Effective May 23, 2011, the Board of Trustees approved a
reduced contractual advisory fee schedule for the Fund. Pursuant
to the new fee schedule, the Funds maximum annual advisory
fee rate ranges from 0.695% (for average net assets up to
$250 million) to 0.52% (for average net assets over
$10 billion). Management Fees have been restated to reflect
the new fee schedule.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses have been
restated and reflect the reorganization of one or more

Effective May 23, 2011, Invesco Distributors, Inc. (Invesco
Distributors) has contractually agreed, through at least
June 30, 2013, to waive 12b-1 fees for Class B shares
to the extend necessary to limit 12b-1 fees to 0.42% of average
daily net assets. Unless the Board of Trustees and Invesco
Distributors mutually agree to amend or continue the waiver, it
will terminate on June 30, 2013.

|
|
Effective May 23, 2011, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (Invesco or
the Adviser) has contractually agreed through at least
June 30, 2013, to waive advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual
Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver
and/or
Expense Reimbursement (excluding certain items discussed below)
of Class A, Class B (after
12b-1 fee
limit), Class C, Class R and Class Y shares to
1.05%, 1.22%, 1.80%, 1.30% and 0.80%, respectively, of average
daily net assets. In determining the Advisers obligation
to waive advisory fees
and/or
reimburse expenses, the following expenses are not taken into
account, and could cause the Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses After Fee Waiver
and/or
Expense Reimbursement to exceed the limit reflected above:(i)
interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) dividend expense on short
sales; (iv) extraordinary or non-routine items; and
(v) expenses that the Fund has incurred but did not
actually pay because of an expense offset arrangement. Unless
the Board of Trustees and Invesco mutually agree to amend or
continue the fee waiver agreement, it will terminate on
June 30, 2013.

