The Fund is a
“fund of funds,” and invests its assets in other underlying mutual funds advised
by Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or the Adviser) and exchange-traded funds
(ETFs) and other pooled investment vehicles advised by Invesco Capital
Management LLC (Invesco Capital) or mutual funds, ETFs and other pooled
investment vehicles advised by unaffiliated advisers (the underlying funds).
Invesco and Invesco Capital are affiliates of each other as they are both
indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. The Fund’s target allocation
is to invest approximately 30%-50% of its total assets in underlying funds that
invest primarily in equity securities (equity funds), approximately 50%-70% of
its total assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income
securities (fixed-income funds) and approximately 5%-20% of its total assets in
alternative asset classes including underlying funds that invest primarily in
commodities and other derivatives.
The
Fund does not limit its investment in underlying funds that invest primarily in
foreign securities.
The
Fund may also allocate up to 100% of its assets to affiliated or unaffiliated
ETFs.
The
Fund may invest directly in derivatives to hedge its cash position and manage
the duration of the Fund’s portfolio, including but not limited to futures,
total return swaps, and forward contracts. In addition,
the Fund will
gain exposure to derivatives through its investment in underlying
funds.
With respect
to derivatives,
references to
the “underlying funds”
also include
the Fund and references to the
“Fund”
also include
the underlying funds. Some underlying funds may use derivatives to seek income
or capital gain or to hedge against the risks of other investments. Options,
futures, forward contracts and swaps are some of the types of derivatives the
underlying funds can use.
The
Adviser uses a three-step process to create the Fund’s portfolio including:
(1) a strategic asset allocation by the Adviser among broad asset classes; (2)
the actual selection by the Adviser of underlying funds to represent the broad
asset classes and the determination by the Adviser of target weightings in these
underlying funds; in the case where there are multiple funds in a broad asset
class, the Adviser attempts to balance the amount of active risk contributed by
each underlying fund in order to determine the allocation; and (3) the ongoing
monitoring of the Fund’s asset class allocations, underlying funds and target
weightings in the underlying funds.
Based
on the portfolio managers’ research, the strategic allocations of the
portfolios are broadly diversified to gain exposure to areas of the market that
the portfolio managers believe may perform well over a full market

Investor Fund
cycle,
including periods of adverse economic environments such as recessions and
inflationary growth. The portfolio managers gain exposure to the desired asset
class by selecting the most representative funds. The Adviser rebalances the
Fund’s investments in the underlying funds on an annual basis to keep them at
their target weightings. Although the Adviser has the ability to rebalance on a
more frequent basis if it believes it is appropriate to do so, the Fund’s asset
class weightings may not match the above percentage weightings during a quarter
due to market fluctuations, cash flows and other factors. The Adviser may change
the Fund’s asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target
weightings in the underlying funds without notice to, or approval by,
shareholders.

