generally treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Partnerships do not pay U.S. federal income tax at the partnership level, subject to the
application of certain partnership audit rules. Rather, each partner is allocated a share of the partnership’s income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses. A change in current tax law or a change in the underlying business mix of a given
MLP could result in an MLP being treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which would result in the MLP being required to pay U.S. federal income tax (as well as state and local income taxes) on its taxable income. This would
have the effect of reducing the amount of cash available for distribution by the MLP and could result in a reduction in the value of a Fund’s investment in the MLP and lower income to a Fund. Also, to the extent a distribution received by a
Fund from an MLP is treated as a return of capital, a Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the interests of the MLP will be reduced, which may increase a Fund’s tax liability upon the sale of the interests in the MLP or upon subsequent
distributions in respect of such interests.
Private Investments in Public Equity. Private investments in public equity (PIPES) are equity securities in a private placement that are issued by issuers who have outstanding, publicly-traded equity securities of the same class. Shares in PIPES generally
are not registered with the SEC until after a certain
time period from the date the private sale is completed. This restricted
period can last many months. Until the public registration process is completed, PIPES are restricted as to resale and the Fund cannot freely trade the securities. Generally, such restrictions cause the PIPES to be illiquid during this time. PIPES
may contain provisions that the issuer will pay specified financial penalties to the holder if the issuer does not publicly register the restricted equity securities within a specified period of time, but there is no assurance that the restricted
equity securities will be publicly registered, or that the registration will remain in effect.
Defaulted Securities. Defaulted securities are debt securities on which the issuer is not currently making interest payments. In order to enforce its rights in defaulted securities, the 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 the Fund’s operating expenses and adversely affect its net asset value. Risks of defaulted securities
may be considerably higher as they are generally unsecured and subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. Any investments by the Funds in defaulted securities generally will also be considered illiquid investments subject to the limitations
described herein, except as otherwise may be determined under the Trust’s applicable policies and procedures.
Variable or Floating Rate Instruments. Variable or floating rate instruments are securities that provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the obligation. The interest rates for securities with variable interest rates are readjusted on
set dates (such as the last day of the month or calendar quarter) and the interest rates for securities with floating rates are reset whenever a specified interest rate change occurs. Variable or floating interest rates generally reduce changes in
the market price of securities from their original purchase price because, upon readjustment, such rates approximate market rates. Accordingly, as market interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is
less for variable or floating rate securities than for fixed rate obligations. Many securities with variable or floating interest rates have a demand feature allowing the Fund to demand payment of principal and accrued interest prior to its
maturity. The terms of such demand instruments require payment of principal and accrued interest by the issuer, a guarantor, and/or a liquidity provider. All variable or floating rate instruments will meet the applicable rating standards of the
Funds. A Fund’s Adviser, or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate demand obligation meets the Fund’s rating standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued
by a bank that meets those rating standards.
The secondary market for certain floating
rate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods (in some cases, longer than seven days). Certain floating rate loans held by a Fund might not be considered securities for purposes
of the Exchange Act and therefore a risk exists that purchasers, such as the Funds, may not be entitled to rely on the antifraud provisions of those Acts.
Premium Securities. Premium securities are securities bearing coupon rates higher than the then prevailing market rates.
Premium securities are typically purchased
at a “premium,” in other words, at a price greater than the principal amount payable on maturity. The Fund will not amortize the premium paid for such securities in calculating its net investment income. As a result, in such cases the
purchase of premium securities provides the Fund a higher level of investment income distributable to shareholders on a current basis than if the Fund purchased securities bearing current market rates of interest. However, the yield on these
securities would remain at the current market rate. If securities purchased by the Fund at a premium are called or sold prior to maturity, the Fund will realize a loss to the extent the call or sale price is less than the purchase price.
Additionally, the Fund will realize a loss of principal if it holds such securities to maturity.
Stripped Income Securities. Stripped Income Securities are obligations representing an interest in all or a portion of the income or principal components of an underlying or related security, a pool of securities, or other assets. Stripped income
securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped, where one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only class or the IO class), while the other
class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only class or the PO class).
The market values of stripped income
securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than are conventional income securities. In the case of mortgage-backed stripped income securities, the yields to maturity of IOs and POs may be very sensitive to principal
repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages resulting in a Fund being unable to recoup its initial investment or resulting in a less than anticipated yield. The market for stripped income securities may be limited, making it
difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price.
Privatizations. The governments of certain foreign countries have, to varying degrees, embarked on privatization programs to sell part or all of their interests in government owned or controlled companies or enterprises
(privatizations). A Fund’s investments in such privatizations may include: (i) privately negotiated investments in a government owned or controlled company or enterprise; (ii) investments in the initial offering of equity securities of a
government owned or controlled company or enterprise; and (iii) investments in the securities of a government owned or controlled company or enterprise following its initial equity offering.
In certain foreign countries, the ability of
foreign entities such as the Fund to participate in privatizations may be limited by local law, or the terms on which the Fund may be permitted to participate may be less advantageous than those for local investors. There can be no assurance that
foreign governments will continue to sell companies and enterprises currently owned or controlled by them, that privatization programs will be successful, or that foreign governments will not re-nationalize companies or enterprises that have been
privatized. If large blocks of these enterprises are held by a small group of stockholders the sale of all or some portion of these blocks could have an adverse effect on the price.
Participation Notes. Participation notes, also known as participation certificates, are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to replicate the performance of foreign companies or foreign securities markets and can be used by
the Fund as an alternative means to access the securities market of a country. Participation notes are generally traded OTC. The performance results of participation notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the foreign company or foreign
securities market that they seek to replicate due to transaction and other expenses. Investments in participation notes involve the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying foreign companies or foreign securities market that
they seek to replicate. In addition, participation notes are subject to counterparty risk, currency risk and reinvestment risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues them will not fulfill its contractual obligation
to complete the transaction with the Fund. Participation notes constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, and a Fund is relying on the creditworthiness of such banks or broker-dealers and has
no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying assets. Additionally, there is a currency risk since the dollar value of the Fund’s foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the
dollar and (a) the currencies in which the notes are denominated, such as euro denominated participation notes, and (b) the currency of the country in which the foreign company sits. Also, there is a reinvestment risk because the amounts from the
note may be reinvested in a less valuable investment when the note matures.
Investment
Techniques
Forward Commitments,
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities. A Fund may purchase and sell securities on a forward commitment when-issued and delayed delivery basis whereby the Fund buys or sells a security with payment and delivery
taking place in the future. Securities purchased or sold on a forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery basis involve delivery and payment that take place in the future after the 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
also include “to be announced” (TBA) dollar roll transactions, which are contracts for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities to be delivered at a future agreed upon date, whereby the specific mortgage-backed securities that
will be delivered to fulfill the trade obligation or terms of the contract are not specifically identified at the time of the trade. A Fund may also enter into buy/sell back transactions (a form of delayed delivery agreement). In a buy/sell back
transaction, a Fund enters a trade to
sell securities at one price and simultaneously enters a trade to buy the
same securities at another price for settlement at a future 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 sell these securities or its
commitment before the settlement date if deemed advisable. No specific limitation exists as to the percentage of a 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 rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuation, 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 obligations to a
Fund. A Fund may obtain no or only limited recovery in a bankruptcy or other organizational proceedings, and any recovery may be significantly delayed. With respect to forward settling TBA transactions involving U.S. Government agency
mortgage-backed securities, 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. Additionally, new regulatory rules
anticipated to be effective in March 2021 will require the exchange of initial and/or variation margin between counterparties of forward settling. TBA transactions involving U.S. Government agency and GSE-sponsored mortgage-backed securities.
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. Until the settlement date, a Fund will segregate
liquid assets of a dollar value sufficient at all times to make payment for the forward commitment, when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. Such segregated liquid assets will be marked-to-market daily, and the amount segregated will be
increased if necessary to maintain adequate coverage of the delayed delivery commitments. 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 transactions in other forward-settling mortgage-backed securities are effected
pursuant to a collateral agreement with the seller. A Fund provides to the seller collateral consisting of cash or liquid securities in an amount as specified by the agreement upon initiation of the transaction. A Fund 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 seller 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 of principal and interest if the value of the collateral declines. In these situations, a
Fund will be subject to greater risk that the value of the collateral will decline before it is recovered or, in some circumstances, the Fund may not be able to recover the collateral, and the Fund will experience a loss.
Short Sales.
The Funds may engage in short sales that the Fund owns or has the right to obtain (short sales against the box). Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund, Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and
Invesco Municipal Income Fund will not sell a security short that it does not own if, as a result of such short sale, the aggregate market value of such securities sold short exceeds 10% of the Fund’s total assets.
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, a Fund will be required to deposit cash or liquid securities with the broker. In addition, a Fund may have to pay a premium 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. In addition to maintaining collateral with the broker, a Fund will earmark or segregate an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to the difference,
if any, between the current market value of the securities sold short and any cash or liquid securities deposited as collateral with the broker-dealer in connection with the short sale. The collateral will be marked to market daily. The amounts
deposited with the broker or segregated with the custodian do not have the effect of limiting the amount of money that a Fund may lose on a short sale. Short sale transactions covered in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes
of a Fund’s fundamental investment limitation on senior securities and borrowings.
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. 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 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 related 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). Such borrowings may be utilized (i) for temporary or emergency purposes; (ii) in anticipation of or in response to adverse
market conditions; or, (iii) for cash management purposes. Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund may also borrow money to purchase additional securities when Invesco or the Sub-Adviser deems it advantageous to do so. All borrowings are limited
to an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of a Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that exceed this amount will be reduced within three business days to the extent necessary to
comply with the 33 1/3% limitation even if it is not advantageous to sell securities at that time.
If there are unusually heavy redemptions, a
Fund may have to sell a portion of its investment portfolio at a time when it may not be advantageous to do so. Selling Fund securities under these circumstances may result in a lower net asset value per share or decreased dividend income, or both.
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that, in the event of abnormally heavy redemption requests, a Fund’s borrowing ability would help to mitigate any such effects and could make the forced sale of their portfolio securities less likely.
The ability of Invesco Limited Term
Municipal Income Fund to borrow money to purchase additional securities gives the Fund greater flexibility to purchase securities for investment or tax reasons and not to be dependent on cash flows. To the extent borrowing costs exceed the return on
the additional investments; the return realized by the Fund’s shareholders will be adversely affected. The Fund’s borrowing to purchase additional securities creates an opportunity for a greater total return to the Fund, but, at the same
time, increases exposure to losses. The Fund’s willingness to borrow money for investment purposes, and the amount it borrows depends upon many factors, including investment outlook, market conditions and interest rates. Successful use of
borrowed money to purchase additional investments depends on Invesco’s or the Sub-Adviser’s ability to predict correctly interest rates and market movements; such a strategy may not be successful during any period in which it is
employed.
The Funds may borrow from a
bank, broker-dealer, or another Invesco Fund. Additionally, the Funds are permitted to temporarily carry a negative or overdrawn balance in their account with their custodian bank. To compensate the custodian bank for such overdrafts, the Funds may
either (i) leave funds as a compensating balance in their account so the custodian bank can be compensated by earning interest on such funds; or (ii) compensate the custodian bank by paying it an agreed upon rate. A Fund may not purchase additional
securities when any borrowings from banks or broker-dealers exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets or when any borrowings from an Invesco Fund are outstanding.
The Funds participate in a secured line of
credit (the “Line of Credit”) with certain commercial paper conduits as lenders, Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005, as a secondary lender and administrator, and other banks, each as lenders from time to time. The
Line of Credit enables the Funds to participate with certain other affiliated funds, as borrowers, in a committed, secured borrowing facility that permits borrowings of up to a maximum aggregate amount by the participants, as negotiated from time to
time. Borrowings by the Funds under the Line of Credit can be used to purchase securities for investment or for other purposes. The Funds’ Board determined that each Fund’s participation in the Line of Credit is consistent with the
Fund’s investment objective and policies and is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
Under the Line of Credit, in the event that
the commercial paper conduit lenders are unable or unwilling to make loans, Citibank, N.A. and the other bank lenders, if any, would then be required to make those
loans. Under the Line of Credit, interest is charged to a Fund, based on its
borrowings, at current commercial rates. Additionally, a Fund will pay its pro rata portion of a loan commitment fee for the Line of Credit, and pays additional fees annually to the lenders on its outstanding borrowings for management and
administration of the facility. A Fund can prepay loans and terminate its participation in the Line of Credit at any time upon prior notice to Citibank, N.A. As a borrower under the Line of Credit, a Fund has certain rights and remedies under state
and federal law comparable to those it would have with respect to a loan from a bank.
Lending Portfolio Securities. Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities (principally to broker-dealers) 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 income earned would justify the risks.
A Fund will not have the right to vote
securities while they are on loan, but it can call a loan in anticipation of an important vote. 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

Repurchase Agreements. The 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 acquires ownership of a security
from a broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price (which is higher than the purchase price), thereby determining the yield 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. The Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund cannot invest more than 20% of its
total assets in taxable repurchase agreements offering taxable income.
In any repurchase transaction, collateral
for a repurchase agreement may include cash items, obligations issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. A Fund may engage in repurchase agreements collateralized by securities that are rated investment grade and 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 underlying security to the extent that the proceeds of the sale
including accrued interest are less than the resale price provided in the 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.
The Funds may enter
into repurchase agreements that involve securities that may be subject to a court-ordered or other “stay” in the event of the seller’s bankruptcy or insolvency. A “stay” will prevent a Fund from selling the securities
it holds under a repurchase agreement until permitted by a court or other authority. In these situations a Fund may be subject to greater risk that the value of the securities may decline before they are sold, and that a Fund may experience a
loss.
The securities underlying a
repurchase agreement will be marked-to-market every business day so that the value of such securities is at least equal to the investment value of the repurchase agreement, including any accrued interest thereon. 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.
Restricted and Illiquid Investments. The Fund may not acquire any illiquid investment if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
For purposes of the above 15% limitation, 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.
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 illiquid investments may result in a loss or be costly to the Fund.
If a substantial market develops for a
restricted security or other illiquid investment held by a Fund, it may be treated as a liquid investment, in accordance with procedures and guidelines adopted by the Board on behalf of the Funds.
Rule 144A Securities. Rule 144A securities are securities which, while privately placed, are eligible for purchase and resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. This Rule permits certain qualified institutional buyers, such as the
Funds, to trade in privately placed securities even though such securities are not registered under the 1933 Act. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, a Fund will consider whether securities purchased under Rule 144A are illiquid and thus
subject to the Fund’s restriction on investment in 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 investments in illiquid
investments if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may engage in 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. During the reverse repurchase agreement
period, the Fund continues to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. 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 purchased by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities, 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. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will segregate, and maintain,
liquid assets having a dollar value equal to the repurchase price, if specified, or the value of proceeds received on any sale subject to the repurchase plus accrued interest. This practice of segregating assets is referred to as "cover." Reverse
repurchase agreements “covered” in this manner are not treated as senior securities for purposes of a Fund's fundamental investment limitation on senior securities and borrowings. 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 is used as cover or pledged to the counterparty as collateral. 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. The Fund may engage in mortgage dollar roll (a dollar roll).
A dollar roll is a type of transaction that
involves the sale by a Fund of a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution such as a bank or broker dealer, with an agreement that the Fund will repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) security at an
agreed upon price and date. The mortgage securities that are purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but will generally be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories. During the period
between the sale and repurchase, a Fund will not be entitled to receive interest or principal payments on the securities sold but is compensated for the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. A Fund
typically enters into a dollar roll transaction to enhance the Fund’s return either on an income or total return basis or to manage pre-payment risk.
Dollar roll transactions involve the risk
that the market value of the securities retained by a Fund may decline below the price of the securities that the Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event the buyer of securities under a dollar roll transaction
files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Fund’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Fund’s obligation to
repurchase the securities. At the time a Fund enters into a dollar roll transaction, a sufficient amount of assets held by the Fund will be segregated to meet the forward commitment. Dollar roll transactions covered in this manner are not treated as
senior securities for purposes of a Fund's fundamental investment limitation on senior securities and borrowings.
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. The Fund may acquire securities that are subject to standby commitments from banks or other municipal securities dealers.
Under a standby commitment a bank or dealer
would agree to purchase, at the Fund’s option, specified securities at a specified price. Standby commitments generally increase the cost of the acquisition of the underlying security, thereby reducing the yield. Standby commitments depend
upon the issuer’s ability to fulfill its obligation upon demand. Although no definitive creditworthiness criteria are used for this purpose, Invesco reviews the creditworthiness of the banks and other municipal securities dealers from which
the Funds obtain standby commitments in order to evaluate those risks.
Contracts for Difference. A contract for difference (CFD) is a contract between two parties, buyer and seller, stipulating that the seller will pay to the buyer the difference between the nominal value of the underlying stock, stock basket or
index at the opening of the contract and the stock’s, stock basket’s or index’s value at the close of the contract. The size of the contract and the contract’s expiration date are typically negotiated by the parties to the
CFD transaction. CFDs enable a Fund to take long positions on an underlying stock, stock basket or index and thus potentially capture gains on movements in the share prices of the stock, stock basket or index without the need to own the underlying
stock, stock basket or index. By entering into a CFD transaction, a Fund could incur losses because it would face many of the same types of risks as owning the underlying equity security directly. For example, a Fund might buy a position in a CFD
and the contract value at the close of the transaction may be greater than the contract value at the opening of the transaction. This may be due to, among other factors, an increase in the market value of the underlying equity security. In such a
situation, a Fund would have to pay the difference in value of the contract to the seller of the CFD. CFDs also carry counterparty risk, i.e., the risk that the counterparty to the CFD transaction may be unable or unwilling to make payments or to
otherwise honor its financial obligations under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty were to do so, the value of the contract, and of a Fund’s shares, may be reduced.
Entry into a CFD transaction may, in certain
circumstances, require the payment of an initial margin, and adverse market movements against the underlying stock may require the buyer to make additional margin payments. CFDs may be considered illiquid by the SEC staff and subject to the
limitations on illiquid investments. To the extent that there is an imperfect correlation between the return on a Fund’s obligation to its counterparty under the CFD and the return on related assets in its portfolio, the CFD transaction may
increase such Fund’s financial risk. A Fund will not enter into a CFD transaction that is inconsistent with its investment objective, policies and strategies.
Derivatives
A derivative is a financial instrument
whose value is dependent upon the value of other assets, rates or indices, referred to as “underlying reference assets.” These underlying reference assets may include, among others commodities, stocks, bonds, interest rates, currency
exchange rates or related indices. Derivatives include, among others, swaps, options, futures and forward foreign currency contracts. Some derivatives, such as futures and certain options, are traded on U.S. commodity and securities exchanges, while
other derivatives, such as many types of swap agreements, are privately negotiated and entered into in the OTC market. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act) and implementing rules
require certain types of swaps to be traded on public 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.
Because 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, federal
securities laws, regulations and guidance may require the Fund to earmark
assets, to reduce the risks associated with derivatives, or to otherwise hold instruments that offset the Fund’s current obligations under the derivatives instrument. This process is known as “cover.” A Fund will not enter into any
derivative transaction unless it can comply with SEC guidance regarding cover, and, if SEC guidance so requires, the Fund will earmark cash or liquid assets with a value at least sufficient to cover its current obligations under a derivative
transaction or otherwise “cover” the transaction in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. If a large portion of the Fund’s assets is used for cover, it could affect portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet
redemption requests or other current obligations. The leverage involved in certain derivative transactions may result in the Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the related investment.
For swaps, forwards, options and futures
that are contractually required to "cash-settle," the Funds are permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to these Funds’ respective daily mark-to-market (net) obligations, if any (i.e., the Funds’ respective daily net
liabilities, if any), rather than such contracts’ full notional value. By setting aside assets equal to only its net obligations under cash-settled swaps, forwards, options and futures contracts, the Funds will have the ability to employ
leverage to a greater extent than if the Funds were required to segregate assets equal to the full notional value of such contracts. Instruments that do not cash settle may be treated as cash settled for purposes of setting aside assets when a Fund
has entered into a contractual arrangement with a third party futures commission merchant (FCM) or other counterparty to off-set the Fund’s exposure under the contract and, failing that, to assign its delivery obligation under the contract to
the counterparty. The Funds reserve the right to modify their asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the positions articulated from time to time by the SEC.
Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) Regulation and
Exclusions:
With respect to the Funds,
Invesco has claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the CEA and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and, therefore, is not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as a
CPO. In addition, Invesco is relying upon a related exclusion from the definition of “commodity trading advisor” (CTA) under the CEA and the rules of the CFTC with respect to the Funds.
The terms of the CPO exclusion require the
Funds, among other things, to adhere to certain limits on their investments in “commodity interests.” Commodity interests include commodity futures, commodity options and swaps, which in turn include non-deliverable forwards, as further
described below. Because Invesco and the Funds intend to comply with the terms of the CPO exclusion, the Funds may, in the future, need to adjust their investment strategies, consistent with their investment objectives, to limit their investments in
these types of instruments. The Funds are not intended as vehicles for trading in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. The CFTC has neither reviewed nor approved Invesco’s reliance on these exclusions, or the Funds, their
investment strategies, their prospectuses or this SAI.
Generally, the exclusion from CPO regulation
on which Invesco relies requires the Funds to meet one of the following tests for their commodity interest positions, other than positions entered into for bona fide hedging purposes (as defined in the rules of the CFTC): either (1) the aggregate
initial margin and premiums required to establish the Fund’s positions in commodity interests may not exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the Fund’s portfolio (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any
such positions); or (2) the aggregate net notional value of each Fund’s commodity interest positions, determined at the time the most recent such position was established, may not exceed 100% of the liquidation value of the Fund’s
portfolio (after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such positions). In addition to meeting one of these trading limitations, each Fund may not market itself as a commodity pool or otherwise as a vehicle for trading
in the commodity futures, commodity options or swaps markets. If, in the future, a Fund can no longer satisfy these requirements, Invesco would withdraw its notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of a CPO, and Invesco would be subject to
registration and regulation as a CPO with respect to the Fund, in accordance with the CFTC rules that allow for
substituted compliance with CFTC disclosure and shareholder reporting
requirements based on Invesco’s compliance with comparable SEC requirements. However, as a result of CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund, a Fund may incur additional compliance and other expenses.
General risks associated with
derivatives:
The use by the Funds of
derivatives may involve certain risks, as described below.
Counterparty Risk: The risk that a counterparty under a derivatives agreement will not live up to its obligations, including because of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain agreements may not contemplate delivery of
collateral to support fully a counterparty’s contractual obligation; therefore, the Fund might need to rely 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. The agreement may allow for netting of the counterparty’s obligations with respect to a specific transaction, in which
case a Fund’s obligation or right will be the net amount owed to or by the counterparty. 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 instead of the
counterparty. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of the derivative would also likely decline, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
The Fund will not enter into a transaction
with any single counterparty if the net amount owed or to be received under existing transactions under the agreements with that counterparty would exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets determined on the date the transaction is entered into or as
otherwise permitted by law.
Leverage
Risk: Leverage exists when the Fund can lose more than it originally invests because it purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing an amount equal to the full economic exposure of
the instrument or transaction. The Fund segregates or earmarks assets or otherwise covers transactions that may give rise to leverage. 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. The Fund does not segregate or otherwise cover investments in derivatives with economic leverage.
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.
Risks of Potential Increased Regulation of
Derivatives: The regulation of derivatives is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. In addition, the SEC, CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take
extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency, including, for example, the implementation or reduction of speculative position limits, the implementation of higher margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the
suspension of trading.
It is
not possible to predict fully the effects of current or future regulation. However, it is possible that developments in government regulation of various types of derivative instruments, such as speculative position limits on certain types of
derivatives, or limits or restrictions on the counterparties with which the Fund engages in derivative transactions, may limit or prevent the Fund from using or limit the Fund’s use of these instruments effectively as a part of its investment
strategy, and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Invesco will continue to monitor developments in the area, particularly to the extent regulatory changes affect the Fund’s ability to enter into
desired swap agreements.
New requirements, even if not directly applicable to the Fund, may increase
the cost of the Fund’s investments and cost of doing business.
Regulatory Risk: The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially impact a security or market.
Tax Risks:
For a discussion of the tax considerations relating to derivative transactions, see “Dividends, Distributions and Tax Matters ― Tax Matters ― Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions.”
General risks of hedging strategies using
derivatives:
The use by the Funds of
hedging strategies involves special considerations and risks, as described below.
Successful use of hedging transactions
depends upon Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ ability to predict correctly the direction of changes in the value of the applicable markets and securities, contracts and/or currencies. While Invesco and the Sub-Advisers are experienced in
the use of derivatives for hedging, there can be no assurance that any particular hedging strategy will succeed.
In a hedging transaction, there might be
imperfect correlation, or even no correlation, between the price movements of an instrument used for hedging and the price movements of the investments being hedged. Such a lack of correlation might occur due to factors unrelated to the value of the
investments being hedged, such as changing interest rates, market liquidity, and speculative or other pressures on the markets in which the hedging instrument is traded.
Hedging strategies, if successful, can
reduce risk of loss by wholly or partially offsetting the negative effect of unfavorable price movements in the investments being hedged. However, hedging strategies can also reduce opportunity for gain by offsetting the positive effect of favorable
price movements in the hedged investments. Investors should bear in mind that a Fund is not obligated to actively engage in hedging. For example, a Fund may not have attempted to hedge its exposure to a particular foreign currency at a time when
doing so might have avoided a loss.
Types of derivatives:
Swaps.
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.
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 related regulatory developments imposed comprehensive regulatory requirements on swaps and swap market participants. The regulatory framework includes: (1) registration and regulation of swap
dealers and major swap participants; (2) requiring central clearing and execution of standardized swaps; (3) imposing margin requirements in 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 credits, or narrow-based indices of securities or credits.
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 contract resulting from, among other things, interest on
the notional value of the contract, market value changes in the underlying investment, and/or dividends paid by the issuer of the underlying instrument. 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.
Currently, the Funds do not typically
provide initial margin in connection with uncleared swaps. However, rules 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, it will under applicable swap 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 agreements, 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 exchange-trading. Central clearing is intended to reduce counterparty credit risk and increase liquidity, but central clearing does not eliminate
these risks and may involve additional costs and risks not involved with uncleared swaps. The Dodd-Frank Act and related regulatory developments will ultimately require the clearing and exchange-trading of many swaps. Mandatory exchange-trading and
clearing will occur on a phased-in basis based on the type of market participant and CFTC approval of contracts for central clearing
and public trading facilities making such cleared swaps available to trade.
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 trading 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 central counterparty (via the FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the central counterparty, and are typically calculated as an
amount equal to 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 central counterparty. During the term of the swap agreement, a “variation
margin” amount may also be required to be paid by the Fund or may be received by the Fund in accordance with margin controls set for such accounts. 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 of the FCM with which the Fund has an open position, or the central counterparty in a swap contract. The assets of a Fund may not be fully
protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM or central counterparty 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 central counterparty. 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. Central counterparties 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 central counterparty 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. Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund and Invesco
Oppenheimer Municipal Fund may not enter into interest rate swaps with respect to more than 25% of its total assets.
Commodity Swaps: A commodity swap agreement is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of a commodity-based underlying instrument (such as a specific commodity
or commodity index) in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from another commodity-based underlying instrument. In a total return commodity swap, a Fund receives the price appreciation of a
commodity index, a portion of a commodity index or a single commodity in exchange for paying an agreed-upon fee.
Total Return Swaps: An agreement in which one party makes payments based on a set rate, either fixed or variable, while the other party makes payments based on the return of an underlying asset, which includes both the income it generates
and any capital gains.
Volatility and Variance Swaps: A volatility swap involves an exchange between a Fund and a counterparty of periodic payments based on the measured volatility of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other reference asset
over a specified time frame. Depending on the structure of the swap, either the Fund’s or the counterparty’s payment obligation will typically be based on the realized volatility of the reference asset as measured by changes in its price
or level over a specified time period while the other party’s payment obligation will be based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference asset at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a
different reference asset over a specified time period. The Fund will typically make or lose money on a volatility swap depending on the magnitude of the reference asset’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over a specified
time period, rather than general increases or decreases in the price of the reference asset. Volatility swaps are often used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the
volatility exposure of other investments held by the Fund. Variance swaps are similar to volatility swaps except payments are based on the difference between the implied and measured volatility mathematically squared.
Inflation Swaps: Inflation swap agreements are contracts in which one party agrees to pay the cumulative percentage increase in a price index, such as the Consumer Price Index, over the term of the swap (with some lag on the referenced
inflation index), and the other party pays a compounded fixed rate. Inflation swap agreements may be used to protect the net asset value of a Fund against an unexpected change in the rate of inflation measured by an inflation index. The value of
inflation swap agreements is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation.
Swaptions:
An option on a swap agreement, also called a “swaption,” is an option that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap on a future date in exchange for paying a market-based premium. A receiver swaption gives
the owner the right to receive the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. A payer swaption gives the owner the right to pay the total return of a specified asset, reference rate, or index. Swaptions also include options that
allow an existing swap to be terminated or extended by one of the counterparties.
Swaptions are considered to be swaps for
purposes of CFTC regulation. Although they are currently traded OTC, the CFTC may in the future designate certain options on swaps as subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading.
Options. An
option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right, but not the obligation, to buy from (in the case of a call) or sell to (in the case of a put) the writer of the option at the exercise price
during the term of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), the security, currency or other instrument underlying the option (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of certain options,
such as an index option and other cash-settled options). An option on a CDS or a futures contract (described below) gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a CDS or assume a position in a futures contract. Option
transactions present the possibility of large amounts of exposure (or leverage), which may result in a Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the option.
The value of an option position will
reflect, among other things, the current market value of the underlying investment, the time remaining until expiration, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the underlying investment, the price volatility of the underlying
investment and general market and interest rate conditions.
Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund, Invesco
Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Municipal Income 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 securities.
Although a Fund will enter into OTC options only with dealers that are expected to be capable of entering into closing transactions with it, there is no assurance that the Fund will in fact be able to close out an OTC option position at a favorable
price prior to exercise or expiration. In the event of insolvency of the dealer, a Fund might be unable to close out an OTC option position at any time prior to its expiration.
Types of Options:
Put Options on Securities. A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, to the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option (for American
style options) or on a specified date (for European style options), regardless of the market price or exchange rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the put
option, the writer of a put option is obligated to buy the underlying security, contract or foreign currency for the exercise price.
Call Options on Securities. A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, from the writer, the underlying security, contract or foreign currency at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the
expiration of the option (for American style options) or on a specified date
(for European style options), regardless of the market price or exchange rate of the security, contract or foreign currency, as the case may be, at the time of exercise. If the purchaser exercises the call option, the writer of a call option is
obligated to sell to and deliver the underlying security, contract or foreign currency to the purchaser of the call option for the exercise price.
For all Funds except for Invesco High Yield
Municipal Fund, Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Municipal Income Fund, after the Fund writes a call, not more than 20% of the Fund’s total assets may be subject to
calls.
A call or put option may not be
purchased if the purchase would cause the value of all of a Fund’s put and call options to exceed 5% of its total assets.
A Fund may also write calls on futures
contracts without owning the futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call is written, a Fund must cover the call by segregating in escrow an equivalent dollar value of liquid assets. A Fund will
segregate additional liquid assets if the value of the escrowed assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this escrow requirement, in no circumstances would a Fund’s receipt of an exercise notice as to that future
put the Fund in a “short” futures position.
A Fund may buy only those puts that relate
to securities that it owns, broadly-based municipal bond indices, municipal bond index futures or interest rate futures (whether or not the Fund owns the futures).
Index Options. Index options (or options on securities indices) give the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, cash instead of securities, 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 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. 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 a call index option by holding a diversified portfolio of securities similar to those on which the underlying index is based. However, the Fund cannot, as a practical matter, acquire and hold a portfolio
containing exactly the same securities that underlie 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.
Option Techniques:
Writing Options. A Fund may write options to generate additional income and to seek to hedge its portfolio against market or exchange rate movements. As the writer of an option, the Fund may have no control over when the underlying
reference asset must be sold (in the case of a call option) or purchased (in the case of a put option), if the option was structured as an American style option, because the option purchaser may notify the Fund of exercise at any time prior to the
expiration of the option. In addition, if the option is cash-settled instead of deliverable, the Fund is obligated to pay the option purchaser the difference between the exercise price and the value of the underlying reference asset, instead of
selling or purchasing the underlying reference asset, if the option is exercised. In general, options are rarely exercised prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium.
A Fund would write a put option at an
exercise price that, reduced by the premium received on the option, reflects the price it is willing to pay for the underlying reference asset. In return for the premium received for writing a put option, the Fund assumes the risk that the price of
the underlying reference asset will decline below the exercise price, in which case the put option may be exercised and the Fund may suffer a loss.
In return for the premium received for
writing a call option on a reference asset, the Fund foregoes the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying reference asset above the exercise price so long as the option remains open, but retains the risk of loss should the
price of the reference asset decline.
If an option that a Fund has written
expires, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however, such gain may be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying reference asset, held by the Fund during the option period. If a call option is exercised, a Fund
will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying reference asset, which will be increased or offset by the premium received. The obligation imposed upon the writer of an option is terminated upon the expiration of the option, or such
earlier time at which a Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option (put or call as the case may be) identical to that previously sold. However, once a Fund has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase
transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver (for a call) or purchase (for a put) the underlying reference asset at the exercise price (if deliverable) or pay the difference between the exercise price and the
value of the underlying reference asset (if cash-settled).
Purchasing Options. A Fund may purchase a put option on an underlying reference asset owned by the Fund in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of the underlying reference asset held by the Fund; may purchase put
options on underlying reference assets against which it has written other put options; or may speculate on the value of an underlying reference asset, index or quantitative measure. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would
reduce any profit realized when the underlying reference asset is delivered upon the exercise of the put option. Conversely, if the underlying reference asset does not decline in value, the option may expire worthless and the premium paid for the
protective put would be lost. A put option may also be purchased on an investment the Fund does not own.
A Fund may purchase a call option for the
purpose of acquiring the underlying reference asset for its portfolio, or on underlying reference assets against which it has written other call options. The Fund is not required to own the underlying reference asset in order to purchase a call
option. If the Fund does not own the underlying position, the purchase of a call option would enable a Fund to acquire the underlying reference asset at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. So long as it holds a call option,
rather than the underlying reference asset itself, the Fund is partially protected from any unexpected increase in the market price of the underlying reference asset. If the market price does not exceed the exercise price, the Fund could purchase
the underlying reference asset on the open market and could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid for the option.
Municipal Market Data Rate Locks. A Municipal Market Data Rate Lock (MMD Rate Lock) permits a Fund to lock in a specified municipal interest rate for a portion of its portfolio to preserve a return on a particular investment or a portion of its
portfolio as a duration management technique or to protect against any increase in the price of securities to be purchased at a later date. MMD Rate Locks may be used for hedging purposes. An MMD Rate Lock is an agreement between two parties, a Fund
and an MMD Rate Lock provider, pursuant to which the parties agree to make payments to each other on a notional amount, contingent upon whether the Municipal Market Data AAA General Obligation Scale is above or below a specified level on the
expiration date of the contract.
MMD Rate Locks involve the risk that
municipal yields will move in the direction opposite than the direction anticipated by a Fund. The risk of loss with respect to MMD Rate Locks is limited to the amount of payments a Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the other party to an
MMD Rate Lock defaults, a Fund's risk of loss consists of the amount of payments that the Fund contractually is entitled to receive. If there is a default by the counterparty, a Fund may have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related
to the transaction, but they could be difficult to enforce.
Straddles/Spreads/Collars.
Spread and straddle options transactions. In “spread” transactions, a Fund buys and writes a put or buys and writes a call on the same underlying instrument with the options having different exercise prices, expiration dates, or both. In
“straddles,” a Fund purchases a put option and a call option or writes a put option and a call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and typically the same exercise price. When a Fund engages in spread and straddle
transactions, it seeks to profit from differences in the option premiums paid and received and in the market prices of the related options positions when they are closed out or sold. Because these transactions require the Fund to buy and/or write
more than one option simultaneously, the Fund’s ability to enter into such transactions and to liquidate its positions when necessary or deemed advisable may be more limited than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option. Similarly,
costs incurred by the Fund in connection with these transactions will in many cases be greater than if the Fund were to buy or sell a single option.
Option Collars. A Fund also may use option “collars.” A “collar” position combines a put option purchased by the Fund (the right of the Fund to sell a specific security within a specified period) with a call
option that is written by the Fund (the right of the counterparty to buy the same security) in a single instrument. The Fund’s right to sell the security is typically set at a price that is below the counterparty’s right to buy the
security. Thus, the combined position “collars” the performance of the underlying security, providing protection from depreciation below the price specified in the put option, and allowing for participation in any appreciation up to the
price specified by the call option.
Rights and Warrants. Rights are equity securities representing a preemptive right of stockholders to purchase additional shares of a stock at the time of a new issuance, before the stock is offered to the general public. A stockholder who
purchases rights may be able to retain the same ownership percentage after the new stock offering. A right usually enables the stockholder to purchase common stock at a price below the initial offering price. A Fund that purchases a right takes the
risk that the right might expire worthless because the market value of the common stock falls below the price fixed by the right.
A warrant gives the holder the right to
purchase securities from the issuer at a specific price within a certain time frame and is similar to a call option. The main difference between warrants and call options is that warrants are issued by the company that will issue the underlying
security, whereas options are not issued by the company. Young, unseasoned companies often issue warrants to finance their operations.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may purchase futures contracts.
A futures contract is a standard binding
agreement to buy or sell a specified amount of a specified security, currency, commodity, interest rate or index (or delivery of a cash settlement price, in the case of certain futures such as an index future, Eurodollar Future or volatility future)
for a specified price at a designated date, time and place (collectively, futures contracts). 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.
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 financial instrument. Futures exchanges and trading thereon in the United States are regulated under the CEA and by the CFTC. Foreign futures exchanges or exempt markets and trading thereon are not regulated by the CFTC and are not
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 in order to initiate futures
contracts trading and maintain its open
positions in futures contracts. 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 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 during the term of the futures contract.
Subsequent payments, called “variation
margin,” received from or paid to the FCM through which a Fund enters into the futures contract will be made on a daily basis as the futures 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 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 of the FCM or central
counterparty 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 central
counterparty.
Closing out an open
futures contract is effected by entering into an offsetting futures contract for the same aggregate amount of the identical financial instrument or currency and the same delivery date. There can be no assurance, however, that a Fund will be able to
enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to a particular futures contract at a particular time. If a Fund is not able to enter into an offsetting transaction, it will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures
contract.
In addition, if a Fund were
unable to liquidate a futures contract or an option on a futures contract position due to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it could incur substantial losses. The Fund would continue to be subject to market
risk with respect to the position. In addition, except in the case of purchased options, the Fund would continue to be required to make daily variation margin payments.
Types of Futures Contracts:
Commodity Futures: A commodity futures contract is an exchange-traded contract to buy or sell a particular commodity at a specified price at some time in the future. Commodity futures contracts are highly volatile; therefore, the prices of
a Fund’s shares may be subject to greater volatility to the extent it invests in commodity futures.
Currency Futures: A currency futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded contract to buy or sell a particular currency at a specified price at a future date (commonly three months or more). Currency futures contracts may be highly
volatile and thus result in substantial gains or losses to the Fund.
A Fund may either exchange the currencies
specified at the maturity of a currency futures contract or, prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. A Fund may also enter into currency futures contracts that do not provide for
physical settlement of the two currencies but instead are settled by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount. Closing
transactions with respect to currency futures contracts are usually effected with the counterparty to the original currency futures contract.
Index Futures: An index futures contract is an exchange-traded contract that provides for the delivery, at a designated date, time and place, of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the
index value at the close of trading on the date specified in the contract and the price
agreed upon in the futures contract; no physical delivery of securities
comprising the index is made. Index futures can be based on stock, bond or other indices. Such indices cannot be purchased or sold directly.
Interest Rate Futures: An interest rate futures contract is an exchange-traded contract in which the specified underlying security is either an interest-bearing fixed income security or an inter-bank deposit. Two examples of common interest
rate futures contracts are U.S. Treasury futures and Eurodollar futures contracts. The specified security for U.S. Treasury futures is a U.S. Treasury security. The specified security for Eurodollar futures is the London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), which is a daily reference rate based on the interest rates at which banks offer to lend unsecured funds to other banks in the London wholesale money market.
On July 27, 2017, the head of the United
Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. As a result, any impact of a
transition away from LIBOR on a Fund or the instruments in which a Fund invests cannot yet be determined.
Industry initiatives are underway to
identify alternative reference rates; however, there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative reference rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR or that instruments
using an alternative rate will have the same volume or liquidity. As a result, the transition process might lead to increased volatility and reduced liquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates; a reduction in the
value of some LIBOR-based investments; and/or costs incurred in connection with closing out positions and entering into new agreements. These effects could occur prior to the end of 2021 as the utility of LIBOR as a reference rate could deteriorate
during the transition period.
Dividend
Futures: A dividend futures contract is an exchange-traded contract to purchase or sell an amount equal to the total dividends paid by a selected security, basket of securities or index, over a period of time for a
specified price that is based on the expected dividend payments from the selected security, basket of securities or index.
Security Futures: A security futures contract is an exchange-traded contract to purchase or sell, in the future, a specified quantity of a security (other than a Treasury security), or a narrow-based securities index at a certain
price.
Options on Futures
Contracts. Options on futures contracts are similar to options on securities or currencies except that options on futures contracts give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position
in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put) at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures contract
position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer’s futures contract margin account.
Pursuant to federal securities laws and
regulations, the Fund’s use of options on futures contracts may require the Fund to set aside assets to reduce the risks associated with using options on futures contracts. This process is described in more detail above in the section
“Derivatives.”
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated. Certain Funds
may also enter into forward foreign currency transactions for speculative purposes, including to seek additional income or increased returns for the Fund.
A forward foreign currency contract is an
obligation to buy or sell a particular currency in exchange for another currency, which may be U.S. dollars, at a specified price at 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 are usually 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 settlement of the two
currencies 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).
The Funds will comply with guidelines
established by the SEC with respect to “cover” requirements of forward foreign currency contracts (See Derivatives above). Generally, with respect to forward foreign currency contracts that are not contractually required to
“cash-settle” (i.e., are deliverable), a Fund covers its open positions by setting aside liquid assets equal to the contracts’ full notional value. With respect to forward foreign currency contracts that are contractually required
to “cash-settle” (i.e., a non-deliverable forward (NDF) or the synthetic equivalent thereof), however, the Fund may set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily mark-to-market obligation (i.e., the Fund’s
daily net liabilities, if any), rather than the contract’s full notional value. By setting aside assets equal to its net obligations under forward foreign currency contracts that are cash-settled or treated as being cash-settled, the Funds
will have the ability to employ leverage to a greater extent than if the Funds were required to segregate assets equal to the full notional value of such contracts. Segregated assets cannot be sold or transferred unless equivalent assets are
substituted in their place or it is no longer necessary to segregate them. As a result, there is a possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the Fund’s assets could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet
redemption requests or other current obligations.
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 facilities. For more information on central clearing and trading of cleared swaps, see “Swaps” and “Risks of Potential Increased Regulation 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, interest rate differentials 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 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.
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.
Cybersecurity Risk
The Funds, like all companies, may be
susceptible to operational and information security risks. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Funds or their service providers or the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business
operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, 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. The Funds and their shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
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.
Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk
Natural or environmental disasters, such as
earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting
individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. Given the increasing interdependence among
global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. These disruptions could prevent the Funds
from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Funds’ ability to achieve their investment objectives. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the
Funds.
Fund Policies
Fundamental Restrictions. Except as otherwise noted below, each Fund is subject to the following investment restrictions, which may be changed only by a vote of such Fund’s outstanding shares. Fundamental restrictions may be changed only
by a vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the Fund’s shares present at a meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the Fund’s outstanding
shares. Any investment restriction that involves a maximum or minimum percentage of securities or assets (other than with respect to borrowing) shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over or a deficiency under the
percentage occurs immediately after, and is caused by, an acquisition or
disposition of securities or utilization of assets by the Fund.
(1) The Fund (except for
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund) is a “diversified company” as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund will not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, the Fund would fail to be a diversified
company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as such statute, rules and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the SEC staff (collectively, the 1940 Act
Laws and Interpretations) or except to the extent that the Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order or similar relief (collectively, with the 1940 Act Laws and Interpretations, the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions). In
complying with this restriction, however, the Fund may purchase securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
(2) The Fund may not
borrow money or issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions.
(3) The Fund may not
underwrite the securities of other issuers. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of its portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Fund may be considered to be
an underwriter under the 1933 Act.
(4) The Fund will 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 may not
purchase or sell physical commodities except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and any other governing statute, and by the rules thereunder, and by the SEC or other regulatory agency with authority over the Fund.
(7) The Fund may not
make personal loans or loans of its assets to persons who control or are under common control with the Fund, except to the extent permitted by 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. This restriction does not prevent the Fund from, among
other things, purchasing debt obligations, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its assets to broker-dealers or institutional investors, or investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests.
(8) The Fund may,
notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objectives, policies and
restrictions as the Fund.
(9) The
following applies:
(a) Under normal
circumstances, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) in investments the income from which is
exempt from federal income tax under regular tax rules.
(b) Under normal market
conditions, Invesco High Yield Municipal Fund, Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Municipal Income Fund invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities at the time of investment.
(c) Under normal market
conditions, Invesco Oppenheimer Municipal Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to their issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual income tax.
(d) Under normal market
conditions, each of Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester®
Limited Term California Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund invest at least 80% of its assets in securities the income from which, in the
opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax.
(e) Under normal market
conditions, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® High Yield Municipal Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in securities the income from which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuer of each security, is exempt from regular federal individual
and, as applicable, the Fund’s state income tax.
(f) Each of Invesco
Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund limits its investments in securities subject to the federal Alternative Minimum Tax up to 20% of its net assets.
(g) Under normal market
conditions, the Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in California municipal securities.
(h) Under normal market
conditions, the Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in Pennsylvania municipal securities.
For purposes of the
foregoing, “assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. Derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities described above for a Fund may be counted
toward that Fund’s 80% policy.
Notwithstanding the
above restriction related to physical commodities, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal 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.
The investment
restrictions set forth above provide each of the Funds with the ability to operate under new interpretations of the 1940 Act or pursuant to exemptive relief from the SEC without receiving prior shareholder approval of the change. Even though each of
the Funds has this flexibility, the Board has adopted non-fundamental restrictions for each of the Funds relating to certain of these restrictions which Invesco and, when applicable, the Sub-Advisers must follow in managing the Funds. Any changes to
these non-fundamental restrictions, which are set forth below, require the approval of the Board.
Explanatory Note
For purposes of the Fund’s fundamental
restriction related to industry concentration above, investments in tax-exempt municipal securities where the payment of principal and interest for such securities is derived solely from a specific project associated with an issuer that is not a
governmental entity or a political subdivision of a government are subject to a Fund’s industry concentration policy.
For purposes of the Fund’s fundamental
restriction related to physical commodities above, the Fund is currently permitted to invest in futures, swaps and other instruments on physical commodities to the extent disclosed in the Fund’s Prospectus or this SAI.
Non-Fundamental Restrictions. Non-fundamental restrictions may be changed for any Fund without shareholder approval. The non-fundamental investment restrictions listed below apply to each of the Funds unless otherwise indicated.
(1) In complying with
the fundamental restriction regarding issuer diversification, the Fund will not, with respect to 75% of its total assets, 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) 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.
(4) Notwithstanding the
fundamental restriction with regard to making loans, each 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.
(5) Notwithstanding the
fundamental restriction with regard to investing all assets in an open-end fund, each Fund may not invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with the same fundamental investment objectives,
policies and restrictions as the Fund.
(6) The Fund (except for
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund) may not acquire any securities of registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on Sections 12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.
(7) The following apply:
(a) Under normal market
conditions, Invesco Municipal Income Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment grade municipal securities.
(b) Invesco Oppenheimer
Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its assets in New York municipal securities.
(c) Invesco Oppenheimer
Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in New Jersey municipal securities.
(d) Invesco Oppenheimer
Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in California municipal securities.
For purposes of the
foregoing, “assets” means net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. Derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the securities described above for a Fund may also be
counted towards 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.
If a percentage
restriction on the investment or use of assets set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus or this SAI is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, later changes in percentage resulting from changing asset values will not be considered a
violation. It is the intention of the Fund, unless otherwise indicated, that with respect to the Fund’s policies that are a result of application of law, the Fund will take advantage of the flexibility provided by rules or interpretations of
the SEC currently in existence or promulgated in the future, or changes to such laws.
Portfolio Turnover
Each Fund calculates its portfolio turnover
rate by dividing the value of the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal period by the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned by the Fund during the fiscal period. A 100% portfolio turnover rate would
occur, for example, if all of the portfolio securities (other than short-term securities) were replaced once during the fiscal period. Portfolio turnover rates will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions. The following Fund
experienced significant variation in portfolio turnover during the two most recently completed fiscal periods:

Oppenheimer Municipal Fund

|
The variation in portfolio turnover
during the two most recently completed fiscal periods was in connection with the Fund’s transition from a fund focused on Minnesota municipal securities to a national municipal fund.
In 2019, certain of the Funds changed their
fiscal year end dates from either March 31, July 31 or September 30, in each case to the last day of February. The “Financial Highlights” section in each Fund’s prospectus reflects the change and the portfolio turnover rate for the
shortened period between the old and new fiscal year ends.
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.

portfolio holdings information described above by contacting us at 1-800-959-4246.
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 legitimate business purposes of the applicable Fund and is in the best
interest of the applicable Fund’s shareholders. In making such determination, Invesco will address any perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of such Fund and Invesco or its affiliates as part of granting its
approval.
The Board exercises
continuing oversight of the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings information by (1) overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the Holdings Disclosure Policy and the Invesco Funds’ Code of Ethics by the Chief Compliance Officer (or his
designee) of Invesco and the Invesco Funds and (2) considering reports and recommendations by the Chief Compliance Officer concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 206(4)-7 under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (Advisers Act)) that may arise in connection with the Holdings Disclosure Policy. Pursuant to the Holdings Disclosure Policy, the Board receives reports on the specific types of situations in which Invesco proposes
to provide such selective disclosure and the situations where providing selective disclosure raises perceived conflicts of interest between shareholders of the applicable Fund and Invesco or its affiliates. In any specific situation where Invesco
addresses a perceived conflict, Invesco will report to the Board on the persons to whom such disclosures are to be made and the treatment of such conflict before agreeing to provide selective disclosure.
Invesco discloses non-public full portfolio
holdings information to the following persons in connection with the day-to-day operations and management of the funds advised by Invesco (the Invesco Funds):
•
|
Attorneys and accountants;
|
•
|
Securities lending agents;
|
•
|
Lenders to the Invesco
Funds;
|
•
|
Rating and rankings
agencies;
|
•
|
Persons assisting in the
voting of proxies;
|
•
|
Invesco Funds’
custodians;
|
•
|
The
Invesco Funds’ transfer agent(s) (in the event of a redemption in kind);
|
•
|
Pricing services, market
makers, or other fund accounting software providers (to determine the price of investments held by an Invesco Fund);
|
•
|
Brokers identified by the
Invesco Funds’ portfolio management team who provide execution and research services to the team; and
|
•
|
Analysts
hired to perform research and analysis for the Invesco Funds’ portfolio management team.
|
In many cases, Invesco will disclose current
portfolio holdings information on a daily basis to these persons. In these situations, Invesco has entered into non-disclosure agreements which provide that the recipient of the portfolio holdings information will maintain the confidentiality of
such portfolio holdings information and will not trade on such information (Non-disclosure Agreements). Please refer to Appendix B for a list of examples of persons to whom Invesco provides non-public portfolio holdings information on an ongoing
basis.
Invesco will also disclose
non-public portfolio holdings information if such disclosure is required by applicable laws, rules or regulations, or by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over Invesco and its affiliates or the Invesco Funds, and where there is no other way
to transact the Funds’ business without disclosure of such portfolio holdings information.
The Holdings Disclosure Policy provides that
the Funds, Invesco or any other party in connection with the disclosure of portfolio holdings information will not request, receive or accept any compensation (including compensation in the form of the maintenance of assets in any Fund or other
mutual fund or account managed by Invesco or one of its affiliates) for the selective disclosure of portfolio holdings information.
Disclosure of certain portfolio holdings
information without non-disclosure agreement. Invesco and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds, the Sub-Advisers and each of their employees may receive or have access to portfolio
holdings information as part of the day-to-day operations of the Funds.
From time to time, employees of Invesco and
its affiliates may express their views orally or in writing on one or more of the Funds’ portfolio investments or may state that a Fund has recently purchased or sold, or continues to own, one or more investments. The investments subject to
these views and statements may be ones that were purchased or sold since the date on which portfolio holdings information was made available on the Fund’s website and therefore may not be reflected on the portfolio holdings disclosed on the
website. Such views and statements may be made to various persons, including members of the press, shareholders in the Fund, persons considering investing in the applicable Fund or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such
as fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan and their advisers. The nature and content of the views and statements provided to each of these persons may differ.
Disclosure of portfolio holdings information
to traders. Additionally, employees of Invesco and its affiliates may disclose one or more of the investments held by a Fund when purchasing and selling investments through broker-dealers, futures
commissions merchants, clearing agencies and other counterparties requesting bids on investments, obtaining price quotations on investments, or in connection with litigation involving the Funds’ portfolio investments. Invesco does not enter
into formal Non-Disclosure Agreements in connection with these situations; however, the Funds would not continue to conduct business with a person who Invesco believed was misusing the disclosed information.
Disclosure of portfolio holdings of other
Invesco-managed products. Invesco and its affiliates manage products sponsored by companies other than Invesco, including investment companies, offshore funds, and separate accounts. In many cases,
these other products are managed in a similar fashion to certain Invesco Funds (as defined herein) and thus have similar portfolio holdings. The sponsors of these other products managed by Invesco and its affiliates may disclose the portfolio
holdings of their products at different times than Invesco discloses portfolio holdings for the Invesco Funds.

Management
Information
The Trustees have the
authority to take all actions that they consider necessary or appropriate in connection with oversight of the Trust, including, among other things, approving the investment objectives, investment policies and fundamental investment restrictions for
the Funds. The Trust has entered into agreements with various service providers, including the Funds’ investment advisers, administrator, transfer agent, distributor and custodians, to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Funds. The
Trustees are responsible for selecting these service providers, approving the terms of their contracts with the Funds, and exercising general oversight of these arrangements on an ongoing basis.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust
are affiliated with Invesco and Invesco Ltd., the parent corporation of Invesco. All of the Trust’s executive officers hold similar offices with some or all of the other Trusts.
Leadership Structure and the Board of
Trustees. The Board is currently composed of seventeen Trustees, including sixteen 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 five standing committees – the Audit Committee, the Compliance Committee, the Governance Committee, the Investments Committee and the Valuation, Distribution and Proxy Oversight
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 Chairman. The Chairman’s primary role is to preside at meetings of the Board and act as a liaison with the Adviser and other service providers, officers, including the Senior Officer of the Trust, attorneys, and
other Trustees between meetings.
The Chairman 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 Chairman 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 Chairman, allows for effective communication between the Trustees and management, among the Trustees and among the Independent Trustees. The existing Board structure, including its Committee
structure, provides the Independent Trustees with effective control over Board governance while also allowing them to receive and benefit from insight from the interested Trustee who is an active officer of the Funds’ investment adviser. The
Board’s leadership structure promotes dialogue and debate, which the Board believes allows for the proper consideration of matters deemed important to the Funds and their shareholders and results in effective decision-making.
Risk Oversight. The Board considers risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities throughout the year at its regular meetings and at regular meetings of its Committees. Invesco prepares regular reports that
address certain investment, valuation and compliance matters, and the Board as a whole or the Committees also receive special written reports or presentations on a variety of risk issues at the request of the Board, a Committee or the Senior
Officer.
The Board also
considers liquidity risk management issues as part of its general oversight responsibilities and oversees the Trust's liquidity risk through, among other things, receiving periodic reporting and presentations by Invesco personnel that address
liquidity matters. As required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, has approved the Trust's Liquidity Risk Management ("LRM") Program, which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the
Trust's liquidity risk, and has appointed the LRM Program Administrator that is responsible for administering the LRM Program. The Board also reviews, no less frequently than annually, a written report prepared by the LRM Program Administrator that
addresses, among other items, the operation of the program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.
The Audit Committee is apprised by, and
discusses with, management its policies on risk assessment and risk management. Such discussion includes a discussion of the guidelines governing the process by which risks are assessed and managed and an identification of each Fund’s major
financial risk exposures. In addition, the Audit Committee meets regularly with representatives of Invesco Ltd.’s internal audit group to review reports on their examinations of functions and processes within Invesco that affect the
Funds.
The Compliance Committee
receives regular compliance reports prepared by Invesco’s compliance group and meets regularly with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) to discuss compliance issues, including compliance risks. The Compliance Committee has
recommended and the Board has adopted compliance policies and procedures for the Funds and for the Funds’ service providers. The compliance policies and procedures are designed to detect, prevent and correct violations of the federal
securities laws.
The Governance
Committee monitors the composition of the Board and each of its Committees and monitors the qualifications of the Trustees to ensure adherence to certain governance undertakings applicable to the Funds. In addition, the Governance Committee oversees
an annual self-assessment of the Board and addresses governance risks, including insurance and fidelity bond matters, for the Trust.
The Investments Committee and its
sub-committees receive regular written reports describing and analyzing the investment performance of the Invesco Funds. In addition, Invesco’s Chief Investment Officers and the portfolio managers of the Funds meet regularly with the
Investments Committee or its sub-committees to discuss portfolio performance, including investment risk, such as the impact on the Funds of investments in particular types of securities or instruments, such as derivatives. To the extent that a Fund
changes a particular investment strategy that could have a material impact on the Fund’s risk profile, the Board generally is consulted in advance with respect to such change.
The Valuation, Distribution and Proxy
Oversight Committee monitors fair valuation of portfolio securities based on management reports that include explanations of the reasons for the fair valuation and the methodology used to arrive at the fair value.

Retirement
Policy

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
Three retired Trustees, as well as Messrs.
Crockett, LaCava, Motley, Troccoli, Vandivort, Vaughn and Wilson, Mss. Hostetler and Stern and Drs. Jones and Mathai-Davis (for purposes of this paragraph only, the Deferring Trustees) have each executed a Deferred Compensation Agreement
(collectively, the Compensation Agreements). Pursuant to the Compensation Agreements, the Deferring Trustees have the option to elect to defer receipt of up to 100% of their compensation payable by the Funds, and such amounts are placed into a
deferral account and deemed to be invested in one or more Invesco Funds selected by the Deferring Trustees.
Distributions from these deferral accounts
will be paid in cash, generally in equal quarterly installments over a period of up to ten (10) years (depending on the Compensation Agreement) beginning on the date selected under the Compensation Agreement. If a Deferring Trustee dies prior to the
distribution of amounts in his or her deferral account, the balance of the deferral account will be distributed to his or her designated beneficiary. The Compensation Agreements are not funded and, with respect to the payments of amounts held in the
deferral accounts, the Deferring Trustees have the status of unsecured creditors of the Funds and of each other Invesco Fund from which they are deferring compensation.
Purchase of Class A
Shares of the Funds at Net Asset Value
The Trustees and certain other affiliated
persons of the Trust may purchase Class A shares of the Invesco Funds without paying an initial sales charge. Invesco Distributors permits such purchases because there is a reduced sales effort involved in sales to such purchasers, thereby resulting
in relatively low expenses of distribution. For a complete description of the persons who will not pay an initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of the Invesco Funds, see Appendix L — “Purchase, Redemption 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 and Pricing of Shares — Purchase and Redemption of Shares
— Purchases of Class Y Shares.”
Code of
Ethics
Invesco, the Trust, Invesco
Distributors and certain of the Sub-Advisers each have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all Invesco Fund trustees and officers, and employees of Invesco, the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, and governs, among other things, the personal
trading activities of all such persons. Certain Sub-Advisers have adopted their own Code of Ethics. Each Code of Ethics is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by portfolio managers and certain other employees that could compete
with or take advantage of the Fund’s portfolio transactions. Unless specifically noted, to the extent a Sub-Adviser has adopted its own Code of Ethics, each Sub-Advisers’ 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.

be submitted to the Board for approval. The Board will be supplied with a summary quarterly report of each Fund’s proxy voting record. Information regarding how the Funds voted proxies related to their portfolio securities during the twelve
months ended June 30, 2019 is available without charge at our website, http://www.invesco.com/us. This information will also be available at the SEC website, http://www.sec.gov.
CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF
SECURITIES
Information about the
ownership of each class of each Fund’s shares by beneficial or record owners of such Fund and ownership of Fund shares by trustees and officers as a group is found in Appendix F. A shareholder who owns beneficially 25% or more of the
outstanding shares of a Fund is presumed to “control” that Fund.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES
Investment Adviser
Invesco serves as the Funds’
investment adviser. The Adviser manages the investment operations of the Funds 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 Funds’
day-to-day management. The Adviser, as successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment adviser since 1976. Invesco Advisers, Inc. is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd. Invesco Ltd. and its subsidiaries
are an independent global investment management group. Certain of the directors and officers of Invesco are also executive officers of the Trust and their affiliations are shown under “Management Information” herein.
As investment adviser, Invesco supervises
all aspects of the Funds’ operations and provides investment advisory services to the Funds. Invesco obtains and evaluates economic, statistical and financial information to formulate and implement investment programs for the Funds. The Master
Investment Advisory Agreement (Advisory Agreement) provides that, in fulfilling its responsibilities, Invesco may engage the services of other investment managers with respect to one or more of the Funds. The investment advisory services of Invesco
are not exclusive and Invesco is free to render investment advisory services to others, including other investment companies.
Pursuant to an administrative services
agreement with the Funds, Invesco is also responsible for furnishing to the Funds, at Invesco’s expense, the services of persons believed to be competent to perform all supervisory and administrative services required by the Funds, which in
the judgment 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.
The Advisory Agreement provides that each
Fund will pay or cause to be paid all expenses of such Fund not assumed by Invesco, including, without limitation: brokerage commissions, taxes, legal, auditing or governmental fees, custodian, transfer and shareholder service agent costs, expenses
of issue, sale, redemption, and repurchase of shares, expenses of registering and qualifying shares for sale, expenses relating to trustee and shareholder meetings, the cost of preparing and distributing reports and notices to shareholders, the fees
and other expenses incurred by the Trust on behalf of each Fund in connection with membership in investment company organizations, and the cost of printing copies of prospectuses and statements of additional information distributed to the
Funds’ shareholders.
Invesco, at
its own expense, furnishes to the Trust office space and facilities. Invesco furnishes to the Trust all personnel for managing the affairs of the Trust and each of its series of shares.
Pursuant to its Advisory Agreement with the
Trust, Invesco receives a monthly fee from each Fund calculated at the annual rates indicated in the second column below, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund during the year. Each Fund allocates advisory fees to a class based on the
relative net assets of each class.

*The advisory fee
payable by each Fund shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Fund under the administrative services agreement with Invesco.
Invesco may from time to time waive or
reduce its fee. Voluntary fee waivers or reductions may be rescinded at any time without further notice to investors. During periods of voluntary fee waivers or reductions, Invesco will retain its ability to be reimbursed for such fee prior to the
end of the respective fiscal year in which the voluntary fee waiver or reduction is made..
Invesco has contractually agreed through at
least June 30, 2022, 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.”
Invesco also has contractually agreed to
waive advisory fees or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expenses on short sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items, including
litigation expenses; and (v) expenses that each Fund has incurred but did not actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement, if applicable). The expense limitations for the following Funds’ shares are:

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.
If applicable, such contractual fee waivers
or reductions are set forth in the fee table to each Fund’s Prospectus. Unless Invesco continues the fee waiver agreements, they will terminate as indicated above. During their terms, the fee waiver agreements cannot be terminated or amended
to increase the expense limits or reduce the advisory fee waiver without approval of the Board.
The management fees are found in Appendix
G.
Investment Sub-Advisers
Invesco has entered into a Sub-Advisory
Agreement with certain affiliates to serve as sub-advisers to each Fund (each, a Sub-Adviser), pursuant to which these affiliated sub-advisers may be appointed by Invesco from time to time to provide discretionary investment management services,
investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Funds. These affiliated sub-advisers, each of 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 has also entered into a Sub-Advisory
Agreement with another affiliate, Invesco Capital Management LLC (Invesco Capital), also a registered investment adviser under the Advisers Act, to provide discretionary investment management services, investment advice, and/or order execution
services to the Funds.
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 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 Invesco Oppenheimer
Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester®
High Yield Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal
Fund . Under the sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser pays the Sub-Adviser a percentage of the net investment advisory fee (after all applicable waivers) that it receives from the Fund as compensation for the provision of investment advisory
services. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement is paid by the Adviser, not by the Fund.
Invesco and each Sub-Adviser are indirect
wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd.
Service
Agreements
Administrative Services
Agreement. Invesco and the Trust have entered into a Master Administrative Services Agreement (Administrative Services Agreement) pursuant to which Invesco may perform or arrange for the provision of certain
accounting and other administrative services to 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, by votes cast in person at a meeting called for such purpose. 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 certain Funds shall be reduced by any amounts paid by the Funds under the Administrative Services Agreement. Currently, Invesco is
reimbursed for the services of the Trust’s principal financial officer and her staff and any expenses related to fund accounting services.
Administrative services fees paid to Invesco
by each Fund for last three fiscal years ended February 28, 2018, February 28, 2019 and February 29, 2020 are found in Appendix I.
Other Service Providers
Transfer Agent. Invesco Investment Services, Inc., (Invesco Investment Services), 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77046-1173, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco, Ltd. is the Trust’s transfer agent.
The 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 plus certain out of pocket expenses. 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 a fee per trade executed, to be billed monthly, plus
certain out-of-pocket expenses. 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. 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, 5140 Yonge Street, Suite 800, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M2N6X7, 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.
Custodian
State Street Bank and Trust Company (the
Custodian), 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, is custodian of all securities and cash of the Funds.
The Custodian and sub-custodian are
authorized to establish separate accounts in foreign countries and to cause foreign securities owned by the Funds to be held outside the United States in branches of U.S. banks and, to the extent permitted by applicable regulations, in certain
foreign banks and securities depositories. Invesco is responsible for selecting eligible foreign securities depositories and for assessing the risks associated with investing in foreign countries, including the risk of using eligible foreign
securities’ depositories in a country. The Custodian is responsible for monitoring eligible foreign securities depositories.
Under its contract with the Trust, the
Custodian maintains the portfolio securities of the Funds, administers the purchases and sales of portfolio securities, collects interest and dividends and other distributions made on the securities held in the portfolios of the Funds and performs
other ministerial duties. These services do not include any supervisory function over management 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 appointed, 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 funds 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
The Advisory Agreement describes the
administrative services to be rendered by Invesco 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: (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 (the agent) in determining which specific securities are available for loan; (c)
monitoring the 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 agent inquiries; and (f) performing such other duties as may be necessary.
The Advisory Agreement authorizes Invesco to
receive a separate fee equal to 25% of the net monthly interest or fee income retained or paid to the Fund for the administrative services that Invesco renders in connection with securities lending. Invesco has contractually agreed, however, not to
charge this fee and to obtain Board approval prior to charging such fee in the future.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES
The Sub-Advisers have adopted compliance
procedures that cover, among other items, brokerage allocation and other trading practices. If all or a portion of a Fund’s assets are managed by one or more Sub-Advisers, the decision to buy and sell securities and broker selection will be
made by the Sub-Adviser for the assets it manages. Unless specifically noted, the Sub-Advisers brokerage allocation procedures do not materially differ from Invesco Advisers, Inc.’s procedures.
As discussed below, Invesco and the
Sub-Advisers, unless prohibited by applicable law, may cause a Fund to pay a broker-dealer a commission for effecting a transaction that exceeds the amount another broker-dealer would have charged for effecting the same transaction in recognition of
the value of brokerage and research services provided by that broker-dealer. Effective January 3, 2018, under the European Union’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II), European Union investment advisers, including Invesco
Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to certain Invesco Funds as described in such Funds’ prospectuses, must pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their own resources, rather than through client
commissions.
Brokerage Transactions
Placing trades generally involves acting on
portfolio manager instructions to buy or sell a specified amount of portfolio securities, including selecting one or more broker-dealers, including affiliated and third-party broker-dealers, to execute the trades, and negotiating commissions and
spreads. Various Invesco Ltd.
subsidiaries have created a global equity trading desk. The global equity
trading desk has assigned local traders in six primary trading centers to place equity securities trades in their regions. Invesco Advisers’ Americas desk, located in Atlanta and Toronto, generally places trades of equity securities trading in
North America, Canada and Latin America; the Hong Kong desk of Invesco Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Desk) generally places trades of equity securities in the Asia-Pacific markets, except Japan and China; the Japan trading desk of Invesco Japan generally
places trades of equity securities in the Japanese markets; the EMEA trading desk of Invesco Asset Management Limited (the EMEA Desk) generally places trades of equity securities in European, Middle Eastern and African countries; the Australian
desk, located in Sydney and Melbourne, for the execution of orders of equity securities trading in the Australian and New Zealand markets and the Taipei desk, located in Taipei, for the execution of orders of securities trading in the Chinese
market. Invesco, Invesco Canada, Invesco Japan, Invesco Deutschland, Invesco Hong Kong, Invesco Capital and Invesco Asset Management use the global equity trading desk to place equity trades. Other Sub-Advisers may use the global equity trading desk
in the future. The trading procedures for the global trading desks are similar in all material respects.
References in the language below to actions
by Invesco or a Sub-Adviser making determinations or taking actions related to equity trading include these entities’ delegation of these determinations/actions to the Americas Desk, the Hong Kong Desk, and the EMEA Desk. Even when trading is
delegated by Invesco or the Sub-Advisers to the various arms of the global equity trading desk, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers that delegate trading is responsible for oversight of this trading activity.
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers make decisions
to buy and sell securities for each Fund, select broker-dealers (each, a Broker), effect the Funds’ investment portfolio transactions, allocate brokerage fees in such transactions and, where applicable, negotiate commissions and spreads on
transactions. Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration in effecting a security transaction is to obtain best execution, which Invesco defines as prompt and efficient execution of the transaction at the best obtainable price
with payment of commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs which are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage services provided by the Broker. While Invesco or the Sub-Advisers seek reasonably competitive commission rates, the Funds may not pay
the lowest commission or spread available. See “Broker Selection” below.
Some of the securities in which the Funds
invest are traded in OTC markets. Portfolio transactions in such markets may be effected on a principal basis at net prices without commissions, but which include compensation to the Broker in the form of a mark-up or mark-down, or on an agency
basis, which involves the payment of negotiated brokerage commissions to the Broker, including electronic communication networks. Purchases of underwritten issues, which include initial public offerings and secondary offerings, include a commission
or concession paid by the issuer (not the Funds) to the underwriter. Purchases of money market instruments may be made directly from issuers without the payment of commissions.
Historically, Invesco and the Sub-Advisers
did not negotiate commission rates on stock markets outside the United States. In recent years many overseas stock markets have adopted a system of negotiated rates; however, a number of markets maintain an established schedule of minimum commission
rates.
In some cases, Invesco may
decide to place trades on a “blind principal bid” basis, which involves combining all trades for one or more portfolios into a single basket, and generating a description of the characteristics of the basket for provision to potential
executing brokers. Based on the trade characteristics information provided by Invesco, these brokers submit bids for executing all of the required trades at a designated time for a specific commission rate. Invesco generally selects the broker with
the lowest bid to execute these trades.
Commissions
The Funds may engage in certain principal
and agency transactions with banks and their affiliates that own 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of an Invesco Fund, provided the conditions of an exemptive order received by the Invesco Funds from the SEC are met. In addition, a
Fund may purchase or sell a security from or to certain other Invesco Funds or other accounts (and may invest in the Affiliated
Money Market Funds) provided the Funds follow procedures adopted by the
Boards of the various Invesco Funds, including the Trust. These inter-fund transactions generally do not generate brokerage commissions but may result in custodial fees or taxes or other related expenses.
Brokerage commissions paid by each of the
Funds during the last three fiscal years ended February 28, 2018, February 28, 2019 and February 29, 2020 are found in Appendix J.
Broker Selection
Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’
primary consideration in selecting Brokers to execute portfolio transactions for a Fund is to obtain best execution. In selecting a Broker to execute a portfolio transaction in equity securities for a Fund, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers consider the
full range and quality of a Broker’s services, including the value of research and/or brokerage services provided (if permitted by applicable law or regulation), execution capability, commission rate, and willingness to commit capital,
anonymity and responsiveness. Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ primary consideration when selecting a Broker to execute a portfolio transaction in fixed income securities for a Fund is the Broker’s ability to deliver or sell the
relevant fixed income securities; however, Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will, if permitted by applicable law or regulation, also consider the various factors listed above. In each case, the determinative factor is not the lowest commission or spread
available but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution for the Fund. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will not select Brokers based upon their promotion or sale of Fund shares.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, such as
MiFID II (described herein), in choosing Brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds, Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may select Brokers that provide brokerage and/or research services (Soft Dollar Products) to the Funds and/or the other
accounts over which Invesco and its affiliates have investment discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, European Union investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, which may act as sub-adviser to certain Invesco
Funds as described in such Funds’ prospectuses, must pay for research from broker-dealers directly out of their own resources, rather than through client commissions. Therefore, the use of the defined term “Sub-Advisers” throughout
this section shall not be deemed to apply to those Sub-Advisers subject to the MiFID II prohibitions. Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act, provides that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers, under certain circumstances, lawfully may cause an account to pay a
higher commission than the lowest available. Under Section 28(e)(1), Invesco or the Sub-Advisers must make a good faith determination that the commissions paid are “reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided ... viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or [Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’] overall responsibilities with respect to the accounts as to which [it] exercises investment discretion.” The services provided
by the Broker also must lawfully and appropriately assist Invesco or the Sub-Advisers in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities. Accordingly, a Fund may pay a Broker commissions higher than those available from another
Broker in recognition of the Broker’s provision of Soft Dollar Products to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers.
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers face a
potential conflict of interest when they use client trades to obtain Soft Dollar Products. This conflict exists because Invesco and the Sub-Advisers are able to use the Soft Dollar Products to manage client accounts without paying cash for the Soft
Dollar Products, which reduces Invesco’s or a Sub-Adviser’s expenses to the extent that Invesco or such Sub-Adviser would have purchased such products had they not been provided by Brokers. Section 28(e) permits Invesco or the
Sub-Advisers to use Soft Dollar Products for the benefit of any account it manages. Certain Invesco-managed accounts (or accounts managed by the Sub-Advisers) may generate soft dollars used to purchase Soft Dollar Products that ultimately benefit
other Invesco-managed accounts (or Sub-Adviser-managed accounts), effectively cross subsidizing the other Invesco-managed accounts (or the other Sub-Adviser-managed accounts) that benefit directly from the product. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may
not use all of the Soft Dollar Products provided by Brokers through which a Fund effects securities transactions in connection with managing the Fund whose trades generated the soft dollars used to purchase such products.
Invesco presently engages in the following
instances of cross-subsidization:
Fixed income funds normally do not generate
soft dollar commissions to pay for Soft Dollar Products. Therefore, soft dollar commissions used to pay for Soft Dollar Products which are used to manage certain fixed income Invesco Funds are generated entirely by equity Invesco Funds and other
equity client accounts managed by Invesco. In other words, certain fixed income Invesco Funds are cross-subsidized by the equity Invesco Funds in that the fixed income Invesco Funds receive the benefit of Soft Dollar Products services for which they
do not pay. Similarly, other accounts managed by Invesco or certain of its affiliates may benefit from Soft Dollar Products services for which they do not pay.
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers attempt to
reduce or eliminate the potential conflicts of interest concerning the use of Soft Dollar Products by directing client trades for Soft Dollar Products only if Invesco or the Sub-Adviser concludes that the Broker supplying the product is capable of
providing best execution.
Certain Soft
Dollar Products may be available directly from a vendor on a hard dollar basis; other Soft Dollar Products are available only through Brokers in exchange for soft dollars. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser use soft dollars to purchase two types of Soft
Dollar Products:
•
|
proprietary research created
by the Broker executing the trade, and
|
•
|
other
products created by third parties that are supplied to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers through the Broker executing the trade.
|
Proprietary research consists primarily of
traditional research reports, recommendations and similar materials produced by the in-house research staffs of broker-dealer firms. This research includes evaluations and recommendations of specific companies or industry groups, as well as analyses
of general economic and market conditions and trends, market data, contacts and other related information and assistance. Invesco periodically rates the quality of proprietary research produced by various Brokers. Based on the evaluation of the
quality of information that Invesco receives from each Broker, Invesco develops an estimate of each Broker’s share of Invesco clients’ commission dollars and attempts to direct trades to these firms to meet these estimates.
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers also use soft
dollars to acquire products from third parties that are supplied to Invesco or the Sub-Advisers through Brokers executing the trades or other Brokers who “step in” to a transaction and receive a portion of the brokerage commission for
the trade. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may from time to time instruct the executing Broker to allocate or “step out” a portion of a transaction to another Broker. The Broker to which Invesco or the Sub-Advisers have “stepped
out” would then settle and complete the designated portion of the transaction, and the executing Broker would settle and complete the remaining portion of the transaction that has not been “stepped out.” Each Broker may receive a
commission or brokerage fee with respect to that portion of the transaction that it settles and completes.
Soft Dollar Products received from Brokers
supplement Invesco’s and the Sub-Advisers’ own research (and the research of certain of its affiliates), and may include the following types of products and services:
•
|
Database Services –
comprehensive databases containing current and/or historical information on companies and industries and indices. Examples include historical securities prices, earnings estimates and financial data. These services may include software tools that
allow the user to search the database or to prepare value-added analyses related to the investment process (such as forecasts and models used in the portfolio management process).
|
•
|
Quotation/Trading/News
Systems – products that provide real time market data information, such as pricing of individual securities and information on current trading, as well as a variety of news services.
|
•
|
Economic
Data/Forecasting Tools – various macro economic forecasting tools, such as economic data or currency and political forecasts for various countries or regions.
|
•
|
Quantitative/Technical
Analysis – software tools that assist in quantitative and technical analysis of investment data.
|
•
|
Fundamental/Industry
Analysis – industry specific fundamental investment research.
|
•
|
Fixed Income Security
Analysis – data and analytical tools that pertain specifically to fixed income securities. These tools assist in creating financial models, such as cash flow projections and interest rate sensitivity analyses, which are relevant to fixed
income securities.
|
•
|
Other
Specialized Tools – other specialized products, such as consulting analyses, access to industry experts, and distinct investment expertise such as forensic accounting or custom built investment-analysis software.
|
If Invesco or the Sub-Advisers determine
that any service or product has a mixed use (i.e., it also serves functions that do not assist the investment decision-making or trading process), Invesco or the Sub-Advisers will allocate the costs of such service or product accordingly in its
reasonable discretion. Invesco or the Sub-Advisers will allocate brokerage commissions to Brokers only for the portion of the service or product that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers determine assists it in the investment decision-making or trading
process and will pay for the remaining value of the product or service in cash.
Outside research assistance is useful to
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers because the Brokers used by Invesco or the Sub-Advisers tend to provide more in-depth analysis of a broader universe of securities and other matters than Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ staff follows. In
addition, such services provide Invesco or the Sub-Advisers with a diverse perspective on financial markets. Some Brokers may indicate that the provision of research services is dependent upon the generation of certain specified levels of
commissions and underwriting concessions by Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ clients, including the Funds. However, the Funds are not under any obligation to deal with any Broker in the execution of transactions in portfolio securities. In
some cases, Soft Dollar Products are available only from the Broker providing them. In other cases, Soft Dollar Products may be obtainable from alternative sources in return for cash payments. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers believe that because Broker
research supplements rather than replaces Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ research, the receipt of such research tends to improve the quality of Invesco’s or the Sub-Advisers’ investment advice. The advisory fee paid by the
Funds is not reduced because Invesco or the Sub-Advisers receive such services. To the extent the Funds’ portfolio transactions are used to obtain Soft Dollar Products, the brokerage commissions obtained by the Funds might exceed those that
might otherwise have been paid.
Invesco or the Sub-Advisers may determine
target levels of brokerage business with various Brokers on behalf of its clients (including the Funds) over a certain time period. Invesco determines target levels based upon the following factors, among others: (1) the execution services provided
by the Broker; and (2) the research services provided by the Broker. Portfolio transactions may be effected through Brokers that recommend the Funds to their clients, or that act as agent in the purchase of a Fund’s shares for their clients,
provided that Invesco or the Sub-Advisers believe such Brokers provide best execution and such transactions are executed in compliance with Invesco’s policy against using directed brokerage to compensate Brokers for promoting or selling
Invesco Fund shares. Invesco and the Sub-Advisers will not enter into a binding commitment with Brokers to place trades with such Brokers involving brokerage commissions in precise amounts.
As noted above, under MiFID II, European
Union investment advisers, including Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management, are not permitted to use Soft Dollar Products to pay for research from brokers but rather must pay for research out of their own profit and loss or have research
costs paid by clients through research payment accounts that are funded by a specific client research charge or the research component of trade orders. Such payments for research must be unbundled from the payments for execution. As a result,
Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Asset Management are restricted from using Soft Dollar Products in managing the Invesco Funds that they sub-advise.
Directed Brokerage (Research Services)
Directed brokerage (research services) is
found in Appendix K.
Affiliated Transactions
The Adviser or Sub-Adviser may place trades
with Invesco Capital Markets, Inc. (ICMI), a broker-dealer with whom it is affiliated, provided the Adviser or Sub-Adviser determines that ICMI’s trade execution abilities and costs are at least comparable to those of non-affiliated brokerage
firms with which the Adviser or Sub-Adviser could otherwise place similar trades. ICMI receives brokerage commissions in connection with effecting trades for the Funds and, therefore, use of ICMI presents a conflict of interest for the Adviser or
Sub-Adviser. Trades placed through ICMI, including the brokerage commissions paid to ICMI, are subject to procedures adopted by the Board.
The Funds did not pay brokerage commissions
on affiliated transactions for the last three fiscal years.
Regular Brokers
Information concerning the Funds’
acquisition of securities of their brokers during the last fiscal year February 29 is found in Appendix K.
Allocation of Portfolio Transactions
Invesco and the Sub-Advisers manage numerous
Invesco Funds and other accounts. Some of these accounts may have investment objectives similar to the Funds. Occasionally, identical securities will be appropriate for investment by multiple Invesco Funds or other accounts. However, the position of
each account in the same security and the length of time that each account may hold its investment in the same security may vary. Invesco and the Sub-Adviser will also determine the timing and amount of purchases for an account based on its cash
position. If the purchase or sale of securities is consistent with the investment policies of the Fund(s) and one or more other accounts, and is considered at or about the same time, Invesco or the Sub-Adviser will allocate transactions in such
securities among the Fund(s) and these accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size or in such other manner believed by Invesco to be fair and equitable. Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may combine transactions in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations to obtain the most favorable execution. Simultaneous transactions could, however, adversely affect a Fund’s ability to obtain or dispose of the full amount of a security which it seeks to purchase or sell.
Allocation of Initial Public Offering (IPO) Transactions
Certain of the Invesco Funds or other
accounts managed by Invesco may become interested in participating in IPOs. Purchases of IPOs by one Invesco Fund or other accounts may also be considered for purchase by one or more other Invesco Funds or accounts. Invesco combines indications of
interest for IPOs for all Invesco Funds and accounts participating in purchase transactions for that IPO. When the full amount of all IPO orders for such Invesco Funds and accounts cannot be filled completely, Invesco shall allocate such
transactions in accordance with the following procedures.
Invesco or the Sub-Adviser may determine the
eligibility of each Invesco Fund and account that seeks to participate in a particular IPO by reviewing a number of factors, including market capitalization/liquidity suitability and sector/style suitability of the investment with the Invesco
Fund’s or account’s investment objective, policies, strategies and current holdings. Invesco will allocate securities issued in IPOs to eligible Invesco Funds and accounts on a pro rata basis based on order size.
Invesco Canada, Invesco Hong Kong and
Invesco Japan allocate IPOs on a pro rata basis based on size of order or in such other manner which they believe is fair and equitable.
Invesco Asset Management allocates IPOs on a
pro rata basis based on account size or in such other manner believed by Invesco Asset Management to be fair and equitable.
Invesco Deutschland and Invesco Senior
Secured do not subscribe to IPOs.
PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES
Please refer to Appendix L for information
on Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAX MATTERS
Dividends and Distributions
The following discussion of dividends and
distributions should be read in connection with the applicable sections in the Prospectus.
All dividends and distributions will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of a Fund unless the shareholder has requested in writing to receive such dividends and distributions in cash or that they be invested in shares of another Invesco Fund, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Purchasing Shares Automatic Dividend and Distribution Investment.” Such dividends and distributions will be reinvested at the net asset value per share
determined on the ex-dividend date.
The Fund calculates income dividends and
capital gain distributions the same way for each class. The amount of any income dividends per share will differ, however, generally due to any differences in the distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees applicable to the classes, as well as any
other expenses attributable to a particular class (Class Expenses). Class Expenses, including distribution plan expenses, must be allocated to the class for which they are incurred consistent with applicable legal principles under the 1940
Act.
Tax Matters
The following is a summary of certain
additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders that are not described in the Prospectus. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund or its shareholders, and the discussion
here and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning.
This “Tax Matters” section is
based on the Internal Revenue Code (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. 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. It is impossible to determine the effective rate of foreign tax in advance since the amount of the Fund’s assets to be
invested in various countries is not known. Under certain
circumstances, the Fund may elect to pass-through foreign 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.
Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund intends to qualify each year to pay exempt-interest dividends by satisfying the requirement that at the close of each quarter of the Fund’s taxable year at least 50% of the Fund’s total assets
consists of Municipal Securities, which are exempt from federal income tax.
Exempt-interest dividends. Distributions from the Fund will constitute exempt-interest dividends to the extent of the Fund’s tax-exempt interest income (net of allocable expenses and amortized bond premium). Exempt-interest dividends
distributed to shareholders of the Fund are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. However, shareholders required to file a federal income tax return will be required to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends on their
returns. Moreover, while exempt-interest dividends are excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, they may be subject to alternative minimum tax (AMT) in certain circumstances and may have other collateral tax consequences as
discussed below.
Distribution
of ordinary income and capital gains. Any gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of a tax-exempt security generally is treated as either long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon its
holding period, and is fully taxable as described in “Taxation of Fund Distributions ― Capital gain dividends.” However, gain recognized from the sale or other disposition of a Municipal Security purchased after April 30, 1993,
will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued market discount on such security. Distributions by the Fund of ordinary income and capital gains will be taxable to shareholders as discussed under “Taxation of Fund Distributions
― Distributions of ordinary income.”
Alternative minimum tax ― private
activity bonds. AMT is imposed in addition to, but only to the extent it exceeds, the regular tax and is computed at a maximum rate of 28% for non-corporate taxpayers on the excess of the taxpayer’s alternative
minimum taxable income (AMTI) over an exemption amount. Exempt-interest dividends derived from certain “private activity” Municipal Securities issued after August 7, 1986, generally will constitute an item of tax preference includable in
AMTI for non-corporate taxpayers. However, tax-exempt interest on private activity bonds issued in 2009 and 2010 is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the AMT. Consistent with its stated investment objective, each of Invesco High Yield
Municipal Fund, Invesco Intermediate Term Municipal Income Fund, Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Municipal Income Fund intends to limit its investments in private activity bonds subject to the AMT to no more than 20% of its
total assets in any given year. (Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, corporations are no longer subject to the alternative minimum tax for taxable years of the corporation beginning after December 31, 2017.)
Effect on taxation of social security
benefits; denial of interest deduction; “substantial users. Exempt-interest dividends must be taken into account in computing the portion, if any, of social security or railroad retirement benefits that must be
included in an individual shareholder’s gross income subject to federal income tax. Further, a shareholder of the Fund is denied a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of the Fund. Moreover,
a shareholder who is (or is related to) a “substantial user” of a facility financed by industrial development bonds held by the Fund will likely be subject to tax on dividends paid by the Fund that are derived from interest on such
bonds. Receipt of exempt-interest dividends may result in other collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies and foreign corporations engaged in a trade
or business in the United States.
Exemption from state tax. To the extent that exempt-interest dividends are derived from interest on obligations of a state or its political subdivisions or from interest on qualifying U.S. territorial obligations (including qualifying obligations
of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam), they also may be exempt from that state’s personal income taxes. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest on state and municipal securities of other
states.
Failure of a Municipal Security to qualify
to pay exempt-interest. Failure of the issuer of a tax-exempt security to comply with certain legal or contractual requirements relating to a Municipal Security could cause interest on the Municipal Security, as well
as Fund distributions derived from this interest, to become taxable, perhaps retroactively to the date the Municipal Security was issued. In such a case, the Fund may be required to report to the IRS and send to shareholders amended Forms 1099 for a
prior taxable year in order to report additional taxable income. This in turn could require shareholders to file amended federal and state income tax returns for such prior year to report and pay tax and interest on their pro rata share of the
additional amount of taxable income.
Distributions of ordinary income. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay taxable interest. The Fund also may distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the sale of its portfolio securities. If
you are a taxable investor, Fund distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s earnings and profits. None of the dividends paid by the Fund will qualify for the dividends-received deduction in
the case of corporate shareholders or as qualified dividend income subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate shareholders. Provided the Fund otherwise satisfies the Distribution Requirement, the Fund reserves the right to
retain, and not distribute to shareholders, income and gains taxable as ordinary income, in which case the Fund would be subject to regular corporate income tax rate.
Capital gain dividends. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her shares. In general, the Fund will recognize
long-term capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of assets it has owned for more than one year, and short-term capital gain or loss on investments it has owned for one year or less. Distributions of net capital gain (the excess of net
long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) that are properly reported by the Fund to shareholders as capital gain dividends generally will be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as long-term capital gain. Long-term
capital gain rates applicable to individuals are 0%, 15%, 20% or 25% depending on the nature of the capital gain and the individual’s taxable income. Distributions of net short-term capital gains for a taxable year in excess of net long-term
capital losses for such taxable year generally will be taxable to a shareholder receiving such distributions as ordinary income.
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.
Tax credit bonds. If the Fund holds, directly or indirectly, one or more “tax credit bonds” (including build America bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and qualified tax credit bonds) on one or more applicable dates during a
taxable year, the Fund may elect to permit its shareholders to claim a tax credit on their income tax returns equal to each shareholder’s proportionate share of tax credits from the applicable bonds
that otherwise would be allowed to the Fund. In such a case, shareholders
must include in gross income (as interest) their proportionate share of the income attributable to their proportionate share of those offsetting tax credits. A shareholder’s ability to claim a tax credit associated with one or more tax credit
bonds may be subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. (Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, build America bonds, clean renewable energy bonds and certain other qualified bonds may no longer be issued after December 31, 2017.) Even if the Fund
is eligible to pass-through tax credits to shareholders, the Fund may choose not to do so.
U.S. Government interest. Income earned on certain U.S. Government obligations is exempt from state and local personal income taxes if earned directly by you. States also grant tax-free status to dividends paid to you from interest earned on
direct obligations of the U.S. Government, subject in some states to minimum investment or reporting requirements that must be met by the Fund. Income on investments by the Fund in certain other obligations, such as repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. Government obligations, commercial paper and federal agency-backed obligations (e.g., GNMA or FNMA obligations), generally does not qualify for tax-free treatment. The rules on exclusion of this income are different for
corporations. If the Fund is a fund of funds, see “Taxation of the Fund Asset allocation funds.”
Dividends declared in December and paid in
January. Ordinarily, shareholders are required to take distributions by the Fund into account in the year in which the distributions are made. However, dividends declared in October, November or December of any year
and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month will be deemed to have been received by the shareholders (and made by the Fund) on December 31 of such calendar year if such dividends are actually paid in January of the
following year. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year in accordance with the guidance that has been provided by the IRS.
Medicare tax. A 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on net investment income earned by certain individuals, estates and trusts. “Net investment income,” for these purposes, means investment income, including ordinary dividends and
capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares, reduced by the deductions properly allocable to such income. In the case of an individual, the tax will be imposed on the
lesser of (1) the shareholder’s net investment income or (2) the amount by which the shareholder’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds $250,000 (if the shareholder is married and filing jointly or a surviving spouse), $125,000 (if the
shareholder is married and filing separately) or $200,000 (in any other case). This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income tax return. Net investment income does not include exempt-interest
dividends.
Distributions paid
by the Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® AMT-Free New York Municipal Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may exclude any exempt interest dividends paid to you by the Fund from your taxable income for purposes of the New
York state personal income taxes and the New York City personal income tax, if the dividends are excluded from your gross income for federal income tax purposes and if the dividends are attributable to interest on:
•
|
obligations of the State of
New York or its political subdivisions; or
|
•
|
qualifying obligations
of U.S. territories and possessions.
|
Dividends from (or the value of) the Fund,
including exempt interest dividends, may be taken into account in determining the New York State and New York City income and franchise taxes on business corporations and insurance companies when paid to (or held by) shareholders subject to such
taxes.
Distributions paid by the
Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® California Municipal Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Limited Term California Municipal Fund. Shareholders of the Fund may exclude any exempt interest dividends paid by
the Fund from California personal tax if:
•
|
the Fund qualifies as a
regulated investment company under the Code and at the close of each
|
|
quarter of its taxable year,
at least 50 percent of the value of its total assets consists of obligations, the interest on which is exempt from taxation by the State of California when held by an individual;
|
•
|
the dividends are derived
from interest on obligations of the State of California and its political subdivisions or qualifying obligations of U.S. territories and possessions that are exempt from state taxation under federal law;
|
•
|
the dividends paid do not
exceed the amount of interest (minus certain non-deductible expenses) the Fund receives, during its taxable year, on obligations that, when held by an individual, pay interest exempt from taxation by California; and
|
•
|
the Fund
properly identifies and designates the dividends as California exempt interest dividends in a written notice mailed to the investor.
|
No deduction is generally allowed for
interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry shares of a fund that distributes exempt interest dividends that are exempt from the California personal income tax.
Any distributions of net short-term and
long-term capital gain earned by the Fund and any gain from the sale of shares of the Fund by a shareholder are included in a shareholder’s taxable income for purposes of the California personal income tax. Residents of California may be
subject to backup withholding at 7% on the proceeds from the sale of Fund shares.
Distributions from the Fund, including
exempt-interest dividends, may be taxable to shareholders that are subject to certain provisions of the California Corporation Tax Law.
Distributions paid by the Invesco
Oppenheimer Rochester® New Jersey Municipal Fund. Distributions paid by qualified investment funds, like the Fund, are not included in gross income for purposes of the New Jersey individual gross income tax to
the extent such distributions are attributable to interest or gain from obligations issued by or on behalf of the state of New Jersey or its political subdivisions, or obligations free from state or local taxation by any act of the state of New
Jersey or laws of the U.S. (including qualifying obligations of Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands). In order to qualify as a qualified investment fund, the Fund must, among other things, have no investments other than interest-bearing
obligations, obligations issued at a discount, and cash and cash items, including receivables. In addition, at the close of each quarter of the taxable year, it must have not less than 80% of the aggregate principal amount of all of its investments
(excluding cash, cash items, receivables and certain other financial instruments) invested in the tax-exempt obligations described above. Dividends derived from interest earned on indirect U.S. government obligations (Ginnie Maes, Fannie Maes, etc.)
or from obligations of other states and their political subdivisions are fully taxable for New Jersey individual gross income tax purposes. To the extent that such investments are made by the New Jersey Fund, such as for temporary or defensive
purposes, distributions derived from to such investments will be included in an individual shareholder’s New Jersey gross income. In the event that a taxpayer’s tax-exempt interest income and tax-exempt distributions from a qualified
investment fund exceeds $10,000, the taxpayer is required to include an itemized schedule detailing the amount received from each source. Any distributions of capital gains earned by the Fund (other than from obligations issued by or on behalf of
the state of New Jersey or its political subdivisions, or obligations free from state or local taxation by any act of the state of New Jersey or laws of the U.S.) are included in an individual shareholder’s New Jersey gross
income.
Distributions paid by
the Invesco Oppenheimer Rochester® Pennsylvania Municipal Fund. Distributions paid by the Fund that are attributable to interest on Pennsylvania state and municipal obligations or qualifying obligations of the
United States and certain of its territories or possessions, the interest on which is exempt from state taxation under the laws of Pennsylvania or the United States, will be exempt from Pennsylvania personal income tax. For shareholders who are
residents of Philadelphia, income from these sources, as well as distributions paid by the Fund that are designated as capital gain dividends for federal income tax purposes, will also be exempt from Philadelphia School District investment income
tax. Other Pennsylvania counties, cities, and townships generally do not tax individuals on unearned income.
Any distributions of net short-term and
long-term capital gain earned by the Fund and any gain from the sale of shares of the Fund by a shareholder are included in a shareholder’s taxable income for purposes of the Pennsylvania personal income tax.
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.