Example. This Example is intended to help you
compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of
investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the
time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the
end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds
operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs
may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs
would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs,
such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or
turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may
result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable
account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund
operating expenses or in the example, affect the Funds
performance. The portfolio turnover rate of the Van Kampen
American Franchise Fund (the predecessor fund) and the Fund for
the most recent fiscal year was 101% of the average value of the
portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the
Adviser), the Funds investment adviser, seeks to achieve
the Funds investment objective by investing primarily in
equity securities of U.S. issuers that, in its judgment, have,
among other things, growth potential. Equity securities in which
the Fund invests are common stock, preferred stock, convertible
securities, warrants or rights to purchase equity securities and
depositary receipts. The Fund focuses on large-capitalization
companies, but invests from time to time in mid-capitalization
companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment
purposes) in securities of U.S. issuers at the time of
investment. The Fund deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if
(i) its principal securities trading market (i.e., a
U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ or
over-the-counter
markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) alone or on a consolidated
basis it derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from either
goods produced, sales made or services performed in the U.S.; or
(iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal
office in the U.S. The Funds policy may be changed by
the Board, but no change is anticipated. If the Funds
policy changes, the Fund will notify shareholders in writing at
least 60 days prior to implementation of the change and
shareholders should consider whether the Fund remains an
appropriate investment in light of the changes.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities
of foreign issuers.
The Adviser utilizes a
bottom-up
stock selection process designed to produce alpha, and a
disciplined portfolio construction process designed to manage
risk. To narrow the investment universe, the Adviser uses a
holistic approach that emphasizes fundamental research and, to a
lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. The Adviser then
closely examines company fundamentals including detailed
modeling of all of a companys financial statements, as
well as discussions with company management teams, suppliers,
distributors, competitors and customers. The Adviser
1 Invesco
Van Kampen American Franchise Fund
utilizes a variety of valuation techniques based on the company
in question, the industry in which the company operates, the
stage of the business cycle, and other factors that best reflect
a companys value. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies
with strong or improving fundamentals, attractive valuation
relative to growth prospects and earning expectations that
appear fair to conservative.
The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when
a company hits the price target, a companys fundamentals
deteriorate or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or
reflected in the stock price.
In attempting to meet its investment objective, the Fund may
engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities.
The Fund may use derivative transactions for various portfolio
management purposes and to mitigate risks. Derivative
transactions may involve the purchase and sale of options,
futures contracts, options on futures contracts and
currency-related transactions involving options, futures
contracts, forward contracts and swaps. In general terms, a
derivative instrument is one whose value depends on (or is
derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or
index. The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of
investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank
and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The
risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility. The principal
risks of investing in the Fund are:
Active Trading Risk. The Fund may engage in frequent
trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added
expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax
liability.
Market Risk. Market risk is the possibility that the
market values of securities owned by the Fund will decline.
Investments in common stocks and other equity securities
generally are affected by changes in the stock markets which
fluctuate substantially over time, sometimes suddenly and
sharply. The value of a convertible security tends to decline as
interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature,
tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the
underlying equity security.
Foreign Risks. The risks of investing in securities of
foreign issuers can include fluctuations in foreign currencies,
foreign currency exchange controls, political and economic
instability, differences in financial reporting, differences in
securities regulation and trading, and foreign taxation issues.
Medium and Large-Sized Companies. The securities of
medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements than securities of larger-sized companies or
the market averages in general. In addition, such companies
typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings
and business prospects than are larger companies. Thus, to the
extent the Fund invests in medium-sized companies, the Fund may
be subject to greater investment risk than that assumed through
investment in the equity securities of larger-sized companies.
Risks of Using Derivative Instruments. Risks of
derivatives include the possible imperfect correlation between
the value of the instruments and the underlying assets; risks of
default by the other party to the transaction; risks that the
transaction may result in losses that partially or completely
offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the
transactions may not be liquid.
Futures Risk. A decision as to whether, when and how to
use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even
a well conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because
of market behavior or unexpected events.
Swaps Risk. A swap contract is an agreement between two
parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at
specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount,
with the payments calculated by reference to specified
securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other
instruments. Swaps are subject to credit risk and counterparty
risk.
Options Risk. A decision as to whether, when and how to
use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even
a well conceived option transaction may be unsuccessful because
of market behavior or unexpected events. The prices of options
can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total
returns.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment by the Fund in
ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment
in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the
following: (1) a discount of the ETFs shares to its net asset
value; (2) failure to develop an active trading market for the
ETFs shares; (3) the listing exchange halting trading of the
ETFs shares; (4) failure of the ETFs shares to track the
referenced index; and (5) holding troubled securities in the
referenced index. ETFs may involve duplication of management
fees and certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears
its proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in
which it invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each
Fund may invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such
leveraged ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses
on those investments.
Management Risk. As with any managed fund, the Adviser
may not be successful in selecting the best-performing
securities or investment techniques, and the Funds
performance may lag behind that of similar funds.
Performance
Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in
the performance of the Fund from year to year as of
December 31. The performance table compares the Funds
performance to that of a broad-based securities market
benchmark, a style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark
with investment objectives and strategies similar to the Fund.
The Funds (and the predecessor funds) past
performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of its future performance.
The returns shown for the period prior to June 1, 2010 are
those of the Class A, Class B, Class C and
Class I shares of the predecessor fund. The predecessor
fund was advised by Van Kampen Asset Management. Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class I shares of the
predecessor fund were reorganized into Class A,
Class B, Class C and Class Y shares,
respectively, on June 1, 2010. Class A, Class B,
Class C and Class Y shares returns of the Fund
will be different from the predecessor fund as they have
different expenses. Performance for Class A and
Class B shares has been restated to reflect the Funds
applicable sales charge.
The returns shown for Class R shares are those of the
Class A shares of the Fund (and the predecessor fund).
Updated performance information is available on the Funds
Web site at www.invesco.com/us.