With
respect to Class R5 and Class R6 shares, there is no minimum initial
investment for Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans investing through
a retirement platform that administers at least $2.5 billion in retirement plan
assets. All other Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans must meet a
minimum initial investment of at least $1 million in each Fund in which it
invests.
For
all other institutional investors purchasing Class R5 or Class R6 shares, the
minimum initial investment in each share class is $1 million, unless such
investment is made by (i) an investment company, as defined under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), that is part of a family of
investment companies which own in the aggregate at least $100 million in
securities, or (ii) an account established with a 529 college savings plan
managed by Invesco, in which case there is no minimum initial
investment.
There
are no minimum investment amounts for Class R6 shares held through
retail omnibus accounts maintained by an intermediary, such as a broker, that
(i) generally charges an asset-based fee or commission in addition to those
described in this prospectus, and (ii) maintains Class R6 shares and makes them
available to retail investors.
Tax
Information
The Fund’s
distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or
some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged
arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan, 529 college savings plan or individual
retirement account. Any distributions from a 401(k) plan or individual
retirement account may be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn from such plan
or account.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you
purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such
as a bank), the Fund, the Fund’s distributor or its related companies may pay
the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These
payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or
other intermediary and your salesperson or financial adviser to recommend the
Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or financial adviser or visit
your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
Investment Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Objective(s)
and Strategies
The Fund’s
investment objective is total return consistent with a lower level of risk
relative to the broad stock market. The Fund’s investment objective may be
changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without shareholder
approval.
7 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
The
Fund is a “fund of funds,” and invests its assets in other underlying
mutual funds
advised by Invesco and ETFs and other pooled investment vehicles advised by
Invesco Capital or mutual funds, ETFs and other pooled investment vehicles
advised by unaffiliated advisers (the underlying funds). Invesco and Invesco
Capital are affiliates of each other as they are both indirect wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Invesco Ltd. The Fund’s target allocation is to invest
approximately 30%-50% of its total assets in underlying funds that invest
primarily in equity securities (equity funds), approximately 50%-70% of its
total assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income
securities (fixed-income funds) and approximately 5%-20% of its total assets in
alternative asset classes including underlying funds that invest primarily in
commodities and other derivatives.
The
Fund does not limit its investment in underlying funds that invest primarily in
foreign securities.
The
Fund may also allocate up to 100% of its assets to affiliated or unaffiliated
ETFs. An ETF may be actively managed or it may seek to track the performance of
an index, a commodity or a basket of assets, but its shares trade like stock on
an exchange. Shares of ETFs experience price changes throughout the day as they
are bought and sold.
The
Fund may invest
directly in derivatives to hedge its cash position and manage the duration of
the Fund’s portfolio, including but not limited to futures, total return swaps,
and forward contracts. In addition, the Fund will gain exposure to derivatives
through its investments in underlying funds. With respect to derivatives,
references to the “underlying funds” also include the Fund and references to the
“Fund” also include the underlying funds. Some underlying funds may
use
derivatives
to
seek
income
or capital
gain or
to hedge
against the risks of other investments.
Options,
futures, forward contracts and
swaps are
some of the types of derivatives the underlying funds can use.
The
Adviser uses a three-step process to create the Fund’s portfolio including:
(1) a strategic asset allocation by the Adviser among broad asset classes; (2)
the actual selection by the Adviser of underlying funds to represent the broad
asset classes and the determination by the Adviser of target weightings in these
underlying funds; in the case where there are multiple funds in a broad asset
class, the Adviser attempts to balance the amount of active risk contributed by
each underlying fund in order to determine the allocation; and (3) the ongoing
monitoring of the Fund’s asset class allocations, underlying funds and target
weightings in the underlying funds.
Based
on the portfolio managers’ research, the strategic allocations of the
portfolios are broadly diversified to gain exposure to areas of the market that
the portfolio managers believe may perform well over a full market cycle,
including periods of adverse economic environments such as recessions and
inflationary growth. The portfolio managers gain exposure to the desired asset
class by selecting the most representative funds. The Adviser rebalances the
Fund’s investments in the underlying funds on an annual basis to keep them at
their target weightings. Although the Adviser has the ability to rebalance on a
more frequent basis if it believes it is appropriate to do so, the Fund’s asset
class weightings may not match the above percentage weightings during a quarter
due to market fluctuations, cash flows and other factors. The Adviser may change
the Fund’s asset class allocations, the underlying funds or the target
weightings in the underlying funds without notice to, or approval by,
shareholders.
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 and the underlying funds are:
Market
Risk. The market
values of an underlying fund’s investments, and therefore the value of an
underlying 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 an underlying
fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are
not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived
adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or
corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global
instability, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of an underlying
fund’s investments may also go up or down due to factors that affect an
individual issuer or a particular industry or sector, such as changes in
production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition,
natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public health
issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, economic crisis or other
events may have a significant impact on the value of an underlying 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 an underlying fund’s investment strategy. During a general downturn in
the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets
perform well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by an
underlying fund will rise in value.
■
Market
Disruption Risks Related to Armed Conflict. As a result
of increasingly interconnected global economies
and financial
markets, armed conflict between countries or in a geographic region, for example
the current conflicts
between
Russia
and Ukraine
in Europe
and Hamas and
Israel in the
Middle
East,
has
the potential
to adversely impact an underlying fund’s investments. Such
conflicts,
and other
corresponding events, have had, and could continue to have, severe negative
effects on regional and global economic and financial markets, including
increased volatility, reduced liquidity, and overall uncertainty. The negative
impacts may be particularly acute in certain sectors.
The
timing and
duration of such conflicts, resulting sanctions, related events and other
implications cannot be predicted. The foregoing may result in a negative impact
on Fund performance and the value of an investment in an underlying fund, even
beyond any direct investment exposure underlying fund may have to issuers
located in or with significant exposure to an impacted country or
geographic
regions.
Fund
of Funds Risk. The Fund’s
performance depends on that of the underlying funds in which it invests.
Accordingly, the risks associated with an investment in the Fund include the
risks associated with investments in the underlying funds. The Fund will
indirectly pay a proportional share of the fees and expenses of the underlying
funds in which it invests. There is a risk that the Fund will vary from its
target weightings (if any) in the underlying funds due to factors such as market
fluctuations. There can be no assurance that the underlying funds will achieve
their investment objectives, and their performance may be lower than their
represented asset classes. Underlying Funds that are not affiliated with the
Fund may change their portfolio managers, investment objectives, investment
strategies, policies or practices without the approval of the Fund, which may
cause the Fund to withdraw its investments therein at a disadvantageous
time.
Exchange-Traded
Funds Risk. In addition
to the risks associated with the underlying assets held by the exchange-traded
fund, investments in exchange-traded funds are subject to the following
additional risks: (1) the market price of an exchange-traded fund’s shares may
trade above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for the
exchange-traded fund’s shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) trading an
exchange-traded fund’s shares may be halted if the listing
8 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
exchange’s
officials deem such action appropriate; (4) a passively-managed exchange-traded
fund may not accurately track the performance of the reference asset; and (5) a
passively-managed exchange-traded fund would not necessarily sell a security
because the issuer of the security was in financial trouble unless the security
is removed from the index that the exchange-traded fund seeks to track.
Investment in exchange-traded funds may involve duplication of management fees
and certain other expenses, as the Fund or an underlying fund indirectly bears
its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the exchange-traded funds in
which it invests. Further, certain exchange-traded funds in which the Fund or an
underlying fund may invest are leveraged. Investing in leveraged exchange-traded
funds may result in economic leverage, which does not result in the possibility
of the Fund or an underlying fund incurring obligations beyond its investments,
but nonetheless permits the Fund or an underlying fund to gain exposure that is
greater than would be the case in an unlevered instrument, which can result in
greater volatility.
Allocation
Risk. The Fund’s
investment performance depends, in part, on how its assets are allocated among
the underlying funds or asset classes. The Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions
regarding the asset classes or the underlying funds in which the Fund invests
may be incorrect, causing the Fund to be invested (or not invested) in one or
more asset classes or underlying funds at an inopportune time. The Adviser’s
allocation of the Fund’s assets among asset classes and underlying funds may
therefore not produce the desired results and could cause the Fund to perform
poorly or underperform the Fund’s benchmark and other available
funds.
■
Affiliated
Portfolio Risk. In managing
the Fund, the Adviser will have authority to select and substitute underlying
funds. The Adviser may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in
selecting underlying funds because the fees paid to the Adviser or its
affiliates by some underlying funds for advisory services are higher than the
fees paid by other underlying funds. In addition, the Fund's portfolio managers
may also serve as portfolio managers of the underlying funds. However, the
Adviser monitors the investment process to seek to identify, address and resolve
any potential issues and has adopted certain compliance procedures which are
designed to address these types of conflicts.
Debt
Securities Risk. The prices
of debt securities held by an underlying 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
an underlying 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 an underlying fund’s distributable income because interest payments on
floating rate debt instruments held by an underlying fund will decline. An
underlying 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 an underlying fund is required to seek recovery upon a
default in the payment of interest or the repayment of principal, an underlying
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. An underlying fund’s
credit analysis applied to an underlying fund’s debt securities may fail to
anticipate such changes, which could result in buying a debt security at an
inopportune time or failing to sell a debt security in advance of a price
decline or other credit event.
Changing
Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. Increases in
the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates or other changes to monetary
policy or regulatory actions may expose fixed income markets to heightened
volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments,
particularly those with longer maturities. It is difficult to predict the impact
of
interest rate
changes on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer
market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and
reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of an
underlying fund’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central
bank policies could also result in higher than normal redemptions by
shareholders, which could potentially increase an underlying fund’s portfolio
turnover rate and transaction costs and potentially lower an underlying fund’s
performance returns.
U.S.
Government Obligations Risk.
Obligations
of U.S. government
agencies and
authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government, which could affect an underlying fund’s
ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S.
government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it
is not obligated by law to do so.
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 an underlying 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.
Mortgage-
and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-
and asset-backed securities, including collateralized debt obligations and
collateralized mortgage obligations, differ from conventional debt securities
because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at
maturity. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment or
call risk, which is the risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier
or later than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans.
Faster prepayments often happen when interest rates are falling. As a result, an
underlying fund may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates,
thereby reducing an underlying fund's income. Mortgage- and asset-backed
securities also are subject to extension risk. An unexpected rise in interest
rates could reduce the rate of prepayments and extend the life of the mortgage-
and asset-backed securities, causing the price of the mortgage- and asset-backed
securities and an underlying fund’s share price to fall and would make the
mortgage- and asset-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes.
An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool
will adversely affect the value of mortgage-backed securities and will result in
losses to an underlying fund. Privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and
asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other types of securities and an
underlying fund may be unable to sell these securities at the time or price it
desires. During periods of market stress or high redemptions, an underlying fund
may be forced to sell these securities at significantly reduced prices,
resulting in losses. Liquid privately-issued mortgage-backed securities and
asset-backed securities can become illiquid during periods of market stress. An
underlying fund may invest in mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages,
which are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with lower
capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages. Liquidity risk is even
greater for mortgage pools that include subprime mortgages. Privately
issued mortgage-related securities are not subject to the same underwriting
requirements for the underlying mortgages that are applicable to those
mortgage-related securities that have
9 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
government or
government-sponsored entity guarantees. As a result, the mortgage loans
underlying privately issued mortgage-related securities may, and frequently do,
have less favorable collateral, credit risk, liquidity risk or other
underwriting characteristics than government or government-sponsored
mortgage-related securities and have wider variances in a number of terms
including interest rate, term, size, purpose and borrower
characteristics.
High
Yield Debt Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. An
underlying fund’s investments in high yield debt securities (commonly referred
to as “junk bonds”) and other lower-rated securities will subject an underlying
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.
Bank
Loan Risk. There are a
number of risks associated with an investment in bank loans including credit
risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk and prepayment risk.
These risks are typically associated with debt securities but may be heightened
in part because of the limited public information regarding bank loans. Lack of
an active trading market, restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity,
wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods may impair an
underlying fund’s ability to sell bank loans within its desired time frame or at
an acceptable price and its ability to accurately value existing and prospective
investments. Extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being
immediately available to the Fund. As a result, an underlying fund may have to
sell other investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet
its obligations.
The
risk of holding
bank loans is
also directly tied to the risk of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks.
If the borrower defaults on its obligation to pay, there is the possibility that
the collateral securing a loan,
if any, may
be difficult to liquidate or be insufficient to cover the amount owed under the
loan. The value of bank loans can be affected by and sensitive to changes in
government regulation and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.
These risks could cause an underlying fund to lose income or principal on a
particular investment,
which in turn
could affect an underlying fund’s returns. Additionally, valuation of bank loans
may require greater research due to limited public information available and
elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation since there may be a
lack of objective data available.
Bank
loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate
risk as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based
on changes in widely accepted reference rates. Newly originated loans (including
reissuances and restructured loans) may possess lower levels of credit document
protections than has historically been the case. Accordingly, in the event of
default an underlying fund may experience lower levels of recoveries than has
historically been the norm.
TBA
Transactions Risk. TBA
transactions involve the risk that the securities received may be less favorable
than what was anticipated by an underlying fund when entering into the TBA
transaction. TBA transactions also involve the risk that the counterparty will
fail to deliver the securities, exposing an underlying fund to further losses.
Whether or not an underlying fund takes delivery of the securities at the
termination date of a TBA transaction, an underlying fund will nonetheless be
exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of
the agreement. If an underlying fund sells short TBA mortgages that it does not
own and the mortgages increase in value, an underlying fund may be required to
pay a higher price than anticipated to purchase the deliverable mortgages to
settle the short sale and thereby incur a loss. A short position in TBA
mortgages poses more risk than holding the same TBA mortgages long. It is
possible
that the
market value of the mortgage securities an underlying fund holds in long
positions will decline at the same time that the market value of the mortgage
securities an underlying fund has sold short increases, thereby magnifying any
losses. The more an underlying fund pays to purchase the mortgage securities
sold short, the more it will lose on the transaction, which adversely affects
its share price. The loss on a long position is limited to what an underlying
fund originally paid for the TBA mortgage, together with any transaction costs.
In short transactions, there is no limit on how much the price of a security can
increase, thus an underlying fund’s exposure is theoretically unlimited. An
underlying fund normally closes a short sale of TBA mortgages that it does not
own by purchasing mortgage securities on the open market and delivering them to
the broker. An underlying fund may not always be able to complete or “close out”
the short position by purchasing mortgage securities at a particular time or at
an acceptable price. An underlying fund incurs a loss if an underlying fund is
required to buy the deliverable mortgage securities at a time when they have
appreciated in value from the date of the short sale. An underlying fund will
incur increased transaction costs associated with selling TBA mortgages short.
In addition, taking short positions results in a form of leverage. As a result,
changes in the value of an underlying fund’s investments will have a larger
effect on its share price than if it did not engage in these
transactions.
REIT
Risk/Real Estate Risk.
Investments
in real estate related instruments may be adversely affected by economic, legal,
cultural, environmental or technological factors that affect property values,
rents or occupancies. Real estate companies, including REITs or similar
structures, tend to be small- and mid-cap companies and their shares may be more
volatile and less liquid than larger companies. The value of investments in real
estate related companies may be affected by the quality of management, the
ability to repay loans, the utilization of leverage and financial covenants
related thereto, whether the company carries adequate insurance and
environmental factors. If a real estate related company defaults on certain
types of debt obligations held by the Fund, the Fund may acquire real
estate directly, which involves additional risks such as environmental
liabilities; difficulty in valuing and selling the real estate; and economic or
regulatory changes.
Zero
Coupon or Pay-In-Kind Securities Risk. Zero coupon
and pay-in-kind securities may be subject to greater fluctuation in value and
less liquidity in the event of adverse market conditions than comparably rated
securities paying cash interest at regular interest payment periods. Prices on
non-cash-paying instruments may be more sensitive to changes in the issuer’s
financial condition, fluctuation in interest rates and market demand/supply
imbalances than cash-paying securities with similar credit ratings, and thus may
be more speculative. Investors may purchase zero coupon and pay-in-kind
securities at a price below the amount payable at maturity. Because such
securities do not entitle the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior
to maturity, this prevents any reinvestment of interest payments at prevailing
interest rates if prevailing interest rates rise. The higher yields and interest
rates on pay-in-kind securities reflect the payment deferral and increased
credit risk associated with such instruments and that such investments may
represent a higher credit risk than coupon loans. Pay-in-kind securities may
have a potential variability in valuations because their continuing accruals
require continuing judgments about the collectability of the deferred payments
and the value of any associated collateral. Special tax considerations are
associated with investing in certain lower-grade securities, such as zero coupon
or pay-in-kind securities.
Senior
Loans and Other Loans Risk. There are a
number of risks associated with an investment in Senior Loans including credit
risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk and prepayment risk.
These risks are typically associated with debt securities but may be heightened
in part because of the limited public information regarding Senior Loans. Senior
Loans generally are floating rate loans, which are subject to interest rate risk
as the interest paid on the floating rate loans adjusts periodically based on
changes in widely accepted reference rates. Lack of an active trading
10 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
market,
restrictions on resale, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and
extended trade settlement periods may impair an underlying fund’s ability to
sell Senior Loans within its desired time frame or at an acceptable price and
its ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments. Extended
trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to
an underlying fund. As a result, an underlying fund may have to sell other
investments or engage in borrowing transactions to raise cash to meet its
obligations. The risk of holding Senior Loans is also directly tied to the risk
of insolvency or bankruptcy of the issuing banks. The value of Senior Loans can
be affected by and is sensitive to, changes in government regulation and to
economic downturns in the United States and abroad. These risks could cause an
underlying fund to lose income or principal on a particular investment, which in
turn could affect an underlying fund’s returns. Newly originated loans
(including reissuances and restructured loans) may possess lower levels of
credit document protections than has historically been the case. Accordingly, in
the event of default an underlying fund may experience lower levels of
recoveries than has historically been the norm.
In
addition to the risks typically associated with debt securities senior
loans are
also subject to the risk that a court could subordinate a senior loan, which
typically holds a senior position in the capital structure of a borrower, to
presently existing or future indebtedness or take other action detrimental to
the holders of senior loans. Loans usually have mandatory and optional
prepayment provisions. If a borrower prepays a loan, an underlying fund will
have to reinvest the proceeds in other loans or financial assets that may pay
lower rates of return.
Loans
are subject to the risk that the value of the collateral, if any, securing a
loan may decline, be insufficient to meet the obligations of the borrower, or be
difficult to liquidate. In the event of a default, an underlying fund may have
difficulty collecting on any collateral and would not have the ability to
collect on any collateral for an uncollateralized loan. In addition, the
lenders’ security interest or their enforcement of their security under the loan
agreement may be found by a court to be invalid or the collateral may be used to
pay other outstanding obligations of the borrower. An underlying fund’s access
to collateral, if any, may be limited by bankruptcy, other insolvency laws, or
by the type of loan an underlying fund has purchased. As a result, a
collateralized loan may not be fully collateralized and can decline
significantly in value.
Loan
investments are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions.
Such transactions include leveraged buyout loans, leveraged recapitalization
loans, and other types of acquisition financing. These obligations are subject
to greater credit risks than other investments including a greater possibility
that the borrower may default or enter bankruptcy. Highly leveraged loans also
may be less liquid than other loans. If an underlying fund voluntarily or
involuntarily sold those types of loans, it might not receive the full value it
expected.
Due
to restrictions on transfers in loan agreements and the nature of the private
syndication of loans including, for example, the lack of publicly-available
information, some loans are not as easily purchased or sold as publicly-traded
securities. Some loans are illiquid, which may make it difficult for an
underlying fund to value them or dispose of them at an acceptable price when it
wants to. Additionally, valuation of Senior Loans may require greater research
due to limited public information available and elements of judgment may play a
greater role in valuation since there may be a lack of objective data available.
The market price of investments in floating rate loans is expected to be less
affected by changes in interest rates than fixed-rate investments because
floating rate loans pay a floating rate of interest that will fluctuate as
market interest rates do and therefore should more closely track market
movements in interest rates.
Direct
investments in loans and, to a lesser degree, investments in participation
interests in or assignments of loans may be limited. A limited availability of
loans could reduce the amount of attractive investments for an underlying fund.
If market demand for loans increases, the interest paid by loans that an
underlying fund holds may decrease.
Compared
to securities and to certain other types of financial assets, purchases and
sales of loans take relatively longer to settle. This extended settlement
process can (i) increase the counterparty credit risk borne by an underlying
fund; (ii) leave an underlying fund unable to timely vote, or otherwise act with
respect to, loans it has agreed to purchase; (iii) delay an underlying fund from
realizing the proceeds of a sale of a loan; (iv) inhibit an underlying fund’s
ability to re-sell a loan that it has agreed to purchase if conditions change
(leaving an underlying fund more exposed to price fluctuations); (v) prevent an
underlying fund from timely collecting principal and interest payments; and (vi)
expose an underlying fund to adverse tax or regulatory consequences. To the
extent the extended loan settlement process gives rise to short-term liquidity
needs, such as the need to satisfy redemption requests, an underlying fund may
hold cash, sell investments or temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders.
If an underlying fund undertakes such measures, an underlying fund’s ability to
pay redemption proceeds in a timely manner, as well as an underlying fund’s
performance, may be adversely affected.
If
an underlying fund invests in a loan via a participation, an underlying
fund will be
exposed to the ongoing counterparty risk of the entity providing exposure to the
loan (and, in certain circumstances, such entity’s credit risk) in addition to
the exposure an underlying fund has to the creditworthiness of the borrower. The
terms of the participation may not entitle an underlying fund to all rights of a
direct lender under the loan (for example, with respect to consent, voting or
enforcement rights). Therefore, an underlying fund’s rights under a
participation interest for a particular loan may be more limited than the rights
of the original lender or an investor who acquires an assignment of that loan.
Where an underlying fund invests in a loan via a participation, an underlying
fund generally will have no right of direct recourse against the borrower or
ability to otherwise directly enforce the terms of the loan
agreement.
In
certain circumstances, loans may not be deemed to be securities, and in the
event of fraud or misrepresentation by a borrower or an arranger, lenders will
not have the protection of the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities
laws, as would be the case for bonds or stocks. Instead, in such cases, lenders
generally rely on the contractual provisions in the loan agreement itself, and
common-law fraud protections under applicable state law.
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.
Liquidity
Risk. An
underlying fund may be unable to sell illiquid investments at the time or price
it desires and, as a result, could lose its entire investment in such
investments. An investment may be illiquid due to a lack of trading volume in
the investment or if the investment is privately placed and not traded in any
public market or is otherwise restricted from trading. Liquid securities can
become illiquid during periods of market stress. If a significant amount of an
underlying fund’s securities become illiquid, an underlying fund may not be able
to timely pay redemption proceeds and may need to sell securities at
significantly reduced prices.
Investing
in Stocks Risk. Common
stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred
stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of
the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded
or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid
than exchange-traded securities.
11 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
The
value of an underlying fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock
markets. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to
changes to equity markets in general. Stock markets may experience significant
short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in
any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative
effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently
from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from
one or more foreign stock markets.
The
prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at
the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more
dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. A
variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s
stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports,
a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable
performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government
regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that securities
of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of
small- or mid-sized companies, growth or value stocks, or stocks of companies in
a particular industry), fund share values may fluctuate more in response to
events affecting the market for those types of securities.
Index
Risk. Unlike many
investment companies that are “actively managed,” certain underlying funds are
“passive” investors and therefore do not utilize investing strategies that seek
returns in excess of their respective Underlying Index. Therefore, an underlying
fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added
or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that
security generally is underperforming. If a specific security is removed from an
Underlying Index, certain underlying funds may be forced to sell shares of the
security at an inopportune time or for a price lower than the security’s current
market value. An Underlying Index may not contain the appropriate mix of
securities for any particular economic cycle. Unlike with an actively managed
fund, the Adviser does not use techniques or defensive strategies designed to
lessen the impact of periods of market volatility or market decline. This means
that, based on certain market and economic conditions, an underlying fund’s
performance could be lower than other types of mutual funds with investment
advisers that actively manage their portfolio assets to take advantage of market
opportunities.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The value of
an underlying fund's foreign investments may be adversely affected by political
and social instability in the home countries of the issuers of the investments,
by changes in economic or taxation policies in those countries, or by the
difficulty in enforcing obligations in those countries. Foreign investments also
involve the risk of the possible seizure, nationalization or expropriation of
the issuer or foreign deposits (in which an underlying fund could lose its