― 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 Accounts & Services 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.
Sales at a loss within six months of
purchase. Any capital loss arising from the sale or redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received on such
shares. In the case of shares in a tax-free Fund, any such loss will be disallowed to the extent of any exempt-interest dividends that were received within the six-month period. However, this rule does not apply to any loss incurred
on a sale or redemption of shares of a tax-free Fund that declares exempt-interest dividends daily and distributes them at least monthly for which your holding period began after December 22, 2010.
Deferral of basis ― any class that
bears a front-end sales load. If a shareholder (a) incurs a sales load in acquiring shares of the Fund, (b) disposes of such shares less than 91 days after they are acquired, and (c) subsequently acquires shares of
the Fund or another Fund by January 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the disposition of the original shares occurred at a reduced sales load pursuant to a right to reinvest at such reduced sales load acquired in
connection with the acquisition of the shares disposed of, then the sales load on the shares disposed of (to the extent of the reduction in the sales load on the shares subsequently acquired) shall not be taken into account in determining gain or
loss on the shares disposed of, but shall be treated as incurred on the acquisition of the shares subsequently acquired. The wash sale rules may also limit the amount of loss that may be taken into account on disposition after such
adjustment.
Conversion of
shares of the Fund into other shares of the same Fund. The conversion of shares of one class of the Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or
loss will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs
automatically pursuant to the terms of the class or is initiated by the
shareholder. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax consequences of a conversion of shares.
Exchange of shares of the Fund for shares of
another Fund. The exchange of shares in one Fund for shares of another Fund is taxable for federal income tax purposes and the exchange will be reported as a taxable sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of
shares of a Fund is made using the proceeds from a redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day as the redemption. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors regarding the state and local tax consequences of an
exchange of shares.
Reportable
transactions. Under Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss with respect to the Fund’s shares of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate
shareholder (or certain greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of
whether the taxpayer’s treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.
Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions. Set forth below is a general description of the tax treatment of certain types of securities, investment techniques and transactions that may apply to a fund. This section should be read in conjunction with the
discussion under “Description of the Funds and their Investments and Risks ― Investment Strategies and Risks” for a detailed description of the various types of securities and investment techniques that apply to the
Fund.
In general. In general, gain or loss recognized by a fund on the sale or other disposition of portfolio investments will be a capital gain or loss. Such capital gain and loss may be long-term or short-term depending, in general,
upon the length of time a particular investment position is maintained and, in some cases, upon the nature of the transaction. Property held for more than one year generally will be eligible for long-term capital gain or loss treatment. The
application of certain rules described below may serve to alter the manner in which the holding period for a security is determined or may otherwise affect the characterization as long-term or short-term, and also the timing of the realization
and/or character, of certain gains or losses.
Certain fixed-income investments. Gain recognized on the disposition of a debt obligation purchased by a fund at a market discount (generally, at a price less than its principal amount) will be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the portion of
the market discount that accrued during the period of time the fund held the debt obligation unless the fund made a current inclusion election to accrue market discount into income as it accrues. If a fund purchases a debt obligation (such as a zero
coupon security or pay-in-kind security) that was originally issued at a discount, the fund generally is required to include in gross income each year the portion of the original issue discount that accrues during such year. Therefore, a
fund’s investment in such securities may cause the fund to recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any cash payments on the securities. To generate cash to satisfy those distribution requirements, a fund may
have to sell portfolio securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of fund shares.
Investments in debt obligations that are at
risk of or in default present tax issues for a fund. Tax rules are not entirely clear about issues such as whether and to what extent a fund should recognize market discount on a debt obligation, when a fund may
cease to accrue interest, original issue discount or market discount, when and to what extent a fund may take deductions for bad debts or worthless securities and how a fund should allocate payments received on obligations in default between
principal and income. These and other related issues will be addressed by a fund in order to ensure that it distributes sufficient income to preserve its status as a regulated investment company.
Options, futures, forward contracts, swap
agreements and hedging transactions. In general, option premiums received by a fund are not immediately included in the income of the fund. Instead, the premiums are recognized when the option contract expires, the
option is exercised by the holder, or the fund transfers
or otherwise terminates the option (e.g., through a closing transaction). If
an option written by a fund is exercised and the fund sells or delivers the underlying stock, the fund generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to (a) the sum of the strike price and the option premium received by the fund minus (b) the
fund’s basis in the stock. Such gain or loss generally will be short-term or long-term depending upon the holding period of the underlying stock. If securities are purchased by a fund pursuant to the exercise of a put option written by it, the
fund generally will subtract the premium received from its cost basis in the securities purchased. The gain or loss with respect to any termination of a fund’s obligation under an option other than through the exercise of the option and
related sale or delivery of the underlying stock generally will be short-term gain or loss depending on whether the premium income received by the fund is greater or less than the amount paid by the fund (if any) in terminating the transaction.
Thus, for example, if an option written by a fund expires unexercised, the fund generally will recognize short-term gain equal to the premium received.
The tax treatment of certain futures
contracts entered into by a fund as well as listed non-equity options written or purchased by the fund on U.S. exchanges (including options on futures contracts, broad-based equity indices and debt securities) may be governed by section 1256 of the
Code (section 1256 contracts). Gains or losses on section 1256 contracts generally are considered 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses (60/40), although certain foreign currency gains and losses from such contracts may be treated
as ordinary in character. Also, any section 1256 contracts held by a fund at the end of each taxable year (and, for purposes of the 4% excise tax, on certain other dates as prescribed under the Code) are “marked-to-market” with the
result that unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized and the resulting gain or loss is treated as ordinary or 60/40 gain or loss, as applicable. Section 1256 contracts do not include any interest rate swap, currency swap,
basis swap, interest rate cap, interest rate floor, commodity swap, equity swap, equity index swap, credit default swap or similar agreement.
In addition to the special rules described
above in respect of options and futures transactions, a fund’s transactions in other derivative instruments (including options, forward contracts and swap agreements) as well as its other hedging, short sale, or similar transactions, may be
subject to one or more special tax rules (including the constructive sale, notional principal contract, straddle, wash sale and short sale rules). These rules may affect whether gains and losses recognized by a fund are treated as ordinary or
capital or as short-term or long-term, accelerate the recognition of income or gains to the fund, defer losses to the fund, and cause adjustments in the holding periods of the fund’s securities. These rules, therefore, could affect the amount,
timing and/or character of distributions to shareholders. Moreover, because the tax rules applicable to derivative financial instruments are in some cases uncertain under current law, an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with
respect to these rules (which determination or guidance could be retroactive) may affect whether a fund has made sufficient distributions and otherwise satisfied the relevant requirements to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment
company and avoid a fund-level tax.
Certain of a fund’s investments in
derivatives and foreign currency-denominated instruments, and the fund’s transactions in foreign currencies and hedging activities, may produce a difference between its book income and its taxable income. If a fund’s book income is less
than the sum of its taxable income and net tax-exempt income (if any), the fund could be required to make distributions exceeding book income to qualify as a regulated investment company. If a fund’s book income exceeds the sum of its taxable
income and net tax-exempt income (if any), the distribution of any such excess will be treated as (i) a dividend to the extent of the fund’s remaining earnings and profits (including current earnings and profits arising from tax-exempt income,
reduced by related deductions), (ii) thereafter, as a return of capital to the extent of the recipient’s basis in the shares, and (iii) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.
Foreign currency transactions. A fund’s transactions in foreign currencies, foreign currency-denominated debt obligations and certain foreign currency options, futures contracts and forward contracts (and similar instruments) may give rise to
ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease a fund’s ordinary income distributions to you, and may cause some or
all of the fund’s previously distributed
income to be classified as a return of capital. In certain cases, a fund may
make an election to treat such gain or loss as capital.
PFIC investments. A fund may invest in securities of foreign companies that may be classified under the Code as PFICs. In general, a foreign company is classified as a PFIC if at least one-half of its assets constitute investment-type
assets or 75% or more of its gross income is investment-type income. When investing in PFIC securities, a fund intends to mark-to-market these securities under certain provisions of the Code and recognize any unrealized gains as ordinary income at
the end of the fund’s fiscal and excise tax years. Deductions for losses are allowable only to the extent of any current or previously recognized gains. These gains (reduced by allowable losses) are treated as ordinary income that a fund is
required to distribute, even though it has not sold or received dividends from these securities. You should also be aware that the designation of a foreign security as a PFIC security will cause its income dividends to fall outside of the definition
of qualified foreign corporation dividends. These dividends generally will not qualify for the reduced rate of taxation on qualified dividends when distributed to you by a fund. Foreign companies are not required to identify themselves as PFICs. Due
to various complexities in identifying PFICs, a fund can give no assurances that it will be able to identify portfolio securities in foreign corporations that are PFICs in time for the fund to make a mark-to-market election. If a fund is unable to
identify an investment as a PFIC and thus does not make a mark-to-market election, the fund may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any “excess distribution” or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such
income is distributed as a taxable dividend by the fund to its shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest may be imposed on a fund in respect of deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains.
Investments in non-U.S. REITs. While non-U.S. REITs often use complex acquisition structures that seek to minimize taxation in the source country, an investment by a fund in a non-U.S. REIT may subject the fund, directly or indirectly, to corporate
taxes, withholding taxes, transfer taxes and other indirect taxes in the country in which the real estate acquired by the non-U.S. REIT is located. The fund’s pro rata share of any such taxes will reduce the fund’s return on its
investment. A fund’s investment in a non-U.S. REIT may be considered an investment in a PFIC, as discussed above in “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions ― PFIC investments.” Additionally, foreign withholding taxes on
distributions from the non-U.S. REIT may be reduced or eliminated under certain tax treaties, as discussed above in “Taxation of the Fund ― Foreign income tax.” Also, the fund in certain limited circumstances may be required to
file an income tax return in the source country and pay tax on any gain realized from its investment in the non-U.S. REIT under rules similar to those in the United States which tax foreign persons on gain realized from dispositions of interests in
U.S. real estate.
Investments
in U.S. REITs. A U.S. REIT is not subject to federal income tax on the income and gains it distributes to shareholders. Dividends paid by a U.S. REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be taxable as
ordinary income up to the amount of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital gain dividends paid by a U.S. REIT to a fund will be treated as long-term capital gains by the fund and, in turn, may be distributed by
the fund to its shareholders as a capital gain distribution. Because of certain noncash expenses, such as property depreciation, an equity U.S. REIT’s cash flow may exceed its taxable income. The equity U.S. REIT, and in turn a fund, may
distribute this excess cash to shareholders in the form of a return of capital distribution. However, if a U.S. REIT is operated in a manner that fails to qualify as a REIT, an investment in the U.S. REIT would become subject to double taxation,
meaning the taxable income of the U.S. REIT would be subject to federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate without any deduction for dividends paid to shareholders and the dividends would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income (or
possibly as qualified dividend income) to the extent of the U.S. REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Also, see “Tax Treatment of Portfolio Transactions ― Investment in taxable mortgage pools (excess inclusion
income)” and “Foreign Shareholders ― U.S. withholding tax at the source” with respect to certain other tax aspects of investing in U.S. REITs.
Investment in taxable mortgage pools (excess
inclusion income). Under a Notice issued by the IRS, the Code and Treasury regulations to be issued, a portion of a fund’s income from a U.S. REIT that is attributable to the REIT’s residual interest in a
real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) or equity interests in a “taxable mortgage pool” (referred to in the Code as an excess inclusion) will be subject to
federal income tax in all events. The excess inclusion income of a regulated
investment company, such as a fund, will be allocated to shareholders of the regulated investment company in proportion to the dividends received by such shareholders, with the same consequences as if the shareholders held the related REMIC residual
interest or, if applicable, taxable mortgage pool directly. In general, excess inclusion income allocated to shareholders (i) cannot be offset by net operating losses (subject to a limited exception for certain thrift institutions), (ii) will
constitute unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) to entities (including qualified pension plans, individual retirement accounts, 401(k) plans, Keogh plans or other tax-exempt entities) subject to tax on UBTI, thereby potentially requiring such an
entity that is allocated excess inclusion income, and otherwise might not be required to file a tax return, to file a tax return and pay tax on such income, and (iii) in the case of a foreign stockholder, will not qualify for any reduction in U.S.
federal withholding tax. In addition, if at any time during any taxable year a “disqualified organization” (which generally includes certain cooperatives, governmental entities, and tax-exempt organizations not subject to UBTI) is a
record holder of a share in a regulated investment company, then the regulated investment company will be subject to a tax equal to that portion of its excess inclusion income for the taxable year that is allocable to the disqualified organization,
multiplied by the corporate income tax rate. The Notice imposes certain reporting requirements upon regulated investment companies that have excess inclusion income. There can be no assurance that a fund will not allocate to shareholders excess
inclusion income.
These rules are
potentially applicable to a fund with respect to any income it receives from the equity interests of certain mortgage pooling vehicles, either directly or, as is more likely, through an investment in a U.S. REIT. It is unlikely that these rules will
apply to a fund that has a non-REIT strategy.
Investments in partnerships and QPTPs. For purposes of the Income Requirement, income derived by a fund from a partnership that is not a QPTP will be treated as qualifying income only to the extent such income is attributable to items of income of the
partnership that would be qualifying income if realized directly by the fund. While the rules are not entirely clear with respect to a fund investing in a partnership outside a master-feeder structure, for purposes of testing whether a fund
satisfies the Asset Diversification Test, the fund generally is treated as owning a pro rata share of the underlying assets of a partnership. See “Taxation of the Fund ― Qualification as a regulated investment company.” In
contrast, different rules apply to a partnership that is a QPTP. A QPTP is a partnership (a) the interests in which are traded on an established securities market, (b) that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and (c) that
derives less than 90% of its income from sources that satisfy the Income Requirement (e.g., because it invests in commodities). All of the net income derived by a fund from an interest in a QPTP will be treated as qualifying income but the fund may
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in one or more QPTPs. However, there can be no assurance that a partnership classified as a QPTP in one year will qualify as a QPTP in the next year. Any such failure to annually qualify as a QPTP might,
in turn, cause a fund to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company. Although, in general, the passive loss rules of the Code do not apply to RICs, such rules do apply to a fund with respect to items attributable to an interest in a QPTP.
Fund investments in partnerships, including in QPTPs, may result in the fund being subject to state, local or foreign income, franchise or withholding tax liabilities.
If an MLP is treated as a partnership for
U.S. federal income tax purposes (whether or not a QPTP), all or portion of the dividends received by a fund from the MLP likely will be treated as a return of capital for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of accelerated deductions available
with respect to the activities of such MLPs. Further, because of these accelerated deductions, on the disposition of interests in such an MLP, a fund likely will realize taxable income in excess of economic gain with respect to those MLP interests
(or if the fund does not dispose of the MLP, the fund could realize taxable income in excess of cash flow with respect to the MLP in a later period), and the fund must take such income into account in determining whether the fund has satisfied its
Distribution Requirement. A fund may have to borrow or liquidate securities to satisfy its Distribution Requirement and to meet its redemption requests, even though investment considerations might otherwise make it undesirable for the fund to sell
securities or borrow money at such time. In addition, any gain recognized, either upon the sale of a fund’s MLP interest or sale by the MLP of property held by it, including in excess of economic gain thereon, treated as so-called
“recapture income,” will be treated as ordinary income. Therefore, to the extent a fund invests in MLPs, fund
shareholders might receive greater amounts of distributions from the fund
taxable as ordinary income than they otherwise would in the absence of such MLP investments.
Although MLPs are generally expected to be
treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, some MLPs may be treated as PFICs or “regular” corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The treatment of particular MLPs for U.S. federal income tax purposes will
affect the extent to which a fund can invest in MLPs and will impact the amount, character, and timing of income recognized by the Fund.
Investments in commodities ―
structured notes, corporate subsidiary and certain ETFs. Gains from the disposition of commodities, including precious metals, will neither be considered qualifying income for purposes of satisfying the Income
Requirement nor qualifying assets for purposes of satisfying the Asset Diversification Test. See “Taxation of the Fund ― Qualification as a regulated investment company.” Also, the IRS has issued a revenue ruling which holds that
income derived from commodity-linked swaps is not qualifying income for purposes of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon which only the fund that received the
private letter ruling may rely), the IRS provides that income from certain alternative investments which create commodity exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be
considered qualifying income under the Code. In September 2016, the IRS announced that it will no longer issue private letter rulings on questions relating to the treatment of a corporation as a RIC that require a determination of whether a
financial instrument or position, such as a commodity-linked or structured note, is a security under section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act. (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.) This caused the IRS to revoke the portion of any rulings that required such a determination, some of which were revoked retroactively and others of which were revoked
prospectively as of a date agreed upon with the IRS. 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. Recently released 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 Fund 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.
Amounts reported by the Fund to shareholders
as capital gain dividends (a) that are attributable to certain capital gain dividends received from a qualified investment entity (QIE) (generally defined as either (i) a U.S. REIT or (ii) a RIC classified as a “U.S. real property holding
corporation” or which would be if the exceptions for holding 5% or less of a class of publicly traded shares or an interest in a domestically controlled QIE did not apply), or (b) that are realized by the Fund on the sale of a “U.S. real
property interest” (including gain realized on the sale of shares in a QIE other than one that is domestically controlled), will not be exempt from U.S. federal income tax and may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or lower
treaty rate) if the Fund by reason of having a REIT strategy is classified as a QIE. If the Fund is so classified, foreign shareholders owning more than 5% of the Fund’s shares may be treated as realizing gain from the disposition of a U.S.
real property interest, causing Fund distributions to be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the corporate income tax rate, and requiring the filing of a nonresident U.S. income tax return. In addition, if the Fund is classified as a QIE,
anti-avoidance rules apply to certain wash sale transactions. Namely, if the Fund is a domestically- controlled QIE and a foreign shareholder disposes of the Fund’s shares prior to the Fund paying a distribution attributable to the disposition
of a U.S. real property interest and the foreign shareholder later acquires an identical stock interest in a wash sale transaction, the foreign shareholder may still be required to pay U.S. tax on the Fund’s distribution. Also, the sale of
shares of the Fund, if classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation,” could also be considered a sale of a U.S. real property interest with any resulting gain from such sale being subject to U.S. tax as income
“effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business.”
Income effectively connected with a U.S.
trade or business. If the income from the Fund is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign shareholder, then ordinary income dividends, capital gain dividends and any gains realized
upon the sale or redemption of shares of the Fund will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. citizens or domestic corporations and require the filing of a nonresident U.S. income tax return.
Tax certification and backup withholding. Foreign shareholders may have special U.S. tax certification requirements to avoid backup withholding (at a rate of 24%) and, if applicable, to obtain the benefit of any income tax treaty between the foreign
shareholder’s country of residence and the United States. To claim these tax benefits, the foreign shareholder must provide a properly completed Form W-8BEN (or other Form W-8, where applicable, or their substitute forms) to establish his or
her status as a non-U.S. investor, to claim beneficial ownership over the assets in the account, and to claim, if applicable, a reduced rate of or exemption from withholding tax under the applicable treaty. A Form W-8BEN provided without a U.S.
taxpayer identification number remains in effect for a period of three years beginning on the date that it is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year. However, non-U.S. investors must advise the Fund of any changes of
circumstances that would render the information given on the form incorrect, and must then provide a new W-8BEN to avoid the prospective application of backup withholding. Forms W-8BEN with U.S. taxpayer identification numbers remain valid
indefinitely, or until the investor has a change of circumstances that renders the form incorrect and necessitates a new form and tax certification. Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). Under FATCA, the Fund will be required to withhold a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities, referred to as foreign financial institutions (FFI) or non-financial foreign entities (NFFE).
After December 31, 2018, FATCA withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions, return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the
IRS, which can be relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). The FATCA withholding tax generally can be avoided: (a) by an FFI, if it reports certain direct and
indirect ownership of foreign financial accounts held by U.S. persons with the FFI and (b) by an NFFE, if it: (i) certifies that it has no substantial U.S. persons as owners or (ii) if it does have such owners, reporting information relating to
them. The U.S. Treasury has negotiated intergovernmental agreements (IGA) with certain countries and is in various stages of negotiations with a number of other foreign countries with respect to one or more alternative approaches to implement
FATCA.
An FFI can avoid FATCA
withholding if it is deemed compliant or by becoming a “participating FFI,” which requires the FFI to enter into a U.S. tax compliance agreement with the IRS under section 1471(b) of the Code (FFI agreement) under which it agrees to
verify, report and disclose certain of its U.S. accountholders and meet certain other specified requirements. The FFI will either report the specified information about the U.S. accounts to the IRS, or, to the government of the FFI’s country
of residence (pursuant to the terms and conditions of applicable law and an applicable IGA entered into between the U.S. and the FFI’s country of residence), which will, in turn, report the specified information to the IRS. An FFI that is
resident in a country that has entered into an IGA with the U.S. to implement FATCA will be exempt from FATCA withholding provided that the FFI shareholder and the applicable foreign government comply with the terms of such agreement.
An NFFE that is the beneficial owner of a
payment from the Fund can avoid the FATCA withholding tax generally by certifying that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or by providing the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner. The NFFE will
report the information to the Fund or other applicable withholding agent, which will, in turn, report the information to the IRS.
Such foreign shareholders also may fall into
certain exempt, excepted or deemed compliant categories as established by U.S. Treasury regulations, IGAs, and other guidance regarding FATCA. An FFI or NFFE that invests in the Fund will need to provide the Fund with documentation properly
certifying the entity’s status under FATCA in order to avoid FATCA withholding. Non-U.S. investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the impact of these requirements on their investment in the Fund. The requirements imposed by
FATCA are different from, and in addition to, the U.S. tax certification rules to avoid backup withholding described above. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these requirements to their own
situation.
U.S. estate tax. Transfers by gift of shares of the Fund by a foreign shareholder who is a nonresident alien individual will not be subject to U.S. federal gift tax. An individual who, at the time of death, is a foreign shareholder will
nevertheless be subject to U.S. federal estate tax with respect to shares at the graduated rates applicable to U.S. citizens and residents, unless a treaty exemption applies. If a treaty exemption is available, a decedent’s estate may
nonetheless need to file a U.S. estate tax return to claim the exemption in order to obtain a U.S. federal transfer certificate. The transfer certificate will identify the property (i.e., Fund shares) as to which the U.S. federal estate tax lien has
been released. In the absence of a treaty, there is a $13,000 statutory estate tax credit (equivalent to an estate with assets of $60,000).
Local Tax Considerations. Rules of state and local taxation of ordinary income, qualified dividend income and capital gain dividends may differ from the rules for U.S. federal income taxation described above. Distributions may also be subject to
additional state, local and foreign taxes depending on each shareholder’s particular situation.
DISTRIBUTION OF SECURITIES
Distributor
The Trust has entered into a master
distribution agreement, as amended, relating to the Funds (the Distribution Agreement) with Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors), a registered broker-dealer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invesco Ltd., pursuant to which Invesco
Distributors acts as the distributor of shares of the Funds. The address of Invesco Distributors is 11 Greenway Plaza, Suite 1000, Houston, TX 77046-1173. Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are affiliated with Invesco Distributors. See
“Management of the Trust.” In addition to the Funds, Invesco Distributors serves as distributor to many other mutual funds that are offered to retail investors. The following Distribution of Securities information is about all of the
Invesco Funds that offer retail and/or Class R5 or Class R6 shares. Not all Invesco Funds offer all share classes.
The Distribution Agreement provides Invesco
Distributors with the exclusive right to distribute shares of the Funds on a continuous basis directly and through other broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries with whom Invesco Distributors has entered into selected dealer and/or similar
agreements. Invesco Distributors has not undertaken to sell any specified number of shares of any classes of the Funds.
Invesco Distributors expects to pay sales
commissions from its own resources to dealers and institutions who sell Class C and Class R shares of the Funds at the time of such sales.
Invesco Distributors may pay sales
commissions to dealers and institutions who sell Class C shares of the Invesco Funds at the time of such sales. A predecessor of Invesco Distributors paid sales commission to dealers and institutions who sold Class C5 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 quarterly 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% and will commence either on the thirteenth month after the first purchase,
on accounts on which a dealer concession was paid, or immediately, on accounts on which a dealer concession was not paid. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession, it will retain all payments received by it relating to Class R shares for the
first year after they are purchased. Invesco Distributors will make quarterly payments to dealers and institutions based on the average net asset value of Class R shares that are attributable to shareholders for whom the dealers and institutions are
designated as dealers of record.
The
Trust (on behalf of any class of any Invesco Fund) or Invesco Distributors may terminate the Distribution Agreements on 60 days’ written notice without penalty. The Distribution Agreements will terminate automatically in the event of its
assignment.
Total sales charges (front
end and CDSCs) paid in connection with the sale of shares of each class of each Fund, if applicable, for the last three fiscal years are found in Appendix O.

For All Funds
The Plans compensate or reimburse Invesco
Distributors, as applicable, 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 may include, but are not limited to, the following: printing of
prospectuses and statements of additional information and reports for other than existing shareholders; overhead; preparation and distribution of advertising material and sales literature; expenses of organizing and conducting sales seminars;
supplemental payments to dealers and other institutions such as asset-based sales charges or as payments of service fees under shareholder service arrangements; and costs of administering each Plan.
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 February 29, 2020 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 February 29, 2020.
As required by Rule 12b-1, the Plans were
approved by 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: (1) rapid account access; (2) relatively predictable flow of cash; and (3) a well-developed, dependable
network of shareholder service agents to help to curb sharp fluctuations in rates of redemptions and sales, thereby reducing the chance that an unanticipated increase in net redemptions could adversely affect the performance of each Fund.
Unless terminated earlier in accordance with
their terms, the Plans continue from year to year as long as such continuance is specifically approved, in person, at least annually by the Board, including a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees. A Plan may be terminated as to any Fund or class by
the vote of a majority of the Rule 12b-1 Trustees or, with respect to a particular class, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that class.
Any change in 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 in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting upon such amendment. As long as the Plans are in effect, the selection or nomination of the Independent Trustees is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees.
Amounts payable by a Fund under the
Compensation Plan need not be directly related to the expenses actually incurred by Invesco Distributors on behalf of each Fund. The Plan does not obligate the Funds to reimburse Invesco Distributors for the actual allocated share of expenses
Invesco Distributors may incur in fulfilling its obligations under the Plan. Thus, even if Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated share of expenses exceeds the fee payable to Invesco Distributors at any given time, under the 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 Plan, Invesco Distributors will retain the full amount of the fee.
Amounts payable under the Reimbursement Plan
must be directly related to the expenses incurred by Invesco Distributors on behalf of each Fund, as the Plan obligates the Funds to reimburse Invesco Distributors for its actual allocated share of expenses incurred for the period. Reimbursement
will be made through payments made at the end of each month. Reimbursement expenses for Investor Class Shares covered by the Reimbursement Plan shall be computed over a rolling twelve-month period. If Invesco Distributors’ actual allocated
share of expenses incurred pursuant to the Reimbursement Plan for the period exceeds the annual cap, 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 Plan for the period is less than the annual cap, Invesco Distributors is entitled to be reimbursed only for its actual allocated share of expenses.
Under a Shareholder Service Agreement, a
Fund agrees to pay periodically fees to selected dealers and other institutions who render the foregoing services to their customers. The fees payable under a shareholder service agreement will be calculated at the end of each payment period for
each business day of the Funds during such period at the annual rate specified in each agreement based on the average daily net asset value of the Funds’ shares purchased or acquired through exchange. 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 on an agency basis, may receive payments from the Funds pursuant to the Plans. Invesco Distributors does not act as principal, but rather as agent for the Funds, in making dealer incentive and shareholder servicing payments
to dealers and other financial institutions under the Plans. These payments are an obligation of the Funds and not of Invesco Distributors.
Because of fluctuations in net asset value,
the Plan 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.
If the Plans are terminated or not
continued, the Fund would not be contractually obligated to pay Invesco Distributors for any expenses not previously reimbursed by the Fund or recovered through contingent deferred sales charges.
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 each fiscal year.
The Funds may pay a service fee of up to the
cap disclosed in the Fund’s Plan and in any case no greater than 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A, Class C, 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 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 include responding to customer inquiries and providing customers with the information about their investments. Any amounts not paid as a service fee under each Plan would constitute
an asset-based sales charge.