Tax
Information
The Funds distributions generally are taxable to you as
ordinary income, capital gains or some combination of both,
unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement,
such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement 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 and the
Funds 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 to
recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson
or visit your financial intermediarys Web site for more
information.
Investment
Objective(s), Strategies, Risks and Portfolio Holdings
Investment
Objective
The Funds investment objective is to seek long-term
capital appreciation. The Funds investment objective may
be changed by the Board of Trustees (the Board) without
shareholder approval.
Principal
Investment Strategies and Risks
Under normal market conditions, the Adviser seeks to achieve the
Funds investment objective by investing primarily in
equity securities of U.S. issuers that, in its judgment, have,
among other things, growth potential. Equity securities in which
the Fund invests are common stock, preferred stock, convertible
securities, warrants or rights to purchase equity securities and
depositary receipts.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities
of foreign issuers. Securities of foreign issuers may be
denominated in U.S. dollars or in currencies other than U.S.
dollars. The percentage of assets invested in securities of a
particular country or denominated in a particular currency will
vary in accordance with the portfolio management teams
assessment of the relative yield, appreciation potential and the
relationship of a countrys currency to the U.S. dollar,
which is based upon such factors as fundamental economic
strength, credit quality and interest rate trends.
The Adviser utilizes a
bottom-up
stock selection process designed to produce alpha, and a
disciplined portfolio construction process designed to manage
risk. To narrow the investment universe, the Adviser uses a
holistic approach that emphasizes fundamental research and, to a
lesser extent, includes quantitative analysis. The Adviser then
closely examines company fundamentals including detailed
modeling of all of a companys financial statements, as
well as discussions with company management teams, suppliers,
distributors, competitors and customers. The Adviser utilizes a
variety of valuation techniques based on the company in
question, the industry in which the company operates, the stage
of the business cycle, and other factors that best reflect a
companys value. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies
with strong or improving fundamentals, attractive valuation
relative to growth prospects and earning expectations that
appear fair to conservative.
The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when
a company hits the price target, a companys fundamentals
deteriorate or the catalysts for growth are no longer present or
reflected in the stock price.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of
its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in
securities of U.S. issuers at the time of investment. The Fund
deems an issuer to be a U.S. issuer if (i) its principal
securities trading market (i.e., a U.S. stock exchange, NASDAQ
or over-the-counter markets) is in the U.S.; (ii) alone or
on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or more of its annual
revenue from either goods produced, sales made or services
performed in the U.S.; or (iii) it is organized under the
laws of, or has a principal office in
3 Invesco
Van Kampen American Franchise Fund
the U.S. The Funds policy may be changed by the Board, but
no change is anticipated. If the Funds policy changes, the
Fund will notify shareholders in writing at least 60 days
prior to implementation of the change and shareholders should
consider whether the Fund remains an appropriate investment in
light of the changes.
The financial markets in general are subject to volatility and
may at times, including currently, experience periods of extreme
volatility and uncertainty, which may affect all investment
securities, including equity securities and derivative
instruments. The markets for securities in which the Fund may
invest may not function properly, which may affect the value of
such securities and such securities may become illiquid. New or
proposed laws may have an impact on the Funds investments
and the Adviser is unable to predict what effect, if any, such
legislation may have on the Fund.
As with any managed fund, the Adviser may not be successful in
selecting the best-performing securities or investment
techniques, and the Funds performance may lag behind that
of similar funds.
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and also may invest
in other equity securities as described herein.
Common Stocks. Common stocks are shares of a corporation
or other entity that entitle the holder to a pro rata share of
the profits of the corporation, if any, without preference over
any other class of securities, including such entitys debt
securities, preferred stock and other senior equity securities.
Common stock usually carries with it the right to vote and
frequently an exclusive right to do so.
Preferred Stock. Preferred stock generally has a
preference as to dividends and liquidation over an issuers
common stock but ranks junior to debt securities in an
issuers capital structure. Unlike interest payments on
debt securities, preferred stock dividends are payable only if
declared by the issuers board of directors. Preferred
stock also may be subject to optional or mandatory redemption
provisions.
Convertible Securities. A convertible security is a bond,
debenture, note, preferred stock, right, warrant or other
security that may be converted into or exchanged for a
prescribed amount of common stock or other security of the same
or a different issuer or into cash within a particular period of
time at a specified price or formula. A convertible security
generally entitles the holder to receive interest paid or
accrued on debt securities or the dividend paid on preferred
stock until the convertible security matures or is redeemed,
converted or exchanged. Before conversion, convertible
securities generally have characteristics similar to both debt
and equity securities. The value of convertible securities tends
to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion
feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of
the underlying securities. Convertible securities generally rank
senior to common stock in a corporations capital structure
but are usually subordinated to comparable nonconvertible
securities. Convertible securities generally do not participate
directly in any dividend increases or decreases of the
underlying securities although the market prices of convertible
securities may be affected by any dividend changes or other
changes in the underlying securities.
Rights and warrants entitle the holder to buy equity securities