entire investments in a certain market) and the possible adoption of foreign
governmental restrictions such as exchange controls. Foreign companies generally
may be subject to less stringent regulations than U.S. companies, including
financial reporting requirements and auditing and accounting controls, and may
therefore be more susceptible to fraud or corruption. Also, there may be less
publicly available information about companies in certain foreign countries than
about U.S. companies making it more difficult for an underlying fund’s adviser
to evaluate those companies. The laws of certain countries may put limits on an
underlying fund’s ability to recover its assets held at a foreign bank if the
foreign bank, depository or issuer of a security, or any of their agents, goes
bankrupt. Trading in many foreign securities may be less liquid and more
volatile than U.S. securities due to the size of the market or other factors.
Changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could
adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign
securities may also expose an underlying fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. At
times, an underlying fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or
region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in
that country or region. Unless an underlying fund has hedged its foreign
currency exposure, foreign securities
risk also
involves the risk of negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may
cause the value of securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other
instruments through which an underlying fund has exposure to foreign currencies)
to decline in value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over
short periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always
successful. For instance, currency forward contracts, if used, could reduce
performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency exchange
rates.
Foreign
Government Debt Risk.
Investments
in foreign government debt securities (sometimes referred to as sovereign debt
securities) involve certain risks in addition to those relating to foreign
securities or debt securities generally. The issuer of the debt or the
governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or
unwilling to repay principal or interest when due in accordance with the terms
of such debt, and an underlying fund may have limited recourse in the event of a
default against the defaulting government. A foreign government debtor’s
willingness or ability to repay principal and pay interest in a timely manner
may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of
its foreign currency reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange,
the relative size of the debt burden, the foreign government debtor’s policy
toward its principal international lenders and local political constraints.
Certain issuers of foreign government debt may be dependent on disbursements
from foreign governments, multinational agencies and other entities to reduce
principal and interest arrearages on their debt. Without the approval of debt
holders, some governmental debtors have in the past been able to reschedule or
restructure their debt payments or declare moratoria on payments.
Emerging
Market Securities Risk. Emerging
markets (also referred to as developing markets) are generally subject to
greater market volatility, political, social and economic instability,
uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental
limitations on foreign investment than more developed markets. In addition,
companies operating in emerging markets may have greater concentration in a few
industries resulting in greater vulnerability to regional and global trade
conditions and also may be subject to lower trading volume and greater price
fluctuations than companies in more developed markets. Unexpected market
closures may also affect investments in emerging markets. Settlement procedures
may differ from those of more established securities markets, and settlement
delays may result in the inability to invest assets or dispose of portfolio
securities in a timely manner. As a result there could be subsequent declines in
value of the portfolio security, a decrease in the level of liquidity of the
portfolio, or, if there is a contract to sell the security, a possible liability
to the purchaser.
Such
countries’ economies may be more dependent on relatively few industries or
investors that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Emerging
market countries may also have higher rates of inflation or deflation and more
rapid and extreme fluctuations in inflation rates and greater sensitivity to
interest rate changes. Further, companies in emerging market countries generally
may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting,
accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more
developed countries and, as a result, the nature and quality of such information
may vary. Information about such companies may be less available and reliable
and, therefore, the ability to conduct adequate due diligence in emerging
markets may be limited which can impede an underlying fund’s ability to evaluate
such companies. In addition, certain emerging market countries may impose
material limitations on Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
inspection, investigation and enforcement capabilities, which can hinder the
PCAOB’s ability to engage in independent oversight or inspection of accounting
firms located in or operating in certain emerging markets. There is no guarantee
that the quality of financial reporting or the audits conducted by audit firms
of emerging market issuers meet PCAOB standards.
Securities
law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled.
Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market
12 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
securities,
securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change
quickly and unpredictably. Emerging market countries also may have less
developed legal systems allowing for enforcement of private property rights
and/or redress for injuries to private property (including bankruptcy,
confiscatory taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets,
restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on
withdrawing assets from the country, protectionist measures and practices such
as share blocking). Certain governments may require approval for the
repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of
securities by foreign investors. The ability to bring and enforce actions in
emerging market countries, or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce
such actions, may be limited and shareholder claims may be difficult or
impossible to pursue. In addition, the taxation systems at the federal, regional
and local levels in emerging market countries may be less transparent and
inconsistently enforced, and subject to sudden change.
Emerging
market countries may have a higher degree of corruption and fraud than
developed market countries, as well as counterparties and financial institutions
with less financial sophistication, creditworthiness and/or resources. The
governments in some emerging market countries have been engaged in programs to
sell all or part of their interests in government-owned or controlled
enterprises. However, in certain emerging market countries, the ability of
foreign entities to participate in privatization programs may be limited by
local law. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be
successful.
Other
risks of investing in emerging market securities may include additional
transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures,
and lack of timely information.
Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing
in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk
than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be more
vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no operating
history or track record of success, and may have more limited product lines and
markets, less experienced management and fewer financial resources than larger
companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than
those of more established companies. They may be more sensitive to changes in a
company’s earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price
movements. Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in
many instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities
exchange, where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than
is typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities
exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject to
wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for an underlying fund to
dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. In
addition, investors might seek to trade Fund shares based on their knowledge or
understanding of the value of smaller company securities (this is sometimes
referred to as “price arbitrage”), which could interfere with the efficient
management of an underlying fund. Since small- and mid-cap companies typically
reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay
dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. It may take a
substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or
mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all. The relative sizes of companies
may change over time as the securities market changes, and an underlying fund is
not required to sell the securities of companies whose market capitalizations
have grown or decreased due to market fluctuations.
Growth
Investing Risk. Growth
companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to grow at
a faster rate than the overall market. If a growth company’s earnings or stock
price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce
the expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth
companies can be new or established companies that may be entering a growth
cycle in their business and therefore may experience greater stock price
fluctuations
and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Their anticipated
growth may come from developing new products or services or from expanding into
new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new
or improved distribution methods or new business models that could enable them
to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have a special
area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or
other factors in a more profitable way. Newer growth companies generally tend to
invest a large part of their earnings in research, development or capital
assets. Although newer growth companies may not pay any dividends for some time,
their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases.
Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is
likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of
favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth
company securities at an acceptable price and the securities of growth companies
may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock market.
Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of
investor speculation.
Value
Investing Risk. Value
investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that a selected
security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as
anticipated. A value investing approach could also lead to acquiring fewer
securities that might experience rapid price increases during times of market
advances. This could cause the investments to underperform strategies that seek
capital appreciation by employing only a growth or other non-value approach.
Value investing has also gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and
is likely to continue to do so. During periods when value investing is out of
favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of value companies may
underperform the securities of growth companies or the overall stock
market.
Preferred
Securities Risk. Preferred
securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally
to equity securities. Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of
common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets
of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Preferred securities also may be
subordinated to bonds or other debt instruments in an issuer’s capital
structure, subjecting them to a greater risk of non-payment than these more
senior securities. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will
usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or
perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred
securities may be less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks,
and generally offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer.
Convertible
Securities Risk. The market
value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security;
that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security
usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that
the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their
market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the
market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Convertible securities can
be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer
within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price
formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred
stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed.
Some convertible debt securities may be considered “equity equivalents” because
of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Since a
convertible security derives a portion of its value from the common stock into
which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same
types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock. In
addition, certain convertible securities are subject to involuntary conversions
and may undergo principal write-downs upon the occurrence of certain triggering
events. These convertible securities are subject to an increased risk of loss
and are generally subordinate in rank to other debt obligations of the issuer.
13 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
Convertible
securities may be rated below investment grade and therefore considered to have
more speculative characteristics and greater susceptibility to default or
decline in market value than investment grade securities.
Rule
144A Securities and Other Exempt Securities Risk. An
underlying fund may invest in Rule 144A securities and other types of exempt
securities, which are not registered for sale pursuant to an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities
while initially privately placed, typically may be resold only to qualified
institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction, or to a limited
number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after they have been held for a
specified period of time and other conditions are met for an exemption from
registration. If there are an insufficient number of qualified institutional
buyers interested in purchasing such securities at a particular time, an
underlying fund may have difficulty selling such securities at a desirable time
or price. As a result, an underlying fund’s investment in such securities may be
subject to increased liquidity risk. In addition, the issuers of Rule 144A
securities may require their qualified institutional buyers (such as an
underlying fund) to keep certain offering information confidential, which could
adversely affect the ability of an underlying fund to sell such
securities.
Restricted
Securities Risk. Limitations
on the resale of restricted securities may have an adverse effect on their
marketability, and may prevent an underlying fund from disposing of them
promptly at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that a trading market
will exist at any time for any particular restricted security. Transaction costs
may be higher for restricted securities. Also, restricted securities may be
difficult to value because market quotations may not be readily available, and
the securities may have significant volatility. In addition, an underlying fund
may get only limited information about the issuer of a restricted security and
therefore may be less able to predict a loss.
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,
an underlying 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 an underlying fund
missing the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be
advantageous. These transactions have a leveraging effect on an underlying fund
because an underlying fund commits to purchase securities that it does not have
to pay for until a later date. These investments therefore increase an
underlying fund’s overall investment exposure and, as a result, its volatility.
Typically, no income accrues on securities an underlying fund has committed to
purchase prior to the time delivery of the securities is made.
Derivatives
Risk. A derivative
is an instrument whose value depends largely on (and is derived from) the value
of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other
asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating
to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly
greater, risks, which are described below.
■
Counterparty
Risk. Certain
derivatives do not trade on an established exchange (referred to as
over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives) and are simply financial contracts between
an underlying fund and a counterparty. When an underlying fund is owed money on
an OTC derivative, an underlying fund is dependent on the counterparty to pay
or, in some cases, deliver the underlying asset, unless an underlying 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, an
underlying fund’s ability to recover the collateral that an underlying fund has
on deposit with the counterparty could be delayed or impaired. For derivatives
traded on a centralized exchange, an underlying 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 an underlying 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 an underlying fund sustaining a loss that is substantially
greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the anticipated value of
the underlying asset. In addition, some derivatives have the potential for
unlimited loss, regardless of the size of an underlying fund’s initial
investment. Leverage may therefore make an underlying fund’s returns more
volatile and increase the risk of loss. In certain market conditions, losses on
derivative instruments can grow larger while the value of an underlying fund’s
other assets fall, resulting in an underlying fund’s derivative positions
becoming a larger percentage of an underlying 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
an underlying 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 an underlying fund may be most in need of liquidating
its derivative positions. To the extent that an underlying fund is unable to
exit a derivative position because of market illiquidity, an underlying fund may
not be able to prevent further losses of value in its derivatives holdings and
the liquidity of an underlying fund and its ability to meet redemption requests
may be impaired to the extent that a substantial portion of an underlying fund’s
otherwise liquid assets must be used as margin. Another consequence of
illiquidity is that an underlying fund may be required to hold a derivative
instrument to maturity and take or make delivery of the underlying asset that an
underlying fund’s adviser would otherwise avoid.
■
Forward
Foreign Currency Contracts Risk. Forward
foreign currency contracts are used to lock in the U.S. dollar price of a
security denominated in a foreign currency or protect against possible losses
from changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against a foreign
currency. They are subject to the risk that anticipated currency movements will
not be accurately predicted or do not correspond accurately to changes in the
value of an underlying fund's holdings, which could result in losses and
additional transaction costs. The use of forward contracts could reduce
performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency prices. A contract to
sell a foreign currency would limit any potential gain that might be realized if
the value of the currency increases. A forward foreign currency contract may
also result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the
counterparty.
■
Forward
Contracts Risk. The
projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and
the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain.
The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the value of the
securities involved generally will not be possible because the future value of
securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of
market movements between the date the forward contract is entered into and the
date it is sold.
14 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
Investments
in forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will
not be accurately predicted, causing an underlying fund to sustain losses on
these contracts and to pay additional transaction costs.
■
Futures
Contracts Risk. The
volatility of futures contracts prices has been historically greater than the
volatility of stocks and bonds. The liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking
delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity
in the futures market could be reduced. In addition, futures exchanges often
impose a maximum permissible price movement on each futures contract for each
trading session. An underlying fund may be disadvantaged if it is prohibited
from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement.
■
Options
Risk. If an
underlying fund sells a put option, there is a risk that an underlying fund may
be required to buy the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If an
underlying fund sells a call option, there is a risk that an underlying fund may
be required to sell the underlying investment at a disadvantageous price. If an
underlying fund sells a call option on an investment that an underlying fund
owns (a “covered call”) and the investment has increased in value when the
option is exercised, an underlying fund will be required to sell the investment
at the call price and will not be able to realize any of the investment’s value
above the call price. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result
in greater price volatility than other investments.
■
“Structured”
Notes Risk. Structured
notes are subject to interest rate risk. They are also subject to credit risk
with respect both to the issuer and, if applicable, to the underlying security
or obligor. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as
anticipated, the structured note might pay less interest than the stated coupon
payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may
be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult
to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. In some cases, an underlying
fund may enter into agreements with an issuer of structured notes to purchase a
minimum amount of those notes over time.
■
Swap
Transactions Risk. Under U.S.
financial reform legislation enacted in 2010, certain types of swaps are
required to be executed on a regulated market and cleared through a central
clearing house counterparty, which may entail further risks and costs for an
underlying fund. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the
over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or may
be centrally cleared. In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following
execution of the swap agreement, the swap agreement is submitted for clearing to
a central clearing house counterparty, and an underlying fund faces the central
clearing house counterparty by means of an account with a futures commission
merchant that is a member of the clearing house.
■
Volatility
Swaps Risks. Volatility
swaps are subject to credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its
obligations), and the risk that the investment adviser is incorrect in its
forecast of volatility for the underlying security, currency, index or other
financial instrument that is the subject of the swap. If the investment adviser
is incorrect in its forecast, an underlying fund would likely be required to
make a payment to the counterparty under the swap. Volatility swaps can have the
potential for unlimited losses.
■
Total
Return Swaps Risk. In a total
return swap transaction, one party agrees to pay the other party an amount equal
to the total return on a defined underlying asset or a non-asset reference
during a specified period of time. The underlying asset might be a security or
asset or basket of securities or assets or a non-asset reference such as a
securities or other type of index. In return, the other party would make
periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or
on the total
return from a different underlying asset or non-asset reference. Total
return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does
not perform as anticipated. Total return swaps can have the potential for
unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the
counterparty fails to meet its obligations, an underlying fund may lose
money.
■
Other
Risks. Compared to
other types of investments, derivatives may be harder to value and may also be
less tax efficient, as described under the “Taxes” section of the prospectus. In
addition, changes in government regulation of derivative instruments could
affect the character, timing and amount of an underlying fund’s taxable income
or gains, and may limit or prevent an underlying 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 an underlying fund
to change its investment strategy. Derivatives strategies may not always
be successful. For example, to the extent that an underlying 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 an underlying 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. An underlying fund’s use of derivatives may be limited
by the requirements for taxation of an underlying fund as a regulated investment
company.
Alternative
Investment Strategies Risk. An
underlying fund utilizes alternative investment strategies, which are strategies
that the portfolio manager expects to result in investment performance that does
not correlate with the performance of traditional asset classes, such as equity
and fixed-income investments. An underlying fund also seeks to utilize a diverse
mix of alternative investment strategies, in the hope that individual strategies
yield low performance correlation to other alternative investment strategies
used by an underlying fund. However, alternative investments may be more
volatile or illiquid, particularly during periods of market instability, and an
underlying fund cannot guarantee that diverse alternative investment strategies
will yield uncorrelated performance under all market conditions. In addition,
the particular mix of alternative investments in an underlying fund’s portfolio
may not be sufficiently diversified. An underlying fund is subject to the risk
that its alternative investments may undergo a correlation shift, resulting in
returns that are correlated with the broader market and/or with an underlying
fund’s other alternative investments.
Quantitative
Models Risk.
Quantitative models are based upon many factors that measure individual
securities relative to each other. Quantitative models may be highly reliant on
the gathering, cleaning, culling and analysis of large amounts of data from
third parties and other external sources. Any errors or imperfections in the
factors, or the data on which measurements of those factors are based, could
adversely affect the use of the quantitative models. The factors used in models
may not identify securities that perform well in the future, and the securities
selected may perform differently from the market as a whole or from their
expected performance.
Commodity
Risk. An
underlying fund may have investment exposure to the commodities markets and/or a
particular sector of the commodities markets, which may subject an underlying
fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as
stocks and bonds. The commodities markets may fluctuate widely based on a
variety of factors, including changes in overall market movements, domestic and
foreign political and economic events and policies, war, acts of terrorism,
changes in domestic or foreign interest rates and/or investor expectations
concerning interest rates, domestic and foreign inflation rates and investment
and trading activities of mutual funds, hedge funds and commodities funds.
Prices of various commodities may also be affected by factors such as
15 Invesco
Select Risk: Moderately Conservative
Investor Fund
drought,
floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and other regulatory
developments. The prices of commodities can also fluctuate widely due to supply
and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions and changes in
transportation, handling and storage costs. Certain commodities may be produced
in a limited number of countries and may be controlled by a small number of
producers or groups of producers. As a result, political, economic and supply
related events in such countries could have a disproportionate impact on the
prices of such commodities. Because an underlying fund’s performance may be
linked to the performance of volatile commodities, investors should be willing
to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of an
underlying fund’s shares.
Geographic
Focus Risk. An
underlying fund may from time to time have a substantial amount of its assets
invested in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited
number of countries. If an underlying fund focuses its investments in this
manner, adverse economic, political or social conditions in those countries may
have a significant negative impact on an underlying fund’s investment
performance. This risk is heightened if an underlying fund focuses its
investments in emerging market countries or developed countries prone to periods
of instability.
Sector
Focus Risk. An
underlying fund may from time to time have a significant amount of its assets
invested in one market sector or group of related industries. The prices of
stocks of issuers in a sector or group of industries may go up and down in
response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability
of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or
sector more than others.
In this
event, an underlying fund’s performance will depend to a greater extent on the
overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased
risk that an underlying fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely
affect that sector or group of industries. Information about the Fund’s
investment in a market sector or group of industries is available in its annual
and semi-annual reports to shareholders and in its reports on Form N-PORT filed
with the SEC.
Industry
Concentration Risk. In following
its methodology, the Underlying Index from time to time may be concentrated to a
significant degree in securities of issuers operating in a single industry or
group of industries. To the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in the
securities of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries, an
underlying fund will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same
extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or group of industries,
an underlying fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over
numerous industries or groups of industries. Such industry-based risks, any of
which may adversely affect the companies in which an underlying fund invests,
may include, but are not limited to legislative or regulatory changes, adverse
market conditions and/or increased competition within the industry or group of
industries. In addition, at times, such industry or group of industries may be
out of favor and underperform other industries, groups of industries or the
market as a whole. Information about an underlying fund’s exposure to a
particular industry or group of industries will be available in an underlying
fund’s Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to Shareholders, as well as on required
forms filed with the SEC.
Non-Diversification
Risk. An
underlying fund is non-diversified, meaning it can invest a greater portion of
its assets in the obligations or securities of a small number of issuers or any
single issuer than a diversified fund can. Because a large percentage of an
underlying fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers, a
change in the value of one or a few issuers’ securities will affect the value of
an underlying fund more than would occur in a diversified fund.
Momentum
Investing Risk. In general,
momentum is the tendency of an investment to exhibit persistence in its relative
performance; a “momentum” style of investing emphasizes investing in securities
that have had better recent performance compared to other securities, on the
theory that these securities will continue to increase in value. Momentum
investing
is subject to
the risk that the securities may be more volatile than the market as a whole.
High momentum may also be a sign that the securities’ prices have peaked, and
therefore the returns on securities that previously have exhibited price
momentum may be less than returns on other styles of investing. Momentum can
turn quickly, and stocks that previously have exhibited high momentum may not
experience continued positive momentum. An underlying fund may experience
significant losses if momentum stops, reverses or otherwise behaves differently
than predicted. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style of
investing is out of favor and therefore, the investment performance of an
underlying fund may suffer.
Issuer-Specific
Changes Risk. The
performance of an an underlying fund depends on the performance of individual
securities to which an an underlying fund has exposure. The value of an
individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the
market as a whole and may perform worse than the market as a whole, causing the
value of its securities to decline. Poor performance may be caused by poor
management decisions, competitive pressures, changes in technology, expiration
of patent protection, disruptions in supply, labor problems or shortages,
corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures or other factors. Issuers may,
in times of distress or at their own discretion, decide to reduce or eliminate
dividends, which may also cause their stock prices to decline.
Financial
Markets Regulatory Risk. Policy
changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and other governmental
actions and political events within the U.S. and abroad, changes to the monetary
policy by the Federal Reserve or other regulatory actions, the U.S. government’s
inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan or
other legislation aimed at addressing financial or economic conditions, the
threat of a federal government shutdown, and threats not to increase or suspend
the federal government’s debt limit, may affect investor and consumer
confidence, increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and
to a significant degree, result in higher interest rates, and even raise
concerns about the U.S. government’s credit rating and ability to service its
debt. Such changes and events may adversely impact an underlying fund, including
by adversely impacting an underlying fund’s operations, universe of potential
investment options, and return potential.
Management
Risk. The Fund is
actively managed and depends heavily on its 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. Similarly,
certain underlying funds are actively managed and depend heavily on their
advisers’ judgments about markets, interest rates or the attractiveness,
relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular investments
made for their portfolios. The Fund and certain underlying funds could
experience losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. There can be no
guarantee that the Fund’s Adviser’s and certain underlying funds’ advisers'
investment techniques or investment decisions will produce the desired results.
Because the investment process of the Fund relies heavily on its asset
allocation process, market movements that are counter to the portfolio managers’
expectations may have a significant adverse effect on the Fund’s net asset
value. Similarly, because the investment processes of certain underlying funds
rely heavily on their security selection processes, market movements that are
counter to the portfolio managers’ expectations may have a significant adverse
effect on certain underlying funds’ net asset values. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the Fund and
underlying funds and, therefore, their abilities to achieve their investment
objectives.