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:
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 have a superior ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-2:
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 have a strong ability to repay short-term debt obligations.
P-3:
Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 have 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
While the global
short-term ‘prime’ rating scale is applied to US municipal tax-exempt commercial paper, these programs are typically backed by external letters of credit or liquidity facilities and their short-term
prime ratings usually map to the long-term rating of the enhancing bank or
financial institution and not to the municipality’s rating. Other short-term municipal obligations, which generally have different funding sources for repayment, are rated using two additional short-term rating scales (i.e., the MIG and VMIG
scales discussed below).
The Municipal
Investment Grade (MIG) scale is used to rate US municipal bond anticipation notes of up to three years maturity. Municipal notes rated on the MIG scale may be secured by either pledged revenues or proceeds of a take-out financing received prior to
note maturity. MIG ratings expire at the maturity of the obligation, and the issuer’s long-term rating is only one consideration in assigning the MIG rating. MIG ratings are divided into three levels—MIG 1 through MIG 3—while
speculative grade short-term obligations are designated SG.
MIG 1: This
designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.
MIG 2: This
designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.
MIG 3: This
designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.
SG: This
designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.
Demand Obligation Ratings
In the case of variable rate demand
obligations (VRDOs), a two-component rating is assigned. The components are a long-term rating and a short-term demand obligation rating. The long-term rating addresses the issuer’s ability to meet scheduled principal and interest payments.
The short-term demand obligation rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider to make payments associated with the purchase-price-upon-demand feature (“demand feature”) of the VRDO. The short-term demand
obligation rating uses the VMIG scale. VMIG ratings with liquidity support use as an input the short-term Counterparty Risk Assessment of the support provider, or the long-term rating of the underlying obligor in the absence of third party liquidity
support. Transitions of VMIG ratings of demand obligations with conditional liquidity support differ from transitions on the Prime scale to reflect the risk that external liquidity support will terminate if the issuer’s long-term rating drops
below investment grade. Please see our methodology that discusses demand obligations with conditional liquidity support.
We typically assign the VMIG short-term
demand obligation rating if the frequency of the demand feature is less than every three years. If the frequency of the demand feature is less than three years but the purchase price is payable only with remarketing proceeds, the short-term demand
obligation rating is “NR”.
VMIG 1:
This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections that ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon
demand.
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 that ensure the timely payment of
purchase price upon demand.
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 that ensure the
timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
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 an investment grade short-term rating or
may lack the structural and/or legal protections necessary
to ensure the timely payment of purchase price upon demand.
Standard &
Poor's Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings
Issue credit ratings are based, in varying
degrees, on S&P Global Ratings’ analysis of the following considerations:
•
|
The likelihood of
payment--the capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;
|
•
|
The nature and provisions of
the financial obligation, and the promise we impute; and
|
•
|
The
protection afforded by, and relative position of, the financial obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
|
Issue ratings are an assessment of default
risk but may incorporate an assessment of relative seniority or ultimate recovery in the event of default. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above. (Such
differentiation may apply when an entity has both senior and subordinated obligations, secured and unsecured obligations, or operating company and holding company obligations.)
AAA: An
obligation rated 'AAA' has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.
AA: An
obligation rated 'AA' differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.
A: An
obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the
obligation is still strong.
BBB: An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitments
on the obligation.
BB, B, CCC,
CC and C: Obligations rated 'BB', 'B', 'CCC' 'CC', and 'C' are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. 'BB' indicates the least degree of speculation and 'C' the highest. While such obligations
will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.
BB: An
obligation rated 'BB' is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's inadequate
capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
B: An
obligation rated 'B' is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated 'BB', but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair
the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CCC: An
obligation rated 'CCC' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business,
financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
CC: An
obligation rated 'CC' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The 'CC' rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to
default.
C: An
obligation rated 'C' is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.
D: An
obligation rated 'D' is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the 'D' rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such
payments will be made within five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or 30 calendar days. The 'D' rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of
similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. An obligation's rating is lowered to 'D' if it is subject to a distressed exchange offer.
Plus (+) or minus (-): The ratings from 'AA' to 'CCC' may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
NR: This
indicates that no rating has been requested, or that there is insufficient information on which to base a rating, or that S&P Global Ratings does not rate a particular obligation as a matter of policy.
Standard &
Poor's Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings
A-1: An
obligor rated 'A-1' has strong capacity to meet its financial commitments. It is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. Within this category, certain obligors are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's
capacity to meet its financial commitments is extremely strong.
A-2: An
obligor rated 'A-2' has satisfactory capacity to meet its financial commitments. However, it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligors in the highest rating
category.
A-3: An obligor rated 'A-3' has adequate capacity to meet its financial obligations. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitments.
B: An obligor 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: An
obligor rated 'C' is currently vulnerable to nonpayment that would result in an 'SD' or 'D' issuer rating and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet its financial commitments.
SD and D:
An obligor is rated 'SD' (selective default) or 'D' if S&P Global Ratings considers there to be a default on one or more of its financial obligations, whether long- or short-term, including rated and unrated obligations but excluding hybrid
instruments classified as regulatory capital or in nonpayment according to terms. A 'D' rating is assigned when S&P Global Ratings believes that the default will be a general default and that the obligor will fail to pay all or substantially all
of its obligations as they come due. An 'SD' rating is assigned when S&P Global Ratings believes that the obligor has selectively defaulted on a specific issue or class of obligations but it will continue to meet its payment obligations on other
issues or classes of obligations in a timely manner. A rating on an obligor is lowered to 'D' or 'SD' if it is conducting a distressed exchange offer.
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 opinions on a variety of scales. The most common of these are credit ratings, but the agency also publishes ratings, scores and other relative opinions relating to financial or operational strength. For example, Fitch also 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 ratings relating to
issuers are an opinion on the relative ability of an entity to meet financial commitments, such as interest, preferred dividends, repayment of principal, insurance claims or counterparty obligations. Credit ratings relating to securities and
obligations of an issuer can include a recovery expectation (please see section Specific Limitations Relating to Credit Rating Scales for details). Credit ratings are used by investors as indications of the likelihood of receiving the money owed to
them in accordance with the terms on which they invested. The agency's credit ratings cover the global spectrum of corporate, sovereign financial, bank, insurance, and public finance entities (including supranational and sub-national entities) and
the securities or other obligations they issue, as well as structured finance securities backed by receivables or other financial assets.
The terms “investment grade” and
“speculative grade” have established themselves over time as shorthand to describe the categories ‘AAA’ to ‘BBB’ (investment grade) and ‘BB’ to ‘D’ (speculative grade). 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 either signal a higher level of credit risk or that a default has already occurred.
For the convenience of investors, Fitch may
also include issues relating to a rated issuer that are not and have not been rated on its web page. Such issues are also denoted as ‘NR’.
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 and their meaning. 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. In particular, ratings do not deal with the risk of a market value loss on a rated security due to changes in interest rates, liquidity and other market considerations. However, in terms of payment obligation
on the rated liability, market risk may be considered to the extent that it influences the ability of an issuer to pay upon a commitment. Ratings nonetheless do not reflect market risk to the extent that they influence the size or other
conditionality of the obligation to pay upon a commitment (for example, in the case of index-linked bonds).
In the default components of ratings
assigned to individual obligations or instruments, the agency typically rates to the likelihood of non-payment or default in accordance with the terms of that instrument’s documentation. 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).
The primary credit rating scales can be used
to provide a rating of privately issued obligations or certain note issuance programs or for private ratings. In this case the rating is not published, but 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 more narrow 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 point-in-time typically 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. Rating Assessments are point-in-time opinions. Rating Assessments are not monitored; they are not placed on Watch or assigned an Outlook
and are not published.
Fitch Long-Term Rating Scales
Issuer Default Ratings
Rated entities in a number of sectors,
including financial and non-financial corporations, sovereigns, insurance companies and certain sectors within public finance, are generally assigned Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs). IDRs are also assigned to certain entities in global infrastructure
and project finance. IDRs opine on an entity's relative vulnerability to default on financial obligations. The threshold default risk addressed by the IDR is generally that of the financial obligations whose non-payment would best reflect the
uncured failure of that entity. As such, IDRs also address relative vulnerability to bankruptcy, administrative receivership or similar concepts.
In aggregate, IDRs provide an ordinal
ranking of issuers based on the agency's view of their relative vulnerability to default, rather than a prediction of a specific percentage likelihood of default.
AAA: Highest credit quality.
'AAA' ratings denote the lowest expectation
of default risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA: Very high credit quality.
'AA' ratings denote expectations of very low
default risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.
A: High credit quality.
'A' ratings denote expectations of low
default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.
BBB: Good credit quality.
'BBB' ratings indicate that expectations of
default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
BB: Speculative.
'BB' ratings indicate an elevated
vulnerability to default risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial flexibility exists that supports the servicing of financial commitments.
B: Highly speculative.
'B' ratings indicate that material default
risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met; however, capacity for continued payment is vulnerable to deterioration in the business and economic environment.
CCC: Substantial credit risk.
Default is a real possibility.
CC: Very high levels of credit risk.
Default of some kind appears
probable.
C: Near default
A default or default-like process has begun,
or the issuer is in standstill, or for a closed funding vehicle, payment capacity is irrevocably impaired. Conditions that are indicative of a 'C' category rating for an issuer include:
a. the issuer has entered into a grace or
cure period following non-payment of a material financial obligation;
b. the issuer has entered into a temporary
negotiated waiver or standstill agreement following a payment default on a material financial obligation; or
c. the formal announcement by the issuer or
their agent of a distressed debt exchange;
d. a closed financing vehicle where payment
capacity is irrevocably impaired such that it is not expected to pay interest and/or principal in full during the life of the transaction, but where no payment default is imminent
RD: Restricted default.
‘RD’ ratings indicate an issuer
that in Fitch’s opinion has experienced:
a. an uncured payment default or distressed
debt exchange on a bond, loan or other material financial obligation, but
b. has not entered into bankruptcy filings,
administration, receivership, liquidation, or other formal winding-up procedure, and
c. has not otherwise ceased
operating.
This would include:
i. the selective payment default on a
specific class or currency of debt;
ii. the uncured expiry of any applicable
grace period, cure period or default forbearance period following a payment default on a bank loan, capital markets security or other material financial obligation;
iii. the extension of multiple waivers or
forbearance periods upon a payment default on one or more material financial obligations, either in series or in parallel; ordinary execution of a distressed debt exchange on one or more material financial obligations.
D: Default.
'D' ratings indicate an issuer that in Fitch
Ratings' opinion has entered into bankruptcy filings, administration, receivership, liquidation or other formal winding-up procedure or which has otherwise ceased business.
Default ratings are not assigned
prospectively to entities or their obligations; within this context, non-payment on an instrument that contains a deferral feature or grace period will generally not be considered a default until after the expiration of the deferral or grace period,
unless a default is otherwise driven by bankruptcy or other similar circumstance, or by a distressed debt exchange.
In all cases, the assignment of a default
rating reflects the agency's opinion as to the most appropriate rating category consistent with the rest of its universe of ratings and may differ from the definition of default under the terms of an issuer's financial obligations or local
commercial practice.
Notes
The modifiers + or - may be appended to a
rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such suffixes are not added to the 'AAA' Long-Term IDR category, or to Long-Term IDR categories below 'B'.
Fitch
Short-Term Rating Scales
A
short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant
obligation. Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-Term Ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is viewed as "short term" based on market convention. Typically, this means up to 13 months for
corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets.
F1: Highest Short-Term Credit Quality. Indicates the strongest intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added “+” to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.
F2: Good Short-Term Credit Quality. Good intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.
F3: Fair Short-Term Credit Quality. The intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.
B: Speculative Short-Term Credit Quality. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.
C: High Short-Term Default Risk. Default is a real possibility.
RD: Restricted Default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically applicable to entity ratings only.
D: Default.
Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or the default of a short-term obligation.

APPENDIX E - PROXY POLICY AND PROCEDURES
Invesco’s Policy Statement on Global Corporate
Governance and Proxy Voting
The Adviser and each
sub-adviser rely on this policy. In addition, Invesco Advisers, Inc., Invesco Asset Management Limited, Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited, Invesco Capital Management LLC and Invesco Asset Management (India) Pvt. Ltd. have also adopted
operating guidelines and procedures for proxy voting particular to each regional investment center. Such guidelines and procedures are attached hereto.
Invesco’s Policy
Statement on Global Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting
February, 2020
I. Guiding Principles and Philosophy
Public companies hold shareholder meetings,
attended by the company’s executives, directors, and shareholders, during which important issues, such as appointments to the company’s board of directors, executive compensation, and auditors, are addressed and where applicable, voted
on. Proxy voting gives shareholders the opportunity to vote on issues that impact the company’s operations and policies without being present at the meetings.
Invesco views proxy voting as an integral
part of its investment management responsibilities and believes that the right to vote proxies should be managed with the same high standards of care and fiduciary duty to its clients as all other elements of the investment process. Invesco’s
proxy voting philosophy, governance structure and process are designed to ensure that proxy votes are cast in accordance with clients’ best interests, which Invesco interprets to mean clients’ best economic interests, this Policy and the
operating guidelines and procedures of Invesco’s regional investment centers.
Invesco investment teams vote proxies on
behalf of Invesco-sponsored funds and both fund and non-fund advisory clients that have explicitly granted Invesco authority in writing to vote proxies on their behalf.
The proxy voting process at Invesco, which
is driven by investment professionals, focuses on maximizing long-term value for our clients, protecting clients’ rights and promoting governance structures and practices that reinforce the accountability of corporate management and boards of
directors to shareholders. Invesco takes a nuanced approach to voting and, therefore, many matters to be voted upon are reviewed on a case by case basis.
Votes in favor of board or management
proposals should not be interpreted as an indication of insufficient consideration by Invesco fund managers. Such votes may reflect the outcome of past or ongoing engagement and active ownership by Invesco with representatives of the companies in
which we invest.
II. Applicability of this Policy
This Policy sets forth the framework of
Invesco’s corporate governance approach, broad philosophy and guiding principles that inform the proxy voting practices of Invesco’s investment teams around the world. Given the different nature of these teams and their respective
investment processes, as well as the significant differences in regulatory regimes and market practices across jurisdictions, not all aspects of this Policy may apply to all Invesco investment teams at all times. In the case of a conflict between
this Policy and the operating guidelines and procedures of a regional investment center the latter will control.
III. Proxy Voting for Certain Fixed Income, Money Market and
Index Strategies
For proxies held by
certain client accounts managed in accordance with fixed income, money market and index strategies (including exchange traded funds), Invesco will typically vote in line with the majority holder of the active-equity shares held by Invesco outside of
those strategies (“Majority Voting”). In this manner Invesco seeks to leverage the active-equity expertise and comprehensive proxy voting reviews conducted by teams employing active-equity strategies, which typically incorporate analysis
of proxy issues as a core component of the investment process. Portfolio managers for accounts employing Majority Voting still retain full discretion to override Majority Voting and to vote the shares as they determine to be in the best interest of
those accounts, absent certain types of conflicts of interest, which are discussed elsewhere in this Policy. When there are no corresponding active-equity shares held by Invesco, the proxies for those
strategies will be voted in the following manner: (i) for U.S. issuers, in
line with Invesco custom voting guidelines derived from the guidelines set forth below; and (ii) for non-U.S. issuers, in line with the recommendations of a third-party proxy advisory service.
IV. Conflicts of Interest
There may be occasions where voting proxies
may present a real or perceived conflict of interest between Invesco, as investment manager, and one or more of Invesco’s clients or vendors. Under Invesco’s Code of Conduct, Invesco entities and individuals are strictly prohibited from
putting personal benefit, whether tangible or intangible, before the interests of clients. “Personal benefit” includes any intended benefit for Invesco, oneself or any other individual, company, group or organization of any kind
whatsoever, except a benefit for the relevant Invesco client.
Firm-level Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest may exist if Invesco
has a material business relationship with, or is actively soliciting business from, either the company soliciting a proxy or a third party that has a material interest in the outcome of a proxy vote or that is actively lobbying for a particular
outcome of a proxy vote (e.g., issuers that are distributors of Invesco’s products, or issuers that employ Invesco to manage portions of their retirement plans or treasury accounts). Invesco’s proxy governance team maintains a list of
all such issuers for which a conflict of interest exists.
If the proposal that gives rise to the
potential conflict is specifically addressed by this Policy or the operating guidelines and procedures of the relevant regional investment center, Invesco generally will vote the proxy in accordance therewith. Otherwise, based on a majority vote of
its members, the Global IPAC (as described below) will vote the proxy.
Because this Policy and the operating
guidelines and procedures of each regional investment center are pre-determined and crafted to be in the best interest of clients, applying them to vote client proxies should, in most instances, resolve any potential conflict of interest. As an
additional safeguard, persons from Invesco’s marketing, distribution and other customer-facing functions may not serve on the Global IPAC. For the avoidance of doubt, Invesco may not consider Invesco Ltd.’s pecuniary interest when voting
proxies on behalf of clients.
Personal Conflicts of
Interest
A conflict also may exist
where an Invesco employee has a known personal relationship with other proponents of proxy proposals, participants in proxy contests, corporate directors, or candidates for directorships.
All Invesco personnel with proxy voting
responsibilities are required to report any known personal conflicts of interest regarding proxy issues with which they are involved. In such instances, the individual(s) with the conflict will be excluded from the decision-making process relating
to such issues.
Other Conflicts of Interest
To avoid any appearance of a conflict of
interest, Invesco will not vote proxies issued by, or related to matters involving, Invesco Ltd. that may be held in client accounts from time to time.1
Shares of an Invesco-sponsored fund held by other Invesco funds will be voted in the same proportion as the votes of external shareholders of the underlying fund. 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 as
required by federal securities law or any exemption therefrom. Additionally,
Invesco or its Funds may vote proportionally in other cases where required by law.
V. Use of Third-Party Proxy Advisory Services
Invesco may supplement its internal research
with information from third-parties, such as proxy advisory firms. However, Invesco generally retains full and independent discretion with respect to proxy voting decisions.
As part of its fiduciary obligation to
clients, Invesco performs extensive initial and ongoing due diligence on the proxy advisory firms it engages. This includes reviews of information regarding the capabilities of their research staffs, methodologies for formulating voting
recommendations, the adequacy and quality of staffing, personnel and technology, as applicable, and internal controls, policies and procedures, including those relating to possible conflicts of interest. In addition, Invesco regularly monitors and
communicates with these firms and monitors their compliance with Invesco’s performance and policy standards.
VI. Global Proxy Voting Platform and Administration
Guided by its philosophy that investment
teams should manage proxy voting, Invesco has created the Global Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee (“Global IPAC”). The Global IPAC is a global investments-driven committee comprised of representatives from various investment management
teams and Invesco’s Global Head of ESG. The Global IPAC provides a forum for investment teams to monitor, understand and discuss key proxy issues and voting trends within the Invesco complex. Absent a conflict of interest, the Global IPAC
representatives, in consultation with the respective investment team, are responsible for voting proxies for the securities the team manages (unless such responsibility is explicitly delegated to the portfolio managers of the securities in
question). In addition to the Global IPAC, for some clients, third parties (e.g., U.S. fund boards) provide oversight of the proxy process. The Global IPAC and Invesco’s proxy administration and governance team, compliance and legal teams
annually communicate and review this Policy and the operating guidelines and procedures of each regional investment center to ensure that they remain consistent with clients’ best interests, regulatory requirements, governance trends and
industry best practices.
Invesco
maintains a proprietary global proxy administration platform, known as the “fund manager portal” and supported by the Global Head of ESG and a dedicated team of internal proxy specialists. The platform streamlines the proxy voting and
ballot reconciliation processes, as well as related functions, such as share blocking and managing conflicts of interest issuers. Managing these processes internally, as opposed to relying on third parties, gives Invesco greater quality control,
oversight and independence in the proxy administration process.
The platform also includes advanced global
reporting and record-keeping capabilities regarding proxy matters that enable Invesco to satisfy client, regulatory and management requirements. Historical proxy voting information, including commentary by investment professionals regarding the
votes they cast, where applicable, is stored to build institutional knowledge across the Invesco complex with respect to individual companies and proxy issues. Certain investment teams also use the platform to access third-party proxy
research.
VII. Non-Votes
In the great majority of instances, Invesco
will vote proxies. However, in certain circumstances, Invesco may refrain from voting where the economic or other opportunity costs of voting exceeds any benefit to clients. Such circumstances could include, for example:
1
|
Generally speaking, Invesco
does not invest for its clients in the shares of Invesco Ltd., however, limited exceptions apply in the case of funds or accounts designed to track an index that includes Invesco Ltd. as a component.
|
•
|
If the security in question
is on loan as part of a securities lending program, Invesco may determine that the benefit to the client of voting a particular proxy is outweighed by the revenue that would be lost by terminating the loan and recalling the securities;
|
•
|
In some countries the
exercise of voting rights imposes temporary transfer restrictions on the related securities (“share blocking”). Invesco generally refrains from voting proxies in share-blocking countries unless Invesco determines that the benefit to the
client(s) of voting a specific proxy outweighs the client’s temporary inability to sell the security; or
|
•
|
Some
companies require a representative to attend meetings in person to vote a proxy. Invesco may determine that the costs of sending a representative or signing a power-of-attorney outweigh the benefit of voting a particular proxy.
|
In addition, there may be instances
in which Invesco is unable to vote all of its clients’ proxies despite using commercially reasonable efforts to do so. For example, Invesco may not receive proxy materials from the relevant fund or client custodian with sufficient time and
information to make an informed independent voting decision. In other cases, voting may not be practicable due to operational limitations. In such cases, Invesco may choose not to vote, to abstain from voting, to vote in line with management or to
vote in accordance with proxy advisor recommendations. These matters are left to the discretion of the relevant portfolio manager.
VIII. Proxy Voting Guidelines
The following guidelines describe
Invesco’s general positions on various proxy voting issues. The guidelines are not intended to be exhaustive or prescriptive. As noted above, Invesco’s proxy process is investor-driven, and each portfolio manager retains ultimate
discretion to vote proxies in the manner he or she deems most appropriate, consistent with Invesco’s proxy voting principles and philosophy discussed in Sections I. through IV. Individual proxy votes therefore will differ from these guidelines
from time to time.
Invesco generally
affords management discretion with respect to the operation of a company’s business and will generally support a board’s discretion on proposals relating to ordinary business practices and routine matters, unless there is insufficient
information to decide about the nature of the proposal.
Invesco generally abstains from voting on or
opposes proposals that are “bundled” or made contingent on each other (e.g., proposals to elect directors and approve compensation plans) where there is insufficient information to decide about the nature of the proposals.
A. Shareholder Access and Treatment of Shareholder Proposals
– General
Invesco reviews on a
case by case basis but generally votes in favor of proposals that would increase shareholders’ opportunities to express their views to boards of directors, proposals that would lower barriers to shareholder action, and proposals to promote the
adoption of generally accepted best practices in corporate governance, provided that such proposals would not require a disproportionate amount of management attention or corporate resources or otherwise that may inappropriately disrupt the
company’s business and main purpose, usually set out in their reporting disclosures and business model. Likewise, Invesco reviews on a case by case basis but generally votes for shareholder proposals that are designed to protect shareholder
rights if a company’s corporate governance standards indicate that such additional protections are warranted (for example, where minority shareholders’ rights are not adequately protected).
B. Environmental, Social and Corporate Responsibility
Issues
Invesco believes that a
company’s long-term response to environmental, social and corporate responsibility issues can significantly affect long-term shareholder value. We recognize that to manage a corporation effectively, directors and management may consider not
only the interests of shareholders, but also the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, creditors and the local community, among others. While Invesco generally affords management discretion with respect to the operation of a company’s
business, Invesco generally will evaluate proposals relating to environmental, social and corporate responsibility issues on a case by case basis and will vote on those proposals in a manner intended to
maximize long-term shareholder value. Invesco may choose, however, to abstain
on voting on proposals relating to environmental, social and corporate responsibility issues.
Invesco reviews on a case by case basis but
generally supports the following proposals relating to these issues:
•
|
Gender pay gap proposals
|
•
|
Political contributions
disclosure/political lobbying disclosure/political activities and action
|
•
|
Data security, privacy, and
internet issues
|
•
|
Report on climate
change/climate change action
|
•
|
Gender
diversity on boards
|
C. Capitalization
Structure Issues
i. Stock Issuances
Invesco generally supports a board’s
proposal to issue additional capital stock to meet ongoing corporate needs, except where the request could adversely affect Invesco clients’ ownership stakes or voting rights. Some capitalization proposals, such as those to authorize common or
preferred stock with special voting rights or to issue additional stock in connection with an acquisition, may require additional analysis. Invesco generally opposes proposals to issue additional stock without preemptive rights, as those issuances
do not permit shareholders to share proportionately in any new issues of stock of the same class. Invesco generally opposes proposals to authorize classes of preferred stock with unspecified voting, conversion, dividend or other rights (“blank
check” stock) when they appear to be intended as an anti-takeover mechanism; such issuances may be supported when used for general financing purposes.
ii. Stock Splits
Invesco generally supports a board’s
proposal to increase common share authorization for a stock split, provided that the increase in authorized shares would not result in excessive dilution given the company’s industry and performance in terms of shareholder returns.
iii. Share Repurchases
Invesco generally supports a board’s
proposal to institute open-market share repurchase plans only if all shareholders participate on an equal basis.
D. Corporate Governance Issues
i.
General
Invesco reviews on a case by case basis but
generally supports the following proposals related to governance matters:
•
|
Adopt proxy access right
|
•
|
Require independent board
chairperson
|
•
|
Provide right to
shareholders to call special meetings
|
•
|
Provide right to act by
written consent
|
•
|
Submit shareholder rights
plan (poison pill) to shareholder vote
|
•
|
Reduce supermajority vote
requirement
|
•
|
Remove antitakeover
provisions
|
•
|
Declassify the board of
directors
|
•
|
Require a
majority vote for election of directors
|
•
|
Require majority of
independent directors on the board
|
•
|
Approve executive
appointment
|
•
|
Adopt
exclusive forum provision
|
Invesco generally supports a board’s
discretion to amend a company’s articles concerning routine matters, such as formalities relating to shareholder meetings. Invesco generally opposes non-routine amendments to a company’s articles if any of the proposed amendments would
limit shareholders’ rights or there is insufficient information to decide about the nature of the proposal.
ii. Board of Directors
1. Director Nominees in Uncontested Elections
Subject to the other considerations
described below, in an uncontested director election for a company without a controlling shareholder, Invesco generally votes in favor of the director slate if it is comprised of at least a majority of independent directors and if the board’s
key committees are fully independent, effective and balanced. Key committees include the audit, compensation/remuneration and governance/nominating committees. Invesco’s standard of independence excludes directors who, in addition to the
directorship, have any material business or family relationships with the companies they serve.
2. Director Nominees in Contested Elections
Invesco recognizes that short-term
investment sentiments influence the corporate governance landscape and may influence companies in Invesco clients’ portfolios and more broadly across the market. Invesco recognizes that short-term investment sentiment may conflict with
long-term value creation and as such looks at each proxy contest matter on a case by case basis, considering factors such as:
•
|
Long-term financial
performance of the company relative to its industry
|
•
|
Management’s track
record
|
•
|
Background to the proxy
contest
|
•
|
Qualifications of director
nominees (both slates)
|
•
|
Evaluation of what each side
is offering shareholders as well as the likelihood that the proposed objectives and goals can be met
|
•
|
Stock
ownership positions in the company
|
3. Director Accountability
Invesco generally withholds votes from
directors who exhibit a lack of accountability to shareholders. Examples include, without limitation, poor attendance (less than 75%, absent extenuating circumstances) at meetings, director “overboarding” (as described below), failing to
implement shareholder proposals that have received a majority of votes and/or by adopting or approving egregious corporate-governance or other policies. In cases of material financial restatements, accounting fraud, habitually late filings, adopting
shareholder rights plan (“poison pills”) without shareholder approval, or other areas of poor performance, Invesco may withhold votes from some or all of a company’s directors. Invesco generally supports shareholder proposals
relating to the competence of directors that are in the best interest of the company’s performance and the interest of its shareholders. In situations where directors’ performance is a concern, Invesco may also support shareholder
proposals to take corrective actions such as so-called “clawback” provisions.
Invesco generally withholds votes from
directors who serve on an excessive number of boards of directors (“overboarding”). Examples of overboarding may include when (i) a non-executive director is sitting on more than six public company boards, and (ii) a CEO is sitting on
the board of more than two public companies besides the CEO’s own company, excluding the boards of majority-owned subsidiaries of the parent company.
4. Director Independence
Invesco generally supports proposals to
require a majority of directors to be independent unless particular circumstances make this not feasible or in the best interests of shareholders. We generally vote for proposals that would require the board’s audit, compensation/remuneration,
and/or governance/nominating committees to be composed exclusively of independent directors because this minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest.
5. 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
a board’s discretion regarding proposals to limit directors’ liability and provide indemnification and/or exculpation, provided that the arrangements are limited to the director acting honestly and in good faith with a view to the best
interests of the company and, in criminal matters, are limited to the director having reasonable grounds for believing the conduct was lawful.
6. Separate Chairperson and CEO
Invesco evaluates these proposals on a case
by case basis, recognizing that good governance requires either an independent chair or a qualified, proactive, and lead independent director.
Voting decisions may consider, among other
factors, the presence or absence of:
•
|
a designated lead director,
appointed from the ranks of the independent board members, with an established term of office and clearly delineated powers and duties
|
•
|
a majority of independent
directors
|
•
|
completely independent key
committees
|
•
|
committee chairpersons
nominated by the independent directors
|
•
|
CEO performance reviewed
annually by a committee of independent directors
|
•
|
established
governance guidelines
|
7.
Majority/Supermajority/Cumulative Voting for Directors
The right to elect directors is the single
most important mechanism shareholders have to promote accountability. Invesco generally votes in favor of proposals to elect directors by a majority vote. Except in cases where required by law in the jurisdiction of incorporation or when a company
has adopted formal governance principles that present a meaningful alternative to the majority voting standard, Invesco generally votes against actions that would impose any supermajority voting requirement, and generally supports actions to
dismantle existing supermajority requirements.
The practice of cumulative voting can enable
minority shareholders to have representation on a company’s board. Invesco generally opposes such proposals as unnecessary where the company has adopted a majority voting standard. However, Invesco generally supports proposals to institute the
practice of cumulative voting at companies whose overall corporate-governance standards indicate a particular need to protect the interests of minority shareholders.
8. Staggered Boards/Annual Election of Directors
Invesco generally supports proposals to
elect each director annually rather than electing directors to staggered multi-year terms because annual elections increase a board’s level of accountability to its shareholders.
9. Board Size
Invesco believes that the number of
directors is an important factor to consider when evaluating the board’s ability to maximize long-term shareholder value. Invesco approaches proxies relating to board size on a case by case basis but generally will defer to the board with
respect to determining the optimal number of board members, provided that the proposed board size is sufficiently large to represent shareholder interests and sufficiently limited to remain effective.
10. Director Term Limits and Retirement Age
Invesco believes it is important for a board
of directors to examine its membership regularly with a view to ensuring that the company continues to benefit from a diversity of director viewpoints and experience. 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.
iii. Audit Committees and Auditors
1. Qualifications of Audit Committee and Auditors
Invesco believes a company’s Audit
Committee has a high degree of responsibility to shareholders in matters of financial disclosure, integrity of the financial statements and effectiveness of a company’s internal controls. Independence, experience and financial expertise are
critical elements of a well-functioning Audit Committee. When electing directors who are members of a company’s Audit Committee, or when ratifying a company’s auditors, Invesco considers the past performance of the Audit Committee and
holds its members accountable for the quality of the company’s financial statements and reports.
2. Auditor Indemnifications
A company’s independent auditors play
a critical role in ensuring and attesting to the integrity of the company’s financial statements. It is therefore essential that they perform their work in accordance with the highest standards. Invesco generally opposes proposals that would
limit the liability of or indemnify auditors because doing so could serve to undermine this obligation.
3. Adequate Disclosure of Auditor Fees
Understanding the fees earned by the
auditors is important for assessing auditor independence. Invesco’s support for the re-appointment of the auditors will take into consideration the availability of adequate disclosure concerning the amount and nature of audit versus non-audit
fees. Invesco generally will support proposals that call for this disclosure if it is not already being made.
E. Remuneration and Incentives
Invesco believes properly constructed
compensation plans that include equity ownership are effective in creating incentives that induce management and employees of portfolio companies to create greater shareholder wealth. 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, and plans that appear likely
to reduce the value of the client’s investment.
i.
Independent Compensation/Remuneration Committee
Invesco believes that an independent,
experienced and well-informed compensation/remuneration committee is critical to ensuring that a company’s remuneration practices align with shareholders’ interests and, therefore, generally supports proposals calling for a
compensation/remuneration committee to be comprised solely of independent directors.
ii. Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation
Invesco believes that an independent
compensation/remuneration committee of the board, with input from management, is generally best positioned to determine the appropriate components and levels of executive compensation, as well as the appropriate frequency of related shareholder
advisory votes. This is particularly the case where shareholders can express their views on remuneration matters through annual votes for or against the election of the individual directors who comprise the compensation/remuneration committee.
Invesco, therefore, generally will support management’s recommendations regarding the components and levels of executive compensation and the frequency of shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation. However, Invesco will vote against
such recommendations where Invesco determines that a company’s executive remuneration policies are not properly aligned with shareholder interests or may create inappropriate incentives for management.
iii. Equity Based Compensation Plans
Invesco generally votes against plans that
contain structural features that would impair the alignment of incentives between shareholders and management. Such features include, without limitation, the ability to reprice or reload options without shareholder approval, the ability to issue
options below the stock’s current market price, or the ability to replenish shares automatically without shareholder approval.
iv. 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. Invesco generally votes in favor of proposals requiring advisory shareholder ratification of senior executives’ severance agreements while generally opposing
proposals that require such agreements to be ratified by shareholders in advance of their adoption.
v.
“Claw Back” Provisions
Invesco generally supports so called
“claw back” policies intended to recoup remuneration paid to senior executives based upon materially inaccurate financial reporting (as evidenced by later restatements) or fraudulent accounting or business practices.
vi. Employee Stock Purchase Plans
Invesco generally supports employee stock
purchase plans that are reasonably designed to provide proper incentives to a broad base of employees, provided that the price at which employees may acquire stock represents a reasonable discount from the market price.
F. Anti-Takeover Defenses
Measures designed to protect a company from
unsolicited bids can adversely affect shareholder value and voting rights, and they have the potential to create conflicts of interests among directors, management and shareholders. Such measures include adopting or renewing shareholder rights plans
(“poison pills”), requiring supermajority voting on certain corporate actions, classifying the election of directors instead of electing each director to an annual term, or creating separate classes of common or preferred stock with
special voting rights. In determining whether to support a proposal to add, eliminate or restrict anti-takeover measures, Invesco will examine the elements of the proposal to assess the degree to which it would adversely affect shareholder rights of
adopted. Invesco generally supports shareholder proposals directing companies to subject their anti-takeover provisions to a shareholder vote, as well as the following proposals:
•
|
Provide right to act by
written consent
|
•
|
Provide right to call
special meetings
|
•
|
Adopt fair price provision
|
•
|
Approve
control share acquisition
|
Invesco generally opposes payments by
companies to minority shareholders intended to dissuade such shareholders from pursuing a takeover or another change (sometimes known as “greenmail”) because these payments result in preferential treatment of some shareholders over
others.
Companies occasionally require
shareholder approval to engage in certain corporate actions or transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, name changes, dissolutions, reorganizations, divestitures and reincorporations. Invesco generally determines its votes for these types of
corporate actions after a careful evaluation of the proposal. Generally, Invesco will support proposals to approve different types of restructurings that provide the necessary financing to save the company from involuntary bankruptcy. However,
Invesco will generally oppose proposals to change a company’s corporate form or to “go dark” (i.e., going private transactions) without shareholder approval.
Reincorporation involves re-establishing the
company in a different legal jurisdiction. Invesco generally will vote for proposals to reincorporate a company if the board and management have demonstrated sound financial or business reasons for the move. Invesco generally will oppose proposals
to reincorporate if they are solely part of an anti-takeover defense or intended to limit directors’ liability.
Invesco will generally support proposals
that ask the board to consider non‐shareholder constituencies or other non‐financial effects when evaluating a merger or business combination.

PROXY VOTING OVERSIGHT: THE
MUTUAL FUNDS’ BOARD OF TRUSTEES

In addition to the Global Invesco Proxy
Advisory Committee, the Invesco mutual funds’ board of trustees provides oversight of the proxy process through quarterly reporting and an annual in-person presentation by Invesco’s Global Head of Proxy Governance and Responsible
Investment.

USE OF THIRD PARTY PROXY
ADVISORY SERVICES
|
Invesco has direct access to third-party
proxy advisory analyses and recommendations (currently provided by Glass Lewis (“GL”) and Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”)), among other research tools, and uses the information gleaned from those sources to
make independent voting decisions.
Invesco’s proxy administration team
performs extensive initial and ongoing due diligence on the proxy advisory firms that it engages. When deemed appropriate, representatives from the proxy advisory firms are asked to deliver updates directly to the mutual funds’ board of
trustees. Invesco conducts semi-annual, in-person policy roundtables with key heads of research from ISS and GL to ensure transparency, dialogue and engagement with the firms. These meetings provide Invesco with an opportunity to assess the
firms’ capabilities, conflicts of interest and service levels, as well as provide investment professionals with direct insight into the advisory firms’ stances on key governance and proxy topics and their policy framework/methodologies.
Invesco’s proxy administration team also reviews the annual SSAE 16 reports for, and the periodic proxy guideline updates published by, each proxy advisory firm to ensure that their guidelines remain consistent with Invesco’s policies
and procedures. Furthermore, each proxy advisory firm completes an annual due diligence questionnaire submitted by Invesco, and Invesco conducts on-site due diligence at each firm, in part to discuss their responses to the questionnaire.
If Invesco becomes aware of any material
inaccuracies in the information provided by ISS or GL, Invesco’s proxy administration team will investigate the matter to determine the cause, evaluate the
adequacy of the proxy advisory firm’s control structure and assess the
efficacy of the measures instituted to prevent further errors.
ISS and GL provide updates to previously
issued proxy reports when necessary to incorporate newly available information or to correct factual errors. ISS also has a Feedback Review Board, which provides a mechanism for stakeholders to communicate with ISS about issues related to proxy
voting and policy formulation, research, and the accuracy of data contained in ISS reports.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES
|
The following
guidelines describe Invesco’s general positions on various common proxy issues. The guidelines are not intended to be exhaustive or prescriptive. Invesco’s proxy process is investor-driven, and each portfolio manager retains ultimate
discretion to vote proxies in the manner that he or she deems to be the most appropriate, consistent with the proxy voting principles and philosophy discussed in the Invesco Global Proxy Policy. Individual proxy votes therefore will differ from
these guidelines from time to time.
Management teams
of companies are accountable to the boards of directors and directors of publicly held companies are accountable to shareholders. Invesco endeavors to vote the proxies of companies in a manner that will reinforce the notion of a board’s
accountability. Consequently, Invesco generally votes against any actions that would impair the rights of shareholders or would reduce shareholders’ influence over the board.
The following are specific voting issues
that illustrate how Invesco applies this principle of accountability.
Elections of directors
In uncontested director elections for
companies that do not have a controlling shareholder, Invesco generally votes in favor of slates if they are comprised of at least a majority of independent directors and if the boards’ key committees are fully independent. Key committees
include the audit, compensation and governance or nominating Committees. Invesco’s standard of independence excludes directors who, in addition to the directorship, have any material business or family relationships with the companies they
serve. Contested director elections are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Director performance
Invesco generally withholds votes from
directors who exhibit a lack of accountability to shareholders, either through their level of attendance at meetings or by adopting or approving egregious corporate-governance or other policies. In cases of material financial restatements,
accounting fraud, habitually late filings, adopting shareholder rights plan (“poison pills”) without shareholder approval, or other areas of poor performance, Invesco may withhold votes from some or all of a company’s directors. In
situations where directors’ performance is a concern, Invesco may also support shareholder proposals to take corrective actions, such as so-called “clawback” provisions.
Auditors and Audit Committee members
Invesco believes a company’s audit
committee has a high degree of responsibility to shareholders in matters of financial disclosure, integrity of the financial statements and effectiveness of a company’s internal controls.
Independence, experience and financial
expertise are critical elements of a well-functioning audit committee. When electing directors who are members of a company’s audit committee, or when ratifying a company’s auditors, Invesco considers the past performance of the
committee and holds its members accountable for the quality of the company’s financial statements and reports.
Majority standard in director elections
The right to elect directors is the single
most important mechanism shareholders have to promote accountability. Invesco supports the nascent effort to reform the U.S. convention of electing directors, and generally votes in favor of proposals to elect directors by a majority vote.
Staggered Boards/Annual Election of
Directors
Invesco generally supports
proposals to elect each director annually rather than electing directors to staggered multi-year terms because annual elections increase a board’s level of accountability to its shareholders.
Supermajority voting requirements
Unless required by law in the state of
incorporation, Invesco generally votes against actions that would impose any supermajority voting requirement, and generally supports actions to dismantle existing supermajority requirements.
Responsiveness of Directors
Invesco generally withholds votes for
directors who do not adequately respond to shareholder proposals that were approved by a majority of votes cast the prior year.
Cumulative voting
The practice of cumulative voting can enable
minority shareholders to have representation on a company’s board. Invesco generally supports proposals to institute the practice of cumulative voting at companies whose overall corporate-governance standards indicate a particular need to
protect the interests of minority shareholders.
Proxy access
Invesco generally supports
shareholders’ nominations of directors in the proxy statement and ballot because it increases the accountability of the board to shareholders. Invesco will generally consider the proposed minimum period of ownership (e.g., three years),
minimum ownership percentage (e.g., three percent), limitations on a proponent’s ability to aggregate holdings with other shareholders and the maximum percentage of directors who can be nominated when determining how to vote on proxy access
proposals.
Shareholder access
On business matters with potential financial
consequences, Invesco generally votes in favor of proposals that would increase shareholders’ opportunities to express their views to boards of directors, proposals that would lower barriers to shareholder action and proposals to promote the
adoption of generally accepted best practices in corporate governance. Furthermore, Invesco generally votes for shareholder proposals that are designed to protect shareholder rights if a company’s corporate governance standards indicate that
such additional protections are warranted.
Exclusive Forum
Invesco generally supports proposals that
would designate a specific jurisdiction in company bylaws as the exclusive venue for certain types of shareholder lawsuits in order to reduce costs arising out of multijurisdictional litigation.
II.
|
Compensation and Incentives
|
Invesco believes
properly constructed compensation plans that include equity ownership are effective in creating incentives that induce management and employees of companies to create greater shareholder wealth. 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, and plans that
appear likely to reduce the value of the Client’s investment.
Following are specific voting issues that
illustrate how Invesco evaluates incentive plans.
Executive compensation
Invesco evaluates executive compensation
plans within the context of the company’s performance under the executives’ tenure. Invesco believes independent compensation committees are best positioned to craft
executive-compensation plans that are
suitable for their company-specific circumstances. Invesco views the election of independent compensation committee members as the appropriate mechanism for shareholders to express their approval or disapproval of a company’s compensation
practices. Therefore, Invesco generally does not support shareholder proposals to limit or eliminate certain forms of executive compensation. In the interest of reinforcing the notion of a compensation committee’s accountability to
shareholders, Invesco generally supports proposals requesting that companies subject each year’s compensation record to an advisory shareholder vote, or so-called “say on pay” proposals.
Equity-based compensation plans
Invesco generally votes against plans that
contain structural features that would impair the alignment of incentives between shareholders and management. Such features include the ability to reprice or reload options without shareholder approval, the ability to issue options below the
stock’s current market price, or the ability automatically to replenish shares without shareholder approval.
Employee stock-purchase plans
Invesco generally supports employee
stock-purchase plans that are reasonably designed to provide proper incentives to a broad base of employees, provided that the price at which employees may acquire stock is at most a 15 percent discount from the market price.
Severance agreements
Invesco generally votes in favor of
proposals requiring advisory shareholder ratification of executives’ severance agreements. However, Invesco generally opposes proposals requiring such agreements to be ratified by shareholders in advance of their adoption. Given the vast
differences that may occur in these agreements, some severance agreements are evaluated on an individual basis.
Examples of
management proposals related to a company’s capital structure include authorizing or issuing additional equity capital, repurchasing outstanding stock, or enacting a stock split or reverse stock split. On requests for additional capital stock,
Invesco analyzes the company’s stated reasons for the request. Except where the request could adversely affect the Client’s ownership stake or voting rights, Invesco generally supports a board’s decisions on its needs for
additional capital stock. Some capitalization proposals require a case-by-case analysis. Examples of such proposals include authorizing common or preferred stock with special voting rights, or issuing additional stock in connection with an
acquisition.
IV.
|
Mergers, Acquisitions and
Other Corporate Actions
|
Issuers occasionally require shareholder
approval to engage in certain corporate actions such as mergers, acquisitions, name changes, dissolutions, reorganizations, divestitures and reincorporations and the votes for these types of corporate actions are generally determined on a
case-by-case basis.
V.
|
Anti-Takeover Measures
|
Practices designed
to protect a company from unsolicited bids can adversely affect shareholder value and voting rights, and they potentially create conflicts of interests among directors, management and shareholders. Except under special issuer-specific circumstances,
Invesco generally votes to reduce or eliminate such measures. These measures include adopting or renewing “poison pills”, requiring supermajority voting on certain corporate actions, classifying the election of directors instead of
electing each director to an annual term, or creating separate classes of common or preferred stock with special voting rights. Invesco generally votes against management proposals to impose these types of measures, and generally votes for
shareholder proposals designed to reduce such measures. Invesco generally supports shareholder proposals directing companies to subject their anti-takeover provisions to a shareholder vote.
VI.
|
Environmental, Social and
Corporate Responsibility Issues
|
Invesco believes that a company’s
response to environmental, social and corporate responsibility issues and the risks attendant to them can have a significant effect on its long-term shareholder value. Invesco recognizes that to manage a corporation effectively, directors and
management must consider not only the interest of shareholders, but also the interests of employees, customers, suppliers and creditors, among others. While Invesco generally affords management discretion with respect to the operation of a
company’s business, Invesco will evaluate such proposals on a case-by-case basis and will vote proposals relating to these issues in a manner intended to maximize long-term shareholder value.
VII.
|
Routine Business Matters
|
Routine business
matters rarely have the potential to have a material effect on the economic prospects of Clients’ holdings, so Invesco generally supports a board’s discretion on these items. However, Invesco generally votes against proposals where there
is insufficient information to make a decision about the nature of the proposal. Similarly, Invesco generally votes against proposals to conduct other unidentified business at shareholder meetings.
E.
|
EXCEPTIONS
|
|
Client
Maintains Right to Vote Proxies
|
In the case of institutional or sub-advised
Clients, Invesco will vote the proxies in accordance with these guidelines and the Invesco Global Proxy Policy, unless the Client retains in writing the right to vote or the named fiduciary of a Client (e.g., the plan sponsor of an ERISA Client)
retains in writing the right to direct the plan trustee or a third party to vote proxies.
Voting for Certain Investment
Strategies
For cash sweep investment
vehicles selected by a Client but for which Invesco has proxy voting authority over the account and where no other Client holds the same securities, Invesco will vote proxies based on ISS recommendations.
Funds of Funds
Some Invesco Funds offering diversified
asset allocation within one investment vehicle own shares in other Invesco Funds. A potential conflict of interest could arise if an underlying Invesco Fund has a shareholder meeting with any proxy issues to be voted on, because Invesco’s
asset-allocation funds or target-maturity funds may be large shareholders of the underlying fund. In order to avoid any potential for a conflict, the asset- allocation funds and target maturity funds vote their shares in the same proportion as the
votes of the external shareholders of the underlying fund.