at a specific price for a specific period of time. Rights
typically have a substantially shorter term than do warrants.
Rights and warrants may be considered more speculative and less
liquid than certain other types of investments in that they do
not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect
to the underlying securities nor do they represent any rights in
the assets of the issuing company. Rights and warrants may lack
a secondary market.
Medium and Large-Sized Companies. The securities of
medium-sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements than securities of larger-sized companies or
the market averages in general. In addition, such companies
typically are subject to a greater degree of change in earnings
and business prospects than are larger companies. Thus, to the
extent the Fund invests in medium-sized companies, the Fund may
be subject to greater investment risk than that assumed through
investment in the equity securities of larger-sized companies.
Risks of Investing in Securities of Foreign Issuers.
Investments in securities of foreign issuers present certain
risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities
of U.S. issuers. These risks include fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, political, economic or legal
developments (including war or other instability, expropriation
of assets, nationalization and confiscatory taxation), the
imposition of foreign exchange limitations (including currency
blockage), withholding taxes on income or capital transactions
or other restrictions, higher transaction costs (including
higher brokerage, custodial and settlement costs and currency
conversion costs) and possible difficulty in enforcing
contractual obligations or taking judicial action. Securities of
foreign issuers may not be as liquid and may be more volatile
than comparable securities of domestic issuers.
In addition, there often is less publicly available information
about many foreign issuers, and issuers of foreign securities
are subject to different, often less comprehensive, auditing,
accounting and financial reporting disclosure requirements than
domestic issuers. There is generally less government regulation
of exchanges, brokers and listed companies abroad than in the
United States and, with respect to certain foreign countries,
there is a possibility of expropriation or confiscatory
taxation, or diplomatic developments which could affect
investment in those countries. Because there is usually less
supervision and governmental regulation of foreign exchanges,
brokers and dealers than there is in the United States, the Fund
may experience settlement difficulties or delays not usually
encountered in the United States.
Active Trading Risk. The Fund may engage in frequent
trading of portfolio securities. Active trading results in added
expenses and may result in a lower return and increased tax
liability.
Delays in making trades in securities of foreign issuers
relating to volume constraints, limitations or restrictions,
clearance or settlement procedures, or otherwise could impact
returns and result in temporary periods when assets of the Fund
are not fully invested or attractive investment opportunities
are foregone.
The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers in the form
of depositary receipts. Depositary receipts involve
substantially identical risks to those associated with direct
investment in securities of foreign issuers. In addition, the
underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly
unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no
obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the
holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting
rights with respect to the deposited securities.
In addition to the increased risks of investing in securities of
foreign issuers, there are often increased transaction costs
associated with investing in securities of foreign issuers,
including the costs incurred in connection with converting
currencies, higher foreign brokerage or dealer costs and higher
settlement costs or custodial costs.
Since the Fund may invest in securities denominated or quoted in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Fund may be affected
by changes in foreign currency exchange rates (and exchange
control regulations) which affect the value of investments in
the Fund and the accrued income and appreciation or depreciation
of the investments. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates
relative to the U.S. dollar will affect the U.S. dollar value of
the Funds assets denominated in that currency and the
Funds return on such assets as well as any temporary
uninvested reserves in bank deposits in foreign currencies. In
addition, the Fund will incur costs in connection with
conversions between various currencies.
The Fund may attempt to protect against adverse changes in the
value of the U.S. dollar in relation to a foreign currency by
entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the
amount of foreign currency invested or to be invested, or by
buying or selling a foreign currency option or futures contract
for such amount. Such strategies may be employed before the Fund
purchases a foreign security traded in the currency which the
Fund anticipates acquiring or between the date the foreign
security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment
4 Invesco
Van Kampen American Franchise Fund
therefor is made or received. Seeking to protect against a
change in the value of a foreign currency in the foregoing
manner does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of
portfolio securities or prevent losses if the prices of such
securities decline. Furthermore, such transactions reduce or
preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency
should move in the direction opposite to the position taken.
Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer
overall performance for the Fund than if it had not entered into
such contracts.
Investors should consider carefully the risks of foreign
investments before investing in the Fund.
Derivatives. The Fund may, but is not required to, use
various investment strategies for a variety of purposes
including hedging, risk management, portfolio management or to
earn income. Derivatives transactions may involve the purchase
and sale of derivative instruments such as options, forwards,
futures, options on futures, swaps and other related instruments
and techniques. Such derivatives may be based on a variety of
underlying instruments, most commonly equity and debt
securities, indexes, interest rates, currencies and other
assets. Derivatives often have risks similar to the securities
underlying the derivative instrument and may have additional
risks as described herein. The Funds use of derivatives
transactions may also include other instruments, strategies and
techniques, including newly developed or permitted instruments,