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
1331 Spring Street, N.W., Suite 2500, Atlanta, Georgia 30309. The Adviser, as
successor in interest to multiple investment advisers, has been an investment
adviser since 1976.
Sub-Advisers.
Invesco has
entered into one or more Sub-Advisory Agreements with certain affiliates to
serve as sub-advisers to the Fund (the Sub-Advisers). Invesco may appoint the
Sub-Advisers from time to time to provide discretionary investment management
services, investment advice, and/or order execution services to the Fund. The
Sub-Advisers and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are described in the
SAI.
Regulation
under the Commodity Exchange Act
The Adviser
is registered as a “commodity pool operator” (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange
Act and the rules of the CFTC and is subject to CFTC regulation with respect to
the Fund. The CFTC has adopted rules regarding the disclosure, reporting and
recordkeeping requirements that apply with respect to the Fund as a result of
the Adviser’s registration as a CPO. Generally, these rules allow for
substituted compliance with CFTC disclosure and shareholder reporting
requirements, based on the Adviser’s compliance with comparable SEC
requirements. This means that for most of the CFTC’s disclosure and shareholder
reporting requirements applicable to the Adviser as the Fund’s CPO, the
Adviser’s compliance with SEC disclosure and shareholder reporting requirements
will be deemed to fulfill the Adviser’s CFTC compliance obligations. However, as
a result of CFTC regulation with respect to the Fund, the Fund may incur
additional compliance and other expenses. The Adviser is also registered as a
“commodity trading advisor” (CTA) but, with respect to the Fund, relies on an
exemption from CTA regulation available for a CTA that also serves as the Fund’s
CPO.
Adviser
Compensation
The Adviser
does not receive a management fee from the Fund.
A

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

(a) |
Calculated
using average shares outstanding. |
|
(b) |
Net
investment income (loss) is affected by the timing of the declaration of
dividends by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Ratio of net
investment income (loss) does not include net
investment
income of the underlying funds in which the Fund
invests. |
|
(c) |
Includes
adjustments in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America and as such, the net asset value for
financial reporting purposes and the returns
based
upon those net asset values may differ from the net asset value and
returns for shareholder transactions. Does not include sales charges and
is not annualized for periods less than one
year,
if applicable. |

(d) |
In
addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund
indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the
underlying funds in which the Fund invests. Because
the
underlying funds have varied expenses and fee levels and the Fund may own
different proportions at different times, the amount of fees and expenses
incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.
Estimated
underlying fund expenses are not expenses that are incurred directly by
the Fund. They are expenses that are incurred directly by the underlying
funds and are deducted from the value
of
the funds the Fund invests in. The effect of the estimated underlying fund
expenses that the Fund bears indirectly is included in the Fund’s total
return. Estimated acquired fund fees from
underlying
funds 0.49%, 0.49%, 0.49%, 0.51% and 0.51% for the years ended December
31, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. |
|
(e) |
Portfolio
turnover is calculated at the fund level and is not annualized for periods
less than one year, if
applicable. |