POLICIES AND VOTE DISCLOSURE
|
A copy of these
guidelines, the Invesco Global Proxy Policy and the voting record of each Invesco Retail Fund are available on Invesco’s web site, www.invesco.com. In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, all Invesco Funds file a
record of all proxy-voting activity for the prior 12 months ending June 30th. That filing is made on or before August 31st of each year. 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.

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

Proxy Voting Guidelines
for
Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited
Basic Policy on Proxy Voting
We vote proxies for the purpose of seeking
to maximize the interests of our clients (investors) and beneficiaries over time, 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 is to expand the corporate value or the economic interest of shareholders or the preventing of damage
thereto. . Proxy voting is an integral part of our stewardship activities and we make voting decisions considering whether or not the proposal would contribute to the corporate value expansion and sustainable growth.
In order to vote proxies adequately we have
established the Responsible Investment Committee and developed these Proxy Voting Guidelines to oversee control of the decision making process concerning 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 our proxy voting guidelines, taking into account whether or not they contribute to shareholder value enhancement of the subject company.
Responsible proxy voting and constructive
dialogue with investee companies are important components of stewardship activities. While the proxy voting guidelines are principles for our making voting decisions, depending on the proposals, we may make special decisions to maximize the
interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries, through the establishment of constructive dialogue with the investee companies. In such case, approval of the Responsible Investment Committee shall be obtained.
The Responsible Investment Committee is
consisted of members including Director in charge of the Investment Division as the chair, Head of Compliance, Responsible Investment Officer, investment professionals nominated by the chair and persons in charge at the Client Reporting
Department.
We have developed the
Conflict of Interest Control Policy and, even in the situation where any conflict of interest is likely to arise, we work to control conflict of interest to protect the interests of clients (investors) and beneficiaries. The Compliance Department is
responsible for overseeing company-wide control of conflict of interest. The Compliance Department is independent from investment and marketing divisions, and shall not receive any command or order with respect to the matters concerning compliance
with the laws and regulations including the matters concerning conflict of interest from investment and marketing divisions.
Proxy Voting Guidelines
1. Profit Allocation
and Dividends
We decide how to
vote on the proposals seeking approval for profit allocation and dividends, taking into account the financial conditions and business performance of the subject company, and the economic interest of shareholders, etc.
•
|
Taking into account the
status of capital adequacy and business strategies, etc. of the subject company, if the total payout ratio including dividends and share buybacks is significantly low, we consider to vote against the proposals, unless reasonable explanation is given
by the company.
|
With respect to the company where profit
allocation is determined by the board of directors, taking into account the status of capital adequacy and business strategies, etc. of the subject company, if the total payout ratio including dividends and share buybacks is significantly low, we
consider to vote against reelection of directors, unless reasonable explanation is given by the company.
•
|
Taking into account the
status of capital adequacy and business strategies, etc. of the subject company, if the total payout ratio including dividends and share buybacks is significantly low, we consider to vote for the shareholder proposals that require more payout to
shareholders.
|
2. Election of
Directors
We decide how to vote
on the proposals concerning election of directors, taking into account independence, competence and existence of anti-social acts of director candidates, etc. We decide how to vote on reelection of director candidates, taking into account their
approach to corporate governance and accountability during their tenure, business performance of the company and existence of anti-social acts of the company, etc. in addition to the above factors.
Directors should make efforts to
continuously gain knowledge and skills from time to time to fulfill the important role and responsibilities in governance of the subject company. Companies are also required to provide sufficient opportunities of such training.
Independent outside directors are expected
to play a significant role such as to secure the interest of minority shareholders through activities based on their insights to increase the corporate value of the subject company. It is desirable to enhance the board's governance function with
independent outside directors accounting for the majority of the board. However, given the challenge to secure competent candidates, we also recognize that, under the current conditions, it is difficult for all the companies, irrespective of their
size, to deploy a majority of the board with independent outside directors.
•
|
We generally vote for
election of outside directors; provided, however, that we generally vote against the candidate who is not regarded as independent from the subject company. With respect to independence, it is desirable that the subject company discloses numerical
standard which should support our decision.
|
•
|
We view following candidates
for outside directors are not enough independent;
|
•
|
Candidates who
have been working for following companies during the last 10 years or relatives of those people.
|
•
|
The subject company
|
•
|
Subsidiary of the subject
company
|
•
|
Parent of
the subject company
|
•
|
Candidates who have been
working for following companies during the last five years or relatives of those people.
|
•
|
Shareholders who own more
than 10% of the subject company
|
•
|
Principal loan lender
|
•
|
Principal securities broker
|
•
|
Major business relationship
|
•
|
Auditor of the subject
company
|
•
|
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
|
•
|
We further scrutinize the
independence of candidates who are regarded as not independent enough, even though those are not categorized the case listed above.
|
•
|
We
carefully consider the independence of the candidates who are regarded as being in the cross-share-holding relationship, or the relationship in which companies are sending outside directors each other. We expect that the company should disclose the
detail information related
|
|
to the independence of those
candidates reasonably, to enable investors to understand those relationships enough, both in terms of the disclosure timing and method.
|
•
|
We judge independence based
on the independence criteria stipulated by the stock exchange, with focus on whether independence is substantially secured. We consider each company’s business surroundings and make best effort to have constructive dialogue with the subject
company to understand the independence of the candidates.
|
•
|
We regard the outside
director with significantly long tenure as non-independent, and vote against reelection of such outside director. We generally consider voting against the candidate whose tenure is longer than 10 years.
|
•
|
In the
case where the subject company is the company with a board with audit committee structure, we judge independence of outside director candidates who become members of the audit committee based on the same independence criteria for election of
statutory auditors in principle.
|
•
|
In the case where the
subject company is the company with a three committee board structure or the company with a board with audit committee structure, we generally consider to vote against the director candidates who are top executives of the subject company, if
independent outside directors of the subject company account for less than 1/3 of the board after the shareholders meeting.
|
•
|
In the case where the
subject company is the company with a statutory auditor structure, we generally vote against the director candidates who are top executives, unless there are at least two outside directors who are independent from the subject company after the
shareholders meeting.
|
•
|
In the
case where the subject company has a parent company, we generally consider voting against the director candidates who are top executives of the subject company, if outside directors who are independent from the subject company account for less than
half of the board after the shareholders meeting.
|
(2)
|
Attendance rate and concurrent
duties
|
•
|
All members are expected to
attend the board meetings and each committee in principle, and companies are generally obligated to facilitate all members to attend meetings. We generally vote against reelection of the director candidate who attended less than 75% of the board
meetings or the respective committee.
|
•
|
We take into account not
only the number of attendance but reasons for nomination and substantial contribution, if disclosed.
|
•
|
We
carefully consider the quality of the candidates who have many concurrent duties as outside directors or outside auditors of listed companies, given that outside directors/auditors are expected to make an important contribution to the board
discussion. The company which nominates the candidates who have many concurrent duties should explain the reasonable background and eligibility for such nomination and make best effort to enable investors to understand them enough, both in terms of
the disclosure timing and method.
|
(3)
|
Business performance of the
company
|
•
|
We consider voting against
reelection of director candidates, if the subject company made a loss for the three-consecutive year during their tenure.
|
•
|
We consider voting against
reelection of director candidates, if it is judged that the business performance of the subject company is significantly behind peers in the same industry during their tenure.
|
•
|
We
consider voting against the directors who are top executives, if business strategies that enable
|
|
the corporate value
enhancement and sustainable growth are not demonstrated and no constructive dialogue is conducted, with respect to capital efficiency including return on capital.
|
(4)
|
Anti-social acts of the
company
|
•
|
If it is judged that there
has been any corporate scandal that has significant social effects and has impaired, or is likely to impair, the shareholder value during the tenure, we shall conduct sufficient dialogue with the subject company on the background and subsequent
resolutions of the scandal. Based on the dialogue and taking into account impact on the shareholder value, we decide how to vote on reelection of the director candidates who are top executives, directors in charge of those cases and members of the
audit committee or the similar committee.
|
•
|
With respect to domestic
scandals, if the company has received administrative disposition on cartel or bid-rigging, we consider voting against reelection of the director candidates who are top executives, directors in charge and members of the audit committee or the similar
committee, at the time when the disposition is determined by the Fair Trade Commission, etc. If the final disposition is subsequently determined on appeal or complaint, we do not vote against reelection again at such time. We decide case-by-case
with respect to an order for compensation in a civil case or disposition by the Consumer Affairs Agency and administrative disposition imposed overseas.
|
•
|
With respect to
administrative disposition imposed on a subsidiary or affiliate, if the subsidiary or affiliate is unlisted, we consider voting against reelection of the director candidates who are top executives, directors in charge and members of the audit
committee or the similar committee of the holding company or the parent company. If the subsidiary or affiliate is listed, we consider to vote against reelection of the director candidates who are top executives, directors in charge and members of
the audit committee or the similar committee of the subsidiary or affiliate and the parent company; provided, however, that we decide case-by-case depending on importance of the disposition on the subsidiary or affiliate, its impact on business
performance of the holding company or parent company.
|
•
|
With
respect to a scandal of an individual employee, if such scandal has impaired, or is likely to impair the shareholder value, and it is judged that the subject company should assume responsibility as a manager, we consider to vote against reelection
of the director candidates who are top executives, directors in charge and members of the audit committee or the similar committee.
|
•
|
We consider voting against
reelection of director candidates, if the subject company has committed window-dressing and inadequate accounting activities during their tenure.
|
(5)
|
Acts against the interest of
shareholders
|
•
|
If the company has increased
capital through a third-party allotment that is excessively dilutive without resolution by the shareholders meeting, we consider to vote against reelection of director candidates, particularly the director candidates who are top executives.
|
•
|
If the company has increased
capital through a large-scale public offering without reasonable explanation, we consider voting against reelection of director candidates, particularly the director candidates who are top executives.
|
•
|
If the
shareholder proposal that is judged desirable for minority shareholders has received the majority support, but the company does not implement such proposal or make the similar proposal as the company proposal at the shareholders meeting in the
following year, we consider voting against the director candidates who are top executives.
|
•
|
If information of a director
candidate is not fully disclosed, we generally vote against such director candidate.
|
3. Composition of Board
of Directors, etc.
Depending on
the size of companies, etc., we believe that a three-committee board structure is desirable to achieve better governance as a listed company. Even for a company with a statutory auditor structure or a company with a board with audit committee, it is
also desirable to voluntarily deploy the nomination committee, compensation committee and other necessary committees. It is also desirable that the chair of the board of directors is an independent outside director. We believe that composition of
the highly transparent board of directors secures transparency of the management and contributes to a persistent increase in the enterprise value. It is also desirable that the third-party assessment of the board of directors is disclosed.
We are concerned about the retired director
assuming a consulting, advisory or other similar position which is likely to have negative impact on greater transparency and decision making of the board of directors. If such position or a person assuming such position exists, it is desirable that
its existence, expected role and effects or compensation and other treatment for such position are fully disclosed.
(1)
|
Number of members and change
in constituents of the board of directors
|
•
|
We decide how to vote on the
proposals concerning the number of members and change in constituents of the board of directors, by comparing with the current structure and taking into account impact on the subject company and the economic interest of shareholders.
|
•
|
Number of the board member
should be well optimized to make the right management decision at the right timing. We may take into consideration each company’s business situation and business scale; however we generally consider to vote against the director candidates who
are top executives, in the case that the number of board member exceeds 20 and is not decreased from the previous shareholder’s meeting and also the reason for such case is not enough disclosed and reasonably explained.
|
•
|
We
generally vote against the director candidates who are top executives in the case that the percentage of outside directors declines substantially through the decrease of outside directors or the increase of internal directors.
|
(2)
|
Procedures for election of
directors, scope of responsibilities of directors, etc.
|
•
|
We decide how to vote on the
proposals concerning a change in procedures for election of directors, by comparing with the current procedures and taking into account reasonableness of such change, etc.
|
•
|
We generally vote against
the proposals that reduce responsibility of directors for monetary damages due to their breach of duty of care of a prudent manager.
|
•
|
Responsibilities
of the board of directors include proper supervision over the succession plan for top executives. The nomination committee at the company with a three-committee board structure, or the nomination committee that should be voluntarily deployed by the
company with a different structure, should provide proper supervision over fostering and election of successors with secured transparency. It is desirable that an independent outside director serves as the chair of the nomination committee. If the
process is judged to significantly lack transparency and reasonableness, we consider to vote against the director candidates who are top executives.
|
4. Election of Statutory Auditors
We decide how to vote on the proposals
concerning election of statutory auditors, taking into account independence, competence and existence of anti-social acts of auditor candidates, etc. We decide how to
vote on reelection of statutory auditor candidates, taking into account their
approach to corporate governance and accountability during their tenure, existence of anti-social acts of the company, etc. in addition to the above factors.
Statutory auditors and directors who are
members of the audit committee or the similar committee are required to have deep specialized knowledge of accounting and laws and regulations, and should make efforts to continuously gain knowledge and skills from time to time to fulfill the
important role and responsibilities in governance of the subject company. Companies are also required to provide sufficient opportunities of such training.
•
|
We generally vote against
non-independent outside statutory auditors.
|
•
|
The person who has no
relationship with the subject company other than being elected as a statutory auditor is regarded as independent.
|
•
|
We regard
the outside statutory auditor with significantly long tenure as non-independent, and vote against reelection of such outside statutory auditor. We generally consider to vote against the candidate whose tenure is longer than 10 years.
|
(2)
|
Attendance rate and concurrent
duties
|
•
|
All statutory auditors are
expected to attend meetings of the board of directors or the board of statutory auditors in principle, and companies are generally obligated to facilitate all statutory auditors to attend meetings. We generally vote against reelection of the
statutory auditor candidate who attended less than 75% of meetings of the board of directors or the board of statutory auditors.
|
•
|
We take into account not
only the number of attendance but reasons for nomination and substantial contribution, if disclosed.
|
•
|
We carefully consider the
quality of the candidates who have many concurrent duties as outside directors or outside auditors of listed companies, given that outside directors/auditors are expected to make an important contribution to the board discussion. The company which
nominate the candidates who have many concurrent duties should explain the reasonable background and eligibility for such nomination and make best effort to enable investors to understand them enough, both in terms of the disclosure timing and
method.
|
•
|
If there are material
concerns about the provided auditor report or auditing procedures, or if the matters to be disclosed are not fully disclosed, we vote against reelection of statutory auditor candidates.
|
(4)
|
Anti-social acts of the
company
|
•
|
If it is judged that there
has been any corporate scandal that has significant social effects and has impaired, or is likely to impair, the shareholder value during the tenure, we shall conduct sufficient engagement with the subject company on the background and subsequent
resolutions of the scandal. Based on the engagement and taking into account impact on the shareholder value, we decide how to vote on reelection of statutory auditor candidates.
|
•
|
With respect to domestic
scandals, if the company has received administrative disposition on cartel or bid-rigging, we consider to vote against reelection of statutory auditor candidates, at the time when the disposition is determined by the Fair Trade Commission, etc. If
the final disposition is subsequently determined on appeal or complaint, we do not vote against reelection again at such time. We decide case-by-case with respect to an order for compensation in a civil case or disposition by the Consumer Affairs
Agency and administrative disposition imposed overseas.
|
•
|
With respect to
administrative disposition imposed on a subsidiary or affiliate, if the subsidiary or affiliate is unlisted, we consider to vote against reelection of statutory auditor candidates of the holding company or the parent company. If the subsidiary or
affiliate is listed, we consider to vote against reelection of statutory auditor candidates of the subsidiary or affiliate and the holding company; provided, however, that we decide case-by-case depending on importance of the disposition on the
subsidiary or affiliate, its impact on business performance of the holding company or parent company.
|
•
|
With
respect to a scandal of an individual employee, if such scandal has impaired, or is likely to impair the shareholder value, and it is judged that the subject company should assume responsibility as a manager, we consider to vote against reelection
of statutory auditor candidates.
|
•
|
We consider voting against
reelection of statutory auditor candidates, if the subject company has committed window-dressing and inadequate accounting activities during their tenure.
|
5. Composition of Board
of Statutory Auditors
We decide
how to vote on the proposals concerning the number of members and change in constituents of the board of statutory auditors, by comparing with the current structure and taking into account impact on the subject company and the economic interest of
shareholders.
•
|
We favorably consider an
increase in the number of statutory auditors, but in the case of a decrease in the number of statutory auditors, unless reasons are clearly and reasonably stated, we consider to vote against reelection of the director candidates who are top
executives.
|
6. Election and Removal of Accounting Auditors
•
|
We decide how to vote on the
proposals concerning election and removal of accounting auditors, taking into account competence of candidates and the level of costs for the accounting audit, etc.
|
•
|
If it is judged that there
are following problems with the accounting audit services in the subject company, and the accounting auditor in question is not removed but reelected, we generally vote against reelection of the statutory auditor candidates and the director
candidates who are members of the audit committee or the similar committee:
|
•
|
It is judged that the
accounting auditor has expressed incorrect opinions on financial conditions;
|
•
|
In the case where there are
concerns on the financial statements, the matters to be disclosed are not fully disclosed;
|
•
|
In the case where the
accounting auditor has a contract of non-accounting audit services with the subject company, it is judged that such non-accounting audit services are recognized to have conflict of interest with accounting audit services;
|
•
|
In the case where excessive
accounting audit costs are paid;
|
•
|
It is
judged that gross fraudulence or negligence of the accounting auditor is recognized.
|
•
|
If it is judged that there
are problems with accounting audit services in another company, and the accounting auditor in question becomes a candidate for election or is not removed but reelected, we decide how to vote, giving full consideration to impact on the enterprise
value of the subject company.
|
•
|
We
generally vote against the proposals concerning a change in accounting auditors, if difference in views about the accounting principles between the previous accounting auditor and the subject company is judged to be the reason for such change.
|
7. Compensation and
Bonuses for Directors, Statutory Auditors and Employees
(1)
|
Compensation and bonuses for
Directors
|
•
|
In determining compensation
and bonuses for directors, it is desirable to increase the proportion of stocks in compensation and bonuses, taking into account whether the performance-based compensation structure is developed, whether transparency is fully secured such as
disclosure of an index or formula as a basis for calculation, and impact on shareholders such as dilution. The compensation committee at the company with a three-committee board structure, or the compensation committee that should be voluntarily
deployed by the company with a different structure, should ensure the compensation structure with secured transparency. It is desirable that an independent outside director serves as the chair of the compensation committee.
|
•
|
We consider to vote against
the proposals seeking approval for compensation and bonuses in the following cases:
|
•
|
where negative correlation
is seen between the business performance of the subject company and compensation and bonuses;
|
•
|
where there exist
problematic system and practices;
|
•
|
where the aggregate amount
of compensation and bonuses is not disclosed;
|
•
|
where mismanagement is clear
as shown by share price erosion or and significant deterioration in profit;
|
•
|
where the
person who is judged to be responsible for acts against the interest of shareholders is among recipients of compensation and bonuses.
|
•
|
We generally vote for the
proposals requesting disclosure of compensation and bonuses of individual directors.
|
•
|
If any measures are
implemented to secure transparency of the system other than individual disclosure, such measures are taken into account.
|
•
|
If there is no proposal
seeking approval for compensation and bonuses and the system is not clear, we consider to vote against election of the director candidates who are top executives,
|
•
|
We
generally vote against bonuses for statutory auditors and the directors who become members of the audit committee under the audit committee system
|
•
|
As directors who become
members of the audit committee at the company with a three committee structure, directors who become members of the audit committee at the company with a board with audit committee structure and outside directors are required to perform duties as
director, we consider their compensation and bonuses differently from statutory auditors at the company with a statutory auditor structure.
|
•
|
We decide how to vote on the
proposals concerning stock compensation including stock option plans and restricted stock units, taking into account impact on the shareholder value and rights of shareholders, the level of compensation, the recipients of stock compensation, and
reasonableness, etc.
|
•
|
We generally vote against
the proposals seeking to lower the strike price of stock options.
|
•
|
We generally vote for the
proposals seeking to require approval of shareholders for change in the strike price of stock options.
|
•
|
We
generally vote against the stock compensation, if terms of exercise including the percentage
|
|
of dilution are unclear. We
generally consider to vote against the proposal in which there is a 10% or more dilution potentiality.
|
•
|
Stock compensation should be
a long-term incentive and its plan should be aligned with a long-term corporate value growth. Considering that, we generally vote against the proposal which enables the beneficiaries to exercise whole rights vested in the subject year within two
years. However, the beneficiary who retires during the subject year is the exception for this clause. We will carefully review its validity if the restricted period is regarded as too long.
|
•
|
We generally vote against
the stock compensation granted to statutory auditors and the directors who become members of the audit committee under the audit committee system.
|
•
|
As directors who become
members of the audit committee at the company with a three committee structure are required to perform duties as director, we consider the stock compensation for them differently from statutory auditors and the directors who become members of the
audit committee under the audit committee system at the company with a statutory auditor structure.
|
•
|
We generally vote against
the stock compensation granted to any third parties other than employees.
|
•
|
We
generally vote against the stock compensation if it is judged likely to be used as a tool for takeover defense.
|
•
|
We decide how to vote on the
proposals concerning stock purchase plan, taking into account impact on the shareholder value and rights of shareholders, the recipients of stock compensation and reasonableness, etc.
|
(4)
|
Retirement benefits for
directors
|
•
|
We decide how to vote on the
proposals concerning grant of retirement benefits, taking into account the scope of recipients, existence of anti-social acts of recipients, business performance of the company and anti-social acts of the company, etc.
|
•
|
We generally vote for the
proposals granting retirement benefits, if all of the following criteria are met:
|
•
|
The granted amount is
disclosed;
|
•
|
Outside directors, statutory
auditors and the directors who become members of the audit committee under the audit committee system are not included in recipients;
|
•
|
There has been no serious
scandal involving recipients during their tenure;
|
•
|
The subject company has not
suffered from loss for the three consecutive year, or its business performance is not judged to significantly lag relative to peers in the same industry;
|
•
|
There has been no corporate
scandal that has significant social effects on the subject company and has impaired, or likely to impair, the shareholder value during the tenure of recipients;
|
•
|
The
subject company has not committed window-dressing and inadequate accounting activities during the tenure of recipients.
|
8.
Cross-shareholdings
If the company holds shares for relationship
purpose, we believe that the company is required to explain about medium- to long-term business and financial strategies and disclose criteria for proxy voting decisions and voting results, etc. If no reasonable views are indicated and no
constructive dialogue is conducted, we
consider to vote against the director candidates who are top executives. It
is important that the company does not prevent companies who have its shares as a “policy-share-holding” from selling/reducing them.
9. Capital
Policy
As the capital policy of
listed companies is likely to have important impact on the shareholder value and the interest of shareholders of the subject company, the subject company should implement the reasonable capital policy and explain basic policies of the capital policy
to shareholders. We consider voting against the proposals concerning the capital policy that is judged to impair the shareholder value. If there exists the capital policy that is not part of proposals at the shareholders meeting but is judged to
impair the shareholder value, we consider voting against reelection of director candidates.
•
|
The company may not intend
to keep/increase “so-called loyal shareholders” for the company management to hinder minority shareholders right through the third party allotment, transfer of the treasury stocks or transfer of the stocks which are held by the company
management to the foundations which have a close relationship with the subject company.

Proxy Voting Guidelines
for
Invesco Capital Management LLC
(formerly known as Invesco PowerShares Capital Management
LLC)
Applicable
to: All funds advised by Invesco Capital Management LLC (“ICM” or the “Adviser”) for which it has been delegated proxy voting authority.
Risk Addressed by Policy: Breach of fiduciary duty to clients under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by placing Invesco’s interests ahead of clients’ best interests in voting proxies
Relevant Law and Other Sources: Investment Advisers Act of 1940
Effective Date: June 24, 2014
Last Amended Date: December 12, 2019
I. GENERAL POLICY
ICM has adopted proxy voting policies with
respect to securities owned by series for which it serves as investment adviser and has been delegated the authority to vote proxies. ICM’s proxy voting policies are designed to provide that proxies are voted in the best interests of
shareholders.
Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), the parent to the Adviser, has adopted a global policy statement on corporate governance and proxy voting (the “Global Invesco
Policy”) (see Exhibit A), which details Invesco’s views on governance matters and describes the proxy administration and governance approach. The Adviser will approach proxy constraints according to the Invesco global statement on
corporate governance and proxy voting. The Adviser will approach conflicts of interest in accordance with Invesco’s global policy statement on corporate governance and proxy voting. The Adviser votes proxies by utilizing the procedures and
mechanisms outlined in the Global Invesco Policy, while maintaining specific guidelines for products advised by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser (“Affiliated Funds”), as set forth
below:
Overlapping Securities
In instances where both an Affiliated Fund
advised by the Adviser and an Affiliated Fund advised by an Invesco Ltd. entity hold an equity security (“Overlapping Securities”), the Adviser will vote proxies in accordance with the
recommendation of an Invesco Ltd. adviser based on the comprehensive proxy review and under the Global Invesco Policy. The Global Invesco Policy is overseen by the Invesco Proxy Advisory Committee
(“IPAC”), which also orchestrates the review and analysis of the top twenty-five proxy voting matters, measured by overall size of holdings by funds within the Invesco family. The Adviser
consults with the IPAC on specific proxy votes and general proxy voting matters as it deems necessary. In addition, as part of the Global Invesco Proxy Voting Process, the IPAC oversees instances when possible conflicts of interest arise among
funds. (Please see the Global Invesco Policy for the detailed conflicts of interest approach.)
In instances where the global proxy
administration team does not receive a recommendation in a timely manner, the proxy administration team will automatically vote such ballots in accordance with Invesco’s custom guidelines established in Invesco’s global proxy voting
policy and US guidelines.
Non-Overlapping Securities
In instances where securities are held only
by an Affiliated Fund advised by the Adviser and not also by an Invesco Ltd. active equity entity fund, the Adviser will instruct the proxy administration team to vote proxies in accordance with said Invesco custom guidelines implemented by ISS,
Invesco’s vote execution agent.
Under this Policy, the Adviser retains the
power to vote contrary to the recommendation of the Invesco Voting Process (for Overlapping Securities) or Invesco’s custom guidelines (for Non-Overlapping Securities) at its discretion, so long as the reasons for doing so are well
documented.
II. SPECIAL POLICY
Certain Affiliated Funds pursue their
investment objectives by investing in other registered investment companies pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The relief granted by that order is conditioned upon complying with a number of
undertakings, some of which require such Affiliated Fund to vote its shares in an acquired investment company in the same proportion as other holders of the acquired fund’s shares. In instances in which an Affiliated Fund is required to vote
in this manner to rely on the exemptive order, the Adviser will vote shares of these acquired investment companies in compliance with the voting mechanism required by the order.

SEBI vide its
circular reference no. SEBI/IMD/Cir No.18/198647/2010 dated March 15, 2010 has stated that mutual fund should play an active role in ensuring better corporate governance of listed companies. The said circular stated that the AMCs should disclose
their general policies and procedures for exercising the voting rights in respect of shares held by them.
Subsequently, SEBI vide its circular ref.
no. CIR/IMD/DF/05/2014 dated March 24, 2014 and SEBI/HO/IMD/DF2/CIR/P/2016/68 dated August 10, 2016 have amended certain provisions of above mentioned circular specifying additional compliance / disclosure requirements with respect to exercise of
voting rights by mutual funds.
This
policy is drafted in pursuance of SEBI circular dated March 15, 2010 read with March 24, 2014 and August 10, 2016 and provides general philosophy, broad guidelines and procedures 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. 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). Further, IAMI is an affiliate of a diverse financial services organization consisting of many affiliates. Moreover IAMI under schemes 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.
In a situation where an investee company, an
affiliate or associate/group company were to approach IAMI with regard to a particular voting decision then such matter will be referred to the Voting Committee.
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.

regarding, but not limited to, which the IAMI may exercise the voting rights in the Annual General Meeting (AGMs) /Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EGMs)/ Through Postal Ballots/Electronic voting of the investee companies are as follows:
•
|
Corporate governance
matters, including changes in the state of incorporation, merger and other corporate restructuring and anti- takeover provisions.
|
•
|
Changes to capital
structure, including increase and decrease of capital and preferred stock issuances.
|
•
|
Stock option plans and other
management compensation issues.
|
•
|
Social and corporate
responsibility issues.
|
•
|
Appointment and Removal of
Directors.
|
•
|
Any other
issue that may affect the interest of the shareholders in general and interest of the unit-holders in particular.
|
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.

Steps (Procedure) in
Exercising Voting Rights
|
The following points outline the key steps
in exercising Voting rights:
1)
Notification of company AGMs / EGMs and relevant voting items to Fund Management Team.
2) The IAMI shall
endeavor to vote for all holdings of the Fund, aggregated for all its schemes, but subject to the importance of the matter and the cost/time implications. The voting will cover all equity holding across all schemes of Invesco Mutual Fund. (except
for companies which are held only in arbitrage fund)
3) Custodian will send
ballots and or other relevant papers (notice of meeting, proxy form, attendance slips etc.) to IAMI relating to AGM/EGM as soon as it receives.
4) The fund management
team is authorized to decide on voting decisions but may refer decisions to the Voting Committee for its guidance/direction.
5) Based on internal
discussion within the fund management team, a decision would be arrived at as to whether IAMI should 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) Proposed
resolutions would be discussed within the fund management team and decision would be taken on whether to vote (“for”/ “against”) or “abstain” from voting. IAMI may abstain from voting on proposals that do not have
a readily determinable financial impact on shareholder value and/or matters for which disclosure is inadequate. For the remaining proposals, IAMI would vote either “for” or “against” based on overall merits and demerits of
the proposed resolution. 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.
The disclosures
of voting rights exercised are as follows:
•
|
Details of votes cast by the
schemes of the Fund will be uploaded on the website of IAMI
|
|
(www.invescomutualfund.com)
on a quarterly basis in the prescribed format within the stipulated timelines as prescribed by SEBI from time to time.
|
•
|
Details of votes cast by the
schemes of the Fund will be uploaded on the website of IAMI (www.invescomutualfund.com) on an annual basis in the prescribed format and the same will also be disclosed in Annual Report of the schemes of the Fund.
|
•
|
Summary
on actual exercise of votes cast and its break-up in terms of total number of votes cast in favor, against or abstained will also be uploaded on the website of IAMI (www.invescomutualfund.com) on an annual basis.
|
H.
|
Certification/Confirmation
|
•
|
On an annual basis, IAMI
will obtain a certification from scrutinizer (in terms of Rule 20 (3) (ix) of Companies (Management and Administration) Rules, 2014) on voting reports and the same will be placed before the Boards of AMC and Trustee. The scrutinizer’s
certificate will form part of Annual Report and will also be uploaded on the website of IAMI (www.invescomutualfund.com).
|
•
|
A
confirmation shall also be submitted by Trustees in its half yearly report to SEBI that IAMI have voted on important decisions affecting interests of unitholders.
|
The Board of
Directors of IAMI and Trustees shall review and ensure that IAMI have voted on important decisions affecting interests of unitholders and the rationale recorded for vote decision is prudent and adequate.

APPENDIX H - PORTFOLIO MANAGERS
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.

These are accounts of
individual investors for which Invesco provides investment advice. Invesco offers separately managed accounts that are managed according to the investment models developed by its portfolio managers and used in connection with the management of
certain Invesco Funds. These accounts may be invested in accordance with one or more of those investment models and investments held in those accounts are traded in accordance with the applicable models.
|
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may
arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one Fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple Funds and/or other accounts may be presented with one or more of
the following potential conflicts:
•
|
The management of multiple
Funds and/or other accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each Fund and/or other account. The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to manage such competing interests for the time and
attention of portfolio managers by having portfolio managers focus on a particular investment discipline. Most other accounts managed by a portfolio manager are managed using the same investment models that are used in connection with the management
of the Funds.
|
•
|
If a portfolio manager
identifies a limited investment opportunity which may be suitable for more than one Fund or other account, a Fund may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible
Funds and other accounts. To deal with these situations, the Adviser, each Sub-Adviser and the Funds have adopted procedures for allocating portfolio transactions across multiple accounts.
|
•
|
The
Adviser and each Sub-Adviser determine which broker to use to execute each order for securities transactions for the Funds, consistent with its duty to seek best execution of the transaction. However, for certain other accounts (such as mutual funds
for which Invesco or an affiliate acts as sub-adviser, other pooled investment vehicles that are not registered mutual funds, and other accounts managed for organizations and individuals), the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser may be limited by the
client with respect to the selection of brokers or may be instructed to direct trades through a particular broker. In these cases, trades for a Fund in a particular security may be placed separately from, rather than aggregated with, such other
accounts. Having separate
|
|
transactions with respect to
a security may temporarily affect the market price of the security or the execution of the transaction, or both, to the possible detriment of the Fund or other account(s) involved.
|
•
|
Finally,
the appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one Fund or account but not all Funds and accounts for which a
portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. None of the Invesco Fund accounts managed have a performance fee.
|
The Adviser, each Sub-Adviser, and the Funds
have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
Description of Compensation Structure
For the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser
The Adviser and each Sub-Adviser seek to
maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. Portfolio managers receive a base salary, an incentive cash bonus opportunity and a deferred compensation opportunity.
Portfolio manager compensation is reviewed and may be modified each year as appropriate to reflect changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses to promote competitive Fund performance. The Adviser and each
Sub-Adviser evaluate competitive market compensation by reviewing compensation survey results conducted by an independent third party of investment industry compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of the following three
elements:
Base Salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary. In setting the base salary, the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser’s intention is to be competitive in light of the particular portfolio manager's experience and
responsibilities.
Annual Bonus. The portfolio managers are eligible, along with other employees of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, to participate in a discretionary year-end bonus pool. The Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. reviews and approves
the firm-wide bonus pool based upon progress against strategic objectives and annual operating plan, including investment performance and financial results. In addition, while having no direct impact on individual bonuses, assets under management
are considered when determining the starting bonus funding levels. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus which is based on quantitative (i.e. investment performance) and non-quantitative factors (which may include, but
are not limited to, individual performance, risk management and teamwork).
Each portfolio manager's compensation is
linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the Funds/accounts managed by the portfolio manager as described in Table 1 below.

Portfolio Managers for

|
7
|
Portfolio
Managers for Invesco Pacific Growth Fund’s compensation is based on the one-, three- and five-year performance against the appropriate Micropol benchmark.
|
High investment performance (against
applicable peer group and/or benchmarks) would deliver compensation generally associated with top pay in the industry (determined by reference to the third-party provided compensation survey information) and poor investment performance (versus
applicable peer group) would result in low bonus compared to the applicable peer group or no bonus at all. These decisions are reviewed and approved collectively by senior leadership which has responsibility for executing the compensation approach
across the organization.
With respect
to Invesco Capital, there is no policy regarding, or agreement with, the Portfolio Managers or any other senior executive of the Adviser to receive bonuses or any other compensation in connection with the performance of any of the accounts managed
by the Portfolio Managers.
Deferred /
Long Term Compensation. Portfolio managers may be granted a deferred compensation award based on a firm-wide bonus pool approved by the Compensation Committee of Invesco Ltd. Deferred compensation awards may take the
form of annual deferral awards or long-term equity awards. Annual deferral awards may be granted as an annual stock deferral award or an annual fund deferral award. Annual stock deferral awards are settled in Invesco Ltd. common shares. Annual fund
deferral awards are notionally invested in certain Invesco Funds selected by the Portfolio Manager and are settled in cash. Long-term equity awards are settled in Invesco Ltd. common shares. Both annual deferral awards and long-term equity awards
have a four-year ratable vesting schedule. The vesting period aligns the interests of the Portfolio Managers with the long-term interests of clients and shareholders and encourages retention.
Retirement and health and welfare
arrangements. Portfolio managers are eligible to participate in retirement and health and welfare plans and programs that are available generally to all employees.

No administrative services fees were paid by
the predecessor funds for the fiscal years ended 2017 and 2018. The predecessor funds' advisory agreement required the predecessor funds' investment adviser, at its expense, to provide the predecessor fund with adequate office space, facilities and
equipment. It also required the predecessor funds' investment adviser to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the predecessor fund. Those responsibilities
included the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to the predecessor funds' operations, the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration statements for the continuous public sale of
shares of the predecessor funds. The management fees paid to the predecessor fund’s investment adviser are found in Appendix G.