strategies and techniques, consistent with the Funds
investment objectives and applicable regulatory requirements.
The use of derivatives involves risks that are different from,
and possibly greater than, the risks associated with other
portfolio investments. The use of derivatives transactions may
involve the use of highly specialized instruments that require
investment techniques and risk analyses different from those
associated with other portfolio investments. The Fund complies
with applicable regulatory requirements when implementing
derivative transactions, including the segregation of cash
and/or
liquid securities on the books of the Funds custodian, as
mandated by SEC rules or SEC staff positions. Although the
portfolio managers seek to use derivatives to further the
Funds investment objective, no assurance can be given that
the use of derivatives will achieve this result.
Futures Risk. A decision as to whether, when and how to
use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even
a well conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because
of market behavior or unexpected events. In addition to the
derivatives risks discussed above, the prices of futures can be
highly volatile, using futures can lower total return, and the
potential loss from futures can exceed the Funds initial
investment in such contracts.
Swaps Risk. A swap contract is an agreement between two
parties pursuant to which the parties exchange payments at
specified dates on the basis of a specified notional amount,
with the payments calculated by reference to specified
securities, indexes, reference rates, currencies or other
instruments. Most swap agreements provide that when the period
payment dates for both parties are the same, the payments are
made on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted
out, with only the net amount paid by one party to the other).
The Funds obligations or rights under a swap contract
entered into on a net basis will generally be equal only to the
net amount to be paid or received under the agreement, based on
the relative values of the positions held by each counterparty.
Swap agreements are not entered into or traded on exchanges and
there is no central clearing or guaranty function for swaps.
Therefore, swaps are subject to credit risk or the risk of
default or non-performance by the counterparty. Swaps could
result in losses if the reference index, security or investments
do not perform as expected.
Options Risk. A decision as to whether, when and how to
use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even
a well conceived option transaction may be unsuccessful because
of market behavior or unexpected events. The prices of options
can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total
returns.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. An investment by the Fund in
ETFs generally presents the same primary risks as an investment
in a mutual fund. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the
following risks that do not apply to Invesco mutual funds:
(1) the market price of ETFs shares may trade above or
below their net asset value; (2) an active trading market
for the ETFs shares may not develop or be maintained;
(3) trading ETFs shares may be halted if the listing
exchanges officials deem such action appropriate;
(4) ETFs may not be actively managed and may not accurately
track the performance of the reference index; (5) ETFs
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 ETF seeks to track; and (6) the
value of an investment in ETFs will decline more or less in
correlation with any decline in the value of the index they seek
to track. ETFs may involve duplication of management fees and
certain other expenses, as the Fund indirectly bears its
proportionate share of any expenses paid by the ETFs in which it
invests. Further, certain of the ETFs in which each Fund may
invest are leveraged. The more a Fund invests in such leveraged
ETFs, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those
investments.
Other Investments
and Risk Factors
For cash management purposes, the Fund may engage in repurchase
agreements with broker-dealers, banks and other financial
institutions to earn a return on temporarily available cash.
Such transactions are considered loans by the Fund and are
subject to the risk of default by the other party. The Fund will
only enter into such agreements with parties deemed to be
creditworthy by the Adviser under guidelines approved by the
Board.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid
securities and certain restricted securities. Such securities
may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price
that the Fund would like. Thus, the Fund may have to sell such
securities at a lower price, sell other securities instead to
obtain cash or forego other investment opportunities.
Further information about these types of investments and other
investment practices that may be used by the Fund is contained
in the Funds SAI.
The Fund may sell securities without regard to the length of
time they have been held to take advantage of new investment
opportunities, when the Adviser believes the potential for
capital appreciation has lessened, or for other reasons. The
Funds portfolio turnover rate may vary from year to year.
A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) increases a
funds transaction costs (including brokerage commissions
and dealer costs) which would adversely impact a funds
performance. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the
realization of more short-term capital gains than if a fund had
lower portfolio turnover. The turnover rate will not be a
limiting factor, however, if the Adviser considers portfolio
changes appropriate.
Temporary Defensive Strategy. When market conditions
dictate a more defensive investment strategy, the Fund may, on a
temporary basis, hold cash or invest a portion or all of its
assets in money-market instruments, obligations of the U.S.
government, its agencies or instrumentalities, obligations of
foreign sovereignties, prime commercial paper, repurchase
agreements and bank obligations, bankers acceptances and
certificates of deposit (including Eurodollar certificates of
deposit). Under normal market conditions, the potential for
capital appreciation on these securities will tend to be lower
than the potential for capital appreciation on other securities
that may be owned by the Fund. In taking such a defensive
position, the Fund would temporarily not be pursuing its
principal investment strategies and may not achieve its
investment objective.
The Funds investments in the types of securities described
in this prospectus vary from time to time, and at any time, the
Fund may not be invested in all types of securities described in
this prospectus. The Fund may also invest in securities and
other investments not described in this prospectus. Any
percentage limitations with respect to assets of the Fund are
applied at the time of purchase.