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

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

Share
Class Eligibility
The
availability of certain share classes will depend on how you purchased your
shares. Intermediaries may have different policies regarding the availability of
certain share classes than those described below. You should consult your
financial adviser to consider your options, including your eligibility to
qualify for the share classes described below. The Fund is not responsible for
eligibility requirements imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying
shareholders of any changes to them. See “Financial Intermediary-Specific
Arrangements” for more information on certain intermediary-specific eligibility
requirements. Please
consult with your financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding
their policies.
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are generally available to all retail
investors, including individuals, trusts, corporations, business and charitable
organizations and Retirement and Benefit Plans. Investors may only open an
account to purchase Class C shares if they have appointed a financial
intermediary that allows for new accounts in Class C shares to be opened. This
restriction does not apply to Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The share classes offer different fee structures that are intended to compensate
financial intermediaries for services provided in connection with the sale of
shares and continued maintenance of the customer relationship. You should
consider the services provided by your financial adviser and any other financial
intermediaries who will be involved in the servicing of your account when
choosing a share class.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares,
which are offered only on Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and
Invesco Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, are closed to new investors. All
references in this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus
to Class A shares shall include Class A2 shares, unless otherwise
noted.
Class AX
and CX Shares
Class AX
and CX shares are closed to new investors. Only investors who have continuously
maintained an account in Class AX or CX of Invesco Government Money Market
Fund may make additional purchases into Class AX and CX, respectively, of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund. All references in this “Shareholder
Account Information” section of this prospectus to Class A, C or R shares
of the Invesco Funds shall include CX
shares of
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise noted. All references in
this “Shareholder Account Information” section of this prospectus to Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund shall include
Class AX shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, unless otherwise
noted.
Class P
Shares
In addition
to the other share classes discussed herein, the Invesco Summit Fund offers
Class P shares, which were historically sold only through the AIM Summit
Investors Plans I and II (each a Plan and, collectively, the Summit Plans).
Class P shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a 12b-1 fee
of 0.10%. However, Class P shares are not sold to members of the general
public. Only shareholders who had accounts in the Summit Plans at the close of
business on December 8, 2006 may purchase Class P shares and only
until the total of their combined investments in the Summit Plans and in
Class P shares directly equals the face amount of their former Plan under
the 30 year extended investment option. The face amount of a Plan is the
combined total of all scheduled monthly investments under the Plan. For a Plan
with a scheduled monthly investment of $100.00, the face amount would have been
$36,000.00 under the 30 year extended investment option.
Class R
Shares
Class R
shares are intended for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Certain financial
intermediaries have additional eligibility criteria regarding Class R shares. If
you received Class R shares as a result of a merger or reorganization of a
predecessor fund into any of the Funds, you will be permitted to make additional
Class R shares purchases.
Class
R5 and R6 Shares
Class R5 and
R6 shares of the Funds 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
A-2 The
Invesco Funds
investment
vehicles, 529 college savings plans, financial intermediaries and corporations
investing for their own accounts, endowments and foundations. For information
regarding investment minimums for Class R5 and R6 shares, please see “Minimum
Investments” below.
Class
R6 shares of the Funds are also available through an intermediary that has
agreed with Invesco Distributors, Inc. to make such shares available for use in
retail omnibus accounts that generally process no more than one net redemption
and one net purchase transaction each day.
Shareholders
eligible to purchase Class R6 Shares must meet the requirements
specified by their intermediary. Not all intermediaries offer Class R6
Shares to their customers.
Class S
Shares
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, or
if you currently own Class Y shares held in a previously eligible account (as
outlined in (i) in the above paragraph) for which you no longer have a financial
intermediary.
Investor
Class Shares
Investor
Class shares are sold with no initial sales charge and have a maximum 12b-1 fee
of 0.25%. Only the following persons may purchase Investor Class
shares:
■
Investors who
established accounts prior to April 1, 2002, in Investor Class shares with
Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) who have continuously
maintained an account in Investor Class shares (this includes anyone listed in
the registration of an account, such as a joint owner, trustee or custodian, and
immediate family members of such persons) without a designated intermediary.
These investors are referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered
investors.”
■
Customers of
a financial intermediary that has had an agreement with the Funds’ distributor
or any Funds that offered Investor Class shares prior to
April 1,
2002, that has continuously maintained such agreement. These intermediaries are
referred to as “Investor Class grandfathered intermediaries.”
■
Any current,
former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee (or immediate family
member of a current, former or retired trustee, director, officer or employee)
of any Invesco Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
For
additional shareholder eligibility requirements with respect to Invesco
Premier Portfolio, please see “Shareholder Account Information – Purchasing
Shares and Shareholder Eligibility – Invesco Premier Portfolio.”
Distribution
and Service (12b-1) Fees
Except as
noted below, each Fund has adopted a service and/or distribution plan pursuant
to SEC Rule 12b-1. A 12b-1 plan allows a Fund to pay distribution and service
fees to Invesco Distributors to compensate or reimburse, as applicable, Invesco
Distributors for its efforts in connection with the sale and distribution of the
Fund’s shares, all or a substantial portion of which are paid to the dealer of
record. Because the Funds pay these fees out of their assets on an ongoing
basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may
cause you to pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charges described
in this prospectus.
The following
Funds and share classes do not have 12b-1 plans:
■
Invesco
Limited Term Municipal Income Fund, Class A2 shares.
■
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
■
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
■
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
■
All Funds,
Class Y, Class R5 and Class R6 shares
Under
the applicable service and/or distribution plan, the Funds may pay
distribution and/or service fees up to the following annual rates with respect
to each Fund’s average daily net assets with respect to such class (subject to
the exceptions noted on page A-1):
■
Class A
shares: 0.25%
■
Class C
shares: 1.00%
■
Class P
shares: 0.10%
■
Class R
shares: 0.50%
■
Class S
shares: 0.15%
■
Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares: 0.15%
■
Investor
Class shares: 0.25%
Please
refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on a particular
Fund’s 12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are
grouped into six categories for determining initial sales charges. The “Other
Information” section of each Fund’s prospectus will tell you the sales charge
category in which the Fund is classified. Additionally, Class A shares of
Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund do not
have initial sales charges. As used below, the term “offering price” with
respect to all categories of Class A shares includes the initial sales
charge.
If
you purchase $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares of Category I, II or V Funds or
$250,000 or more of Class A shares of Category IV or VI Funds (a Large Purchase)
the initial sales charge set forth below will be waived; though your shares will
be subject to a 1% CDSC if you don’t hold such shares for at least 18
months.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
The
availability of certain sales charge waivers and discounts will depend on how
you purchase your shares. Intermediaries may have different policies and
procedures regarding the availability of front-end sales load waivers or
contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”) waivers, exchanges or
conversions between classes or exchanges between Funds; account investment
minimums; and minimum account balances, which are discussed below. In all
instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify the Fund or the
purchaser’s financial intermediary at the time of purchase of any relationship
or other facts qualifying the purchaser for sales charge waivers, discounts or
other special arrangements. For waivers and discounts not available through a
particular intermediary, shareholders should consult their financial advisor to
consider their options.
The
following types of investors may purchase Class A shares without
paying an
initial sales charge:
Waivers
Offered by the Fund
■
Investors who
purchase shares through a fee-based advisory account with an approved financial
intermediary. In a fee based advisory program, a financial intermediary
typically charges each investor a fee based on the value of the investor’s
account in exchange for servicing that account.
■
Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans maintained on retirement platforms or by
the Funds’ transfer agent or its affiliates (but not including plans utilizing
the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial
accounts thereunder):

with assets
of at least $1 million; or
■
with at least
100 employees eligible to participate in the plan; or
■
that execute
plan level or multiple-plan level transactions through a single omnibus account
per Fund.
■
Any investor
who purchases his or her shares with the proceeds of an in kind rollover,
transfer or distribution from a Retirement and Benefit Plan where the account
being funded by such rollover is to be maintained by the same financial
intermediary, trustee, custodian or administrator that maintained the plan from
which the rollover distribution funding such rollover originated, or an
affiliate thereof.
■
Investors who
own Investor Class shares of a Fund, who purchase Class A shares of a
different Fund through the same account in which the Investor Class Shares were
first purchased.
■
Funds of
funds or other pooled investment vehicles.
■
Insurance
company separate accounts.
■
Any current
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco Fund or of
Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries.
■
Any
registered representative or employee of any financial intermediary who has an
agreement with Invesco Distributors to sell shares of the Invesco Funds (this
includes any members of his or her immediate family).
■
Any investor
purchasing shares through a financial intermediary that has a written
arrangement with the Funds’ distributor in which the Funds’ distributor has
agreed to participate in a no transaction fee program in which the financial
intermediary will make Class A shares available without the imposition of a
sales charge.
■
Former
shareholders of Atlas Strategic Income Fund who purchase shares of a Fund into
which shareholders of Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund may exchange if
permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
■
Former
shareholders of Oppenheimer Total Return Fund Periodic Investment Plan who
purchase shares of a Fund into which shareholders of Invesco Main Street Fund
may exchange if permitted by the intermediary’s policies.
■
Certain
participants in Employer-Sponsored IRA Plans utilizing Invesco Trust Company
custodial accounts who were offered Class A shares without an initial sales
charge prior to December 15, 2023, and who continue to purchase Class A
shares.
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.

Edward
D.
Jones
& Co., L.P.
(“Edward
Jones”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after December 15, 2023, the following information supersedes
prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares
through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as
“shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and
fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts
(also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of
additional information (“SAI”) or through another broker-dealer. In all
instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the
time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of Invesco funds, or other facts
qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for
documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if
they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and
waivers.
■
Breakpoints
■
Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in
the prospectus.
■
Rights of
Accumulation (“ROA”)
■
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking
into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets
held in group retirement plans) of
A-5 The
Invesco Funds
Invesco funds
held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other
accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing
groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes
held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion
of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the
shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation.
Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales
charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with
a sales charge.
■
The employer
maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or
change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level
grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing
group level.
■
ROA is
determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value
(current shares x NAV).
■
Letter of
Intent (“LOI”)
■
Through a
LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for
purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date
Edward Jones receives the LOI.
The LOI is
determined
by
calculating
the higher of cost or market value
of qualifying
holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder
intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge
and any breakpoint
discounts.
Each purchase
the shareholder makes during that 13-month
period will
receive the sales charge and
breakpoint
discount
that applies
to the total amount.
The inclusion
of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the
shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation.
Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under
the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will
be adjusted if LOI is not met.
■
If the
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to
establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a
plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be
established by the employer.
■
Sales Charge
Waivers
Sales charges
are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
■
Associates of
Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts in the same pricing group (as
determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate.
This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate's life if the
associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good
standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
■
Shares
purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
■
Shares

reinvestment. Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same
fund family

and purchase

a share
class that
charges a
front load
and one of the following:
•
The
redemption and repurchase occur in the same account.
•
The

contributions, conversion, recharacterizing of contributions, or distribution,
and the repurchase is done in an account within the same Edward Jones grouping
for ROA.
■
Shares

is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones.
Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if
applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as
disclosed in the prospectus.

waivers) and discounts, which differ from those disclosed elsewhere in this
prospectus or SAI. Purchasers will have to buy mutual fund shares directly from
the mutual fund company or through another intermediary to be eligible for
waivers or discounts not listed below.
It
is the client’s responsibility to notify Merrill at the time of purchase or
sale of any
relationship or other facts that qualify the transaction for a waiver or
discount. A Merrill representative may ask for reasonable documentation of such
facts and Merrill may condition the granting of a waiver or discount on the
timely receipt of such documentation.
Additional
information on waivers and discounts is available in the Merrill Sales
Load Waiver and Discounts Supplement (the “Merrill SLWD Supplement”) and in the
Mutual Fund Investing at Merrill pamphlet at ml.com/funds. Clients are
encouraged to review these documents and speak with their financial advisor to
determine whether a transaction is eligible for a waiver or
discount.

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”)
Policies
Regarding Transactions Through PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to
transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through PFSI and held
on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services
(“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund
shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which
can differ from share classes, discounts and waivers described elsewhere in this
prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through
another broker-dealer. In all
A-8 The
Invesco Funds
instances, it
is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of
all holdings of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the
purchaser for discounts or waivers. PFSI may request reasonable documentation of
such facts, and condition the granting of any discount or waiver on the timely
receipt of such documents. Shareholders should contact PSS if they have
questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and
waivers.
Share
Classes
■
Class A
shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP
IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account types unless expressly
provided for below.
■
Class C
shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share holdings.
Breakpoints
■
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are
purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
■
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking
into account all share classes (except any assets held in group retirement
plans) of Invesco Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS Platform. The
inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on
the shareholder notifying PFSI of such assets at the time of calculation. Shares
of money market funds are included only if such shares were acquired in exchange
for shares of another Invesco Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of
Invesco Funds held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted
ROA with shares of any Invesco Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
■
Any SEP IRA
plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the PSS
platform will be defaulted to plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, which
allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in
plan accounts on the PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may
elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing
employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform, but not with
all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in
plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping will not be available for
purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
■
ROA is
determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current market
value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
■
By executing
a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for
purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period through PFSI, from
the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI is determined by
calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI
initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder intends to
invest over a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for purposes of
determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end sales charge.
Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the
sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the projected total
investment.
■
Only holdings
of Invesco Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for inclusion in the LOI
calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of all eligible assets at the
time of calculation.
■
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the
LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be
automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not
met.
■
If an
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the PSS
platform has elected to establish or change ROA for the accounts associated with
the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may
only be established by the employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans on
the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are available
to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping for
purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
■
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend
reinvestment.
■
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long
as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are from the sale of shares
within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same
share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual
retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account,
and 3) the redeemed shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load,
Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after
shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance fees are not eligible
for this sales charge waiver.
■
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange
is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of PFSI. PFSI is
responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any
future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the
prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held
on the PSS Platform

Qualifying
for Reduced Sales Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
In all
instances, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to notify Invesco Distributors
or its designee of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser as
eligible for reduced sales charges and/or sales charge exceptions and to provide
all necessary documentation of such facts in order to qualify for reduced sales
charges or sales charge exceptions. For additional information on linking
accounts to qualify for ROA or LOI, please see the Funds’ SAI.
The
following types of accounts qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge
exceptions under ROAs and LOIs:
1.
an individual
account owner;
2.
immediate
family of the individual account owner (which includes the individual’s spouse
or domestic partner; the individual’s children, step-children or grandchildren;
the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s children, step-children or
grandchildren; the individual’s parents and step-parents; the parents or
step-parents of the individual’s spouse or domestic partner; the individual’s
grandparents; and the individual’s siblings);
3.
a Retirement
and Benefit Plan so long as the plan is established exclusively for the benefit
of an individual account owner;
4.
a Coverdell
Education Savings Account (Coverdell ESA), maintained pursuant to
Section 530 of the Code (in either case, the account must be established by
an individual account owner or have an individual account owner named as the
beneficiary thereof); and
5.
certain
participants utilizing an Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account who were granted
ROA at the plan level (as described below) prior to December 15, 2023, and who
continue to purchase Class A shares.
Alternatively,
an Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan (but not including
plans utilizing the Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the
individual custodial accounts thereunder) or Employer Sponsored IRA may be
eligible to purchase shares pursuant to a ROA at the plan level, and receive a
reduced applicable initial sales charge for a new purchase based on the total
value of the current purchase and the value of other shares owned by the plan’s
participants if:
a)
the employer
or plan sponsor submits all contributions for all
participating
employees in a single contribution transmittal (the Invesco Funds will not
accept separate contributions submitted with respect to individual
participants);
b)
each
transmittal is accompanied by checks or wire transfers; and
c)
the Invesco
Funds are expected to carry separate accounts in the names of each of the plan
participants,
and each new
participant account is established by submitting an appropriate Account
Application on behalf of each new participant with the contribution
transmittal.
The
Fund's transfer agent may link new participant accounts in Employer
Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans (but not including plans utilizing the
Invesco 403(b)(7) Custodial Account program, or the individual custodial
accounts thereunder) and Employer Sponsored IRAs at the plan level for ROA for
the purpose of qualifying those participants for lower initial sales charge
rates.
Participant
accounts in a retirement plan that are eligible to purchase shares
pursuant to a ROA at the plan level may not also be considered eligible to do so
for the benefit of an individual account owner.
Purchases
of Class A shares of Invesco Conservative Income Fund, Invesco
Government Money Market Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Class AX
shares or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market Fund
and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio, as applicable, or Investor Class
shares of any Fund will not be taken into account in determining whether a
purchase qualifies for a reduction in initial sales charges pursuant to ROAs or
LOIs.
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.
A-11 The
Invesco Funds
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs
on Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Any shares of
a Large Purchase of Class A shares redeemed prior to 18 months after the date of
purchase will be subject to a CDSC of 1% with the exception of Class A shares of
Invesco Conservative Income Fund and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund which do
not have CDSCs on redemptions.
If
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to a financial intermediary in
connection
with a Large Purchase of Class A shares by an Employer Sponsored Retirement and
Benefit Plan or SIMPLE IRA Plan, the Class A shares will be subject to a 1% CDSC
if all of the Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or SIMPLE IRA’s
shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial
purchase.
If
you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares or Class A shares of Invesco
Government Money Market Fund or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio through an exchange involving Class A shares that
were subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will
continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares
Class C
shares are subject to a CDSC; however, the CDSC shall not apply to the purchases
of Class C shares where the selling broker-dealer was not paid a commission at
the time of purchase. If you redeem your shares during the first year since your
purchase has been made you will be assessed a CDSC as disclosed in the “Fees and
Expenses - Shareholder Fees” table in the prospectus, unless you qualify for one
of the CDSC exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares – Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and Employer
Sponsored IRAs
Class C
shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the
Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plan’s or Employer Sponsored IRA’s
shares are redeemed within one year from the date of initial
purchase.
CDSCs
on Class C Shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund
Effective
November 1, 2021, Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund are subject to
a CDSC. If you acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an
exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not
subject to a CDSC prior to November 1, 2021, then the shares acquired as a
result of the exchange will not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing
a CDSC
The CDSC on
redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower of their original purchase
price or current net asset value, net of reinvested dividends and capital gains
distributions. In determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for
on a first-in, first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on which
there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of their
purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors who
own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC will not pay a CDSC in the
following circumstances:
■
If you
participate in the Systematic Redemption Plan and withdraw up to 12% of the
value of your shares that are subject to a CDSC in any twelve-month
period.
■
If you redeem
shares to pay account fees.
■
If you are
the executor, administrator or beneficiary of an estate or are otherwise
entitled to assets remaining in an account following the death or post-purchase
disability of a shareholder or beneficial owner and you choose to redeem those
shares.
There
are other circumstances under which you may be able to redeem shares
without paying CDSCs. For additional information about such
circumstances,
please see the Appendix entitled “Purchase, Redemption and Pricing of Shares” in
each Fund’s SAI.
Shares
acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions are not
subject to CDSCs.
The following
share classes are sold without a CDSC:
■
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited
Term Municipal Income Fund

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

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
A-13 The
Invesco Funds
Class R5
shares. If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, the terms by
which you purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ than the terms in this
prospectus depending upon the policies and procedures of your financial
intermediary.
Purchase
orders will not be processed unless the account application and purchase
payment are received in good order. In accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if
you fail to provide all the required information requested in the current
account application, your purchase order will not be processed. Additionally,
federal law requires that the Funds verify and record your identifying
information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6
shares)
You can
arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by authorizing the Funds’
transfer agent to withdraw the amount of your investment from your bank account
on a day or dates you specify and in an amount of at least $25 per Fund for IRAs
and Coverdell ESAs, and at least $50 per Fund for all other types of accounts (a
Systematic Purchase Plan). You may stop the Systematic Purchase Plan at any time
by giving the Funds’ transfer agent notice ten days prior to your next scheduled
withdrawal. Certain financial advisers and other financial intermediaries may
also offer systematic purchase plans.
Dollar
Cost Averaging (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6
shares)
Dollar Cost
Averaging allows you to make automatic periodic exchanges, if permitted, from
one Fund to another Fund or multiple other Funds. The account from which
exchanges are to be made must have a minimum balance of $5,000 before you can
use this option. Exchanges will occur on (or about) the day of the month you
specify, in the amount you specify. Dollar Cost Averaging cannot be set up for
the 29th through the 31st of the month. The minimum amount you can exchange to
another Fund is $50. Your financial intermediary may offer alternative dollar
cost averaging programs with different requirements.
Automatic
Dividend and Distribution Investment
Your
dividends and distributions may be paid in cash or reinvested in the same Fund
or another Fund without paying an initial sales charge.
Unless
you specify otherwise, your dividends and distributions will automatically
be reinvested in the same Fund. You must comply with the following requirements
to be eligible to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another
Fund:
■
Your account
balance in the Fund paying the dividend or distribution must be at least $5,000;
and
■
Your account
balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or distribution must be at least
$500.
If
you elect to receive your distributions by check, and the distribution
amount is $25
or less, then the amount will be automatically reinvested in the same Fund and
no check will be issued. If you have elected to receive distributions by check,
and the postal service is unable to deliver checks to your address of record,
then your distribution election may be converted to having all subsequent
distributions reinvested in the same Fund and no checks will be issued. With
respect to certain account types, if your check remains uncashed for six months,
the Fund generally reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in
your account at the then applicable NAV and to reinvest all subsequent
distributions in shares of the Fund. Such checks will be reinvested into the
same share class of the Fund. You should contact the Funds’ transfer agent to
change your distribution option, and your request to do so must be received by
the Funds’ transfer agent before the record date for a distribution in order to
be effective for that distribution. No interest will accrue on amounts
represented by uncashed distribution checks.
Redeeming
Shares*
The Funds’
transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must receive your call
before the Funds’ net asset value determination (as defined by the applicable
Fund) in order to effect the redemption at that day’s net asset
value.
Your
broker or financial intermediary may charge service fees for handling
redemption transactions.