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:
•
|

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

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 or IV Funds by
investors other than Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans:
Percent of Purchases – Categories I, II and IV
•
|
1% (0.50% for Invesco Short
Duration Inflation Protected Fund and 0.75% for Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Bond Fund) of the first $4 million
|
•
|
plus 0.50% of the next $46
million
|
•
|
plus
0.25% of amounts in excess of $50 million
|
If (i) the amount of any single purchase
order plus (ii) the public offering price of all other shares owned by the same customer submitting the purchase order on the day on which the purchase order is received equals or exceeds $1,000,000, with respect to Categories I or II Funds, or
$250,000 with respect to Category IV or VI Funds, the purchase will be considered a "jumbo accumulation purchase." With regard to any individual jumbo accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the dealer of record based on the
cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same customer over the life of his or her account(s).
If an investor made a Large Purchase of
Class A shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund or Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund on or after October 31, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010, and exchanges those shares for Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or
VI Fund, Invesco Distributors will pay 1.00% of such purchase as dealer compensation upon the exchange. The Class A shares of the Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund received in exchange generally will be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if the investor redeems
such shares within 18 months from the date of exchange.
Payments for Purchases of Class A Shares at
NAV by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans. Invesco Distributors may make the following payments to dealers of record for purchases of Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) of Category I, II, IV, V or
VI Funds by Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans provided that the applicable dealer of record is able to establish that the plan's purchase of such Class A shares is a new investment (as defined below):
Percent of Purchases
•
|
0.50% of the first $20
million
|
•
|
plus
0.25% of amounts in excess of $20 million
|
A "new investment" means a purchase paid for
with money that does not represent (i) the proceeds of one or more redemptions of Invesco Fund shares, (ii) an exchange of Invesco Fund shares, (iii) the repayment of one or more Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan loans that were funded
through the redemption of Invesco Fund shares, or (iv) money returned from another fund family. If Invesco Distributors pays a dealer concession in connection with an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan's or SIMPLE IRA Plan's purchase of
Class A shares at NAV, such shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% of net assets for 12 months, commencing on the date the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan first invests in Class A shares of an Invesco Fund. If the
applicable dealer of record is unable to establish that an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan's or SIMPLE IRA Plan's purchase of Class A shares at NAV is a new investment, Invesco Distributors will not pay a dealer concession in
connection with such purchase and such shares will not be subject to a CDSC.
With regard to any individual jumbo
accumulation purchase, Invesco Distributors may make payment to the dealer of record based on the cumulative total of jumbo accumulation purchases made by the same plan over the life of the plan's account(s).
Fund Reorganizations. Class A Shares issued in connection with a Fund's merger, consolidation, or acquisition of the assets of another Fund will not be charged an initial sales charge.
Purchasers Qualifying For Reductions in
Initial Sales Charges. As shown in the tables above, the applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase may be reduced and will be based on the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares
owned based on their current public offering price. These
reductions are available to purchasers that meet the qualifications listed in
the prospectus under "Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions."
How to Qualify For Reductions in Initial Sales
Charges under Rights of Accumulation (ROAs) or Letters of Intent (LOIs). The following sections discuss different ways that a purchaser can qualify for a reduction in the initial sales charges for purchases of Class
A shares of the Invesco Funds.
Letters of
Intent
A purchaser may pay reduced
initial sales charges by (i) indicating on the Account Application that he, she or it intends to provide a LOI; and (ii) subsequently fulfilling the conditions of that LOI.
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco
Conservative Income Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Oppenheimer Short Term Municipal Fund, and Class AX shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market
Fund, as applicable, or Class IB, IC, Y, Investor Class and Class RX shares of any Invesco Fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges since they cannot be tied to a
LOI.
The LOI confirms the total
investment in shares of the Invesco Funds that the purchaser intends to make within the next 13 months. By marking the LOI section on the account application and by signing the account application, the purchaser indicates that he, she or it
understands and agrees to the terms of the LOI and is bound by the provisions described below:
Calculating the
Initial Sales Charge
•
|
Each purchase of Fund shares
normally subject to an initial sales charge made during the 13-month period will be made at the public offering price applicable to a single transaction of the total dollar amount indicated by the LOI (to determine what the applicable public
offering price is, look at the sales charge table in the section on "Initial Sales Charges" above).
|
•
|
It is the purchaser's
responsibility at the time of purchase to specify the account numbers that should be considered in determining the appropriate sales charge.
|
•
|
The offering price may be
further reduced as described below under "Rights of Accumulation" if Invesco Investment Services, Inc., the Invesco Funds' transfer agent (Transfer Agent) is advised of all other accounts at the time of the investment.
|
•
|
Reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions acquired during the 13-month LOI period will not be applied to the LOI.
|
Calculating the
Number of Shares to be Purchased
•
|
Purchases made and shares
acquired through reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions prior to the LOI effective date will be applied toward the completion of the LOI based on the value of the shares calculated at the public offering price on the effective
date of the LOI.
|
•
|
If a purchaser wishes to
revise the LOI investment amount upward, he, she or it may submit a written and signed request at any time prior to the completion of the original LOI. This revision will not change the original expiration date.
|
•
|
The
Transfer Agent will process necessary adjustments upon the expiration or completion date of the LOI.
|
Fulfilling the
Intended Investment
•
|
By signing a LOI, a
purchaser is not making a binding commitment to purchase additional shares, but if purchases made within the 13-month period do not total the amount specified, the purchaser generally will have to pay the increased amount of sales charge.
|
•
|
To assure
compliance with the provisions of the 1940 Act, the Transfer Agent will reserve, in escrow
|
|
or similar arrangement, in
the form of shares, an appropriate dollar amount computed to the nearest full share out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary). All dividends and any capital gain distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the
purchaser. All shares purchased, including those reserved, will be registered in the purchaser's name. If the total investment specified under this LOI is completed within the 13-month period, the reserved shares will be promptly released, and
additional purchases will be subject to the appropriate breakpoint sales charge based on the account's current ROA value.
|
•
|
If the intended investment
is not completed, the purchaser generally will pay the Transfer Agent the difference between the sales charge on the specified amount and the sales charge on the total amount actually purchased. If the purchaser does not pay such difference within
20 days of the expiration date, the Transfer Agent will surrender for redemption any or all shares, to make up such difference within 60 days of the expiration date.
|
•
|
Accounts
linked under the LOI revert back to ROA once a LOI is met, regardless of expiration date.
|
Canceling the
LOI
•
|
If at any time before
completing the LOI Program, the purchaser wishes to cancel the agreement, he or she must give written notice to Invesco Distributors or its designee.
|
•
|
If at any
time before completing the LOI Program the purchaser requests the Transfer Agent to liquidate or transfer beneficial ownership of his or her total shares, the LOI will be automatically canceled. If the total amount purchased is less than the amount
specified in the LOI, the Transfer Agent will redeem an appropriate number of reserved shares equal to the difference between the sales charge actually paid and the sales charge that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a
single time.
|
Other Persons Eligible for the LOI Privilege
The LOI privilege is also available to
holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax qualified group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
LOIs and Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges
All LOIs
to purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or V Funds or $250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds are subject to an 18-month, 1% CDSC.
Rights of Accumulation
A purchaser may also qualify for reduced
initial sales charges under Invesco’s ROA policy. To determine whether or not a reduced initial sales charge applies to a proposed purchase, Invesco Distributors takes into account not only the money that is invested upon such proposed
purchase, but also the value of all shares of the Invesco Funds owned by such purchaser, calculated at their then current public offering price.
If a purchaser qualifies for a reduced sales
charge, the reduced sales charge applies to the total amount of money being invested, even if only a portion of that amount exceeds the breakpoint for the reduced sales charge. For example, if a purchaser already owns qualifying shares of any
Invesco Fund with a value of $30,000 and wishes to invest an additional $30,000 in a Fund with a maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%, the reduced initial sales charge of 4.50% will apply to the full $30,000 purchase and not just to the $10,000 in
excess of the $50,000 breakpoint.
To
qualify for obtaining the discount applicable to a particular purchase, the purchaser or his dealer must furnish the Transfer Agent with a list of the account numbers and the names in which such accounts of the purchaser are registered at the time
the purchase is made.
ROAs are also
available to holders of the Connecticut General Guaranteed Account, established for tax-qualified group annuities, for contracts purchased on or before June 30, 1992.
If an investor's new purchase of Class A
shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund is at net asset value, the newly purchased shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if the investor redeems them prior to the end of the 18 month holding period.
Other Requirements For Reductions in Initial
Sales Charges. As discussed above, investors or dealers seeking to qualify orders for a reduced initial sales charge must identify such orders and, if necessary, support their qualification for the reduced charge.
Invesco Distributors reserves the right to determine whether any purchaser is entitled to a reduced sales charge based upon the qualifications set forth in the prospectus under "Qualifying for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge
Exceptions."
Class A Shares Sold
Without an Initial Sales Charge. Invesco Distributors permits certain other investors to invest in Class A shares without paying an initial sales charge, generally as a result of the investor's current or former
relationship with the Invesco Funds. It is possible that a financial intermediary may not, in accordance with its policies and procedures, be able to offer one or more of these waiver categories. If this situation occurs, it is possible that the
investor would need to invest directly through an account without a designated intermediary in order to take advantage of the waiver. The Funds may terminate or amend the terms of these sales charge waivers at any time.

|
Payments to Dealers. Invesco Distributors may elect to re-allow the entire initial sales charge to dealers for all sales with respect to which orders are placed with Invesco Distributors or its designee during a particular period. Dealers
to whom substantially the entire sales charge is re-allowed may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined under the 1933 Act.
The financial intermediary through which you
purchase your shares may receive all or a portion of the sales charges and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees discussed above. In this context, "financial intermediaries" include any broker, dealer, bank (including bank trust departments), insurance
company separate account, transfer agent, registered investment adviser, financial planner, retirement plan administrator and any other financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement with Invesco Distributors or one or
more of its corporate affiliates (collectively, the Invesco Distributors Affiliates). In addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with the promotion and
sale of shares of the Invesco Funds. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from Invesco Distributors' retention of underwriting concessions and from payments to Invesco Distributors under Rule 12b-1 plans. In
the case of sub-accounting payments, discussed below, Invesco Distributors Affiliates will be reimbursed directly by the Invesco Funds for such payments. These additional cash payments are described below. The categories described below are not
mutually exclusive. The same financial intermediary, or one or more of its affiliates, may receive payments under more than one or all categories. Most financial intermediaries that sell shares of the Invesco Funds receive one or more types of these
cash payments. Financial intermediaries negotiate the cash payments to be paid on an individual basis. Where services are provided, the costs of providing the services and the overall package of services provided may vary from one financial
intermediary to another. Invesco Distributors Affiliates do not make an independent assessment of the cost of providing such services.
Certain financial intermediaries listed
below received one or more types of the following payments during the prior calendar year. This list is not necessarily current and will change over time. Certain arrangements are still being negotiated, and there is a possibility that payments will
be made retroactively to financial intermediaries not listed below. Accordingly, please contact your financial intermediary to determine whether they currently may be receiving such payments and to obtain further information regarding any such
payments.
Financial Support Payments. Invesco Distributors Affiliates make financial support payments as incentives to certain financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of Invesco Funds. The benefits Invesco Distributors Affiliates receive when
they make these payments include, among other things, placing Invesco Funds on the financial intermediary's funds sales system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediary's sales force or to the financial intermediary's management. Financial support payments are sometimes referred to as "shelf space" payments because the payments compensate the financial intermediary for including Invesco Funds in its
Fund sales system (on its sales shelf). Invesco Distributors Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations provided by the financial intermediary. In addition, payments
typically apply only to retail sales, and may not apply to other
types of sales or assets (such as sales to Retirement and Benefit Plans,
qualified tuition programs, or fee based adviser programs – some of which may generate certain other payments described below).
The financial support payments Invesco
Distributors Affiliates make may be calculated on sales of shares of Invesco Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% of the public offering price of all such shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Such payments also may be calculated on the average daily net assets of the applicable Invesco Funds attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of Invesco Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives
to retain previously sold shares of Invesco Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Distributors Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Sub-Accounting and Networking Support Payments. The Transfer Agent, an Invesco Distributors Affiliate, acts as the transfer agent for the Invesco Funds, registering the transfer, issuance and redemption of Invesco Fund shares, and disbursing dividends and other
distributions to Invesco Funds shareholders. However, many Invesco Fund shares are owned or held by financial intermediaries, as that term is defined above, for the benefit of their customers. In those cases, the Invesco Funds often do not maintain
an account for the shareholder. Thus, some or all of the transfer agency functions for these accounts are performed by the financial intermediary. In these situations, Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make payments to financial intermediaries
that sell Invesco Fund shares for certain transfer agency services, including record keeping and sub-accounting shareholder accounts. Payments for these services typically do not exceed 0.25% (for non-Class R5 shares) or 0.10% (for Class R5 shares)
of average annual assets of such share classes or $19 per annum per shareholder account (for non-Class R5 shares only). No Sub-Accounting or Networking Support payments will be made with respect to Invesco Funds' Class R6 shares or Institutional
Class shares. Invesco Distributors Affiliates also may make payments to certain financial intermediaries that sell Invesco Fund shares in connection with client account maintenance support, statement preparation and transaction processing. The types
of payments that Invesco Distributors Affiliates may make under this category include, among others, payment of networking fees of up to $10 per shareholder account maintained on certain mutual fund trading systems.
All fees payable by Invesco Distributors
Affiliates pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreement are charged back to the Invesco Funds, subject to certain limitations approved by the Board of the Trust.
Other Cash Payments. From time to time, Invesco Distributors Affiliates, at their expense and out of their own resources, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries which sell or arrange for the sale of shares of a
Fund. Such compensation provided by Invesco Distributors Affiliates may include payment of ticket charges per purchase or exchange order placed by a financial intermediary, one-time payments for ancillary services such as setting up funds on a
financial intermediary's mutual fund trading systems, financial assistance to financial intermediaries that enable Invesco Distributors Affiliates to participate in and/or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited
registered representatives and other employees, client entertainment, client and investor events, and other financial intermediary-sponsored events, and travel expenses, including lodging incurred by registered representatives and other employees in
connection with client prospecting, retention and due diligence trips. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by state laws or any self-regulatory agency, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) (formerly,
NASD, Inc.). Invesco Distributors Affiliates make payments for entertainment events they deem appropriate, subject to Invesco Distributors Affiliates guidelines and applicable law. These payments may vary depending upon the nature of the event or
the relationship.
Invesco
Distributors Affiliates are motivated to make the payments described above because they promote the sale of Invesco Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries
sell more shares of Invesco Funds or retain shares of
Invesco Funds in their clients' accounts, Invesco Distributors Affiliates
benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid to Invesco Distributors Affiliates by the Invesco Funds with respect to those assets.
In certain cases these payments could be
significant to the financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary may charge you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in the prospectus. You can ask your financial intermediary about any payments it receives from Invesco
Distributors Affiliates or the Invesco Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions it charges. You should consult disclosures made by your financial intermediary at the time of purchase.

Purchases of Class C
Shares
Class C shares are sold
at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Investors in Class C shares may pay a CDSC if they redeem their shares within the first year after purchase (no CDSC applies to Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund unless
you exchange shares of another Invesco Fund that are subject to a CDSC into Invesco Short Term Bond Fund). 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 (except for Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund) at the time of such sales. Payments with respect to Invesco Funds other than Invesco Floating Rate 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 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%. These commissions are not paid on sales to investors exempt from the CDSC, including shareholders of record of AIM Advisor Funds, Inc. on April 30, 1995, who purchase additional shares
in any of the Invesco Funds on or after May 1, 1995, and in circumstances where Invesco Distributors grants an exemption on particular transactions.
Payments with Regard
to Converted Class K Shares
For
Class A shares acquired by a former Class K shareholder (i) as a result of a fund merger; or (ii) as a result of the conversion of Class K shares into Class A shares on October 21, 2005, Invesco Distributors will pay financial intermediaries 0.45%
on such Class A shares as follows: (i) 0.25% from the Class A shares' Rule 12b-1 plan fees; and (ii) 0.20% from Invesco Distributors' own resources provided that, on an annualized basis for 2005 as of October 21, 2005, the 0.20% exceeds $2,000 per
year.
Purchase
and Redemption of Class P Shares
Certain former investors in the AIM Summit
Plans I and II may acquire Class P shares at net asset value. Please see Invesco Summit Fund's prospectus for details.
Purchases of Class R
Shares
Class R shares are sold
at net asset value and are not subject to an initial sales charge. Invesco Distributors may pay dealers of record an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets and such payments will commence immediately. For
any Class R shares sold on or before January 17, 2020 that received an upfront dealer concession, Invesco Distributors may pay dealers of record an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50% of average daily net assets and such payments
will commence in the 13th month from the date of purchase.
Purchases of Class S
Shares
Class S shares are limited to investors who
purchase shares with the proceeds received from a systematic contractual investment plan redemption within the 12-months prior to purchasing Class S shares, and who purchase through an approved financial intermediary that has an agreement with the
distributor to sell Class S shares. Class S shares are not otherwise sold to members of the general public. An investor purchasing Class S shares will not pay an initial sales charge. The investor will no longer be eligible to purchase additional
Class S shares at that point where the value of the contributions to the prior systematic contractual investment plan combined with the subsequent Class S share contributions equals the face amount of what would have been the investor's systematic
contractual investment plan under the 30-year investment option. The face amount of a systematic contractual investment plan is the combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under that plan. For a plan with a scheduled monthly investment
of $100.00, the face amount would have been $36,000.00 under the 30-year extended investment option. Class S shares have a 12b-1 fee of 0.15%.
Purchases of Class Y
Shares
Class Y shares are sold
at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Please refer to the prospectus for more information.
Purchases of Investor
Class Shares
Investor Class
shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Invesco Distributors may pay dealers and institutions an annual service fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and such payments will commence
immediately. The Investor Class is closed to new investors.
Purchases of Class R5
and R6 Shares
Class R5 and R6
shares are sold at net asset value, and are not subject to an initial sales charge or to a CDSC. Please refer to the Class R5 and R6 prospectus for more information.
Exchanges
Terms and Conditions of Exchanges. Normally, shares of an Invesco Fund to be acquired by exchange are purchased at their net asset value or applicable offering price, as the case may be, determined on the date that such request is received. If a
shareholder is exchanging into a Fund paying daily dividends, and the release of the exchange proceeds is delayed for the foregoing five-day period, such shareholder will not begin to accrue dividends until the sixth business day after the
exchange.
Redemptions
General.
Shares of the Invesco Funds may be redeemed directly through the Transfer Agent or through any dealer who has entered into an agreement with Invesco Distributors. A redemption is effected at the net asset value per share of the applicable Fund next
determined after the redemption request is received in good order. To be in good order, the investor, either directly or through his financial intermediary must give the Funds’ transfer agent all required information and documentation.
Payments from a redemption generally constitute taxable events. Because such payments are funded by the redemption shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains or losses, rather than in ordinary income.
An investor or a financial intermediary may
submit a written request to the Funds’ transfer agent for correction of transactions involving Fund shares. If the Funds’ transfer agent agrees to correct a transaction, and the correction requires a dividend adjustment, the investor or
the intermediary must agree in writing to reimburse the Funds for any resulting loss.
Payment for redeemed institutional shares is
normally made by Federal Reserve wire to the bank account designated in the investor’s account application, while payment for redeemed retail shares is normally made by check, but may be sent electronically by either Federal Reserve wire or
ACH at the investor’s request. Any changes to bank instructions must be submitted to the Funds’ transfer agent in writing. The Funds’ transfer agent may request additional documentation. For funds that allow checkwriting, if you do
not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover the amount of the check and any
applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be returned and no shares
will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire value of your account or try to close your account by writing a check.
The Funds’ transfer agent may request
that an intermediary maintain separate master accounts in the Funds for shares held by the intermediary (a) for its own account, for the account of other institutions and for accounts for which the intermediary acts as a fiduciary; and (b) for
accounts for which the intermediary acts in some other capacity. An intermediary may aggregate its master accounts and sub-accounts to satisfy the minimum investment requirement.
With regard to Money Market Funds that do
not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, if a Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed and/or gates on
redemptions. In addition, if a Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of its total assets at the end of any business day, the Fund must impose a 1% liquidity fee on shareholder redemptions unless the Board determines that not doing so is
in the best interests of the Fund. For Funds that do not qualify as Government Money Market Funds, when a fee or a gate is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a Fund.
The Board may, in its discretion, terminate
a liquidity fee or redemption gate at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Also, liquidity fees and redemption gates will automatically terminate at the beginning of the next business day
once a Fund’s weekly liquid assets reach at least 30% of its total assets. Redemption gates may only last up to 10 business days in any 90-day period. When a fee or a gate is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase of shares or
to subject the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee or a gate is in effect.
The Board may, in its discretion,
permanently suspend redemptions and liquidate if, among other things, a Money Market Fund, at the end of a business day, has less than 10% of its total assets invested in weekly liquid assets. The Board of the Retail and Government Money Market
Funds may suspend redemptions and liquidate if the Board determines that the deviation between its amortized cost price per share and its market-based NAV per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to investors or existing
shareholders.
Systematic Redemption
Plan. A Systematic Redemption Plan permits a shareholder of an Invesco Fund to withdraw on a regular basis at least $50 per withdrawal. At the time the withdrawal plan is established, the total account value must be
$5,000 or more. Under a Systematic Redemption Plan, all shares are to be held by the Transfer Agent. To provide funds for payments made under the Systematic Redemption Plan, the Transfer Agent redeems sufficient full and fractional shares at their
net asset value in effect at the time of each such redemption.
Payments under a Systematic Redemption Plan
generally constitute taxable events. Because such payments are funded by the redemption of shares, they may result in a return of capital and in capital gains or losses, rather than in ordinary income. Also because sales charges are imposed on
additional purchases of Class A shares, it is disadvantageous to effect such purchases while a Systematic Redemption Plan is in effect.
Each Invesco Fund bears its share of the
cost of operating the Systematic Redemption Plan.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Imposed upon Redemption of Shares
A CDSC may be imposed upon the redemption of
Large Purchases of Class A shares of Category I, II, IV, V and VI Funds, upon the redemption of Class C shares (no CDSC applies to Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund unless you exchange shares of another Invesco Fund that are subject to
a CDSC into or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund). (In addition, no CDSC applies to Class A2 shares.) See the prospectus for additional information regarding CDSCs.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions
for Large Purchases of Class A Shares. An investor who has made a Large Purchase of Class A shares of a Category I, II, IV, V or VI Fund, will not be subject to a CDSC upon the redemption of those shares in the
following situations:
•
|
Redemptions of shares held
by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan in cases where (i) the plan has remained invested in Class A shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a complete redemption of all Class A shares
held by the plan;
|
•
|
Redemptions of shares by the
investor where the investor's financial intermediary has elected to waive the amounts otherwise payable to it by Invesco Distributors and notifies Invesco Distributors prior to the time of investment;
|
•
|
Minimum required
distributions made in connection with a Retirement and Benefit Plan following attainment of age 70½ , or older, and only with respect to that portion of such distribution that does not exceed 12% annually of the participant's beneficiary
account value in a particular Fund;
|
•
|
Redemptions following the
death or post-purchase disability of a registered shareholder or beneficial owner of an account. Subsequent purchases into such account are not eligible for the CDSC waiver; and
|
•
|
Amounts
from a monthly, quarterly or annual Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis, provided; the investor reinvests his dividends.
|
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Exceptions
for Class C Shares. CDSCs will not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares, as applicable:
•
|
Redemptions following the
death or post-purchase disability of a registered shareholder or beneficial owner of an account. Subsequent purchases into such account are not eligible for the CDSC waiver;
|
•
|
Distributions from
Retirement and Benefit Plans where redemptions result from (i) required minimum distributions to plan participants or beneficiaries who are age 70½ or older, and only with respect to that portion of such distributions that does not exceed 12%
annually of the participant's or beneficiary's account value in a particular Fund; (ii) in kind transfers of assets where the participant or beneficiary notifies the distributor of the transfer no later than the time the transfer occurs; (iii)
tax-free rollovers or transfers of assets to another Retirement and Benefit Plan invested in Class C shares of one or more of the Funds; (iv) tax-free returns of excess contributions or returns of excess deferral amounts; and (v) distributions on
the death or disability (as defined in the Code) of the participant or beneficiary;
|
•
|
Amounts from a monthly or
quarterly Systematic Redemption Plan of up to an annual amount of 12% of the account value on a per fund basis provided the investor reinvests his dividends;
|
•
|
Liquidation initiated by the
Fund when the account value falls below the minimum required account size of $500; and
|
•
|
Investment account(s)
of Invesco and its affiliates.
|
In addition to the foregoing, CDSCs will
not apply to the following redemptions of Class C shares:
•
|
Redemption of shares held by
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans or Employer Sponsored IRAs in cases where (i) the plan has remained invested in Class C shares of a Fund for at least 12 months, or (ii) the redemption is not a complete redemption of all Class C
shares held by the plan; or
|
•
|
A total
or partial redemption of shares where the investor's financial intermediary has elected to waive amounts otherwise payable to it by Invesco Distributors and notifies Invesco Distributors prior to the time of investment.
|
It is possible that a financial intermediary
may not be able to offer one or more of the waiver categories described in this section. If this situation occurs, it is possible that the investor would need to invest directly through an account without a designated intermediary in order to take
advantage of these waivers. Investors should ask their financial intermediary whether they offer the above CDSCs. The Funds may terminate or amend the terms of these CDSCs at any time.
General Information
Regarding Purchases, Exchanges and Redemptions
Good Order.
Purchase, exchange and redemption orders must be received in good order in accordance with the Transfer Agent's policies and procedures and U.S. regulations. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to refuse transactions. Transactions not in good
order will not be processed and once brought into good order, will receive the current price. To be in good order, an investor or financial intermediary must supply the Transfer Agent with all required information and documentation, including
signature guarantees and notary public stamps as required. In addition, if a purchase of shares is made by check, the check must be received in good order. This means that the check must be properly completed and signed, and legible to the Transfer
Agent in its sole discretion. If a check used to purchase shares does not clear, or if any investment order must be canceled due to nonpayment, the investor will be responsible for any resulting loss.
Authorized Agents. The Transfer Agent and Invesco Distributors may authorize agents to accept purchase and redemption orders that are in good order on behalf of the Invesco Funds. In certain cases, these authorized agents are authorized
to designate other intermediaries to accept purchase and redemption orders on a Fund's behalf. The Fund will be deemed to have received the purchase or redemption order when the Fund's authorized agent or its designee accepts the order. The order
will be priced at the net asset value next determined after the order is accepted by the Fund's authorized agent or its designee. Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received authorization to accept orders on a
Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the day submitted to the financial
intermediary.
Signature
Guarantees. Acceptable guarantors include banks, broker-dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, savings associations and any other organization, provided that such institution or organization
qualifies as an "eligible guarantor institution" as that term is defined in rules adopted by the SEC, and further provided that such guarantor institution is listed in one of the reference guides contained in the Transfer Agent's current Signature
Guarantee Standards and Procedures, such as certain domestic banks, credit unions, securities dealers, or securities exchanges. While a notary public stamp may be accepted in certain limited situations, it is not an acceptable replacement for a
signature guarantee. The Transfer Agent will also accept signatures with either: (1) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp of the STAMP Program, or (2) a signature guaranteed with a medallion stamp of the NYSE Medallion Signature Program,
provided that in either event, the amount of the total transaction involved does not exceed the surety coverage amount indicated on the medallion. For information regarding whether a particular institution or organization qualifies as an "eligible
guarantor institution" and to determine how to fulfill a signature guarantee requirement, an investor should contact the Client Services Department of the Transfer Agent.
Transactions by Telephone. By signing an account application form, an investor agrees that the Transfer Agent may surrender for redemption any and all shares held by the Transfer Agent in the designated account(s), or in any other account with
any of the Invesco Funds, present or future, which has the identical registration as the designated account(s). The Transfer Agent is thereby authorized and directed to accept and act upon any telephone redemptions of shares held in any of the
account(s) listed, from any person who requests the redemption proceeds to be applied to purchase shares in any one or more of the Invesco Funds, provided that such Fund is available for sale and provided that the registration and mailing address of
the shares to be purchased are identical to the registration of the shares being redeemed. An investor acknowledges by signing the form that he understands and agrees that the Transfer Agent may not be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising
out of any telephone exchange requests
effected in accordance with the authorization set forth in these instructions
if they reasonably believe such request to be genuine. Procedures for verification of telephone transactions may include recordings of telephone transactions (maintained for six months), requests for confirmation of the shareholder's Social Security
Number and current address, and mailings of confirmations promptly after the transactions. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to modify or terminate the telephone exchange privilege at any time without notice. An investor may elect not to have
this privilege by marking the appropriate box on the application. Then any exchanges must be effected in writing by the investor.
Internet Transactions. An investor may effect transactions in his account through the Internet by establishing a Personal Identification Number (PIN). By establishing a PIN the investor acknowledges and agrees that neither the Transfer Agent
nor Invesco Distributors will be liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any Internet transaction effected by them in accordance with any instructions submitted by a user who transmits the PIN as authentication of his or her identity.
Procedures for verification of Internet transactions include requests for confirmation of the shareholder's PIN and mailing of confirmations promptly after the transactions. The investor also acknowledges that the ability to effect Internet
transactions may be terminated at any time by the Invesco Funds. Policies for processing transactions via the Internet may differ from policies for transactions via telephone due to system settings.
Abandoned Property. It is the responsibility of the investor to ensure that the Transfer Agent maintains a correct address for his account(s). An incorrect address may cause an investor's account statements and other mailings to be
returned to the Transfer Agent. Upon receiving returned mail, the Transfer Agent will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If the Transfer Agent is unable to locate the investor, then it will determine whether the
investor's account has legally been abandoned. The Transfer Agent is legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state's unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The investor's
last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction.
Retirement and Benefit Plans Sponsored by
Invesco Distributors. Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor for certain types of Retirement and Benefit Plan documents. These Retirement and Benefit Plan documents are generally available to anyone
wishing to invest Retirement and Benefit Plan assets in the Funds. These documents are provided subject to terms, conditions and fees that vary by plan type. Contact your financial intermediary for details.
Miscellaneous Fees. In certain circumstances, the intermediary maintaining the shareholder account through which your Fund shares are held may assess various fees related to the maintenance of that account, such as:
•
|
an annual custodial fee on
accounts where Invesco Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor;
|
•
|
expedited mailing fees in
response to overnight redemption requests; and
|
•
|
copying
and mailing charges in response to requests for duplicate statements.
|
Please consult with your intermediary for
further details concerning any applicable fees.
Offering
Price
The following formula may be
used to determine the public offering price per Class A share of an investor’s investment:
Net Asset Value / (1 – Sales Charge as
% of Offering Price) = Offering Price. For example, at the close of business on February 28, 2020, a Fund – Class A shares had a net asset value per share of $10.61. The offering price, assuming an initial sales charge of 5.50%, therefore was
$11.23.
Class R5 and R6 shares of the
Invesco Funds are offered at net asset value.
The offering price per share of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Oppenheimer Government Money Market Fund is $1.00. There can be no assurance that such Funds will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.
Calculation of Net
Asset Value
Each Invesco Fund,
except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, 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, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt 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. 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. Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the net asset value of its shares at 3:00 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. Invesco
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value.
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. Listed options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices from the exchange on which they are principally traded. 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 sales or official closing price on a particular day, the security may be valued at the closing bid price on that day. Each equity security traded in the
over-the-counter market is valued on the basis of prices furnished by independent pricing services vendors or market makers. Debt securities (including convertible bonds) and unlisted equities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an
independent pricing vendor. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing vendor may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities,
developments related to special securities, dividend rate, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, individual trading characteristics and other market data. Securities for which market prices are not provided by any of the above
methods may be valued based upon quotes furnished by independent sources and are valued at the last bid price in the case of equity securities and in the case of debt obligations the mean between the last bid and ask prices. Senior secured floating
rate loans, corporate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors such
as ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance, spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar groups of securities and other market data. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment
companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value 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 net asset value 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
procedures approved by the Board.
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 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 Invesco 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 in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. 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 net asset value per share of each Invesco Fund is determined only on business days of the Invesco Fund, the value of the portfolio
securities of an Invesco Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when an investor cannot exchange or redeem shares of the Invesco Fund.
Securities for which market quotations are
not available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the Trust's officers in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 review of portfolio holdings by the Trustees at such interval as
they may deem appropriate. 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.
Invesco Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio values
its portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value, and calculates its net asset values to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000).
Redemptions in Kind
Although the Invesco Funds generally intend
to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Invesco Funds reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as a redemption in kind). For
instance, an Invesco Fund may make a redemption in kind if a cash redemption would disrupt its operations or performance. Securities that will be delivered as payment in redemptions in kind will be valued using the same methodologies that the
Invesco Fund typically utilizes in valuing such securities. Shareholders receiving such securities are likely to incur transaction and brokerage costs on their subsequent sales of such securities, and the securities may increase or decrease in value
until the shareholder sells them. The Trust, on behalf of the Invesco Funds, made an election under Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act (a Rule 18f-1 Election) and therefore, the Trust, on behalf of an Invesco Fund, is obligated to redeem for cash all
shares presented to such Invesco Fund for redemption by any one shareholder in an amount up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of that Invesco Fund's net assets in any 90-day period. The Rule 18f-1 Election is irrevocable while Rule 18f-1 under the
1940 Act is in effect unless the SEC by order permits withdrawal of such Rule 18f-1 Election.
Backup Withholding
Accounts submitted without a correct,
certified taxpayer identification number (TIN) or, alternatively, a correctly completed and currently effective IRS Form W-8 (for non-resident aliens) or Form W-9 (for U.S. persons including resident aliens) accompanying the registration information
generally will be subject to backup withholding.
Each Invesco Fund, and other payers,
generally must withhold 24% of reportable dividends (whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional Invesco Fund shares), including exempt-interest dividends, in the case of any shareholder who fails to provide the Invesco Funds with a TIN and a
certification that he is not subject to backup withholding.
An investor is subject to backup
withholding if:
1. The investor fails
to furnish a correct TIN to the Invesco Fund;
2. the IRS notifies the Invesco Fund that
the investor furnished an incorrect TIN;
3. the investor or the Invesco Fund is
notified by the IRS that the investor is subject to backup withholding because the investor failed to report all of the interest and dividends on such investor’s tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only);
4. the investor fails to certify to the
Invesco Fund that the investor is not subject to backup withholding under (3) above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only); or
5. the investor does not certify his TIN.
This applies only to non-exempt mutual fund accounts opened after 1983.
Interest and dividend payments are subject
to backup withholding in all five situations discussed above. Redemption proceeds are subject to backup withholding only if (1), (2) or (5) above applies.
Certain payees and payments are exempt from
backup withholding and information reporting. Invesco or the Transfer Agent will not provide Form 1099 to those payees.
Investors should contact the IRS if they
have any questions concerning withholding.
IRS Penalties. Investors who do not supply the Invesco Funds with a correct TIN will be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS unless such failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect. If an investor falsifies
information on this form or makes any other false statement resulting in no backup withholding on an account which should be subject to backup withholding, such investor may be subject to a $500 penalty imposed by the IRS and to certain criminal
penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
Nonresident Aliens. Nonresident alien individuals and foreign entities with a valid Form W-8 are not subject to the backup withholding previously discussed. The Form W-8 generally remains in effect for a period starting on the date the
Form is signed and ending on the last day of the third succeeding calendar year. Such shareholders may, however, be subject to federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate on ordinary income dividends and other distributions. Under applicable treaty
law, residents of treaty countries may qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or a withholding exemption. Nonresident alien individuals and some foreign entities failing to provide a valid Form W-8 may be subject to backup withholding and Form
1099 reporting.