Distributions
The Fund expects, based on its investment objective and
strategies, that its distributions, if any, will consist of
ordinary income, capital gains or some combination of both.
Dividends
The Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net
investment income, if any, annually.
Capital
Gains Distributions
The Fund generally distributes long-term and short-term capital
gains (net of any capital loss carryovers), if any, at least
annually. Capital gains distributions may vary considerably from
year to year as a result of the Funds normal investment
activities and cash flows. During a time of economic downturn, a
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 a fund may experience a current year loss, it may
nonetheless distribute prior year capital gains.

Includes adjustments in accordance

Assumes reinvestment of all
distributions for the period and does not include payment of the
maximum sales charge of 5.75% or a contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC). On purchases of $1 million or more, a CDSC
of 1% may be imposed on certain redemptions made within eighteen
months of purchase. If the sales charges were included, total
returns would be lower. These returns include combined
Rule 12b-1

deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund
distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The Ratio of Expenses to Average
Net Assets does not reflect credits earned on cash balances. If
this credit was reflected as a reduction of expenses, the ratio

Amount is less than $0.01 per share.
|
(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) |
|
Assumes reinvestment of all
distributions for the period. These returns do not reflect the
deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund
distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

(e) |
|
Ratios are based on average daily
net assets (000s omitted) of $2,571.
|
(f) |
|
The Ratio of Expenses to Average
Net Assets does not reflect credits earned on cash balances. If
this credit was reflected as a reduction of expenses, the ratio
would decrease by 0.01% for the year ended August 31, 2006.

10 Invesco
Van Kampen American Franchise Fund
Hypothetical
Investment and Expense Information
In connection with the final settlement reached between Invesco
and certain of its affiliates with certain regulators, including
the New York Attorney Generals Office, the SEC and the
Colorado Attorney Generals 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
Funds expenses, including investment advisory fees and
other Fund costs, on the Funds returns over a
10-year
period. The example reflects the following:
|
|
|
|
n
|
You invest $10,000 in the fund and hold it for the entire
10-year
period;
|
|
|
|
|
n
|
Your investment has a 5% return before expenses each year;
|
|
|
|
|
n
|
The Funds current annual expense ratio includes any
applicable contractual fee waiver or expense reimbursement for
the period committed;
|
|
|
|
|
n
|
Hypotheticals both with and without any applicable initial sales
charge applied; and
|
|
|
|
|
n
|
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 classes for any of the years shown.
This is only a hypothetical presentation made to illustrate what
expenses and returns would be under the above scenarios; your
actual returns and expenses are likely to differ (higher or
lower) from those shown below.