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

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
A-14 The
Invesco Funds
unusual
circumstances, as allowed by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or
suspends trading.
In
addition, a temporary hold may be placed on the disbursement of redemption
proceeds from an account if there is a reasonable belief that financial
exploitation of a Specified Adult (as defined below) has occurred, is occurring,
has been attempted, or will be attempted. Notice of such a delay will be
provided in accordance with regulatory requirements. This temporary hold will be
for an initial period of no more than 15 business days while an internal review
is performed. Should the internal review support the belief that financial
exploitation has occurred, is occurring, has been attempted or will be
attempted, the temporary hold may be extended for up to 10 additional business
days. Both the initial and subsequent hold on the disbursement may be terminated
or extended by a state regulator or an agency or court of competent
jurisdiction. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Specified Adult” refers
to an individual who is (a) a natural person age 65 and older, or (b) a natural
person age 18 and older who is reasonably believed to have a mental or physical
impairment that renders the individual unable to protect his or her own
interests.
If
you redeem by telephone, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit the
amount of
redemption proceeds electronically to your pre-authorized bank account.
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via first class U.S.
mail, unless you make other arrangements with the Funds’ transfer
agent.
The
Funds’ transfer agent uses reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and the Funds and the
Funds’ transfer agent are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in
accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be
genuine.
A
Fund typically expects to use holdings of cash and cash equivalents and sales of
portfolio assets to meet redemption requests, both regularly and in stressed
market conditions. The Funds also have the ability to redeem in kind as further
described below under “Redemptions in Kind.” Certain Funds have a line of
credit, as disclosed in such Funds’ principal investment strategy and risk
disclosures that may be used to meet redemptions in stressed market
conditions.
Expedited
Redemptions (for Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Government Money Market
Fund and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio only)
If you place
your redemption order by telephone, before 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request
an expedited redemption, the Funds’ transfer agent will transmit payment of
redemption proceeds on that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on
your account. If the Funds’ transfer agent receives your redemption order after
11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the customary trading session of
the NYSE, it will transmit payment on the next business day.
Suspension
of Redemptions
The right of
redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed when (a) trading on
the NYSE is restricted, as determined by applicable rules and regulations of the
SEC, (b) the NYSE is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday
closings, (c) the SEC has by order permitted such suspension, or (d) an
emergency as determined by the SEC exists making disposition of portfolio
securities or the valuation of the net assets of the Fund not reasonably
practicable. With respect to Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S.
Government Money Portfolio, in the event that the Fund, at the end of a business
day, has invested less than 10% of its total assets in weekly liquid assets or,
with respect to the retail and government money market funds, the Fund’s price
per share as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption and
repurchase, rounded to the nearest 1%, has deviated from the stable price
established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) or the Board, including a
majority of trustees who are not interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act,
determines that such a deviation is likely to occur, and the Board, including a
majority of trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, irrevocably has
approved the liquidation of the Fund, the Fund’s Board has the authority to
suspend redemptions of Fund shares.
Liquidity
Fees
For Invesco
Premier Portfolio, the Board, in its discretion, may impose liquidity fees of up
to 2% of the value of the shares redeemed, if such fee is determined to be in
the
best interest
of the Fund.
The Board has
delegated liquidity fee determinations to the Adviser or its officers, subject
to written guidelines.
Liquidity
fees are most
likely to be imposed, if at all, during times of extraordinary market stress. In
the event that a liquidity fee is imposed, the Board expects that for the
duration of its implementation and the day after which such fee is terminated,
the Fund would strike only one net asset value per day, at the Fund’s last
scheduled net asset value calculation time.
The
imposition and termination of a liquidity fee will be
available on the Fund’s website. If a liquidity fee is applied by the Board, it
will be charged on all redemption orders submitted after the effective time of
the imposition of the fee by the Board. Liquidity fees would reduce the amount
you receive upon redemption of your shares.
Liquidity
fees will
generally be used to assist a Fund to help preserve its market–based NAV per
share. It is possible that a liquidity fee will be returned to shareholders in
the form of a distribution. The Board may, in its discretion, terminate a
liquidity fee at any time if it believes such action to be in the best interest
of a Fund. When a fee is in place, the Fund may elect not to permit the purchase
of shares or to subject the purchase of shares to certain conditions, which may
include affirmation of the purchaser’s knowledge that a fee is in effect. When a
fee is in place, shareholders will not be permitted to exchange into or out of a
Fund.
There
is some degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity
fees received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject 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.
Financial
intermediaries are required to promptly take the steps requested by
the Funds or their designees to impose or help to implement a liquidity fee as
requested from time to time, including the rejection of orders due to the
imposition of a fee or the prompt re-confirmation of orders following a
notification regarding the implementation of a fee. If a liquidity fee is
imposed, these steps are expected to include the submission of separate, rather
than combined, purchase and redemption orders from the time of the effectiveness
of the liquidity fee and the submission of such order information to the Fund or
its designee prior to the next calculation of a Fund’s net asset value. Unless
otherwise agreed to between a Fund and financial intermediary, the Fund will
withhold liquidity fees on behalf of financial intermediaries. With regard to
such orders, a redemption request that a Fund determines in its sole discretion
has been received in good order by the Fund or its designated agent prior to the
imposition of a liquidity fee may be paid by the Fund without the deduction of a
liquidity fee. If a liquidity fee is imposed during the day, an intermediary who
receives both purchase and redemption orders from a single account holder is not
required to net the purchase and redemption orders. However, the intermediary is
permitted to apply the liquidity fee to the net amount of redemptions (even if
the purchase order was received prior to the time the liquidity fee was
imposed).
Where
a financial
intermediary serves as a Fund’s agent for the purpose of receiving orders,
trades that are not transmitted to the Fund by the financial intermediary before
the time required by the Fund or the transfer agent may, in the Fund’s
discretion, be processed on an as-of basis, and any cost or loss to the Fund or
transfer agent or their affiliates, from such transactions shall be borne
exclusively by the financial intermediary.
Systematic
Withdrawals (Available for all classes except Class R5 and R6
shares)
You may
arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your account in amounts equal to
or greater than $50 per Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent will redeem the
appropriate number of shares from your account to provide redemption proceeds in
the amount requested. You must have a total account balance of at least $5,000
in order to establish a Systematic Redemption Plan, unless you are establishing
a Required Minimum Distribution for a Retirement and Benefit Plan. You can stop
this plan at any time by giving ten days’ prior notice to the Funds’ transfer
agent.
A-15 The
Invesco Funds
Check
Writing
The Funds’
transfer agent has previously provided check writing privileges for accounts in
the following Funds and share classes:
■
Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares, Class AX shares,
Class Y shares and Investor Class shares
■
Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares and Class Y
shares
■
Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
■
Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class shares
Effective
August
28,
2023,
the
Funds’
transfer
agent no longer accepts Check Writing
authorization
forms and,
effective
December
31,
2023,
the
Fund’s transfer agent ceased accepting checks as a valid form of
redemption.
Check
writing privileges are not available for Retirement and Benefit Plans. Checks
are not eligible to be converted to ACH by the payee. You may not give
authorization to a payee by phone to debit your account by ACH for a debt owed
to the payee.
If
you do not have a sufficient number of shares in your account to cover the
amount of the check and any applicable deferred sales charge, the check will be
returned and no shares will be redeemed. Because it is not possible to determine
your account’s value in advance, you should not write a check for the entire
value of your account or try to close your account by writing a
check.
Signature
Guarantees
The Funds’
transfer agent requires a signature guarantee in the following
circumstances:
■
When your
redemption proceeds exceed $250,000 per Fund.
■
When you
request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the registered
owner of the account.
■
When you
request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere other than the address of
record or bank of record on the account.
■
When you
request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new address or an address that
changed in the last 15 days.
The
Funds’ transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a
number of
different types of financial institutions. Call the Funds’ transfer agent for
additional information. Some institutions have transaction amount maximums for
these guarantees. Please check with the guarantor institution to determine
whether the signature guarantee offered will be sufficient to cover the value of
your transaction request.
Redemptions
in Kind
Although the
Funds generally intend to pay redemption proceeds solely in cash, the Funds
reserve the right to determine, in their sole discretion, whether to satisfy
redemption requests by making payment in securities or other property (known as
a redemption in kind). Redemptions in kind may result in transaction costs
and/or market fluctuations associated with liquidating or holding the
securities, respectively.
Purchases-in-Kind
You may
purchase shares of a Fund by transferring securities to a Fund in exchange for
Fund shares (“in-kind purchases”). In-kind purchases may be made only upon the
Funds’ approval and determination that the securities are acceptable investments
for the Fund and are purchased consistent with the Fund’s procedures relating to
in-kind purchases. The Funds reserve the right to amend or terminate this
practice at any time. You must call the Funds at (800) 959-4246 before sending
any securities. Please see the SAI for additional details.
Redemptions
by Large Shareholders
At times, the
Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem large
amounts of shares of the Fund. Large redemptions may cause the Fund to sell
portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so. In addition,
these transactions may also accelerate the realization of taxable income to
shareholders (if applicable) if such sales of investments resulted in gains and
may also increase transaction costs and/or increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.
When experiencing a redemption by a large shareholder, the Fund may delay
payment of
the redemption request up to seven days to provide the investment manager with
time to determine if the Fund can redeem the request-in-kind or to consider
other alternatives to lessen the harm to remaining shareholders. Under certain
circumstances, however, the Fund may be unable to delay a redemption request,
which could result in the automatic processing of a large redemption that is
detrimental to the Fund and its remaining shareholders.
Redemptions
Initiated by the Funds
If your
account has been open at least one year, you have not made an additional
purchase in the account during the past six calendar months, and the value of
your account falls below $500 for three consecutive months for any reason,
including market fluctuation, the Funds have the right to redeem the account
after giving you 60 days’ prior written notice. You may avoid having your
account redeemed during the notice period by bringing the account value up to
$500 or by initiating a Systematic Purchase Plan.
A
financial intermediary may have a different policy regarding redemptions
of accounts with small balances. The Fund is not responsible for any small
account balance policies imposed by financial intermediaries or for notifying
shareholders of any changes to them. See “Waivers Available Through Certain
Financial Intermediaries and Other Financial Intermediary-Specific Arrangements”
for more information on certain intermediary-specific small account balance
policies. Please consult with your financial intermediary if you have any
questions regarding their policies.
If
a Fund determines that you have not provided a correct Social Security or
other tax identification number on your account application, or the Fund is not
able to verify your identity as required by law, the Fund may, at its
discretion, redeem the account and distribute the proceeds to you.
In
order to separate retail investors (natural persons) and non-retail investors,
the Invesco Premier Portfolio reserve the right to redeem shares in any account
that the Funds cannot confirm to their satisfaction are beneficially owned by
natural persons. The Funds will provide advance written notice of their intent
to make any such involuntary redemptions. The Funds reserve the right to redeem
shares in any account that they cannot confirm to their satisfaction are
beneficially owned by natural persons, after providing advance
notice.
Neither
a Fund nor its investment adviser will be responsible for any loss in an
investor’s account or tax liability resulting from an involuntary
redemption.
Minimum
Account Balance
A low balance
fee of $12 per year (the Low Balance Fee) may be deducted annually from all
accounts held in the Funds (each a Fund Account) with a value less than $750
(the Low Balance Amount).
The Low
Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount are determined by the Funds and the Adviser,
and may be adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including market
conditions. The Low Balance Fee, Low Balance Amount and the date on which the
Low Balance Fee will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted on our
website, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 1 of each year. This fee is
collected by the Funds' transfer agent by redeeming sufficient shares from the
shareholder's Fund Account,
and is used
to reduce the expenses that would otherwise be payable by the Funds to the
Funds' transfer agent under the Funds'
agreement
with the transfer agent.
The
Low Balance Fee and Low Balance Amount do not apply to Fund Accounts held
in a Retirement and Benefit Plan for which an Invesco Affiliate acts as the plan
document provider or custodian for underlying participant or IRA accounts.
However, for purposes of all other Retirement and Benefit Plans, the Low Balance
Fee and Low Balance Amount shall apply to each Fund Account (as appropriate)
that is maintained by the Funds' transfer agent in the underlying participant or
IRA Account.
The
Funds and the Adviser reserve the right to waive the Low Balance Fee, change
the Low Balance amount or modify the conditions for assessment of the Low
Balance Fee at any time.
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
A-16 The
Invesco Funds
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