APPENDIX P – SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO
JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH THE FUNDS INVEST
As explained in each Fund’s
Prospectus, the Funds’ investments are highly sensitive to the fiscal stability of the jurisdictions in which the Fund principally invests, including the subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities or authorities of those jurisdictions that
issue municipal securities contained in the Fund’s portfolio. You should consider carefully the special risks inherent in the Fund’s investments in municipal securities.
The Funds may invest in municipal securities
issued by certain territories, commonwealths and possessions of the United States that pay interest that is exempt (in the opinion of the issuer’s legal counsel when the security is issued) from federal income tax and/or state personal income
tax. Therefore, a Fund’s investments could be affected by the fiscal stability of, for example, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Mariana Islands. Additionally, a Fund’s investments could be affected by
economic, legislative, regulatory or political developments affecting issuers in those territories, commonwealths or possessions.
The following information represents a
summary of the risks associated with the concentration of a Fund’s investments in the municipal securities of these jurisdictions. This information is intended to supplement the information contained in a Fund’s prospectus, and does not
purport to be a complete analysis of every risk factor that may affect the obligations of the issuers of these municipal securities.
The following information is based on
publicly available reports prepared by officials of each jurisdiction’s government or their designees. The information may also be based on official statements and other offering documents relating to securities issued by or on behalf of these
jurisdictions, their agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions, as available on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. Although this information is generally compiled from government resources, the Funds do not make any
representation as to the accuracy of the information contained herein. Municipal bond issuers may not be subject to the same disclosure obligations as other bond issuers, which may impact the reliability of the information provided by municipal
issuers that is used to determine fund investments and can potentially make investments in municipal securities riskier than other investments. The Funds have not independently verified this information and the Funds do not have any obligation to
update this information throughout the year.
In addition, this information is subject to
change rapidly, substantially and without notice. Such changes may negatively impact the fiscal condition of the jurisdictions in which the Fund invests, which could harm the performance of a Fund. Accordingly, inclusion of the information herein
shall not create an implication that there has not been any change in the affairs of the relevant jurisdictions since the date of this Statement of Additional Information. More information about the specific risks facing each jurisdiction may be
available from official resources published by those jurisdictions.
The bond ratings provided below are current
as of the date specified. Unless otherwise stated, the ratings indicated are for obligations of the jurisdiction referenced below. The political subdivisions of a given jurisdiction may have different ratings that are unrelated to the ratings
assigned to the obligations of the state, commonwealth or territory. Investors should note that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by a jurisdiction’s local municipal issuers may be unrelated to the creditworthiness of obligations
issued by the jurisdiction itself, and that there may be no obligation on the part of the jurisdiction to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.
To the extent that any statements made below
involve matters of forecasts, projections, opinions, assumptions or estimates, whether or not expressly stated to be such, they are made as such and not as representations of fact or certainty, and no representation is made that any of these
statements have been or will be realized. All forecasts, projections, assumptions, opinions or estimates are “forward looking statements,” which must be read with an abundance of caution because they may not be realized or may not occur
in the future.
In addition, investors should note that
municipal securities may be more susceptible to being downgraded, and issuers of municipal securities may be more susceptible to default, insolvency or bankruptcy, during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. Factors contributing to the
economic stress on municipalities may include lower property tax collections, lower sales tax revenue and lower income tax revenue, among others. In addition, as certain municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other
institutions, the risk to a Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating
organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the municipal securities and thus the value of a Fund’s investments in those securities.
Recent downgrades of certain municipal
securities insurers have negatively impacted the price of certain insured municipal securities. Given the large number of potential claims against municipal securities insurers, there is a risk that they will be unable to meet all future claims.
Certain municipal issuers either have been unable to issue securities or access the market to sell their issues. For some issuers that have been able to access the market, they have had to issue securities at much higher rates, which may reduce
revenues available for the municipal issuers to pay existing obligations. Should a jurisdiction, or its applicable municipalities or subdivisions, fail to sell their securities when and at the rates projected, the jurisdiction or its subdivisions
could experience a weakened overall cash position in the current fiscal year.
An insolvent municipality may take steps to
reorganize its debt, which might include extending debt maturities, reducing the amount of principal or interest, refinancing the debt or taking other measures that may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities
issued by the municipality and the value of a Fund’s investments in those securities. Pursuant to Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, certain municipalities that meet specific conditions may be provided protection from creditors while they
develop and negotiate plans for reorganizing their debts. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides that individual U.S. states are not permitted to pass their own laws purporting to bind non-consenting creditors to a restructuring of a municipality’s
indebtedness, and thus all such restructurings must be pursuant to Chapter 9 of the Bankruptcy Code.
California
Introduction. The economy of
the State of California (“State”) is diverse, with major components in the high-technology, trade, entertainment, manufacturing, tourism, construction and services sectors. In addition, governmental agencies at the state, local and
federal levels employ a significant number of the State’s residents. As these sectors represent the largest share of employment in the State, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the
value of the State’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
The State faces significant fiscal
challenges including significant underfunding of the State’s pension systems. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the United States remains uncertain, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic downturn could
significantly impact the State’s finances and, therefore, its municipal securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in the State may affect long-term growth prospects and could cause some municipalities to experience financial
hardship.
From year-to-year, the State
may experience a number of political, social, economic, and environmental circumstances that influence the State’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) persistent structural imbalances; (ii)
rising debt levels; (iii) significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v) developments with respect to the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases, including pandemics and
epidemics; and (vii) U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to the State and its municipalities.
There can be no guarantee that the
State’s economic and fiscal conditions will continue to improve or that future developments will not have a materially adverse impact on the State’s finances. Any deterioration
in the State’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the
marketability, liquidity or value of the securities issued by the State and its municipalities, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. California’s
economy, the largest among the 50 states and the fifth largest in the world, has major components in high technology, trade, entertainment, agriculture, manufacturing, government, tourism, construction and services. California is by far the most
populous state in the nation. The July 2019 estimate of California’s population is 39.51 million residents, which was 12% of the total U.S. population.
California’ s real domestic product
totaled nearly $3.2 trillion, an increase of 2.6%, during FY2019, and the State remains the national leader in agricultural production and exports with over $50 billion in farm cash receipts. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, residents
of California received approximately $2.63 trillion in estimated personal income in 2019. As a result, residents of California had a per capita personal income of $66,661, which compared favorably to the national average of $56,672 over the same
period.
As of April 2020,
California’s civilian labor force consisted of approximately 18.6 million individuals. Total nonfarm employment increased by 308,000 jobs during FY2019, with eight of California’s eleven major industry sectors experiencing job growth.
The largest number of job gains were in educational and health services, government and financial activities. As of February 2020, California had an unemployment rate of approximately 3.9%, which was down from 4.3% in February 2019. However,
California’s unemployment rate was above the national average of 3.5% during that same period. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent state and federal action, the unemployment rate in California grew to 15.5% in April
2020, above the national rate of 14.7%.In recent years, the State has paid off billions of dollars of budgetary borrowings, debts and deferrals which were accumulated to balance budgets during prior periods of economic downturn. Despite the recent
significant budgetary improvements, there remain a number of budget risks that threaten the financial condition of the State, including the threat of a future economic downturn and the significant unfunded liabilities of the two main retirement
systems managed by State entities.
Although recently the State has experienced
moderate growth, there are still risks to the economy. For instance, the persistence of unemployment has meant slow income and wage growth for a broad section of the population, which impacts the ability of people to save and invest and makes it
difficult for consumption growth to support broader economic growth.
Constraints on the Budget Process. Over the
years, a number of laws and constitutional amendments have been enacted, often through voter initiatives that have limited the State’s ability to use local government taxing sources to aid its budget and use discretion in developing and
executing budget plans.
Likewise,
local governments are constrained by certain legislative and constitutional measures in their ability to raise revenue. As a result of these and other limits to the ability of local governments to raise revenue, local governments may face
significant fiscal problems in periods of economic stress, which could cause these issuers to default on their outstanding obligations or file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
provides insolvent municipalities that meet certain conditions with protection from their creditors while the municipalities develop plans to reorganize their debts. In the past, as a result of financial and economic difficulties, several California
municipalities filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9. Additional municipalities could file for bankruptcy protection in the future. Any such action could negatively impact the value of a fund’s investments in the securities of those
issuers or other issuers in California.
Budget. The FY 2020 Budget Act, enacted on
June 27, 2019, continues to build reserves and pay down budgetary debt. The FY 2020 Budget allocates $14.3 billion in FY2020 to build budgetary resiliency and pay down the State’s unfunded liabilities. This includes $4.5 billion to eliminate
debts and reverse deferrals, $5.5 billion to build reserves, and $4.3 billion to pay down unfunded retirement liabilities, and projects a structurally balanced budget through FY2023. The FY 2020 Budget projects total General Fund resources of
$124.9 billion, which includes a $7.8 billion withdrawal from the Rainy Day
Fund. The FY 2020 Budget projects budget reserves of $1.6 billion in the State’s Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties and $18 billion in the Budget Stabilization Account (“BSA”).
The FY 2020 Budget provides for total State
funding of $99.5 billion for health and human services, including $23.2 billion from the General Fund, with the remaining funding to be provided from special funds. Under the proposed FY 2020 Budget, Proposition 2 captures a total of $2 billion to
be deposited in the BSA.
Retirement
Systems. Underfunded pension plans continue to add spending pressure to the State’s budget. California’s two main public pension funds are the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) and the
California State Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”). As of March 2019, CalPERS and CalSTRS served a combined total of approximately 3.5 million members.
CalPERS and CalSTRS each face unfunded
future liabilities in the tens of billions of dollars. For fiscal year 2019-2020, the actuarially determined General Fund pension contributions to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (“CalPERS”) and California State
Teachers’ Retirement System (“CalSTRS”) were approximately $3.9 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. For fiscal year 2020-21, the actuarially determined General Fund pension contributions to CalPERS and CalSTRS are estimated to
be approximately $3 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.
Legislation with respect to both CalPERS and
CalSTRS and changes made by both systems in actuarial assumptions in the last several years, including expected investment returns and funding methodologies, are expected to result in significant annual increases in the amount the State is required
to pay from the General Fund in the foreseeable future.
In addition to pension benefits, the State
also provides certain other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”), such as health care and dental benefits, for eligible retired employees of the State. Because the State currently funds its OPEB costs on a “pay-as-you-go” basis,
the State has amassed large unfunded actuarial liabilities with respect to its OPEB obligations. The State has an actuarial accrued liability relating to these other post-employment benefits estimated at $85.59 billion as of May 15, 2019 (virtually
all unfunded) as compared to an actuarial accrued liability of $91.01 billion estimated as of May 15, 2018.
Because the State may ultimately be
responsible for paying the difference between the benefits paid and the contributions received by the systems, these unfunded liabilities pose a significant risk to the State’s fiscal condition. In addition, with more money diverted to pension
contributions, the State may have less resources available to meet its debt obligations (including those obligations related to debt held by the Funds), which could impact the credit rating and marketability of its municipal bonds.
Debt. California has a substantial amount of
debt outstanding. As of January 1, 2020, the State had approximately $80.3 billion of outstanding general obligation bonds and lease revenue bonds principally payable from the State’s General Fund or from lease payments paid from the operating
budget of the respective lessees, which operating budgets are primarily, but not exclusively, derived from the General Fund. As of January 1, 2020, there were approximately $33.6 billion of authorized and unissued long-term voter-approved general
obligation bonds which, when issued, will be payable principally from the General Fund and approximately $7.2 billion of authorized and unissued lease-revenue bonds. The State Constitution prohibits the creation of general obligation indebtedness of
the State unless a bond measure is approved by a majority of the electorate voting at a general election or a direct primary. Additionally, the State constitution generally prevents these bonds from being used to finance State budget deficits.
Litigation. The State, its officials and
employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the State might require the State to make
significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential impact
on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments. If the State eventually loses any of these cases, the final remedies may not have to
be implemented in any one year.
Credit Rating. As of June 11, 2020,
California’s general obligation debt was assigned a rating of Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), AA- by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and AA by Fitch Ratings, Inc.
(“Fitch”). These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be obtained from each such rating agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or
that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the
securities issued by the State, its municipalities, and their political subdivisions, instrumentalities, and authorities.
Other Considerations. Substantially all of
California is within an active geologic region subject to major seismic activity. Northern California, in 1989, and Southern California, in 1994, experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages. California has historically been
susceptible to wildfires and hydrologic variability including drought. Extreme weather, intensified by climate change, has led to an essentially a year-round fire season, with larger and more intense fires. In October and December 2017 wildfires
struck the State, destroying thousands of structures and burning over 500,000 acres and contributing to a 2017 total of more than 1.4 million acres burned. The November 2018 Camp Fire was the single deadliest and most destructive fire in California
history, destroying thousands of structures and burning more than 150,000 acres, bringing the 2018 total to over 1.8 million acres burned. The total costs of the 2017, 2018 and 2019 fires are estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars and
the full economic impacts may not be realized for years. The State’s and any other municipal issuers’ outstanding obligations could be affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or, consequently, income tax
deductions for casualty losses or property tax assessment reductions due to earthquakes or fire. The 2020-2021 Budget estimates the General Fund share of wildfire recovery costs to be $1.1 billion.
The recent wildfires, as well as the
large-scale power shutoffs implemented by the utilities companies for wildfire prevention, have significantly impacted the State’s economy, and there can be no guarantee that future wildfires and related power outages would not have an equally
detrimental effect on the State’s economy or environment.
The State Legislature enacted AB 1054 on
July 12, 2019, to address public utility liability for wildfires by, among other measures, establishing a Wildfire Fund to pay eligible claims arising from certain wildfires. It is anticipated that the State’s three largest public
utilities’ shareholders and their ratepayers (by a charge collected by the public utilities at the direction of the California Public Utilities Commission) will jointly contribute to the Wildfire Fund in an amount up to $21 billion. In
addition to allowing direct transfers of ratepayer charge to the Wildfire Fund, the legislation authorizes the Department of Water Resources to issue up to $10.5 billion in bonds to support the Wildfire Fund, debt service on such bonds to be paid by
the ratepayer charge.
The COVID-19
pandemic has severely weakened the State’s economy. On May 14, 2020, the State reduced its FY 2020 Budget by $19 billion and slashed spending on education, environmental protection and natural resource management. While the State is
anticipated to experience an unprecedented increase in unemployment and job loss, the State’s average wage is projected to grow slightly by 1.4% in 2020, after growing by 3.9% in 2019. The State’s gross personal income is also expected
to decrease by 9% or $230 billion, and unemployment insurance benefits are estimated to cost $43.8 billion. The severity and duration of the pandemic’s effect on the State’s economy are still unknown.
Pennsylvania
Introduction. Although the
economy of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth”) is diverse, the Commonwealth has major components in the education and health services, trade, transportation, and utilities, professional and business services,
manufacturing and leisure and hospitality sectors. Combined with state and local government employment, these sectors account for approximately 84% of the nonagricultural jobs in Pennsylvania as of February 2020. As a result, economic problems or
factors that adversely impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of the Commonwealth’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
The Commonwealth faces significant fiscal
challenges including a structural imbalance and significant underfunding of the Commonwealth’s pension systems. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the country remains uncertain, especially in light of COVID-19 pandemic. An
economic downturn could significantly impact the Commonwealth’s finances and, therefore, its municipal securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in the Commonwealth may affect long-term growth prospects and could cause some municipalities
to experience financial hardship. As a result of these and other factors, the Commonwealth has faced fiscal stress in recent years.
From year-to-year, the Commonwealth may
experience a number of political, social and economic circumstances that influence the Commonwealth’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) persistent structural imbalances; (ii) rising debt
levels; (iii) significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v) developments with respect to the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases, including pandemics and epidemics;
and (vii) U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to the Commonwealth and its municipalities. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that future developments, including events affecting the
Commonwealth’s economic or fiscal condition, will not have a materially adverse impact on the Commonwealth’s fiscal position. Any deterioration in the Commonwealth’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the
marketability, liquidity, or value of the securities issued by the Commonwealth and its municipalities, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. According to the
U.S. Department of Commerce, residents of Pennsylvania received over $752 billion in estimated personal income in 2019. As a result, residents of Pennsylvania had a per capita income of $58,775, which compared favorably to the national average of
$56,663 over the same period.
Pennsylvania’ s civilian labor force
consists of approximately 6.1 million individuals. As of February 2020, Pennsylvania had an unemployment rate of approximately 4.7%, which was up from 4.1% from September 2019. Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate was above the national average of
3.5% during the same period. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, Pennsylvania’s unemployment rate spiked 15.1% in April 2020. The length of this increase remains unknown.
Despite the Commonwealth’s modest
economic growth, low inflation, and improving labor and housing markets, Pennsylvania’s municipal issuers face pressure from a number of economic and fiscal factors. Some of the challenges faced by municipal issuers include operating deficits,
debt burden, and pension fund contributions, among others. Several municipalities in the Commonwealth are subject to continuing financial oversight, including the city of Harrisburg, the Commonwealth’s capital city, and Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh, the two largest cities in the Commonwealth. Due to the current conditions facing many local governments in the Commonwealth, it is possible that additional municipalities may be subjected to oversight, attempt to file for bankruptcy
protection or may be forced take other extraordinary measures to avoid any such bankruptcy in the future.
Budget. On February 4, 2020, the Governor
proposed a $36.1 billion General Fund budget for FY2021 (“Proposed Budget”), which represents an increase of approximately 4.22%, from the previous fiscal year. The Proposed Budget projected General Fund net revenues of $37.3 billion, a
decrease of 4.5% from estimated FY2020 revenues. Approximately $15.5 billion of the estimated revenue would be derived from personal income taxes, $12.2 billion from sales and use taxes and $3.7 billion from corporate income taxes. Based on these
projected revenues, the Proposed Budget would be balanced for FY2021, resulting in an estimated $4 million surplus, which is comparatively higher than the estimated FY2020 General Fund ending balance of $3 million.
The Proposed Budget appropriated $14 billion
for education; approximately $14.4 billion for health and human services; $2.6 billion for criminal justice; and $1.2 billion to service the Commonwealth’s outstanding debt.
The Constitution of Pennsylvania requires
the Governor to submit a balanced budget and prohibits the General Assembly from appropriating monies in excess of actual and estimated revenues and surplus. The Proposed Budget includes savings and efficiencies to reduce annual expenditure growth
far below historic trends. If revenues fall short of expectations, the Commonwealth could encounter future budget deficits. Any such deterioration in the Commonwealth’s fiscal condition could negatively impact the value of securities issued by
the Commonwealth and its municipalities, which may in turn impact the performance of a fund.
On May 29, 2020, the Governor signed into
law an interim budget for 2020-2021 (“Enacted Budget”). The Enacted Budget accounts for economic concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and was designed to give the Commonwealth a better understanding of the pandemic’s economic
impact. The Enacted Budget encompasses two parts and must be passed in two waves, the first covering the first 5 months of FY2020 and the second covering the remainder of the year. As a result, the Enacted Budget anticipates total General Fund
revenues of $25.8 billion, which represents a decrease of $8.3 billion or 24.4% compared to FY2019. The long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic stability of the Commonwealth remains uncertain.
Retirement Systems. As evidenced by
substantial governmental outlays in recent years, underfunded pension plans continue to add spending pressure to the Commonwealth’s budget. The Commonwealth maintains contributory benefit pension plans covering all public school employees,
state employees, and employees of certain state-related organizations. These programs are funded by contributions from both the employer, which may include the Commonwealth, and the employees. Public school employees are members of the Public School
Employees’ Retirement System (“PSERS”). State employees and employees of certain state-related organizations are members of the State Employees’ Retirement System (“SERS”). With certain exceptions, membership in
the applicable retirement system is mandatory for covered employees. As of June 22, 2020, PSERS had over 600,000 participating active and retired members. Similarly, as of June 22, 2020, SERS had approximately 239,000 active and retired
members.
The employer net pension
liability for each of PSERS and SERS was $290 million (as of June 30, 2019) and $17.2 billion (as of June 30, 2019), respectively. As a result, the ratio of fiduciary net position to total pension liability for each of PSERS and SERS was .6043% (as
of June 30, 2018) and 56.4% (as of June 30, 2019), respectively.
To address its pension funding crisis, the
Commonwealth enacted legislation in 2017 to reform its pension systems. Under this legislation, beginning in July 2019, new members will have the option to choose between certain hybrid defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans or a pure
defined-contribution plan. In addition, this legislation required the establishment of a commission to review the operation and investment processes of PSERS and SERS as well as develop a plan to identify $1.5 billion in cost savings over 30 years
for each system. In December 2018, the commission reported that they had identified an estimated annual savings opportunity for both retirement systems, in the range of $97.3 million to $116.8 million, or, expressed as an actuarial savings over 30
years, between $8.2 billion and $9.9 billion. There can be no assurance that such cost savings measures will be implemented. In addition, if more money is diverted to pension contributions, the state may have less resources available to meet its
debt obligations (including related to debt held by the Fund), which could impact the credit rating and marketability of its municipal bonds.
In addition to a defined benefit pension
plan for state employees and employees of certain state-related organizations, the Commonwealth also provides health care plans for its eligible retirees and their qualifying dependents. These and similar plans are commonly referred to as
“other post-employment benefits” or “OPEBs.” The Commonwealth provides OPEBs under two plans. The Retired Pennsylvania State Police Program provides collectively bargained benefits to retired state enlisted members and their
dependents. The Retired Employee Health Program provides Commonwealth-determined benefits to other retired state employees and their dependents.
Because the Commonwealth may be responsible
for paying portions of the difference between the benefits paid and the contributions received by the systems, these unfunded liabilities may present a significant risk to the Commonwealth’s fiscal condition. Should the Commonwealth be
required to make any
additional contributions to these systems, the Commonwealth would likely have
to reduce funding for other priorities, which may include payments on its outstanding debt obligations. Alternatively, the Commonwealth may be forced to raise revenue or issue additional debt. Either outcome could increase the pressure on the
Commonwealth’s budget, which could have an adverse impact on a fund’s investments in Pennsylvania.
Debt. The Commonwealth is permitted by its
Constitution to incur the following types of debt: (i) debt to suppress insurrection or rehabilitate areas affected by disaster, (ii) electorate-approved debt, (iii) debt for capital projects subject to an aggregate debt limit of 1.75 times the
annual average tax revenues of the preceding five fiscal years, and (iv) tax anticipation notes payable in the fiscal year of issuance. All debt, except debt incurred through the issuance of tax anticipation notes must be amortized in substantial
and regular amounts.
Debt service on
Commonwealth general obligation debt is paid from appropriations out of the General Fund, except for debt issued for highway purposes, which is paid from Motor License Fund appropriations. As of June 30, 2019, the Commonwealth had outstanding
general obligation debt of $10.2 billion, which represents a decrease of $2.25 billion from June 30, 2018.
Certain state-created organizations have
statutory authorization to issue debt for which state appropriations to pay debt service thereon are not required. The debt of these organizations is funded by assets of, or revenues derived from, the various projects financed and is not a statutory
or moral obligation of the Commonwealth. However, some of these organizations are indirectly dependent upon Commonwealth operating appropriations. In addition, the Commonwealth may choose to take action to financially assist these
organizations.
Moral obligations. The
Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (“PHFA”) is a state-created agency that provides financing for housing for lower and moderate income families in the Commonwealth. As of June 30, 2019, PHFA had $363.9 million of limited obligation
bonds outstanding.
Other Commonwealth
obligations. The Commonwealth also has obligations with respect to, the bonds and debt obligations of, among other things, (i) the Commonwealth Financing Authority, which is authorized to issue limited obligation revenue bonds and other types of
limited obligation revenue financing for the purposes of promoting the health, safety, employment, business opportunities, economic activity and general welfare of the Commonwealth and its citizens through loans, grants, guarantees, leases, lines
and letters of credit and other financing arrangements to benefit both for-profit and non-profit entities, (ii) the Sports and Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County in connection with the construction and operation of the
Pittsburgh Arena, a multi-purpose arena, to serve as the home of the Pittsburgh Penguins, a hockey team in the National Hockey League, and (iii) the Pennsylvania Convention Center located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the expansion
thereto.
Litigation. The Commonwealth,
its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the Commonwealth might
require the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such
proceedings, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit rating. As of June 20, 2020,
Pennsylvania’s general obligation debt was assigned a rating of Aa3 by Moody’s, A+ by S&P and AA- by Fitch). These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be obtained from each such
rating agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. A
downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and their political subdivisions, instrumentalities, and authorities.
Reductions in the credit ratings on
Pennsylvania’s general obligation bonds could weaken the demand for securities issued by the Commonwealth, its agencies or instrumentalities, which may reduce the opportunities for those issuers to obtain financing.
New Jersey
Introduction. Although the
economy of the State of New Jersey (“State”) is diverse, it has major components in the trade, transportation, and utilities sector; the education and health services sector; the professional and business sector; and the government
sector. As these sectors represent the largest share of employment in the State, economic problems or factors that negatively impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of the State’s municipal securities.
The State faces significant fiscal
challenges including significant underfunding of the State’s pension systems. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the country remains uncertain, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic downturn could
significantly hurt the State and its finances and, therefore, its municipal securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in the State continues to rise, which may hurt long-term growth prospects and could cause some municipalities to experience
financial hardship. As a result of these and other factors, the State has faced fiscal stress in recent years.
From year-to-year, the State may experience
a number of political, social and economic circumstances that influence the State’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) persistent structural imbalances; (ii) rising debt levels; (iii)
significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v) developments with respect to the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases, including pandemics and epidemics; and (vii) U.S.
federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to the State and its municipalities.
Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that
future developments, including events affecting the State’s economic or fiscal condition, will not have a materially adverse impact on the State’s finances. Any deterioration in the State’s financial condition may have a negative
effect on the marketability, liquidity or value of the securities issued by the State and its municipalities, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. According to the
U.S. Department of Commerce, residents of New Jersey received over $630 billion in estimated personal income in 2019. As a result, residents of New Jersey had a per capita income of $70,979, which compared favorably to the national average of
$56,663 over the same period. In 2019, New Jersey’s gross state product rose 1.5%. However, this rate lagged behind 2.3% growth rate at the national level during the same period.
New Jersey’s civilian labor force
consists of approximately 4.5 million individuals. As of February 2020, New Jersey had an unemployment rate of approximately 3.8%, which was up from 3.6% in February 2019. New Jersey’s unemployment rate was below the national average of 3.5%
during the same period.
New Jersey
nonfarm employment increased by an average of 4,366 jobs per month in 2019, for a total gain of 52,400 jobs, compared to an average total gain of 43,488 jobs per year from 2011 to 2018. However, the COVID-19 pandemic drastically reversed these gains
and unemployment spiked to 15.3% in April 2020, a twenty-year high.
Current fiscal pressure continues to present
significant risks for New Jersey issuers. Any deterioration in the current economic conditions would likely have a materially adverse impact on the ability of both State and local governments to satisfy the payment obligations on their outstanding
debt. For example, any significant reduction in the State’s exports would likely result in higher unemployment and lower tax revenues. Although the actual impact of a future economic downturn on fiscal and economic conditions in New Jersey is
unknown, it is likely that the State would perform considerably weaker than current estimates project.
Budget. On February 25, 2020, the Governor
presented the proposed budget for FY2021 (“Proposed Budget”). The Proposed Budget recommended appropriations of $40.85 billion, an increase of approximately 2.2% from FY2020. The Proposed Budget forecasted total General Fund revenues of
$41.2 billion, gross
income tax revenues of $17.8 billion, sales tax revenues of $10.8 billion and
corporate business tax revenues of $3.8 billion. The Governor’s Proposed Budget left a projected surplus of $891 million for FY2022.
State Aid represented the largest single
expenditure in the Proposed Budget. The Governor’s proposal appropriated $17.8 billion or nearly half of the Proposed Budget for State Aid. The Proposed Budget also requested $12 billion for Grants-in-Aid, $3.8 billion to fund State government
operations, $3.4 billion for State employee benefits, rent and utilities, and $2.9 billion for debt service.
In April 2020, the New Jersey Treasury
reported that total tax collections fell $3.5 billion below April 2019 figures, which represents a decrease of 59.7%. Corporate and individual income tax had the largest declines, from 60% to 90%, due to delays in payment, as temporarily allowed by
law.
On May 22, 2020, the Governor of
New Jersey released an update to the State budget for FY2021 to account for an estimated $10 billion in lost revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To mitigate these losses, the State plans to de-appropriate $1.321 billion and modify other
appropriations as necessary. In the coming months, the State expects to receive over $4 billion in federal aid, including $2.393 billion from the Coronavirus Relief Fund and $750 million from the FEMA Disaster Act Fund. The full effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain.
Retirement Systems. As evidenced by
substantial governmental outlays in recent years, underfunded pension plans continue to add spending pressure to the State’s budget. Almost all of the public employees of the State and its counties, municipalities and political subdivisions
are members of pension plans administered by the State. The State operates seven defined benefit pension plans, the largest of which are the Public Employees’ Retirement System (“PERS”) and the Teachers’ Pension and Annuity
Fund (“TPAF”). As of July 1, 2017, the total net pension liability for each of PERS and TPAF was $48.9 billion and $67.7 billion, respectively. As a result, as of July 1, 2017, the ratio of fiduciary net position to total pension
liability for each of PERS and TPAF was 36.8% and 25.4%, respectively. Because the State may be responsible for paying portions of the difference between the benefits paid and the contributions received by the systems, these unfunded liabilities may
present a significant risk to the State’s fiscal condition. Should the State be required to make any additional contributions to these systems, the State would likely have to reduce funding for other priorities, which may include payments on
its outstanding debt obligations. Alternatively, the State may be forced to raise revenue or issue additional debt. Either outcome could increase the pressure on the State’s budget, which could have an adverse impact on a fund’s
investments in New Jersey.
Debt. New
Jersey has a substantial amount of long-term debt outstanding. The State’s long-term debt is divided into non-bonded obligations and bonded obligations. Non-bonded obligations represent long-term obligations of the State, but have not been
financed with bonds or other publicly traded financial securities. Bonded obligations of the State include general obligation bonds for which the full faith and credit of the State is pledged. Bonded obligations also include bonds issued by State
Authorities for which the State has agreed to make payments in amounts sufficient to cover the debt service on the Authority’s bonds. These payments are subject to annual appropriation by the State Legislature. Although the State Legislature
has no legal obligation to enact such appropriations, it has done so for all such obligations to date. As of June 30, 2018, the total amount of general obligation debt outstanding was $1.55 billion. The total FY2020 appropriation for debt service on
general obligation bonds is $343 million.
To provide effective cash flow management,
the State may issue tax and revenue anticipation notes (“TRANs”). TRANs do not constitute a general obligation of the State or a debt or liability within the meaning of the State Constitution. Rather, TRANS are special obligations of the
State payable solely from monies on deposit in the General Fund and the Property Tax Relief Fund and legally available for such payment. On July 31, 2019 the State Treasurer entered into Note Purchase Contracts in connection with the planned
issuance of TRANs in an aggregate amount up to $2 billion during the first half of FY2020.
Litigation. The State, its officials and
employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which, if decided against the State, might require the State to make
significant future
expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the
prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what
impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit rating. As of June 11, 2020, New
Jersey’s general obligation bonds were rated A3 by Moody’s, A- by S&P and A- by Fitch, each with a negative outlook. These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be obtained from
each such rating agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so
warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by the State, its municipalities, and their political subdivisions, instrumentalities, and authorities.
In addition, a reduction in the credit
ratings on New Jersey’s general obligation bonds could weaken the demand for securities issued by the State, its agencies or instrumentalities, which may reduce the opportunities for those issuers to obtain financing.
New York
Introduction. Although the
economy of the State of New York (“State”) is diverse, the State is heavily dependent on the financial activities sector, which accounts for a significant portion of the State’s employment and wages. In addition, the State has
large concentrations in the education and health services sector; the trade, transportation and utilities sector; professional and business services sector; and the government sector. As these sectors represent the largest share of employment in the
State, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of the State’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
From year-to-year, the State may experience
a number of political, social and economic circumstances that influence the State’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) rising debt levels; (ii) revenue volatility; (iii) developments with
respect to the U.S. and world economies; and (iv) U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to the State and its municipalities.
Furthermore, there can be no assurances that
the State will not continue to face fiscal stress or that such circumstances will not become more difficult in the future. There can also be no guarantee that current or future economic conditions or federal actions will not have a materially
adverse impact on the State’s fiscal position. Any deterioration in the State’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the marketability, liquidity or value of the securities issued by the State, which could reduce the
performance of a fund.
Current
Economic Climate. New York’s civilian labor force consists of approximately 9.5 million individuals. As of February 2020, New York had an unemployment rate of approximately 3.7%, which was down from 4% one year prior, and above the national
average of 3.5% during February 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York’s unemployment rate spiked to 14.5% in April 2020.
From April 2019 to April 2020, the number of
nonfarm jobs (private plus public sectors) in New York decreased by 1,895,100, or 19.4%, and the number of private sector jobs decreased by 1,834,800, or 22.1%. During this period, the leisure and hospitality, educational and health services, and
professional and business services sectors suffered job losses of 638,000, 227,200, and 190,500, respectively. The Division of the Budget of the State of New York (“DOB”) expects private sector employment to shed jobs starting from the
first quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021 on a year-over-year basis. Private sector employment is estimated to decline 7.5% in 2020 and recover in 2021 to a growth rate of 3.1%.
The State’s updated economic outlook
for FY 2021 is bleak. Most key measures of economic output are expected to drop sharply in comparison to FY 2020. DOB forecasts that nonfarm employment will fall by 7%; total wages will fall by 7.2%, and personal income and wages (excluding bonuses)
will fall by 2.2%.
Financial and insurance sector bonuses, an important source of personal
income tax collections, are expected to drop by 50%. The State’s unemployment rate is expected to average 11.4%, a level higher than any recorded.
New York City is the nation’s leading
center for banking and finance and, as a result, this is a far more important sector for the State than for the nation as a whole. Although this sector accounts for less than one-tenth of all nonagricultural jobs in the State, it contributes about
one-fifth of total wages.
New
York’s economy is subject to many of the same risks facing the national economy, such as reduced demand for goods and services due to slowing economies abroad, particularly in Europe and Asia, the effects of the Federal Reserve’s
interest rate policies, and the continued volatility in energy markets. This international weakness may cause a continued increase in the value of the dollar, which may slow exports and overseas business and thus negatively impact the State.
Furthermore, the State’s economy remains heavily dependent on the U.S. economy and transfers from the federal government. As a result, any downturn in the national economy would likely have a negative impact on the State’s economy and
fiscal position. Similarly, because of New York’s status as a global financial center, national events that affect financial markets, such as the gradual implementation of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the
COVID-19 pandemic, may have a disproportionate impact on the State’s economy. Because many New York issuers continue to face fiscal pressure, any deterioration in current fiscal or economic conditions would likely have an adverse impact on the
ability of such issuers to satisfy the payment obligations on their outstanding debt.
Budget. The Governor proposed the FY 2021
Executive Budget Financial Plan (“Executive Budget”) on January 21, 2020, and amendments on February 14, 2020. The Executive Budget reflected a proposed $105.8 billion in State Operating Funds spending for FY 2021, an annual increase of
$1.9 billion or 1.9%.
However, the
COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on New York’s economic activity has rendered the Executive Budget’s estimates obsolete, and on April 2, 2020, the Governor adopted the Enacted Budget Financial Plan (“Enacted Budget”). In the
Enacted Budget, the State has reduced the FY 2021 estimate for General Fund receipts by $13.3 billion. Disbursements, including transfers to other funds, are estimated at $73.2 billion or 5.6% below FY 2020 levels. Furthermore, the General Fund
closing balance is estimated to be $6.7 billion, a decrease of $2.2 billion from FY 2020.
Steep reductions have also been made to
estimates for General Fund tax receipts, lottery and gaming revenues that support School Aid, and tax receipts to the Dedicated Highway and Bridge Trust Fund. The dramatic decline in General Fund receipts is forecasted to carry through each
subsequent year of the Enacted Budget, for a total loss of $60.5 billion through FY 2024.
The Enacted Budget assumes that the Federal
government will fully fund the State’s direct costs resulting from its pandemic response. Aid is expected through FEMA disaster assistance grants and aid, as well as the Coronavirus Relief Fund. As of April 24, 2020, the United States Treasury
has deposited $5.1 billion, the State’s share of the Coronavirus Relief Fund, into the State Treasury. The State intends to charge eligible costs to the Coronavirus Relief Fund during the fiscal year. The funds deposited in the State Treasury
will provide budgetary liquidity to the State until they are used to fund or reimburse pandemic-eligible expenditures.
The long-term effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on New York’s economy remain uncertain.
Storms in recent years, including Superstorm
Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Tropical Storm Lee, have demonstrated vulnerabilities in the State’s infrastructure (including mass transit systems, power transmission and distribution systems, and other critical lifelines) to extreme weather
events including coastal flooding caused by storm surges. The State continues to recover from the damage sustained during three powerful storms that crippled entire regions. In August 2011, Hurricane Irene disrupted power and caused extensive
flooding in various State counties. In September 2011, Tropical Storm Lee caused flooding in additional State counties and, in some cases, exacerbated the damage caused by Hurricane Irene two weeks earlier. On October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy
struck the East Coast, causing widespread infrastructure damage and economic losses to the greater New York region. The frequency and intensity of these storms present
economic and financial risks to the State. Reimbursement claims for costs of
the immediate response, recovery, and future mitigation efforts continue, largely supported by Federal Funds. In January 2013, the Federal government approved approximately $60 billion in Federal disaster aid for general recovery, rebuilding, and
mitigation activity nationwide. It is anticipated that the State, its localities, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority may receive approximately one-half of this amount for response, recovery, and mitigation costs. To date, a total of $17
billion has been committed to repairing impacted homes and businesses, restoring community services, and mitigating future storm risks across the State. There can be no assurance that all anticipated Federal disaster aid described above will be
provided to the State and its affected entities over the coming years.
Local Governments. With a population of over
8.6 million, New York City (the “City”) is the economic engine that drives growth in the region. As a result, the fiscal condition of the State is closely tied to the fiscal condition of the City. Currently, the City is facing certain
fiscal challenges, such as large structural budget deficits, relatively high unemployment, slow wage growth, and significant underfunding of the City’s retirement systems and other post-employment benefits, which may impact the City’s
fiscal condition. In addition, the City has a significant amount of public debt outstanding. As of June 30, 2019, New York City’s outstanding general obligation debt totaled $37.52 billion, while the City’s primary government debt
totaled $95.5 billion. Because the City relies on State aid to balance its budget and meet its cash requirements, any increased pressure on the City’s finances could increase pressure on State finances.
Moreover, certain localities outside New
York City have experienced financial problems and have requested and received additional State assistance during the last several years. While a relatively infrequent practice, deficit financing by local governments has become more common in recent
years. Additionally, the State has periodically enacted legislation to create oversight boards in order to address deteriorating fiscal conditions within a locality.
Like the State, local governments must
respond to changing political, economic and financial conditions over which they have little or no control, but which can adversely affect their financial position. For example, the State or Federal government may reduce (or, in some cases,
eliminate) funding of local programs, thus requiring local governments to pay these expenditures using their own resources. Similarly, past cash flow problems for the State have resulted in delays in State aid payments to localities. In some cases,
these delays have necessitated short-term borrowing at the local level. A reduction in State aid or federal funding, as well as constraints on revenue generation, may cause localities to suffer serious financial difficulties that could jeopardize
their access to the public credit markets and potentially affect the marketability of their securities. As a result, these economic and fiscal conditions could cause a locality to file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code in the future.
Debt. State law
restricts the issuance of State-supported debt to capital purposes only and limits such debt to a maximum term of 30 years. State law also limits the amount of new State-supported debt to 4% of State personal income and new State-supported debt
service costs to 5% of all State funds receipts. Once these caps are met, the State is prohibited from issuing any new State supported debt until such time as the State’s debt is found to be within the applicable limits. As of March 31, 2020,
the State had $2.13 billion in general obligation bonds outstanding. It is estimated that this figure will rise to $2.8 billion over FY 2021. The total amount of general obligation bonds authorized but not issued at March 31, 2020 was $2.454
billion. As of March 31, 2020, the State had $54.975 billion in bonds, notes, and other financing agreements outstanding compared to $59.6 billion in 2019, which represents a decrease of $4.625 billion.
As part of its cash management program, the
General Fund is authorized to borrow resources temporarily from other available funds in the State’s short-term investment pool (“STIP”) for up to four months, or until the end of the fiscal year, whichever period is shorter. The
amount of resources that can be borrowed by the General Fund is limited to the available balances in STIP. The State is expected to have sufficient liquidity to make payments as they become due for the remainder of FY2020. The State continues to
reserve money on a quarterly basis for debt service payments that are financed with General Fund resources.
Pension and Other Benefits. The New York
State and Local Retirement System (the “System”) provides pension benefits to public employees of the State and its local governments, with the exception of employees of New York City. The System consists primarily of the State and Local
Employees’ Retirement System (“ERS”) and the New York State and Local Police and Fire Retirement System (“PFRS”). The Net Pension Liability (“NPL”) for ERS was $7.09 billion for the measurement period ended
March 31, 2019, as compared to $3.23 billion for the measurement period ended March 31, 2018. The fiduciary net position, restricted for pension benefits as of March 31, 2019, was $182.72 billion, which represents 96.27% of the calculated total
pension liability for ERS. The NPL for PFRS was $1.68 billion for the measurement period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $1.01 billion for the measurement period ended March 31, 2018. The fiduciary net position, restricted for pension benefits
as of March 31, 2019, was $32.45 billion, which represents 95.09% of the calculated total pension liability for PFRS.
In addition to pension benefits, the State
also provides certain other post-employment benefits (“OPEB”), such as health care, for eligible retired employees of the State. Because the State currently funds its OPEB costs on a “pay-as-you-go” basis, the State has
amassed large unfunded actuarial liabilities with respect to its OPEB obligations. The State recognized a total OPEB liability of $50.9 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
Because the State may ultimately be
responsible for paying the difference between the benefits paid and the contributions received by the System or for unfunded amounts related to OPEB, any unfunded liabilities pose a significant risk to the State’s fiscal condition. In
addition, with more money diverted to pension contributions, the State may have less resources available to meet its debt obligations (including related to debt held by the Fund), which could impact the credit rating and marketability of its
municipal bonds.
Litigation. The
State, its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the State might
require the State to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings,
estimate the potential impact on the ability of the State to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit Rating. As of June 11, 2020, New
York’s general obligation debt was assigned a rating of Aa1 by Moody’s and AA+ by both S&P and Fitch. These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be obtained from each such rating
agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency, circumstances so warrant. A downward
revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by the State, its municipalities, and their political subdivisions, instrumentalities, and authorities.
Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico
Introduction.
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the “Commonwealth”) is in the midst of a profound fiscal, economic and liquidity crisis, the culmination of many years of significant governmental deficits, a prolonged economic recession (which commenced
in 2006), high unemployment, population decline, and high levels of debt and pension obligations. Further stressing the Commonwealth’s liquidity are large healthcare, pension and debt service costs. As the Commonwealth’s tax base has
shrunk and its revenues affected by prevailing economic conditions, healthcare, pension, and debt service costs have become an increasing portion of the General Fund budget, which has resulted in reduced funding available for other essential
services. The Commonwealth’s very high level of debt and unfunded pension liabilities and the resulting required allocation of revenue to service debt and pension obligations have contributed to significant budget deficits during the past
several years, which deficits the Commonwealth has financed, further increasing the amount of its debt. Certain issuers of Puerto Rico municipal securities have failed to make payments on obligations that have come due, and additional missed
payments and defaults may be
likely to occur in the future. These financial challenges have been
compounded by the two hurricanes that impacted the Commonwealth in 2017, which caused more than $80 billion dollars in damage.
On June 30, 2016, the Puerto Rico Oversight,
Management, and Economic Stability Act (“PROMESA”) was signed into law by President Obama. PROMESA established a federally-appointed oversight board (the “Oversight Board”) to oversee the Commonwealth’s financial
operations and allows the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities, with approval of the Oversight Board, to file cases to restructure debt and other obligations in a “Title III” proceeding. U.S. territories do not have the ability to file
for bankruptcy under the federal Bankruptcy Code. Title III incorporates many provisions of the federal Bankruptcy Code, and incorporates legal mechanisms for a litigation stay and restructuring of pension and debt obligations, among other
provisions. Title III petitions were filed for, among others, the Commonwealth, the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation, and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, three of the largest issuers of Commonwealth debt. It is possible that
petitions under Title III or other provisions of PROMESA, including Title VI, for additional Commonwealth instrumentalities will be filed in the future. These restructuring proceedings create uncertainty as to the treatment of claims of varying
degrees of seniority in the levels and priorities of payment from the affected entities.
Puerto Rico’s economy has major
components in Trade, Transportation and Utilities, Professional and Business Services, and Education and Health Services. In addition, government agencies at the local and federal levels employ a significant number of the Commonwealth’s
residents. Based on March 2020 data, these sectors employed 59% of the Commonwealth’s workers. Because these sectors represent the largest share of employment in the Commonwealth, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these
sectors may have a negative effect on the value of the Commonwealth’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
There can be no assurances that the
Commonwealth will not continue to face severe fiscal stress or that such circumstances will not become even more difficult in the future. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that future developments will not have a materially adverse impact on
the Commonwealth’s finances. Any deterioration in the Commonwealth’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the payment of principal and interest, the marketability, liquidity or value of the securities issued by the
Commonwealth, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. Data show that
residents of Puerto Rico received $85.01 billion in estimated personal income in FY2018. As a result, residents of Puerto Rico had an estimated per capita income of $26,610, far below the national average of $63,690 during the same period.
Puerto Rico’s civilian labor force
consists of approximately 1.05 million individuals. As of February 2020, Puerto Rico had an unemployment rate of approximately 8.8%, which was up from 8.7% in February 2019, and is, significantly higher than the national average of 3.5% during
February 2020. Puerto Rico’s high unemployment continues a trend of high unemployment rates and a shrinking workforce in the Commonwealth.
On May 1, 2018, the Commonwealth filed a
notice with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board’s Electronic Municipal Market Access (EMMA) that the Commonwealth would not file its audited financial statements for FY2017, as required by its continuing disclosure undertakings. On May
1, 2019, the Commonwealth filed a notice with EMMA that the Commonwealth would not file its audited financial statements for FY2018, as required by its continuing disclosure undertakings. On April 30, 2020, the Commonwealth once more filed a notice
with EMMA certifying that it would not file its audited financial statements for FY2019, continuing this trend. The Commonwealth has not provided an estimate of when it will be able to complete and file those audited financial statements.
On May 6, 2019, the Commonwealth filed its
audited financial statements with EMMA for FY2016. The total aggregate amount of assets plus deferred outflows of resources and total liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources of the primary government as of June 30, 2016 amounted to
approximately $19 billion and $89.3 billion, respectively, for a net deficit of approximately $70.3 billion, compared to a net deficit of approximately $67.8 billion as of June 30, 2015 (restated). As was also noted in the 2014 and 2015
audited
financial statements, the 2016 audited financial statements noted that there
is substantial doubt as to the ability of the primary government and of various component units to continue as a going concern.
Puerto Rico’s economy is closely
linked to the economy of the United States, as most of the external factors that affect the Commonwealth’s economy (other than oil prices) are determined by the policies and performance of the mainland economy. In recent years, however, the
performance of Puerto Rico’s economy has significantly diverged from the performance of the United States economy. Puerto Rico’s economy entered into a recession in the fourth quarter of FY2006, two years before the rest of the United
States, and has continued to face substantial economic challenges. In May 2018, the Oversight Board projected that the Commonwealth’s real gross national product declined by 13.3% on a year-over-year basis, due, in part, to adverse effects
from hurricanes that impacted the Commonwealth in 2017 (as discussed below). In addition, in December 2017, Congress enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which subjects companies located in the Commonwealth to a tax on income generated from certain
intellectual property. Previously, companies located in the Commonwealth had been exempt from paying federal income taxes on such income. It is not presently possible to predict the extent of the impact that the tax will have on the
Commonwealth’s economy. In May 2020, the Oversight Board noted that since the 2008 recession the Commonwealth’s economy has continued to worsen – Puerto Rico has seen its gross national product shrink by 20%, labor participation
fallen to a record low of 39%, and the Island’s population fallen by 15%.
Fiscal Plan and Budget. The Commonwealth has
faced a number of significant fiscal challenges, including a structural imbalance between its General Fund revenues and expenditures. Such challenges contributed to the passage of PROMESA, which established the Oversight Board and empowered it to
approve Puerto Rico’s fiscal plans and budgets. The Oversight Board is comprised of seven members appointed by the President who are nominated by a bipartisan selection process. The budget process requires the Oversight Board, the Governor,
and the Commonwealth’s Legislative Assembly to develop a budget that complies with the fiscal plan developed by the Oversight Board and the Governor.
In June 2017, the Oversight Board issued a
notice of non-compliance in connection with the appropriations bill submitted by the Governor and Legislative Assembly for FY2018. The Governor and the Legislative Assembly were unable to take the necessary corrective actions that the Oversight
Board outlined in its notice of non-compliance by the applicable deadline. Accordingly, the Oversight Board unanimously adopted a resolution approving the certification of a revised, compliant budget for the Commonwealth for FY2018 (“FY2018
Budget”). The FY2018 Budget provided for General Fund revenues of approximately $9.6 billion against $9.6 billion in General Fund appropriations. For FY2019, the Commonwealth reported $11.28 billion in General Fund revenues, an increase of
34.5% from the Oversight Board's original projection. However, for FY2020, the Commonwealth expects General Fund revenues to decrease 13% from FY2019 levels.
Following the natural disasters described
below and the resulting impact on the Commonwealth’s infrastructure and economy, the Oversight Board requested the Commonwealth (and certain of its instrumentalities) to submit new fiscal plans that took into account the impact of the natural
disasters. The Oversight Board certified a revised fiscal plan (“Revised Fiscal Plan”) for the Commonwealth in May 2018. The Revised Fiscal Plan provided for approximately $8.5 billion in General Fund revenue against $8.6 billion in
General Fund appropriations. The Governor and Legislative Assembly submitted a proposed budget to the Oversight Board on June 1, 2018, and the Oversight Board unanimously determined on June 5, 2018 that the proposed budget was non-compliant with the
Revised Fiscal Plan.
On June 29, 2018,
the Oversight Board informed the Commonwealth of its intention to certify a revised version of the Fiscal Plan. Following disagreements with the Governor and Legislative Assembly, the Oversight Board approved its own version of the fiscal year 2019
budget, which was supposed to take effect on July 1, 2018 and provides for $8.8 billion in General Fund allocations. The Governor and Legislative Assembly had also passed their own version of the fiscal year 2019 budget, and the Governor and
Legislative Assembly filed separate suits to enjoin the Oversight Board’s fiscal year 2019 budget from taking effect. In August 2018, the U.S. district court ruled in favor of the Oversight Board, holding that PROMESA empowered the Oversight
Board to make fiscal policy choices to which the Commonwealth must adhere,
but that the Oversight Board itself was not empowered to enact laws on behalf
of the Commonwealth. After negotiations with the Governor on a revised Fiscal Plan for FY2019 did not lead to an agreement, on October 23, 2018, the Oversight Board certified its own revised Fiscal Plan for FY2019. The Governor has stated that he
disagrees with certain provisions and has indicated that the Commonwealth may not comply with these provisions.
On May 11, 2019, the Oversight Board
notified the Commonwealth, that the proposed Commonwealth of Puerto Rico budget for FY2020, submitted to the Oversight Board on March 28, 2019, was not compliant with the revised version of the 2019 Fiscal Plan for Puerto Rico as certified by the
Oversight Board on May 9, 2019.
Investors should be aware that Puerto Rico
relies heavily on transfers from the federal government related to specific programs and activities in the Commonwealth. These transfers include, among others, entitlements for previously performed services, or those resulting from contributions to
programs such as Social Security, Veterans’ Benefits, Medicare and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions, as well as grants such as Nutritional Assistance Program grants and Pell Grant scholarships for higher education. There is considerable
uncertainty about which federal policy changes may be enacted in the coming years and the economic impact of those changes. Due to the Commonwealth’s dependence on federal transfers, any actions that reduce or alter these transfers may cause
increased fiscal stress in Puerto Rico, which may have a negative effect on the value of the Commonwealth’s municipal securities.
Retirement Systems. The Commonwealth’s
retirement systems include the Employees Retirement System (“ERS”), the Teachers Retirement System (“TRS”) and the Judiciary Retirement System (“JRS” and together with the ERS and TRS, the “Pension
Systems”). The Pension Systems are severely underfunded and are projected to deplete their assets in the near future. As of July 1, 2016, the total actuarial liabilities for the ERS, the TRS and the JRS were approximately $38.0 billion, $18.0
billion and $700 million, respectively. The total annual benefits due from the ERS, TRS and JRS for FY2018 totaled approximately $1.7 billion, $800,000, and $28 million, respectively. In 2017, the Legislative Assembly enacted laws to reform the
operation and funding of the Pension Systems. Those laws required the ERS to sell its assets and transfer the proceeds to the General Fund. In addition, employer contributions to the Pension Systems, which had been operating on a
“pay-as-you-go” basis, were eliminated, and the General Fund assumed any payments that the Pension Systems could not make. As was noted in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 audited financial statements, substantial doubt exists about each of the
retirement systems’ ability to continue as a going concern.
The Oversight Board reported in its 2020
plan that, in an attempt to avoid future pension liabilities, the benefit accruals of the TRS and JRS must be frozen by July 1, 2021. Along with freezes to other pension programs, the Oversight Board expects to see up to $300 million in yearly
benefits by 2041, which may play a significant role in restoring long-term funding.
The Commonwealth may have to make additional
contributions to the Pension Systems, which could result in reduced funding for other priorities, including payments on its outstanding debt obligations. Alternatively, the Commonwealth may be forced to raise revenue or issue additional debt. Either
outcome could increase the pressure on the Commonwealth’s budget, which could have an adverse impact on a fund’s investments in Puerto Rico.
Debt. Certain of the Commonwealth’s
component units defaulted on debt service payments during fiscal year 2016. As a result, the Governor issued several executive orders declaring emergency periods and suspending certain transfers and payments with respect to the Commonwealth and
several of its component units. It is expected that the Commonwealth and its component units will need to seek further relief under existing or potential future laws regarding receivership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and/or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights, to the extent available.
On July 1, 2016, the Commonwealth and
various additional component units were unable to comply with their scheduled debt service obligations, and defaulted on $911 million of their scheduled debt obligations, including $779 million in general obligation debt service. Since 2016, the
Commonwealth has
continued to default on debt service payments for multiple bonds, including
general obligation bonds and those issued by various component units, including PREPA, the Puerto Rico Public Finance Corporation, and the Puerto Rico Public Building Authority, among others. The Oversight Board reported in the Revised Fiscal Plan
that, as of May 30, 2018, the Commonwealth’s consolidated outstanding debt and pension liabilities have grown to over $120 billion, with more than $70 billion in financial debt and more than $50 billion in pension liabilities. The Revised
Fiscal Plan provided for debt service payments of approximately $2.4 billion for FY2019. However, on July 2, 2018, the Commonwealth failed to make a scheduled debt payment of approximately $516 million.
In 2017, the Oversight Board filed petitions
pursuant to Title III of PROMESA in federal court on behalf the Commonwealth and certain of its instrumentalities, including the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation (“COFINA”), ERS, the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation
Authority, and the Puerto Rico Electric Power Utility (“PREPA”), to begin proceedings to restructure their outstanding debt. As a result of these petitions, the ability of the creditors of the Commonwealth and its instrumentalities that
have filed for Title III to take action with respect to outstanding obligations has been temporarily stayed. The judge assigned to oversee the Title III proceedings initiated a confidential mediation process administered by five federal judges. In
addition, the judge has concurrently overseen legal proceedings related to the Title III petitions and mediation, including litigation related to a proposed loan from the Commonwealth to PREPA and whether COFINA bonds were validly issued under the
Commonwealth’s constitution.
With respect to the ongoing litigation
between the Commonwealth and COFINA, agents for the Commonwealth and COFINA reached an agreement in principle on June 7, 2018, to share sales and use tax revenue and the Pledged Sales Tax Base Amount. The Oversight Board and the COFINA bondholders
reached an agreement in August 2018 to restructure the COFINA bonds into a new issuance of bonds. Under the agreement, the senior and junior COFINA bondholders would be entitled to recover specified percentages of the value of their original
investments. This agreement is subject to approval by the judge overseeing COFINA’s Title III proceedings. On October 19, 2018, the Oversight Board filed a proposed Plan of Adjustment for COFINA (which is based both on the settlement between
COFINA and the Commonwealth regarding ownership of the sales tax and the agreement with the COFINA bondholders) and a proposed Disclosure Statement to be utilized in connection with solicitations to approve the Plan of Adjustment. The judge
overseeing the Title III proceedings approved the Disclosure Statement and the COFINA Plan of Adjustment on November 20, 2018 and February 14, 2019, respectively. It is not presently possible to predict whether the restructuring will achieve its
intended effect of providing relief to the Commonwealth from its debt burden. With respect to PREPA’s Title III proceeding, a preliminary agreement has been reached between the PREPA bondholders, on one side and PREPA, the Oversight Board, and
Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority, on the other side, to restructure the outstanding PREPA bonds. As of the date of this SAI, negotiations between the parties to restructure the PREPA bonds are still ongoing. On January 7, 2020, the
judge overseeing the Title III proceedings rejected a bondholders’ motion that they be appointed as a trustee for ERS. The bondholders appealed the judge’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. On January
30, 2020 the First Circuit affirmed the ruling of the lower court.
As of the date of this SAI, the mediation
process and certain related litigation are ongoing. The mediation process was interrupted for a period in late 2017 as a result of damage caused by Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, and any future developments that further delay the resolution of
the Commonwealth’s and its instrumentalities’ debt obligations could adversely affect Fund performance. It is not presently possible to predict the results of the petition, mediation, or any related litigation, but such outcomes will
have a significant impact on bondholders. If the Commonwealth or its instrumentalities are unable to obtain favorable results, including with respect to restructuring their debt, there would be negative impacts on Fund performance.
In a legal action commenced in July 2018, a
creditor of the Commonwealth challenged the Title III petition filed by the Oversight Board on behalf of the Commonwealth. The creditor argued that the organization of the Oversight Board under PROMESA violated the United States constitution, and
therefore, the Oversight Board did not have the power to file the Title III petition on the Commonwealth’s behalf. The
judge overseeing the Commonwealth’s Title III proceedings determined
that there was no constitutional issue with the Oversight Board’s organization, and the Title III petition was able go forward. The creditor appealed the judge’s decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, which
heard arguments in January 2019. The First Circuit held that Board members are “Officers of the United States” for purposes of the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution because they exercise significant authority pursuant to the
laws of the United States and invalidated the provisions of PROMESA allowing the appointment of Board Members in a manner other than by presidential nomination followed by the Senate’s confirmation, and severed the remainder of the statute.
The First Circuit declined to dismiss all of the Title III petitions, invoking the de facto officer doctrine to uphold the actions the Oversight Board had taken in good faith “under the color of official title” and cited the risk of
significant harm to those who had relied on the Oversight Board’s actions. The Oversight Board filed a petition for a writ of certiorari from the United States Supreme Court which was granted on June 20, 2019. Oral arguments were heard by the
Supreme Court on October 15, 2019. On June 1, 2020, the Supreme Court came to a unanimous decision in favor of the Oversight Board. The Supreme Court held that the organization and appointment of the Oversight Board was not unconstitutional and
therefore valid. The case has been remanded for further proceedings.
Natural Disasters. In September 2017, two
successive hurricanes – Irma and Maria – caused severe damage to Puerto Rico. Hurricane Irma passed to the north of the Commonwealth, but Hurricane Maria made direct landfall, and the damage caused by both storms is extensive. The
Commonwealth’s infrastructure was severely damaged by high winds and substantial flooding, and much of the Commonwealth was left without power. Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Irma caused more than 1 million people to lose power throughout the
Commonwealth, and it has been reported that as of July 2018, power had not been completely restored. Current estimates suggest that Hurricane Maria caused approximately $80 billion in damage and is projected to cause a real decline in gross national
product of 13.3% in 2018. In February 2018, Congress appropriated $89.3 billion for disaster recovery efforts for areas affected by hurricanes in 2017. Approximately $11 billion of these funds were made available to the Commonwealth and the U.S.
Virgin Islands, and $2 billion was designated to help repair and reconstruct the electricity systems of the islands. In addition, while the Commonwealth’s population has trended downward every year since 2013, the trend was accelerated after
the damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria displaced residents.
The damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and
Maria is expected to have substantially adverse effects on the Commonwealth’s economy. In addition to diverting funds to relief and recovery efforts, the Commonwealth is expected to lose revenue as a result of decreased tourism and general
business operations. There can be no assurances that the Commonwealth will receive the necessary aid to rebuild from the damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, and it is not currently possible to predict the long-term impact that Hurricanes
Irma and Maria will have on the Commonwealth’s economy. All these developments have a material adverse effect on the Commonwealth’s finances and negatively impact the payment of principal and interest, the marketability, liquidity and
value of securities issued by the Commonwealth that are held by the Fund.
On December 28, 2019 a magnitude 4.7
earthquake shook the Commonwealth. In the weeks following, the Commonwealth has been hit by more than 500 additional earthquakes registering 2.0 or higher, including a 6.4 magnitude quake on January 7, 2020. The earthquakes have disrupted power,
killed at least one person, damaged more than 500 buildings and caused at least $110 million in damage. On May 2, 2020, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake struck the southern coast of the Commonwealth, briefly knocking out power and forcing the relocation
of at least 50 families on the island. It is not possible to predict when the seismic activity will return to normal levels or what the impact will be on the economy of the Commonwealth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly
impacted the Commonwealth’s economy. The Oversight Board estimates damages of $6.6 billion over the next two years resulting from economic shrinkage of 11% in both FY2020 and FY2021. The Oversight Board also estimates that the Commonwealth
will receive a total of 350,000 unemployment claims (including claims from self-employed residents) related to the pandemic.
The long-term effects of the COVID-19
pandemic are currently unpredictable. The long-term behavioral changes associated with the pandemic (i.e., reduced travel, increased work from home, reduced activity in large gathering places, etc.) are also unknown.
Litigation. In addition to the litigation
described above, the Commonwealth, its officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if
decided against the Commonwealth might require the Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict
the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit Rating. In 2014, Puerto Rico’s
general obligation bonds were downgraded to non-investment grade or “junk” status by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. Following multiple further downgrades, as of June 11, 2020, Puerto Rico’s general obligation debt was assigned a
credit rating of Ca by Moody’s and D by Fitch. In 2018, S&P discontinued its ratings of Puerto Rico’s general obligation debt. These ratings reflect only the views of the respective rating agency, an explanation of which may be
obtained from each such rating agency. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency if, in the judgment of such rating agency,
circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the securities issued by the Commonwealth and its political subdivisions, instrumentalities, and authorities.
As stated in the prospectus,
below-investment-grade securities may be subject to greater price fluctuations than investment-grade securities, increased credit risk and a greater risk that the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due, especially during
times of weakening economic conditions or rising interest rates. The reduction in the credit rating on Puerto Rico’s general obligation bonds could severely weaken the demand for securities issued by Puerto Rico, its agencies or
instrumentalities, which may prevent those issuers from obtaining the financing they need.
Guam
Introduction. Guam’s
economy is heavily dependent upon revenues from tourism and U.S. federal and military spending. As a result, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sources of revenue may have a negative effect on the value of Guam’s
municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
Guam faces significant fiscal challenges
including a high unemployment rate, uncertainty in the tourism industry and a reliance on a foreign workforce affecting key industry segments. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the United States remains uncertain, especially in light
of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic downturn in the United States or countries such as Japan, China, or Korea, which provide large sources of tourism to the island, could significantly impact the finances of Guam and, therefore, its municipal
securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in Guam may affect long-term growth prospects and could cause Guam to experience financial hardship. As a result of these and other factors, Guam has faced fiscal stress in recent years.
From year-to-year, Guam may experience a
number of political, social, economic and environmental circumstances that influence Guam’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) persistent structural imbalances; (ii) rising debt levels; (iii)
significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v) developments with respect to the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases, including pandemics and epidemics; and (vii) U.S.
federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to Guam. There can be no guarantee that future developments, including events affecting Guam’s economic and fiscal condition, will not have a materially adverse
impact on Guam’s finances. Any deterioration in Guam’s financial
condition may have a negative effect on the marketability, liquidity or value
of the securities issued by Guam, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. As of May 2019,
Guam’s civilian labor force consisted of approximately 63,630 individuals, a decline from the March 2018 estimate of 64,790 individuals. This figure includes citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Marshall Islands,
who are authorized by compact to accept employment in the United States and also, citizens of the Republic of Palau who are authorized by covenant to accept employment in the United States. As of April 2019, Guam had an unemployment rate of
approximately 4.6%, which was up from 4.4% in March 2018. Guam’s unemployment rate was above the national average of 3.6% in April 2019. Approximately 76% of Guam’s workforce is employed in the private sector, with the remainder employed
by the federal and local government. Based upon preliminary reports for FY2018, Guam’s private and public sector jobs declined over the year.
According to the United States Department of
Commerce (the “Department”), Guam’s real per capita GDP was $5.90 billion in 2017, which represented an increase of 0.6% over 2016. For comparison, real GDP for the United States during the same period was $78.0 billion. The
increase in Guam’s real GDP in 2016 resulted primarily from an increase in private sector growth, including services and hospitality. This growth was offset by decreases in federal funds and decreases in spending on construction and equipment.
Guam's real per capita GDP decreased 0.3% in 2018, due to government investments and spending, although tourism income remained strong.
Tourism has represented the primary source
of income for Guam’s economy for over twenty-five years. Historically, Japanese tourists accounted for the largest share of visitors to Guam. Accordingly, Guam’s economy may be affected by economic conditions in Japan that reduce visits
to the island, including a weak yen and an increase in consumption tax. Although Japanese tourists still account for a significant portion of all visitors to Guam, the total share of Japanese visitors has declined in recent years as the U.S. has
implemented visa waiver programs for more countries. As a result, Guam has attracted new visitors from South Korea, China and the Philippines. In 2018 almost 50% of tourists were from South Korea. Increased visits from tourists representing a more
diverse pool of countries may reduce the impact of events, such as natural disasters, increased taxes, or weakening of the local currency, that may prevent Japanese tourists from visiting Guam. However, Guam remains susceptible to risks which affect
the tourism industry as a whole, including widespread diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
The United States’ military presence
on Guam also contributes significantly to the island’s economy. Its strategic location close to Asia has increased its importance in the overall military strategy of the United States, but also has exposed Guam to certain geopolitical risks,
including threats of military confrontation. In the years following 2010, Guam began to experience a decrease in U.S. military personnel as the plan to relocate certain forces from Japan to Guam was delayed. However, in 2016, the United States
appropriated $253.9 million for military construction that would help facilitate the delayed relocation. Although the timing and size of the relocation is still uncertain, an increased military presence on the island may be beneficial to
Guam’s economy. In addition, the National Defense Authorization Act was signed into Law in December 2017, which authorized $355 million in new construction projects. There can be no guarantee that the relocation will occur or to what extent
Guam’s local economy will benefit from any relocation.
In fiscal year 2018 the Department of
Defense reported a total of 102 contracts, grants, agreements, or other funding mechanisms, totaling $2.2 billion to support military construction on Guam.
Budget. On February 4, 2020 the Governor of
Guam submitted the Executive Budget Proposal Request for FY2021 (“Proposed Budget”). The Proposed Budget projects $664.8 million in total General Fund revenues available for appropriation (composed of $678.4 million in total General Fund
revenues less the $13.6 million for the Rainy Day Fund).
Debt. Guam is prohibited from authorizing or
allowing the issuance of public debt in excess of 10% of the assessed tax valuation of the property in Guam. Public debt does not include bonds or other obligations payable solely from revenues derived from any public improvement or undertaking, and
obligations for the payment of which appropriations are required on an annual basis. As of May 31, 2019, the public debt of
Guam may not exceed $1.32 billion. As of May 31, 2019, the Government of Guam
had total outstanding public debt subject to a debt ceiling limitation of approximately $1.05 billion. In addition, Guam may also obtain other financing sources that are not subject to the debt ceiling, such as notes payable and other loans not
backed by the full faith of general government taxes and revenues. As of May 31, 2019, Guam’s total indebtedness, including sources not subject to the debt ceiling, equaled approximately $2.67 billion.
Litigation. Guam, its officials and
employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against Guam might require Guam to make significant
future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate the potential impact on the
ability of Guam to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Natural Disasters. In September 2018,
Typhoon Mangkhut made landfall in Guam and caused significant damage. High winds and substantial flooding severely damaged Guam’s infrastructure and much of Guam was left without power. On October 1, 2018, the federal government declared a
major disaster and authorized public assistance for emergency relief and rebuilding services. The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) denied Guam’s initial request for access to the Individual Assistance program, and
Guam has appealed FEMA’s denial of relief. Officials in Guam have estimated total damage and repair costs caused by Typhoon Mangkhut are approximately $4.3 million.
The damage caused by Typhoon Mangkhut is
expected to have adverse effects on Guam’s economy. In addition to diverting funds to relief and recovery efforts, Guam is expected to lose revenue as a result of decreased tourism. There can be no assurances that Guam will receive the
necessary aid to rebuild from the damage caused by Typhoon Mangkhut, and it is not currently possible to predict the long-term impact that Typhoon Mangkhut will have on Guam’s economy. These developments have a material adverse effect on
Guam’s finances and may negatively impact the payment of principal and interest, marketability, liquidity, and value of securities issued by Guam that are held by the Fund.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly
impacted Guam’s tourism economy. To date, Guam has received $276 million in aid and is expected to receive another $924 million in funding from the United States Department of Labor. The effects on tourism due to the pandemic are currently
unknown and unpredictable, and includes change in the habits of tourists in the coming years, especially with respect to the Southeast Asian, Russian and American markets.
Credit rating. As of June 18, 2020,
Guam’s general obligation debt was assigned a rating of BB- by S&P . This rating reflects only the views of S&P, an explanation of which may be obtained from that rating agency. On May 19, 2020, Moody’s assigned Guam’s
general obligation debt a credit rating of Ba1 with a negative outlook. This rating reflects only the view of Moody’s, an explanation of which may be obtained from Moody’s. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any
given period of time or that it will not be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies if, in the judgment of such rating agencies, circumstances so warrant. A downward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect
on the market prices of the securities issued by Guam or its political subdivisions, instrumentalities and authorities.
U.S.
Virgin Islands
Introduction.
The United States Virgin Islands (“Virgin Islands”) is an unincorporated territory of the United States with separate executive, legislative and judicial branches of government. The economy of the Virgin Islands is heavily dependent upon
revenues from tourism, but other major sectors of the Virgin Islands’ economy include the trade, transportation and utilities sector; the professional and business services sector; the leisure and hospitality sector; and the government sector.
As these sectors represent the largest share of employment in the Virgin Islands, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sectors may have a negative effect on the value of the Virgin Islands’ municipal securities, which may
reduce the performance of a fund.
The economy of the Virgin Islands has faced
substantial fiscal challenges in recent years, including damage to infrastructure caused by natural disasters or widespread diseases, a high unemployment rate, a structural deficit, declining government revenues, and considerable unfunded pension
and healthcare liabilities. The level of public debt in the Virgin Islands may affect long-term growth prospects and may make it difficult for the Virgin Islands to make full repayment on its obligations. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the
rest of the United States remains uncertain. A future economic downturn in the United States could significantly impact the finances of the Virgin Islands and, therefore, its municipal securities.
There can be no guarantee that economic and
fiscal conditions in the Virgin Islands will improve or that future developments will not have a materially adverse impact on the finances of the Virgin Islands. Any deterioration in the Virgin Islands’ financial condition may have a negative
effect on the value of the securities issued by the Virgin Islands, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. According to the
Virgin Islands Bureau of Economic Research, residents of the Virgin Islands received approximately $2.4 billion in estimated personal income in 2016. As a result, residents of the Virgin Islands had a per capita personal income of $23,333, which was
less than half of the national average of $49,831 over the same period. As of July 2018, the Virgin Islands had an unemployment rate of approximately 9.6%, which was down from 10.0% in July 2017. The Virgin Islands’ unemployment rate was
significantly above the national average, which was 3.9% during the same period. For FY2018, the Virgin Islands’ nonagricultural wage and salary jobs shrunk by 5.8%. The decline in employment was reflected both in the public and private
sector. The loss of hotels and other tourism-related industries has impacted the leisure and hospitality sector. Cumulatively, total visitors for FY2018 was 1,561,993 compared to the 2,317,087 who visited the islands during FY2017, a loss of 32.6%.
In FY2018, jobs in the construction sector continued to show growth due to ongoing disaster-related infrastructure restoration. As of November 2019, the civilian labor force of the Virgin Islands consisted of approximately 35,700 individuals.
The Virgin Islands’ economy has faced
setbacks in recent years largely as a result of the lingering effects of the economic recession in the United States, the impact of natural disasters, and the closure of the HOVENSA petroleum refinery. These factors have placed financial stress on
key segments of the Virgin Islands’ economy. While some signs of growth have emerged, such as, e.g., the commissioning of the Limetree Bay Refining, LLC ("Limetree") refinery in 2020, a full recovery will likely require significant structural
changes that are not guaranteed to be successful.
The tourism sector constitutes a significant
portion of the Virgin Islands’ economy. However, because of its geographical location, the Virgin Islands is subject to natural disasters, including hurricanes, that can cause considerable damage to the territory and disrupt the tourism
industry. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria, discussed in more detail below, caused substantial damage and destruction to the Virgin Islands and significantly disrupted travel. For the one-year period ended August 2018, the
number of tourists arriving by air decreased by 47.4% and the number of tourists arriving by cruise ship decreased by 13.3%. Any additional natural disasters that impact tourism could adversely affect the Virgin Islands’ economy.
Furthermore, the Virgin Islands was closed
to tourists from March to May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 1, 2020, the Virgin Islands has reopened to tourism. However, the current and long-term impact of the pandemic remains unknown.
The United States continues to be the
primary source of visitors to the Virgin Islands. Therefore, any gains in the tourism industry are closely related to economic growth in the United States. In order to expand its tourism industry and insulate the islands from potential economic
declines in the United States, the Virgin Islands has begun, in recent years, increasing its tourism marketing to other countries and regions and is evaluating ways to reposition itself as a leading tourism destination through a private-sector
driven approach. Continued efforts to encourage visitors from within the Caribbean region are also expected to play a significant role in growing the Virgin Islands’ tourism industry in the future. In addition, the Virgin Islands has sought to
increase its capacity for tourists by increasing flights to the islands and establishing partnerships to increase accommodations.
Tourism-related services continue to bolster
private sector enterprises. Important private sector activities in the Virgin Islands include wholesale and retail trade, leisure and hospitality, financial activities, and construction and mining activities. The agricultural sector remains small,
which requires most of the territory’s food to be imported. International business and financial services are a small but growing component of the economy.
In 2012, the operators of the HOVENSA oil
refinery, one of the largest employers in the Virgin Islands at the time, announced that they would close the refinery, laying off approximately 1,200 employees and 950 subcontractors. However, in January 2016, Limetree finalized its purchase of the
HOVENSA oil refinery, including HOVENSA’s storage and docking facilities. As part of the agreement, Limetree provided the government with an upfront payment of $220 million, agreed to invest $125 million in the facility within two years, and
agreed to provide $15 million in the form of electric supply on the island of St. Croix. At this time, while such investment is expected to provide benefits to the Virgin Islands’ labor market and overall economy, is not possible to predict
the extent of the impact the acquisition of HOVENSA will have on the Virgin Islands’ economy.
Overall, the underlying fundamentals of the
Virgin Islands economy are volatile. Increasing unemployment, decreasing revenues and the loss of many high-paying jobs have combined to place significant fiscal pressure on the local government. It is possible that fiscal challenges facing the
Virgin Islands could impact the ability of the territory to satisfy the obligations on its outstanding debt. Any such outcome would likely reduce the value of the municipal securities issued by the Virgin Islands and its political subdivisions,
instrumentalities, and authorities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
Budget. In recent fiscal years, the
government has experienced substantial fluctuations in revenues and expenditures, as well as recurring deficits. The Virgin Islands has taken a series of actions in recent years to reduce the size of its operating budget and address its recurring
operating deficit. However, these actions have not addressed the structural imbalances that have led to recurring deficits. Rather, annual shortfalls have been addressed by an ad hoc combination of inter-fund transfers and debt financing.
The FY2021 budget is based upon estimates of
General Fund revenues composed of $488.8 million from income taxes, $299.3 million from other taxes, $49.6 million in other revenues and $48.3 million in transfers from other funds, less $83.7 million in other transfers from the General Fund, for a
gross total of $841.9 million. The FY2021 budget assumes no debt financing and no new taxes. Unlike the FY2020 budget, the FY2021 proposal is a balanced budget.
The FY2021 budget proposes $1.2 billion in
expenditures, which includes $69.1 million for debt service payments, $291 million in non-disaster related federal funds, and $822.2 million of local funds. From the local funds, $742.8 million is proposed for the Executive Branch departments and
agencies, a decrease of $126 million from FY2019. The proposed FY2021 budget also proposes $20.7 million for the Legislative Branch and $31.7 million for the Judicial Branch.
Debt. Current law prohibits the Virgin
Islands from authorizing or issuing general obligation bonds in excess of 10% of the total value of taxable property in the territory. As of September 30, 2016, the Virgin Islands had approximately $752.3 million of general obligation bonds or notes
outstanding. As of September 30, 2016, the net amount of bonds outstanding, including both general obligation and revenue bonds, was estimated at $2.1 billion. The large fiscal risks faced by the Virgin Islands, coupled with its exclusion from
capital markets, may hamper the Virgin Islands ability to repay its public debts.
Natural Disasters. In September 2017, two
successive hurricanes – Irma and Maria – caused severe damage to the Virgin Islands. The infrastructure of the Virgin Islands was severely damaged by high winds and substantial flooding, leaving much of the Virgin Islands without power.
According to officials, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused an estimated $10.76 billion in damage to the public infrastructure and economy of the Virgin Islands. In February 2018, Congress appropriated $89.3 billion for disaster recovery efforts for
areas affected by hurricanes in 2017. Approximately $11 billion of these funds were made available to the Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and $2 billion was designated to help repair and reconstruct the electrical system of the
islands.
The damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and
Maria is expected to have adverse effects on the Virgin Islands’ economy. A substantial portion of the Virgin Island’s revenue is dependent on tourism, and the damage from Hurricanes Irma and Maria is expected to significantly reduce the
number of visitors to each of the islands. Before the storms made landfall, the Virgin Islands was already facing a severe economic crisis due to mounting debt obligations and declining revenues. There can be no assurances that the Virgin Islands
will receive sufficient aid to rebuild from the damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, and it is not currently possible to predict the long-term impact that Hurricanes Irma and Maria will have on the Virgin Island’s economy. All these
developments have a material adverse effect on the Virgin Island’s finances and negatively impact the marketability, liquidity and value of securities issued by the Virgin Islands that are held by the Fund.
Litigation. The Virgin Islands, its
officials and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the Virgin Islands might
require the Virgin Islands to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such
proceedings, estimate the potential impact on the ability of the Virgin Islands to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit rating. As of June 11, 2020, the
Virgin Islands’ general obligation debt was assigned a rating of Caa3 by Moody’s. This rating reflects only the views of Moody’s, an explanation of which may be obtained from that rating agency. On September 28, 2017, Fitch Inc.
(“Fitch”) withdrew its implied rating for the Virgin Islands’ general obligation debt. Fitch withdrew its ratings due to the Virgin Islands’ communication that it intended to stop participating in the ratings process, and
Fitch indicated that it no longer had sufficient information to maintain the ratings.
Northern
Mariana Islands
Introduction.
The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (the “Commonwealth”) is a commonwealth of the United States with a political status similar to that of Puerto Rico. The economy of the Commonwealth is heavily dependent upon revenues from
tourism and transfers from the federal government. As these sources represent a significant share of the Commonwealth’s revenue, economic problems or factors that adversely impact these sources may have a negative effect on the value of the
Commonwealth’s municipal securities, which may reduce the performance of a fund.
Although the Commonwealth has faced
significant setbacks, the economy has shown signs of modest growth in recent years. Such growth in may be slow as the Commonwealth continues to face substantial fiscal challenges including high unemployment, severe reductions in key industry
segments and large government deficits. Furthermore, the economic outlook in the rest of the United States remains uncertain, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. An economic downturn in the United States or countries such as Japan, China
or Korea, which provide large sources of tourism to the islands, could significantly impact the finances of the Commonwealth and, therefore, its municipal securities. Moreover, the level of public debt in the Commonwealth may affect long-term growth
prospects and could cause the Commonwealth to experience continued financial hardship.
From year-to-year, the Commonwealth may
experience a number of political, social, economic and environmental circumstances that influence the Commonwealth’s economic and fiscal condition. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (i) persistent structural imbalances; (ii)
rising debt levels; (iii) significant pension underfunding; (iv) revenue volatility; (v) developments with respect to the U.S. and world economies; (vi) environmental considerations, natural disasters and widespread diseases, including pandemics and
epidemics; and (vii) U.S. federal economic and fiscal policies, including the amount of federal aid provided to the Commonwealth. There can be no guarantee that future developments, including events affecting the Commonwealth’s economic and
fiscal condition, will not have a materially adverse impact on the Commonwealth’s finances. Any further deterioration in the Commonwealth’s financial condition may have a negative effect on the marketability, liquidity or value of the
securities issued by the
Commonwealth and may jeopardize the ability of the Commonwealth to satisfy
its obligations on its outstanding debt, which could reduce the performance of a fund.
Current Economic Climate. After joining the
United States in 1978, the federal government agreed to exempt the Commonwealth from federal minimum wage and immigration laws in an effort to help stimulate the Commonwealth’s economy. As a result of these exemptions, the Commonwealth was
able to build a large garment industry, which at one time accounted for nearly 40% of the Commonwealth’s economy. A significant portion of the Commonwealth’s residents and a large number of temporary workers from throughout the region
worked in the textile industry. Critical to this growth was duty-free access to U.S. markets and local authority over immigration and the minimum wage.
Over the last two decades, however, the
Commonwealth’s economy underwent an involuntary transformation resulting from federal policy actions that led to the dissolution of the Commonwealth’s garment industry. Following the collapse of the garment industry, tourism emerged as
the major driver of the Commonwealth’s economy. The Commonwealth has engaged in marketing efforts to increase visitor arrivals from a wider scope of countries, which has led to an overall increase in tourism since 2011. The majority of the
Commonwealth’s visitors are from Japan, Korea, China, and the United States, and federal immigration policy has also greatly impacted tourism in the Commonwealth. Any future developments that make international travel to the islands more
difficult may have a negative impact on the Commonwealth’s economy. In addition, the relaxation of laws restricting gambling helped to attract outside private investment and spur economic growth.
The Commonwealth’s real gross domestic
product decreased by 19.6% in 2018, after increasing 25.5% in 2017. The decline primarily reflects decreases in exports of services and private fixed investment that were partly offset by growth in government spending. Exports of services decreased
38.8% in 2018, due to a decrease in visitor spending. Revenues from casino gambling dropped over 50%. The number of visitors to the Commonwealth decreased 21.5%, reflecting the effects of Typhoon Yutu, which made landfall on Saipan and Tinian in
October 2018. This is in contrast to 2017, which saw record high levels of tourism and casino income.
The Commonwealth also faces certain unique
risks, including its reliance on a foreign workforce that has the potential to result in a labor shortage. In addition, because of its geographical location, the Commonwealth is subject to natural disasters. The Commonwealth has previously
experienced severe weather events that significantly impacted its economy, and any future storms, or other natural disasters, that have an adverse effect on the Commonwealth’s finances could negatively impact the marketability, liquidity or
value of securities issued by the Commonwealth.
Budget. The Commonwealth has run a budget
deficit since 1994, which means spending has consistently outpaced revenue collection. The Commonwealth’s governmental activities deficit net position decreased to $61.9 million in FY2017 from $133.8 million in FY2016. The “governmental
activities” position accounts for most of the Commonwealth’s basic services, including public safety and general administration. For FY2017, the Commonwealth’s General Fund experienced a total deficit of $44.3 million.
On September 26, 2019, the Governor signed
into law the Commonwealth’s budget for FY2020 (“Enacted Budget”). The Enacted Budget identifies total budgetary resources of approximately $233.2 million, which, after adjustments and transfers, would leave $148.9 million for
appropriations during the fiscal year. The projected resources and appropriations represent a decrease from FY2019. The Enacted Budget includes $37.7 million for the Commonwealth’s public school system, $6.9 million to fund the Department of
Public Safety, $4 million for the Department of Corrections, and a combined total of $12.4 million to fund the legislative and judicial branches of government.
Unfunded liabilities of the Northern Mariana
Islands Retirement Fund and minimum annual payments required to the Northern Mariana Islands Settlement Fund (“NMISF”) as part of a 2013 pension-related settlement present a significant risk to the fiscal condition of the Commonwealth.
Pursuant to law, the Commonwealth is required to make contributions to the retirement fund each year on an actuarially funded basis toward the annuities related to retirement and other benefits. Due to recurring budget deficits, the
Commonwealth has often delayed or suspended payments to the retirement fund.
The Commonwealth has, however, made the minimum annual payments to the NMISF for FY2016, FY2017, FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020 of $30 million, $33 million, $44 million, $45 million and $43 million, respectively. There can be no guarantee in the future
that the Commonwealth’s pension fund will not face additional financial risk, including the possibility of going bankrupt, or that the Commonwealth will be able to make required payments.
Debt. As of September 30, 2018, the
Commonwealth had $71.3 million in long-term debt outstanding, which represents a net decrease of $4.7 million or 6.2% from the prior year. The expected annual debt service requirements on the Commonwealth’s general obligation bonds were $8.48
million for FY2019 and $8.51 million for FY2020.
Natural Disasters. On October 25, 2018,
Super Typhoon Yutu, one of the strongest storms ever recorded, made landfall in the Commonwealth and caused significant damage. The sustained high winds damaged the Commonwealth’s infrastructure and many residents lost power. On October 27,
2018, the federal government declared a major disaster and authorized public assistance for emergency relief and rebuilding services. Officials have not yet estimated the cost of the damage, but it is expected that it will take months to restore
power throughout the Commonwealth.
The
damage caused by Super Typhoon Yutu is expected to have adverse effects on the Commonwealth’s economy. In addition to diverting funds to relief and recovery efforts, the Commonwealth is expected to lose revenue as a result of decreased
tourism. There can be no assurances that the Commonwealth will receive the necessary aid to rebuild from the damage caused by Super Typhoon Yutu, and it is not currently possible to predict the long-term impact that Super Typhoon Yutu will have on
the Commonwealth’s economy. These developments have a material adverse effect on the Commonwealth’s finances and may negatively impact the payment of principal and interest, marketability, liquidity, and value of securities issued by the
Commonwealth that are held by the Fund.
The COVID-19 pandemic has marginally
affected the Commonwealth. However, it is unclear what long-term effects the pandemic may have, either directly or indirectly, on the Commonwealth’s tourism, travel, exports and imports.
Litigation. The Commonwealth, its officials
and employees are named as defendants in legal proceedings that occur in the normal course of governmental operations. Some of these proceedings involve claims for substantial amounts, which if decided against the Commonwealth might require the
Commonwealth to make significant future expenditures or substantially impair future revenue sources. Because of the prospective nature of these proceedings, it is not presently possible to predict the ultimate outcome of such proceedings, estimate
the potential impact on the ability of the Commonwealth to pay debt service costs on its obligations, or determine what impact, if any, such proceedings may have on a fund’s investments.
Credit rating. As of June 11, 2020, S&P
and Fitch did not maintain a credit rating for the general obligation debt of the Commonwealth. On December 9, 2019, Moody's assigned the Commonwealth an issuer rating of Ba3 with a negative outlook.

are hereby incorporated by reference. See Item 28(a) and (b) above. Under the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust effective as of April 11, 2017, as amended (i) Trustees or officers, when acting in such capacity, shall not
be personally liable for any act, omission or obligation of the Registrant or any Trustee or officer except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office with
the Trust; (ii) every Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, the Registrant’s Second Amended and Restated 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 $40,000,000 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 Ltd., Invesco Asset Management (Japan) Limited,
Invesco Canada Ltd., Invesco Hong Kong Limited and Invesco Senior Secured Management, Inc. and separate Sub-Advisory Agreements with Invesco Capital Management LLC and 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-Advisor 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 connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in
connection with the shares being registered hereby, 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.

expenses are required to be disclosed and included in the total annual fund operating expenses in the prospectus fee table. As a result, the net total annual fund operating expenses shown in the prospectus fee table may exceed the expense limits
reflected in Exhibits AD. Neither a Trust nor Invesco may remove or amend the Contractual Limits to a Trusts detriment prior to the Expiration Date without requesting and receiving the approval of the Board of Trustees of the applicable
Funds Trust to remove or amend such Contractual Limits. Invesco will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived or reimbursed.
For the Contractual Limits, Invesco agrees to review the then-current expense limitations for each class of each Fund listed on the Exhibits on a date
prior to the Expiration Date to determine whether such limitations should be amended, continued or terminated. The expense limitations will expire upon the Expiration Date unless Invesco has agreed to continue them. The Exhibits will be amended to
reflect any such agreement.
For the Voluntary Limits (listed in Exhibits A D), Invesco agrees that these are not contractual in nature and
that Invesco may establish, amend and/or terminate such expense limitations at any time in its sole discretion. Any delay or failure by Invesco to update this Memorandum of Agreement with regards to the terminations, extensions, or expirations of
the Voluntary Limits shall have no effect on the term of such Voluntary Limitations; the Voluntary Limitations are listed herein for informational purposes only.
It is expressly agreed that the obligations of each Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers,
agents or employees of the Trusts personally, but shall only bind the assets and property of each Fund, as provided in each Trusts Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The execution and delivery of this Memorandum of Agreement have been
authorized by the Trustees of the Trusts, and this Memorandum of Agreement has been executed and delivered by an authorized officer of the Trusts acting as such; neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such
officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the assets and property of the Funds, as provided in each Trusts Agreement and Declaration of
Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Trusts and Invesco have entered into this Memorandum of Agreement as of the
Effective Dates on the attached Exhibits.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE) will be calculated as of the Funds fiscal year end according
to Instruction 3(f) of Item 3 of Form N-1A. Net AFFE will be calculated by subtracting any waivers by Invesco associated with investments in affiliated funds, such as investments in affiliated
money market funds, from the AFFE calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence. For clarity, the NET AFFE calculated as of the Funds fiscal year end will be used throughout the waiver period in establishing the Funds
waiver amount, regardless of whether actual AFFE is more or less during the waiver period.

Funds), and Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco). Invesco shall and hereby agrees to waive fees of the Funds, on behalf of their respective classes as applicable, severally and not jointly, as indicated in the Exhibits.
For and in consideration of the mutual terms and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, Invesco agrees that until at least the expiration date set forth on Exhibit A (the Expiration Date) and with respect to those Funds listed on the Exhibit, Invesco will waive its advisory fees at the rate set
forth on the Exhibit.
For and in consideration of the mutual terms and agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Trusts and Invesco agree as follows:
|
1.
|
Invesco agrees that until the expiration date, if any, of the commitment set forth on the attached Exhibit B occurs, as
such Exhibit B is amended from time to time, Invesco will waive advisory fees payable by an Investing Fund (defined below) in an amount equal to 100% of the net advisory fee Invesco receives on the Uninvested Cash (defined below) from the Affiliated
Money Market Fund (defined below) in which the Investing Fund invests (the Waiver).
|
|
i.
|
Invescos Fund Accounting Group will calculate, and apply, the Waiver monthly, based upon the average investment of
Uninvested Cash made by the Investing Fund during the previous month in an Affiliated Money Market Fund.
|
|
ii.
|
The Waiver will not apply to those Investing Funds that do not charge an advisory fee, either due to the terms of their
advisory agreement, or as a result of contractual or voluntary fee waivers.
|
|
iii.
|
The Waiver will not apply to cash collateral for securities lending.
|
For purposes of the paragraph above, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
|
(a)
|
Affiliated Money Market Fundany existing or future Trust that holds itself out as a money market fund
and complies with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
|
|
(b)
|
Investing Fund any Fund investing Cash Balances and/or Cash Collateral in an Affiliated Money Market
Fund; and
|
|
(c)
|
Uninvested Cashcash available and uninvested by a Trust that may result from a variety of sources,
including dividends or interest received on portfolio securities, unsettled securities transactions, strategic reserves, matured investments, proceeds from liquidation of investment securities, dividend payments, or new investor capital.
|
|
2.
|
Neither a Trust nor Invesco may remove or amend the Waiver to a Trusts detriment prior to the Expiration Date
without requesting and receiving the approval of the Board of Trustee of the applicable Funds Trust to remove or amend such Waiver. Invesco will not have any right to reimbursement of any amount so waived.
|
Subject to the foregoing paragraphs, Invesco agrees to review the then-current waivers for each class of the Funds listed on the Exhibits on a date
prior to the Expiration Date to determine whether such waivers should be amended, continued or terminated. The waivers will expire upon the Expiration Date unless Invesco has agreed to continue them. The Exhibits will be amended to reflect any such
agreement.
It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Trusts hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders,
nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trusts personally, but shall only bind the assets and property of the Funds, as provided in each Trusts Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The execution and delivery of this Memorandum of
Agreement have been authorized by the Trustees of each Trust, and this Memorandum of Agreement has been executed and delivered by an authorized officer of each Trust acting as such; neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and
delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the assets and property of the Funds, as provided in each Trusts Agreement and
Declaration of Trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Trusts, on behalf of itself and its Funds listed in Exhibit A and B to this Memorandum of
Agreement, and Invesco have entered into this Memorandum of Agreement as of the Effective Date on the attached Exhibits.