of
any other Fund, you may exchange those Class A, C or R shares back into
Class Y shares of
Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, but not Class Y shares of any other
Fund. | |
Exchanges
into Invesco Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity
Fund
Invesco
Senior Loan Fund and Invesco Dynamic Credit Opportunity Fund (the “Interval
Funds”) are closed-end interval funds that continuously offer their shares
pursuant to the terms and conditions of their prospectuses. The Adviser is the
investment adviser for the Interval Funds. As with the Invesco Funds, you
generally may exchange your shares of any Invesco Fund for the same class of
shares of the Interval Funds. Please refer to the prospectuses for the Interval
Funds for more information, including the share classes offered by each Interval
Fund and limitations on exchanges out of the Interval Funds.
Exchanges
Not Permitted
The following
exchanges are not permitted:
■
Investor
Class shares cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of any Fund which
offers Investor Class shares.
■
Class A2
shares of Invesco Short Duration Inflation Protected Fund and Invesco Limited
Term Municipal Income Fund cannot be exchanged for Class A shares of
those Funds.
■
Invesco Cash
Reserve Shares cannot be exchanged for Class C or R shares if the shares
being exchanged were acquired by exchange from Class A shares of any
Fund.
■
All existing
systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease and these options will no
longer be available on all 403(b) prototype plans.
■
Class A, C or
R shares of a Fund acquired by exchange of Class Y shares of Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio cannot be exchanged for Class Y shares of any Fund,
except Class Y shares of Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Exchange
Conditions
Shares must
have been held for at least one day prior to the exchange with the exception of
dividends and distributions that are reinvested.
Under
unusual market conditions, a Fund may delay the exchange of shares for up
to five business days if it determines that it would be materially disadvantaged
by the immediate transfer of exchange proceeds. The exchange privilege is not an
option or right to purchase shares. Any of the participating Funds or the
distributor may modify or terminate this privilege at any time.
Initial
Sales Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees Applicable to Exchanges
You may be
required to pay an initial sales charge when exchanging from a Fund with a lower
initial sales charge than the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange
into shares that are subject to a CDSC, the Funds’ transfer agent will begin the
holding period for purposes of calculating the CDSC on the date you made your
initial purchase.
In
addition, as a result of differences in the forms of distribution plans
among the
Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares, Class C shares, and Class R shares
of a Fund for the same class of shares of another Fund may result in investors
paying a higher or a lower 12b-1 fee on the Fund being exchanged into. Please
refer to the prospectus fee table and financial highlights table and the SAI for
more information on the fees and expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of
the Fund you wish to acquire.
Share
Class Conversions
Shares of one
class of a Fund may be converted into shares of another class of the same Fund,
provided that you are eligible to buy that share class. Investors who hold Fund
shares through a financial intermediary that does not have an agreement to make
certain share classes of the Funds available or that cannot systematically
support the conversion may not be eligible to convert their shares. Furthermore,
your financial intermediary may have discretion to effect a conversion on your
behalf. Consult with your financial intermediary for details. Any CDSC
associated with the converting shares will be assessed immediately prior to the
conversion to the new share class. The conversion of shares of one class of a
Fund into shares of another class of the same Fund is not taxable for federal
income tax purposes and no gain or loss will be reported on the transaction. See
the applicable prospectus for share class information.
Fees
and expenses differ between share classes. You should read the prospectus
for the share class into which you are seeking to convert your shares prior to
the conversion.
Automatic
Conversion of Class C and Class CX Shares
Class C and
Class CX shares held for eight years after purchase are eligible for automatic
conversion into Class A and Class AX shares of the same Fund, respectively,
except that for the Invesco Government Money Market Fund and Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio, the Funds’ Class C and/or Class CX shares would be
eligible to automatically convert into the Fund’s Invesco Cash Reserve Share
Class and all existing Class C shares of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund will
automatically convert to Class A shares of that Fund at the end of June 2022
(the Conversion Feature). The automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion
Feature will generally occur at the end of the month following the eighth
anniversary after a purchase of Class C or Class CX shares (the Conversion
Date). The first conversion of Class C and Class CX shares to Class A and Class
AX shares under this policy would occur at the end of December 2020 for all
Class C and Class CX shares that were held for more than eight years as of
November 30, 2020.
Automatic
conversions pursuant to the Conversion Feature will be on the basis of
the NAV per share, without the imposition of any sales charge (including a
CDSC), fee or other charge. All such automatic conversions of Class C and Class
CX shares will constitute tax-free exchanges for federal income tax
purposes.
Class
C and Class CX shares of a Fund acquired through a reinvestment of dividends
and distributions will convert to Class A and Class AX shares, respectively, of
the Fund (or Invesco Cash Reserve shares for Invesco
A-17 The
Invesco Funds
Government
Money Market Fund) on the Conversion Date pro rata with the converting Class C
and Class CX shares of that Fund that were not acquired through reinvestment of
dividends and distributions.
Class
C or Class CX shares held through a financial intermediary in existing
omnibus Employer Sponsored Retirement and Benefit Plans and other omnibus
accounts may be converted pursuant to the Conversion Feature by the financial
intermediary once it is determined that the Class C or Class CX shares have been
held for the required holding period. It is the financial intermediary’s (and
not the Fund’s) responsibility to keep records and to ensure that the
shareholder is credited with the proper holding period as the Fund and its
agents may not have transparency into how long a shareholder has held Class C or
Class CX shares for purposes of determining whether such Class C or Class CX
shares are eligible to automatically convert pursuant to the Conversion Feature.
In order to determine eligibility for automatic conversion in these
circumstances, it is the responsibility of the shareholder or their financial
intermediary to determine that the shareholder is eligible to exercise the
Conversion Feature, and the shareholder or their financial intermediary may be
required to maintain records that substantiate the holding period of Class C or
Class CX shares.
In
addition, a financial intermediary may sponsor and/or control programs or
platforms that impose a different conversion schedule or eligibility
requirements for conversions of Class C or Class CX shares. In these cases,
Class C and Class CX shares of certain shareholders may not be eligible for
automatic conversion pursuant to the Conversion Feature as described above. The
Fund has no responsibility for overseeing, monitoring or implementing a
financial intermediary’s process for determining whether a shareholder meets the
required holding period for automatic conversion. Please consult with your
financial intermediary if you have any questions regarding the Conversion
Feature.
Share
Class Conversions Not Permitted
The following
share class conversions are not permitted:
■
Conversions
into Class A from Class A2 of the same Fund.
■
Conversions
into Class A2, Class AX, Class CX, Class P or Class S of the same
Fund.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and
its agents reserve the right at any time to:
■
Reject or
cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange order.
■
Modify any
terms or conditions related to the purchase, redemption or exchange of shares of
any Fund.
■
Reject or
cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase Plan or Systematic
Redemption Plan.
■
Modify or
terminate any sales charge waivers or exceptions.
■
Suspend,
change or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this
prospectus.
Excessive
Short-Term Trading Activity (Market Timing) Disclosures
While the
Funds provide their shareholders with daily liquidity, their investment programs
are designed to serve long-term investors and are not designed to accommodate
excessive short-term trading activity in violation of our policies described
below. Excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds’ shares (i.e., a
purchase of Fund shares followed shortly thereafter by a redemption of such
shares, or vice versa) may hurt the long-term performance of certain Funds by
requiring them to maintain an excessive amount of cash or to liquidate portfolio
holdings at a disadvantageous time, thus interfering with the efficient
management of such Funds by causing them to incur increased brokerage and
administrative costs. Where excessive short-term trading activity seeks to take
advantage of arbitrage opportunities from stale prices for portfolio securities,
the value of Fund shares held by long-term investors may be diluted. The Board
has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or
short-term trading of Fund shares for all Funds except the money market funds,
Invesco Conservative Income Fund, and Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund.
However, there is the risk that these Funds’ policies and procedures will prove
ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent excessive or
short-term
trading. These Funds may alter their policies at any time without prior notice
to shareholders if the Adviser believes the change would be in the best
interests of long-term shareholders.
Invesco
and certain of its corporate affiliates (Invesco and such affiliates,
collectively, the Invesco Affiliates) currently use the following tools designed
to discourage excessive short-term trading in the retail Funds:
■
Trade
activity monitoring.
■
Discretion to
reject orders.
■
Purchase
blocking.
■
The use of
fair value pricing consistent with the valuation policy approved by the Board
and related procedures.
Each
of these tools is described in more detail below. Although these tools are
designed to discourage excessive short-term trading, you should understand that
none of these tools alone nor all of them taken together eliminate the
possibility that excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur.
Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are inherently subjective.
Invesco Affiliates seek to make these judgments to the best of their abilities
in a manner that they believe is consistent with long-term shareholder
interests.
Money
Market Funds. The Boards
of Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money
Portfolio (the money market funds) have not adopted any policies and procedures
that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Funds’ shares. The
Boards of the money market funds considered the risks of not having a specific
policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined that those
risks were minimal. Nonetheless, to the extent that a money market fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater
amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests,
the money market fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Boards of the money market funds do not believe that it is appropriate
to adopt any such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the
following reasons:
■
The money
market funds are offered to investors as cash management vehicles; therefore,
investors should be able to purchase and redeem shares regularly and
frequently.
■
One of the
advantages of a money market fund as compared to other investment options is
liquidity. Any policy that diminishes the liquidity of the money market funds
will be detrimental to the continuing operations of such Funds.
■
With respect
to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, the money
market funds’ portfolio securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost,
and such Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value. As a result, the
money market funds are not subject to price arbitrage opportunities.
■
With respect
to the money market funds maintaining a constant net asset value, because such
Funds seek to maintain a constant net asset value, investors are more likely to
expect to receive the amount they originally invested in the Funds upon
redemption than other mutual funds.
Invesco
Conservative Income Fund. The Board of
Invesco Conservative Income Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures
that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Conservative Income Fund considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined
that those risks were minimal especially in light of the reasons for not having
such a policy as described below. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater
amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests,
the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of the Invesco Conservative Income Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the
following reasons:
■
The Fund is
offered to investors as a cash management vehicle; investors perceive an
investment in the Fund as an alternative to cash and must be able to purchase
and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
A-18 The
Invesco Funds
■
One of the
advantages of the Fund as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any
policy that diminishes the liquidity of the Fund will be detrimental to the
continuing operations of the Fund.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs.
The
Fund and its agent reserve the right at any time to reject or cancel
any part of
any purchase order. This could occur if the Fund determines that such purchase
may disrupt the Fund’s operation or performance.
Invesco
Short Term Municipal Fund. The Board
of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund has not adopted any policies and procedures
that would limit frequent purchases and redemptions of such Fund’s shares. The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund considered the risks of not having a
specific policy that limits frequent purchases and redemptions, and determined
that those risks were minimal, especially in light of the reasons for not having
such a policy as described below. Nonetheless, to the extent that the Fund must
maintain additional cash and/or securities with short-term durations in greater
amounts than may otherwise be required or borrow to honor redemption requests,
the Fund’s yield could be negatively impacted.
The
Board of Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund does not believe that it is
appropriate to adopt any such policies and procedures for the Fund for the
following reasons:
■
The Fund is
designed to address the needs of retail investors who seek liquidity in their
investment and seek the ability to purchase and redeem shares at any
time.
■
Any policy
that diminishes the ability of shareholders to purchase and redeem shares of the
Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations of the Fund.
■
The Fund
generally invests in short duration liquid investment grade municipal
securities.
Excessive
trading activity in the Fund’s shares may cause the Fund to incur
increased brokerage and administrative costs. The Fund and its agent reserve the
right at any time to reject or cancel any part of any purchase order. This could
occur if the Fund determines that such purchase may disrupt the Fund’s operation
or performance.
Trade
Activity Monitoring
Invesco
Affiliates monitor selected trades on a daily basis in an effort to detect
excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring,
Invesco Affiliates believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive
short-term trading, they will seek to act in a manner that they believe is
consistent with the best interests of long-term investors, which may include
taking steps such as (i) asking the shareholder to take action to stop such
activities or (ii) refusing to process future purchases or exchanges related to
such activities in the shareholder’s accounts other than exchanges into a money
market fund. Invesco Affiliates will use reasonable efforts to apply the Funds’
policies uniformly given the practical limitations described above.
The
ability of Invesco Affiliates to monitor trades that are made through
accounts that
are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds’ transfer agent) and
through conduit investment vehicles may be limited or non-existent.
Discretion
to Reject Orders
If a Fund or
an Invesco Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your short-term
trading activity is excessive, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, reject any
additional purchase and exchange orders. This discretion may be exercised with
respect to purchase or exchange orders placed directly with the Funds’ transfer
agent or through a financial intermediary.
Purchase
Blocking Policy
The Funds
(except those listed below) have adopted a policy under which any shareholder
redeeming shares having a value of $50,000 or more from a Fund on any trading
day will be precluded from investing in that Fund for 30 calendar days after the
redemption transaction date. The policy applies to redemptions and purchases
that are part of exchange transactions. Under the purchase blocking policy,
certain purchases will not be prevented and certain redemptions will not trigger
a purchase block, such as: purchases
and
redemptions of shares having a value of less than $50,000; systematic purchase,
redemption and exchange account options; transfers of shares within the same
Fund; non-discretionary rebalancing in fund-of-funds; asset allocation features;
fee-based accounts; account maintenance fees; small balance account fees;
plan-level omnibus Retirement and Benefit Plans; death and disability and
hardship distributions; loan transactions; transfers of assets; Retirement and
Benefit Plan rollovers; IRA conversions and re-characterizations; and mandatory
distributions from Retirement and Benefit Plans.
The
Funds reserve the right to modify any of the parameters (including those not
listed above) of the purchase blocking policy at any time. Further, the purchase
blocking policy may be waived with respect to specific shareholder accounts in
those instances where the Adviser determines that its surveillance procedures
are adequate to detect frequent trading in Fund shares.
If
an account is maintained by a financial intermediary whose systems are unable to
apply Invesco’s purchase blocking policy, the Adviser will accept the
establishment of an account only if the Adviser believes the policies and
procedures are reasonably designed to enforce the frequent trading policies of
the Funds. You should refer to disclosures provided by the financial
intermediary with which you have an account to determine the specific trading
restrictions that apply to you. If the Adviser identifies any activity that may
constitute frequent trading, it reserves the right to contact the intermediary
and request that the intermediary either provide information regarding an
account owner’s transactions or restrict the account owner’s trading. There is
no guarantee that all instances of frequent trading in Fund shares will be
prevented.
The
purchase blocking policy does not apply to Invesco Conservative Income Fund,
Invesco Short Term Municipal Fund, Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco
Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination
of Net Asset Value
The price of
each Fund’s shares is the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds (except
Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio)
value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at
market value. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are
valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The
Funds (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio,
Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government
Money Portfolio) value securities and assets for which market quotations are
unavailable at their “fair value,” which is described below. Invesco Government
Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio value portfolio
securities on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value. This
method of valuation is designed to enable a Fund to price its shares at $1.00
per share. The Funds cannot guarantee their net asset value will always remain
at $1.00 per share. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are
valued in U.S. dollars based on the prevailing exchange rates on that day. The
Fund values securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable at
their “fair value,” which is described below.
Even
when market quotations are available, they may be stale or not representative
of market value in the Adviser’s judgment (“unreliable”) because the security is
not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the
trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased
trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on
which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates
its net asset value. Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation
to be unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency, events that
affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or
natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S.
market. Where
A-19 The
Invesco Funds
the Adviser
determines that the closing price of the security is stale or unreliable, the
Adviser will value the security at its fair value.
A
fair value price is an estimated price that requires consideration of all
appropriate
factors, including indications of fair value available from pricing services.
Fair value pricing involves judgment and a Fund that uses fair value
methodologies may value securities higher or lower than another Fund using
market quotations or its own fair value methodologies to price the same
securities. Investors who purchase or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund
is holding fair-valued securities may receive a greater or lesser number of
shares, or higher or lower redemption proceeds, than they would have received if
the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different
methodology.
The
Board has designated the Adviser to perform the daily determination
of fair value prices in accordance with Board approved policies and related
procedures, subject to the Board’s oversight. Fair value pricing methods and
pricing services can change from time to time.
The
intended effect of applying fair value pricing is to compute an NAV that
accurately reflects the value of a Fund’s portfolio at the time that the NAV is
calculated. An additional intended effect is to discourage those seeking to take
advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from “stale” prices and to
mitigate the dilutive impact of any such arbitrage. However, the application of
fair value pricing cannot eliminate the possibility that arbitrage opportunities
will exist.
Specific
types of securities are valued as follows:
Senior
Secured Floating Rate Loans and Senior Secured Floating Rate Debt
Securities. Senior
secured floating rate loans and senior secured floating rate debt securities are
fair valued using evaluated quotes provided by an independent pricing service.
Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service may reflect appropriate factors
such as market quotes, ratings, tranche type, industry, company performance,
spread, individual trading characteristics, institution-size trading in similar
groups of securities and other market data.
Domestic
Exchange Traded Equity Securities. Market
quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange traded
equity securities. If market quotations are not available or are unreliable, the
Adviser will value the security at fair value in good faith using the valuation
policy approved by the Board and related procedures.
Foreign
Securities. If market
quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity
securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because
trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE,
closing market quotations may become unreliable. If between the time trading
ends on a particular security and the close of the customary trading session on
the NYSE events occur that are significant and may make the closing price
unreliable, the Fund may fair value the security. If an issuer specific event
has occurred that the Adviser determines, in its judgment, is likely to have
affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at
fair value. The Adviser also relies on a screening process from a pricing vendor
to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing
price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current
market value as of the close of the NYSE. For foreign securities where the
Adviser believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the price is not
reflective of current market value, the Adviser will use the indication of fair
value from the pricing service to determine the fair value of the security. The
pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time
to time.
Fund
securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not
business days of the Fund. Because the net asset value of Fund shares is
determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio
securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when
you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.
Fixed
Income Securities. Fixed income
securities, such as government, corporate, asset-backed and municipal bonds,
convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, generally
are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services.
Prices provided by the pricing services may be determined without exclusive
reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as
institution-size trading in
similar
groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate,
maturity and other market data. Pricing services generally value fixed income
securities assuming orderly transactions of institutional round lot size, but a
Fund may hold or transact in the same securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd
lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots. Prices received
from pricing services are fair value prices. In addition, if the price provided
by the pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Adviser
will fair value the security using the valuation policy approved by the Board
and related procedures.
Short-term
Securities.
The
Funds
(except as
noted
below)
value
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. The Funds that operate as government money market or retail
money market funds value all of their securities at amortized cost.
Futures
and Options. Futures
contracts are valued at the final settlement price set by the exchange on which
they are principally traded. Where
a final
settlement price exists, exchange traded options are valued at the final
settlement price from the exchange where the option principally trades.
When
a final
settlement price does not exist, exchange traded options shall be valued at the
mean of the last bid/ask quotation generally from the exchange where the option
principally trades. Options not listed on an exchange and swaps generally are
valued using pricing provided from independent pricing services.
Rights
and Warrants. Non-traded
rights and warrants shall be valued at intrinsic value if the terms of the
rights and warrants are available, specifically the subscription or exercise
price and the ratio. Intrinsic value is calculated as the daily market closing
price of the security to be received less the subscription price, which is then
adjusted by the exercise ratio. In the case of warrants, an option pricing model
supplied by an independent pricing service may be used based on market data such
as volatility, stock price and interest rate from the independent pricing
service and strike price and exercise period from verified terms.
Swap
Agreements. Swap
Agreements are fair valued using an evaluated quote provided by a clearing house
or an independent pricing service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing
service are based on a model that may include end of day net present values,
spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end
Funds. If a Fund
invests in other open-end funds, other than open-end funds that are exchange
traded, the investing Fund will calculate its net asset value using the net
asset value of the underlying fund in which it invests, and the prospectuses for
such open-end funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair
value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
Each
Fund, except for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally
determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the NYSE is open for
trading (a business day) as of approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the
customary close of regular trading) or earlier in the case of a scheduled early
close. In the event of an unscheduled early close of the NYSE, each Fund, except
for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, generally still will determine the net
asset value of its shares as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that business day.
Portfolio securities traded on the NYSE would be valued at their closing prices
unless the Adviser determines that a “fair value” adjustment is appropriate due
to subsequent events occurring after an early close consistent with the
valuation policy approved by the Board and related procedures. Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine the net asset
value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on each business day. A
business day for Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio
and Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio is any day that (1) both the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a Fund’s custodian are open for business
and (2) the primary trading markets for the Fund’s portfolio instruments are
open and the Fund’s management believes there is an adequate market to meet
purchase and redemption requests. Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco
Premier Portfolio and Invesco
A-20 The
Invesco Funds
Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open for trading on a
day that is otherwise a business day if the Securities Industry and Financial
Markets Association (SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not
open for trading; any such day will not be considered a business day. Invesco
Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Invesco U.S. Government Money Portfolio
also may close early on a business day if SIFMA recommends that government
securities dealers close early. If Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco
Premier Portfolio or Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio uses
its discretion to close early on a business day, the Fund will calculate its net
asset value as of the time of such closing Invesco Premier Portfolio and Invesco
U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized to not open for trading on a day
that is otherwise a business day if the NYSE recommends that government
securities dealers not open for trading; any such day will not be considered a
business day. Invesco Premier Portfolio also may close early on a business day
if the NYSE recommends that government securities dealers close
early.
For
financial reporting purposes and shareholder transactions on the last day of
the fiscal quarter, transactions are normally accounted for on a trade date
basis. For purposes of executing shareholder transactions in the normal course
of business (other than shareholder transactions at a fiscal period-end), each
Fund’s portfolio securities transactions are recorded no later than the first
business day following the trade date.
The
Invesco Advantage International Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation
Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund, Invesco Floating Rate ESG
Fund, Invesco Fundamental Alternatives Fund, Invesco Global Allocation Fund,
Invesco Global Strategic Income Fund, Invesco Gold & Special Minerals Fund,
Invesco International Bond Fund and Invesco Macro Allocation Strategy Fund may
each invest up to 25% of their total assets in shares of their respective
subsidiaries (the Subsidiaries). The Subsidiaries offer to redeem all or a
portion of their shares at the current net asset value per share every regular
business day. The value of shares of the Subsidiaries will fluctuate with the
value of the respective Subsidiary’s portfolio investments. The Subsidiaries
price their portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation
methodologies and procedures used by the Funds, which require, among other
things, that each of the Subsidiaries’ portfolio investments be marked-to-market
(that is, the value on each of the Subsidiaries’ books changes) each business
day to reflect changes in the market value of the investment.
Each
Fund’s current net asset value per share is made available on the Funds’
website at www.invesco.com/us.
Fair
Value Pricing
Securities
owned by a Fund (except Invesco Government Money Market Fund, Invesco Premier
Portfolio, Invesco Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio and Invesco U.S.
Government Money Portfolio) are to be valued at current market value if market
quotations are readily available. All other securities and assets of a Fund for
which market quotations are not readily available are to be valued at fair value
determined in good faith consistent with the valuation policy approved by the
Board and related procedures. An effect of fair value pricing may be to reduce
the ability of frequent traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities
resulting from potentially “stale” prices of portfolio holdings. However, it
cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
The
price a Fund could receive upon the sale of any investment may differ from
the Adviser's valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that are
valued using a fair valuation technique. When fair valuation techniques are
applied, the Adviser uses available information, including both observable and
unobservable inputs and assumptions (i.e., publicly traded company multiples,
growth rate, time to exit), to determine a methodology that will result in a
valuation that the Adviser believes approximates market value. Fund securities
that are fair valued may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from
one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used.
Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, and the degree of
subjectivity in such decisions, the Fund could realize a greater or lesser than
expected gain or loss upon the sale of the investment.
Timing
of Orders
Each Fund
prices purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the net asset value next
calculated by the Fund after the Fund’s transfer agent, authorized agent or
designee receives an order in good order for the Fund. Purchase, exchange and
redemption orders must be received prior to the close of business on a business
day, as defined by the applicable Fund, to receive that day’s net asset value.
Any applicable sales charges are applied at the time an order is
processed.
Currently,
certain financial intermediaries may serve as agents for the Funds and
accept orders on their behalf. Where a financial intermediary serves as agent,
the order is priced at the Fund’s net asset value next calculated after it is
accepted by the financial intermediary. In such cases, if requested by a Fund,
the financial intermediary is responsible for providing information with regard
to the time that such order for purchase, redemption or exchange was received.
Orders submitted through a financial intermediary that has not received
authorization to accept orders on a Fund’s behalf are priced at the Fund’s net
asset value next calculated by the Fund after it receives the order from the
financial intermediary and accepts it, which may not occur on the day submitted
to the financial intermediary.
Additional
Information Regarding Deferred Tax Liability (only applicable to the Invesco
Steelpath Funds)
In
calculating the Fund’s daily NAV, the Fund will, among other things, account for
its deferred tax liability and/or asset balances. As a result, any deferred tax
liability and/or asset is reflected in the Fund’s daily NAV.
The
Fund will accrue a deferred income tax liability balance, at the U.S.
federal
corporate income tax rate plus an estimated state and local income tax rate for
its future tax liability associated with MLP distributions considered to be a
return of capital, as well as for its future tax liability associated with the
capital appreciation of its investments. The Fund’s current and deferred tax
liability, if any, will depend upon the Fund’s net investment gains and losses
and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments and therefore may
vary greatly from year to year depending on the nature of the Fund’s
investments, the performance of those investments and general market conditions.
Any deferred tax liability balance will reduce the Fund’s NAV. Upon the Fund’s
sale of an MLP security, the Fund may be liable for previously deferred
taxes.
The
Fund will accrue, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, a
deferred tax asset balance, which reflects an estimate of the Fund’s future tax
benefit associated with net operating losses and unrealized losses. Any deferred
tax asset balance will increase the Fund’s NAV. To the extent the Fund has a
deferred tax asset balance, the Fund will assess, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, whether a valuation allowance, which would
offset the value of the Fund’s deferred tax asset balance, is required. Pursuant
to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 740
(FASB ASC 740), the Fund will assess a valuation allowance to reduce the
deferred tax asset balance if, based on the weight of all available evidence,
both negative and positive, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
asset balance will not be realized. The Fund will use judgment in considering
the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. The weight given to the
potential effect of negative and positive evidence will be commensurate with the
extent to which such evidence can be objectively verified. The Fund’s assessment
considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current
and cumulative losses, the duration of statutory carry forward periods and the
associated risk that operating loss and capital loss carry forwards may be
limited or expire unused, and unrealized gains and losses on investments.
Consideration is also given to market cycles, the severity and duration of
historical deferred tax assets, the impact of redemptions, and the level of MLP
distributions. The Fund will assess whether a valuation allowance is required to
offset any deferred tax asset balance in connection with the calculation of the
Fund’s NAV per share each day; however, to the extent the final valuation
allowance differs from the estimates the Fund used in calculating the Fund’s
daily NAV, the application of such final valuation allowance could have a
material impact on the Fund’s NAV.
A-21 The
Invesco Funds
The
Fund’s deferred tax asset and/or liability balances are estimated using
estimates of effective tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years such balances are realized. The Fund will rely to some extent on
information provided by MLPs in determining the extent to which distributions
received from MLPs constitute a return of capital, which may not be provided to
the Fund on a timely basis, to estimate the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining its
NAV. If such information is not received from such MLPs on a timely basis, the
Fund will estimate the extent to which distributions received from MLPs
constitute a return of capital based on average historical tax characterization
of distributions made by MLPs. The Fund’s estimates regarding its deferred tax
liability and/or asset balances are made in good faith; however, the daily
estimate of the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or asset balances used to
calculate the Fund’s NAV could vary dramatically from the Fund’s actual tax
liability. Actual income tax expense, if any, will be incurred over many years,
depending on if and when investment gains and losses are realized, the
then-current basis of the Fund’s assets and other factors. As a result, the
determination of the Fund’s actual tax liability may have a material impact on
the Fund’s NAV. The Fund’s daily NAV calculation will be based on then current
estimates and assumptions regarding the Fund’s deferred tax liability and/or
asset balances and any applicable valuation allowance, based on all information
available to the Fund at such time. From time to time, the Fund may modify its
estimates or assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability and/or asset
balances and any applicable valuation allowance as new information becomes
available. Modifications of the Fund’s estimates or assumptions regarding its
deferred tax liability and/or asset balances and any applicable valuation
allowance, changes in generally accepted accounting principles or related
guidance or interpretations thereof, limitations imposed on net operating losses
(if any) and changes in applicable tax law could result in increases or
decreases in the Fund’s NAV per share, which could be material.
Taxes
(applicable to all Funds except for the Invesco SteelPath Funds)
A Fund
intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (RIC) and, as
such, is not subject to entity-level tax on the income and gain it distributes
to shareholders. If you are a taxable investor, dividends and distributions you
receive from a Fund generally are taxable to you whether you reinvest
distributions in additional Fund shares or take them in cash. Every year, you
will be sent information showing the amount of dividends and distributions you
received from a Fund during the prior calendar year. In addition, investors in
taxable accounts should be aware of the following basic tax points as
supplemented below where relevant:
Fund Tax
Basics
■
A Fund earns
income generally in the form of dividends or interest on its investments. This
income, less expenses incurred in the operation of a Fund, constitutes the
Fund’s net investment income from which dividends may be paid to you. If you are
a taxable investor, distributions of net investment income generally are taxable
to you as ordinary income.
■
Distributions
of net short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. A Fund
with a high portfolio turnover rate (a measure of how frequently assets within a
Fund are bought and sold) is more likely to generate short-term capital gains
than a Fund with a low portfolio turnover rate.
■
Distributions
of net long-term capital gains are taxable to you as long-term capital gains no
matter how long you have owned your Fund shares.
■
A portion of
income dividends paid by a Fund to you may be reported as qualified dividend
income eligible for taxation by individual shareholders at long-term capital
gain rates, provided certain holding period requirements are met. These reduced
rates generally are available for dividends derived from a Fund’s investment in
stocks of domestic corporations and qualified foreign corporations. In the case
of a Fund that invests primarily in debt securities, either none or only a
nominal portion of the dividends paid by the Fund will be eligible for taxation
at these reduced rates.
■
The use of
derivatives by a Fund may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary
income or short-term capital gain, distributions from which are taxable to
individual shareholders at ordinary income tax rates rather than at the more
favorable tax rates for long-term capital gain.
■
Distributions
declared to shareholders with a record date in October, November or December—if
paid to you by the end of January—are taxable for federal income tax purposes as
if received in December.
■
Any long-term
or short-term capital gains realized on the sale or redemption of your Fund
shares will be subject to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of
your shares for shares of another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs
when the purchase of shares of a Fund is made using the proceeds from a
redemption of shares of another Fund and is effectuated on the same day as the
redemption. Your gain or loss is calculated by subtracting from the gross
proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after
January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be
reported to you and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Cost basis will be
calculated using the Fund’s default method of average cost, unless you instruct
the Fund to use a different calculation method. As a service to you, the Fund
will continue to provide to you (but not the IRS) cost basis information for
shares acquired before 2012, when available, using the average cost method.
Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis information provided by a
Fund and make any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are
required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns. If
you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or other nominee), please contact
that broker (nominee) with respect to reporting of cost basis and available
elections for your account. For more information about the cost basis methods
offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center located under the Account
Access & Forms menu of our website at www.Invesco.com/us.
■
The
conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the
same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss
will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs
automatically pursuant to the terms of the class or is initiated by the
shareholder.
■
At the time
you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect
undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution
to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would
be taxable. Buying shares in a Fund just before it declares an income dividend
or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as “buying a dividend.” In
addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net unrealized
appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to
you.
■
By law, if
you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and
certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any
distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your
shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When
withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds
paid.
■
An additional
3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including
ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from a Fund and net
gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S.
individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified
adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income”
(in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare
tax, if applicable, is reported by you on, and paid with, your federal income
tax return.
■
You will not
be required to include the portion of dividends paid by a Fund derived from
interest on U.S. government obligations in your gross income for purposes
of personal and, in some cases, corporate income taxes in many state and local
tax jurisdictions. The percentage of dividends that constitutes dividends
derived from interest on federal obligations will be determined annually. This
percentage may differ from the actual percentage of interest received by the
Fund on federal obligations for the particular days on which you hold
shares.
■
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are
subject to state and local income taxes.
A-22 The
Invesco Funds
■
If a Fund
qualifies to pass through to you the tax benefits from foreign taxes it pays on
its investments, and elects to do so, then any foreign taxes it pays on these
investments may be passed through to you. You will then be required to include
your pro-rata share of these taxes in gross income, even though not actually
received by you, and will be entitled either to deduct your share of these taxes
in computing your taxable income, or to claim a foreign tax credit for these
taxes against your U.S. federal income tax.
■
Foreign
investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification
requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty
benefits, and estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
■
Under the
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold
a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities,
referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities,
that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and
withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury
of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA
withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund
shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be
relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final
regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the
information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing
authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws.
Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a
Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other
documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
■
If a Fund
invests in an underlying fund taxed as a RIC, please see any relevant section
below for more information regarding the Fund’s investment in such underlying
fund.
The above
discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions and of
redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors holding
shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and Benefit
Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more
information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund
shares.
Funds
Investing in Municipal Securities
■
You will not
be required to include the “exempt-interest” portion of dividends paid by the
Fund in either your gross income for federal income tax purposes or your net
investment income subject to the additional 3.8% Medicare tax. You will be
required to report the receipt of exempt-interest dividends and other tax-exempt
interest on your federal income tax returns. The percentage of dividends that
constitutes exempt-interest dividends will be determined annually. This
percentage may differ from the actual percentage of exempt interest received by
the Fund for the particular days in which you hold shares.
■
A Fund may
invest in municipal securities the interest on which constitutes an item of tax
preference and could give rise to a federal alternative minimum tax liability
for noncorporate shareholders, unless such municipal securities were issued in
2009 or 2010.
■
Exempt-interest
dividends from interest earned on municipal securities of a state, or its
political subdivisions, generally are exempt from that state’s personal income
tax. Most states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest from
municipal securities of other states.
■
A Fund may
invest a portion of its assets in securities that pay income that is not
tax-exempt. To the extent that dividends paid by a Fund are derived from taxable
investments or realized capital gains, they will be taxable as ordinary income
or long-term capital gains.
■
A Fund may
distribute to you any market discount and net short-term capital gains from the
sale of its portfolio securities. If you are a taxable investor, Fund
distributions from this income are taxable to you as ordinary income, and
generally will neither qualify for the
dividends-received
deduction in the case of corporate shareholders nor as qualified dividend income
subject to reduced rates of taxation in the case of noncorporate
shareholders.
■
Exempt-interest
dividends from a Fund are taken into account when determining the taxable
portion of your social security or railroad retirement benefits, may be subject
to state and local income taxes, may affect the deductibility of interest on
certain indebtedness, and may have other collateral federal income tax
consequences for you.
■
There are
risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt may be reclassified by the IRS
or a state tax authority as taxable and/or (b) future legislative,
administrative or court actions could adversely impact the qualification of
income from a tax-exempt security as tax-free. Such reclassifications or actions
could cause interest from a security to become taxable, possibly retroactively,
subjecting you to increased tax liability. In addition, such reclassifications
or actions could cause the value of a security, and therefore, the value of the
Fund’s shares, to decline.
Money
Market Funds
■
A Fund does
not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
■
If a Fund
expects to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, investors
should not have any gain or loss on sale or exchange of Fund shares (unless the
investor incurs a liquidity fee on such sale or exchange). See “Liquidity
Fees.”
■
There is some
degree of uncertainty with respect to the tax treatment of liquidity fees
received by a Fund, and such tax treatment may be the subject of future IRS
guidance. If a Fund receives liquidity fees, it will consider the appropriate
tax treatment of such fees to the Fund at such time.
■
Unless you
choose to adopt a simplified “NAV method” of accounting (described below), any
capital gain or loss on the sale or exchange of Fund shares (as noted above)
generally will be treated either as short-term if you held your Fund shares for
one year or less, or long-term if you held your Fund shares longer. If you elect
to adopt the NAV method of accounting, rather than computing gain or loss on
every taxable disposition of Fund shares as described above, you would determine
your gain or loss based on the change in the aggregate value of your Fund shares
during a computation period (such as your taxable year), reduced by your net
investment (purchases minus sales) in those shares during that period. Under the
NAV method, any resulting net capital gain or loss would be treated as
short-term capital gain or loss.
Funds
Investing in Real Estate Securities
■
Because of
“noncash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that
owns properties will exceed its taxable income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund,
may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution is
classified as a return of capital. Return of capital distributions generally are
not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the
amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess
of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
■
Dividends
paid to shareholders from the Funds’ investments in U.S. REITs generally will
not qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain rates applicable to qualified
dividend income.
■
The Fund may
derive “excess inclusion income” from certain equity interests in mortgage
pooling vehicles either directly or through an investment in a U.S. REIT. Please
see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to
shareholders in the event the Fund realizes excess inclusion income in excess of
certain threshold amounts.
■
Under the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act, “qualified REIT dividends” (i.e., ordinary REIT dividends
other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as
qualified dividend income) are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by
noncorporate taxpayers. The Fund may choose to report the special character of
“qualified REIT dividends” to a shareholder, provided both the Fund and a
shareholder meet certain holding period requirements with respect to their
shares.
■
The Fund’s
foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a discussion of the risks and
special tax consequences to them from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by

Funds
Investing in Partnerships
■
Taxes,
penalties,
and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally required to
be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an adverse
federal income tax audit of a partnership that a Fund invests in (including MLPs
taxed as partnerships) could result in the Fund being required to pay federal
income tax. A Fund may have little input in any audit asserted against a
partnership and may be contractually or legally obligated to make payments in
regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward an
independent defense. Accordingly, even if a partnership in which the Fund
invests were to remain classified as a partnership (instead of as a
corporation), it could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and
penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and the Fund, as a direct or
indirect partner of such partnership, could be required to bear the economic
burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce the value of
Fund shares.
■
Under the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act “qualified publicly traded partnership income” is treated as
eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The legislation does not
contain a provision permitting a RIC, such as a Fund, to pass the special
character of this income through to its shareholders. It is uncertain whether a
future technical corrections bill or regulations issued by the IRS will address
this issue to enable a Fund to pass through the special character of “qualified
publicly traded partnership income” to its shareholders.
■
Some amounts
received by a Fund from the MLPs in which it invests likely will be treated as
returns of capital to such Fund because of accelerated deductions available to
the MLPs. The receipt of returns of capital from the MLPs in which a Fund
invests could cause some or all of the Fund’s distributions to be classified as
a return of capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable
to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of
any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your
cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
Funds
Investing in Commodities
■
The Funds’
strategies of investing through their respective Subsidiary in derivatives and
other financially linked instruments whose performance is expected to correspond
to the commodity markets may cause the Funds to recognize more ordinary income
and short-term capital gains taxable as ordinary income than would be the case
if the Funds invested directly in commodities.
■
The Funds
must meet certain requirements under the Code for favorable tax treatment as a
RIC, including asset diversification and income requirements. The IRS has issued
a revenue ruling which holds that income derived from commodity-linked swaps is
not qualifying income for purposes of the Income Requirement. In a subsequent
revenue ruling, as well as in a number of follow-on private letter rulings (upon
which only the fund that received the private letter ruling may rely), the IRS
provides that income from certain alternative investments which create commodity
exposure, such as certain commodity-linked or structured notes or a corporate
subsidiary that invests in commodities, may be considered qualifying income
under the Code. However, the portion of such rulings relating to the treatment
of a corporation as a regulated investment company that require a determination
of whether a financial instrument or position is a security under section
2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act was revoked because of changes in the IRS’s position.
(A financial instrument or position that constitutes a security under section
2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act generates qualifying income for a corporation taxed as
a regulated investment company.) The Funds intend to treat the income each
derives from commodity-linked notes as qualifying income based on an opinion
from counsel confirming that income from such investments should be qualifying
income because such commodity-linked notes constitute securities under section
2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act. Each Subsidiary will be classified for federal income
tax purposes as a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) with respect to the Fund.
As such, the Fund will be required to include in its gross income each year
amounts earned by the Subsidiary during that year (“Subpart F” income), whether
or not such earnings are distributed by the Subsidiary to the Fund (deemed
inclusions).
Treasury Regulations also permit the Fund to treat such deemed inclusions of
“Subpart F” income from the Subsidiary as qualifying income to the Fund, even if
the Subsidiary does not make a distribution of such income. Consequently, the
Fund and the Subsidiary reserve the right to rely on deemed inclusions being
treated as qualifying income to the Fund consistent with Treasury Regulations.
If, contrary to the opinion of counsel or other guidance issued by the IRS, the
IRS were to determine that income from direct investment in commodity-linked
notes is non-qualifying, a Fund might fail to satisfy the income requirement. In
lieu of disqualification, the Funds are permitted to pay a tax for certain
failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income requirements, which, in
general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect.
The Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective Subsidiary to no
more than 25% of the value of each Fund’s total assets in order to satisfy the
asset diversification requirement.
Funds
Investing in Foreign Currencies
■
The Funds may
realize gains from the sale or other disposition of foreign currencies
(including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts)
derived from investing in securities or foreign currencies. The U.S. Treasury
Department is authorized to issue regulations on whether the realization of such
foreign currency gains is qualified income for the Funds. If such regulations
are issued, each Fund may not qualify as a RIC and/or the Fund may change its
investment policy. As of the date of this prospectus, no regulations have been
issued pursuant to this authorization. It is possible, however, that such
regulations may be issued in the future. Additionally, the IRS has not issued
any guidance on how to apply the asset diversification test to such foreign
currency positions. Thus, the IRS’ determination as to how to treat such foreign
currency positions for purposes of satisfying the asset diversification test
might differ from that of each Fund resulting in the Fund’s failure to qualify
as a RIC. In lieu of disqualification, each Fund is permitted to pay a tax for
certain failures to satisfy the asset diversification or income requirements,
which, in general, are limited to those due to reasonable cause and not willful
neglect.
■
The Funds’
transactions in foreign currencies may give rise to ordinary income or loss to
the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations in the value of the
foreign currency concerned. This treatment could increase or decrease the Funds'
ordinary income distributions to you, and may cause some or all of the Funds'
previously distributed income to be classified as a return of capital. Return of
capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your
Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of any return of capital. Any return
of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital
gains.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the
federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to
them.
Taxes
(applicable to the Invesco SteelPath Funds only)
Although the
Code generally provides that a RIC does not pay an entity-level income tax,
provided that it distributes all or substantially all of its income, the Fund is
not and does not anticipate becoming eligible to elect to be treated as a RIC
because most or substantially all of the Fund’s investments will consist of
investments in MLP securities. The RIC tax rules therefore have no application
to the Fund or to its shareholders. As a result, the Fund is treated as a
regular corporation, or “C” corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
and generally is subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at the
corporate income tax rate. In addition, as a regular corporation, the Fund will
be subject to state and local taxes by reason of its tax status and its
investments in MLPs. Therefore, the Fund may have to pay federal, multiple
state, and local taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s cash available to make
distributions to shareholders. An estimate for federal, state, and local tax
liabilities will reduce the fund’s net asset value. The extent to which the Fund
is required to pay U.S. federal, state or local corporate income, franchise or
other corporate taxes could materially reduce
A-24 The
Invesco Funds
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.
■
A federal
excise tax on stock repurchases is expected to apply to the Fund with respect to
share redemptions occurring on or after January 1, 2023, in accordance with the
provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The excise tax is 1% of the
fair market value of Fund share redemptions less the fair market value of Fund
share issuances (in excess of $1 million of fair market value) annually on a
taxable year basis.
■
The Fund will
recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of its
portfolio assets, including equity securities of MLPs, equal to the difference
between the amount realized by the Fund on the sale, exchange or other taxable
disposition and the Fund’s adjusted tax basis in such assets. Any such gain will
be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the corporate income tax rate,
regardless of how long the Fund has held such assets since preferential capital
gain rates do not apply to regular corporations such as the Fund. The amount
realized by the Fund in any case generally will be the amount paid by the
purchaser of the assets plus, in the case of MLP equity securities, the Fund’s
allocable share, if any, of the MLP’s debt that will be allocated to the
purchaser as a result of the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition. The
Fund’s tax basis in its equity securities in an MLP generally is equal to the
amount the Fund paid for the equity securities, (i) increased by the Fund’s
allocable share of the MLP’s net taxable income and certain MLP debt, if any,
and (ii) decreased by the Fund’s allocable share of the MLP’s net losses and any
distributions received by the Fund from the MLP. Although any distribution by an
MLP to the Fund in excess of the Fund’s allocable share of such MLP’s net
taxable income may create a temporary economic benefit to the Fund, net of a
deferred tax liability, such distribution will decrease the Fund’s tax basis in
its MLP investment and will therefore increase the amount of gain (or decrease
the amount of loss) that will be recognized on the sale of an equity security in
the MLP by the Fund. To the extent that the Fund has a net capital loss in any
year, the net capital loss can be carried back three taxable years and forward
five taxable years to reduce the Fund’s capital gains in such years. In the
event a capital loss carryover cannot be utilized in the carryover periods, the
Fund’s federal income tax liability may be higher than expected, which will
result in less cash available to distribute to shareholders.
■
Distributions
by the Fund of cash or property in respect of the shares (other than certain
distributions in redemption of shares) will be treated as dividends for U.S.
federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Fund’s current or
accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax
principles). Generally, the Fund’s earnings and profits are computed based upon
the Fund’s taxable income (loss), with certain specified adjustments. Any such
dividend likely will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if
received by an otherwise qualifying corporate U.S. shareholder that meets
certain holding period and other
requirements
for the dividends-received deduction. Dividends paid by the Fund to certain
non-corporate U.S. shareholders (including individuals), generally are eligible
for U.S. federal income taxation at the rates generally applicable to long-term
capital gains for individuals provided that the U.S. shareholder receiving the
dividend satisfies applicable holding period and other requirements. Otherwise,
dividends paid by the Fund to non-corporate U.S. Shareholders (including
individuals) will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
■
If the amount
of a Fund distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and
profits, such excess will be treated first as a tax-deferred return of capital
to the extent of, and in reduction of, a shareholder’s tax basis in the shares,
and thereafter as capital gain to the extent the shareholder held the shares as
a capital asset. Any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if such
shareholder has held the applicable shares for more than one year. The portion
of the distribution received by a shareholder from the Fund that is treated as a
return of capital will decrease the shareholder’s tax basis in his or her Fund
shares (but not below zero), which will result in an increase in the amount of
gain (or decrease in the amount of loss) that will be recognized by the
shareholder for tax purposes on the later sale of such Fund shares.
■
The Fund
anticipates that the cash distributions it will receive with respect to its
investments in equity securities of MLPs and which it will distribute to its
shareholders will exceed the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and
profits. Accordingly, the Fund expects that only a part of its distributions to
shareholders with respect to the shares will be treated as dividends for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. No assurance, however, can be given in this
regard.
■
Special rules
may apply to the calculation of the Fund’s earnings and profits. For example,
the Fund’s earnings and profits will be calculated using the straight-line
depreciation method rather than the accelerated depreciation method. This
difference in treatment may, for example, result in the Fund’s earnings and
profits being higher than the Fund’s taxable income or loss in a particular year
if the MLPs in which the Fund invests calculate their income using accelerated
depreciation. Because of these special earnings profits rules, the Fund may make
distributions in a particular year out of earnings and profits (treated as
dividends) in excess of the amount of the Fund’s taxable income or loss for such
year, which means that a larger percentage of the Fund ’s distributions could be
taxable to shareholders as ordinary income instead of tax-deferred return of
capital or capital gain.
■
Shareholders
that receive distributions in shares rather than in cash will be treated for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as having (i) received a cash distribution
equal to the fair market value of the shares received and (ii) reinvested such
amount in shares.
■
A redemption
of shares will be treated as a sale or exchange of such shares, provided the
redemption is not essentially equivalent to a dividend, is a substantially
disproportionate redemption, is a complete redemption of a shareholder’s entire
interest in the Fund, or is in partial liquidation of such Fund. Redemptions
that do not qualify for sale or exchange treatment will be treated as
distributions as described above. Upon a redemption treated as a sale or
exchange under these rules, a shareholder generally will recognize capital gain
or loss equal to the difference between the adjusted tax basis of his or her
shares and the amount received when they are sold.
■
If the Fund
is required to sell portfolio securities to meet redemption requests, the Fund
may recognize income and gains for U.S. federal, state and local income and
other tax purposes, which may result in the imposition of corporate income or
other taxes on the Fund and may increase the Fund’s current and accumulated
earnings and profits, which will result in a greater portion of distributions to
Fund shareholders being treated as dividends. Any long-term or short-term
capital gains realized on sale or redemption of your Fund shares will be subject
to federal income tax. For tax purposes an exchange of your shares for shares of
another Fund is the same as a sale. An exchange occurs when the purchase of
shares of a Fund is made using the proceeds from a redemption of shares of
another Fund and is effectuated on the same day as the redemption. Your gain or
loss is calculated by subtracting from the
A-25 The
Invesco Funds
gross
proceeds your cost basis. Gross proceeds and, for shares acquired on or after
January 1, 2012 and disposed of after that date, cost basis will be reported to
you and the IRS. Cost basis will be calculated using the Fund’s default method
of first-in, first-out (FIFO), unless you instruct the Fund to use a different
calculation method. Shareholders should carefully review the cost basis
information provided by a Fund and make any additional basis, holding period or
other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their
federal income tax returns. If you hold your Fund shares through a broker (or
other nominee), please contact that broker (nominee) with respect to reporting
of cost basis and available elections for your account. For more information
about the cost basis methods offered by Invesco, please refer to the Tax Center
located under the Account Access & Forms menu of our website at
www.invesco.com/us.
■
The
conversion of shares of one class of a Fund into shares of another class of the
same Fund is not taxable for federal income tax purposes and no gain or loss
will be reported on the transaction. This is true whether the conversion occurs
automatically pursuant to the terms of the class or is initiated by the
shareholder.
■
At the time
you purchase your Fund shares, the Fund’s net asset value may reflect
undistributed income. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although
constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable. Buying shares in a
Fund just before it declares an income dividend is sometimes known as “buying a
dividend.” In addition, a Fund’s net asset value may, at any time, reflect net
unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to
you.
■
By law, if
you do not provide a Fund with your proper taxpayer identification number and
certain required certifications, you may be subject to backup withholding on any
distributions of income, capital gains, or proceeds from the sale of your
shares. A Fund also must withhold if the IRS instructs it to do so. When
withholding is required, the amount will be 24% of any distributions or proceeds
paid.
■
A 3.8%
Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary
dividends received from a Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable
dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the
extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an
individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust)
exceeds a threshold amount. This Medicare tax, if applicable, is reported by you
on, and paid with, your federal income tax return.
■
Fund
distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund shares generally are
subject to state and local income taxes.
■
Foreign
investors should be aware that U.S. withholding, special certification
requirements to avoid U.S. backup withholding and claim any treaty benefits, and
estate taxes may apply to an investment in a Fund.
■
Under the
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), a Fund will be required to withhold
a 30% tax on income dividends made by the Fund to certain foreign entities,
referred to as foreign financial institutions or non-financial foreign entities,
that fail to comply (or be deemed compliant) with extensive reporting and
withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury
of U.S.-owned foreign investment accounts. After December 31, 2018, FATCA
withholding also would have applied to certain capital gain distributions,
return of capital distributions and the proceeds arising from the sale of Fund
shares; however, based on proposed regulations issued by the IRS, which can be
relied upon currently, such withholding is no longer required unless final
regulations provide otherwise (which is not expected). A Fund may disclose the
information that it receives from its shareholders to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing
authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA or similar laws.
Withholding also may be required if a foreign entity that is a shareholder of a
Fund fails to provide the Fund with appropriate certifications or other
documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
■
Taxes,
penalties, and interest associated with an audit of a partnership are generally
required to be assessed and collected at the partnership level. Therefore, an
adverse federal income tax audit of an MLP taxed as a partnership that the Fund
invests in could result in the Fund being required to pay federal income tax.
The Fund may have little input in any
audit
asserted against an MLP and may be contractually or legally obligated to make
payments in regard to deficiencies asserted without the ability to put forward
an independent defense. Accordingly, even if an MLP in which the Fund invests
were to remain classified as a partnership, it could be required to pay
additional taxes, interest and penalties as a result of an audit adjustment, and
the Fund, as a direct or indirect partner of such MLP, could be required to bear
the economic burden of those taxes, interest and penalties, which would reduce
the value of Fund shares.
■
Under the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act certain “qualified publicly traded partnership income” (e.g.,
certain income from certain of the MLPs in which the Fund invests) is treated as
eligible for a 20% deduction by noncorporate taxpayers. The Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act does not contain a provision permitting an entity, such as the Fund, to
benefit from this deduction (since the Fund is taxed as a “C” corporation) or
pass the special character of this income through to its shareholders. Qualified
publicly traded partnership income allocated to a noncorporate investor
investing directly in an MLP might, however, be eligible for the
deduction.
The
above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends and distributions
and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares is inapplicable to investors
holding shares through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as Retirement and
Benefit Plans or 529 college savings plans. Such investors should refer to the
applicable account documents/program description for that arrangement for more
information regarding the tax consequences of holding and redeeming Fund
shares.
This
discussion of “Taxes” is for general information only and not
tax advice. All investors should consult their own tax advisers as to the
federal, state, local and foreign tax provisions applicable to
them.
Payments
to Financial Intermediaries – All Share Classes except Class R6
shares
The financial
adviser or intermediary through which you purchase your shares may receive all
or a portion of the sales charges and distribution fees discussed above. In
addition to those payments, Invesco Distributors and other Invesco Affiliates,
may make additional cash payments to financial intermediaries in connection with
the promotion and sale of shares of the Funds. These additional cash payments
may include cash payments and other payments for certain marketing and support
services. Invesco Affiliates make these payments from their own resources, from
Invesco Distributors’ retention of initial sales charges and from payments to
Invesco Distributors made by the Funds under their 12b-1 plans. In the context
of this prospectus, “financial intermediaries” include any broker, dealer, bank
(including bank trust departments), registered investment adviser, financial
planner, retirement plan administrator, insurance company and any other
financial intermediary having a selling, administration or similar agreement
with Invesco Affiliates.
The
benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make these payments include,
among other things, placing the Funds on the financial intermediary’s fund sales
system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over other
competitors) to individual members of the financial intermediary’s sales force
or to the financial intermediary’s management. These payments are sometimes
referred to as “shelf space” payments because the payments compensate the
financial intermediary for including the Funds in its fund sales system (on its
“sales shelf”). Invesco Affiliates compensate financial intermediaries
differently depending typically on the level and/or type of considerations
provided by the financial intermediary. The payments Invesco Affiliates make may
be calculated based on sales of shares of the Funds (Sales-Based Payments), in
which case the total amount of such payments shall not exceed 0.25% (0.10% for
Class R5 shares) of the public offering price of all shares sold by the
financial intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be
calculated based on the average daily net assets of the applicable Funds
attributable to that particular financial intermediary (Asset-Based Payments),
in which case the total amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per
annum of those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments primarily
create incentives to make new sales of shares of the
A-26 The
Invesco Funds
Funds and
Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to retain previously sold
shares of the Funds in investor accounts. Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial
intermediary either or both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based
Payments.
Invesco
Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they promote the
sale of Fund shares and the retention of those investments by clients of the
financial intermediaries. To the extent financial intermediaries sell more
shares of the Funds or retain shares of the Funds in their clients’ accounts,
Invesco Affiliates benefit from the incremental management and other fees paid
to Invesco Affiliates by the Funds with respect to those assets.
The
Funds’ transfer agent may make payments to certain financial intermediaries
for certain administrative services, including record keeping and sub-accounting
of shareholder accounts pursuant to a sub-transfer agency, omnibus account
service or sub-accounting agreement. All fees payable by Invesco Affiliates
under this category of services are charged back to the Funds, subject to
certain limitations approved by the Board.
You
can find further details in the Fund’s SAI about these payments and the services
provided by financial intermediaries. In certain cases these payments could be
significant to the financial intermediaries. Your financial adviser may charge
you additional fees or commissions other than those disclosed in this
prospectus. You can ask your financial adviser about any payments it receives
from Invesco Affiliates or the Funds, as well as about fees and/or commissions
it charges.
Important
Notice Regarding Delivery of Security Holder Documents
To reduce
Fund expenses, only one copy of most shareholder documents may be mailed to
shareholders with multiple accounts at the same address (Householding). Mailing
of your shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you
instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents to be
combined with those for other members of your household, please contact the
Funds’ transfer agent at 800-959-4246 or contact your financial institution. The
Funds’ transfer agent will begin sending you individual copies for each account
within thirty days after receiving your request.
Inactive
or Unclaimed Accounts
Please note
that if your account is deemed to be unclaimed or abandoned under applicable
state law, the Fund may be required to transfer (or “escheat”) the assets in
that account to the appropriate state. Some states may sell escheated shares, in
which case a shareholder may only be able to recover the amount received when
the shares were sold. For shareholders that invest through retirement accounts,
the escheatment will be treated as a taxable distribution and federal and any
applicable state income tax may be withheld. The Fund, its Board, and the Fund's
transfer agent will not be liable to shareholders for good faith compliance with
state unclaimed or abandoned property laws. To avoid these outcomes and protect
their property, shareholders that invest in the Fund through an account held
directly with the Fund's transfer agent are encouraged to routinely confirm that
the mailing address on their account is current and valid and contact the
transfer agent at least once a year by one of the following methods:
• Accessing
your account online at invesco.com/us.
• Accessing
your account balance through the automated Invesco Investor Line at 800 246
5463.
• Contacting
us by phone or in writing for any matter related to your
account.