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

MCF05/11
Share
Class Eligibility
Class A, B,
C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares
Class A, C and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares are available to
all retail investors, including individuals, trusts,
corporations and other business and charitable organizations and
eligible employee benefit plans. The share classes offer
different fee structures which 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.
New or additional investments in Class B shares are no
longer permitted. Existing shareholders of Class B shares
may continue as Class B shareholders, continue to reinvest
dividends and capital gains distributions in Class B shares
and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares
of other Funds as permitted by the current exchange privileges,
until they convert. For Class B shares outstanding on
November 29, 2010 and Class B shares acquired upon
reinvestment of dividends, all Class B share attributes
including the associated
Rule 12b-1
fee, CDSC and conversion features, will continue.
Class A2 Shares
Class A2 shares, which are offered only on Invesco
Limited Maturity Treasury Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate
Fund, are closed to new investors. All references in this
prospectus to Class A shares, shall include Class A2 shares,
unless otherwise noted.
Class A5,
B5, C5 and R5 Shares
Class A5, B5, C5 and R5 shares are closed to new investors.
Only investors who have continuously maintained an account in
Class A5, C5 or R5 of a specific Fund may make additional
purchases into Class A5, C5 and R5, respectively, of such
specific Fund. All references in this Prospectus to
Class A, B, C or R shares of the Invesco Funds, shall
include Class A5 (excluding Invesco Money Market Fund), B5,
C5, or R5 shares, respectively, of the Invesco Funds, unless
otherwise noted. All references in this Prospectus to Invesco
Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund, shall include
Class A5 shares of Invesco 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 generally available only to eligible
employee benefit plans. These may include, for example,
retirement and deferred compensation plans maintained pursuant
to Sections 401, 403, and 457 of the Internal Revenue Code
(the Code); nonqualified deferred compensation plans; health
savings accounts maintained pursuant to Section 223 of the
Code; and voluntary employees beneficiary arrangements
maintained pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.
Retirement plans maintained pursuant to Section 401
generally include 401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, money
purchase pension plans, and defined benefit plans. Class R
shares are generally not available for individual retirement
accounts (IRAs) such as traditional, Roth, SEP, SAR-SEP and
SIMPLE IRAs.
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
investors 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 generally available to investors who
purchase through a fee-based advisory account with an approved
financial intermediary or to 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. In fee-based advisory programs, a
financial intermediary typically charges each investor a fee
based on the value of the investors account in exchange
for servicing that account.
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.
Investor
Class Shares
Some of the Funds offer Investor Class
shares. Investor Class shares are sold with no initial
sales charge and have a maximum
12b-1 fee of
0.25%. Investor Class shares are not sold to members of the
general public. Only the following persons may purchase Investor
Class shares:
|
|
n
|
Investors who established accounts prior to April 1, 2002,
in Investor Class shares 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).
These investors are referred to as Investor Class
grandfathered investors.
|
n
|
Customers of certain financial intermediaries which have had
relationships with the Funds distributor or any Funds that
offered Investor Class shares prior to April 1, 2002, who
have continuously maintained such relationships. These
intermediaries are referred to as Investor Class
grandfathered intermediaries.
|
n
|
Eligible employee benefit plans. Investor Class shares are
generally not available for IRAs unless the IRA depositor is
considered an Investor Class grandfathered investor or the
account is opened through an Investor Class grandfathered
intermediary.
|
n
|
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.
|
A-2 The
Invesco Funds
Distribution
and Service
(12b-1)
Fees
Except as noted below, each Fund has adopted a distribution plan
or distribution plan and service plan pursuant to SEC
Rule 12b-1.
A 12b-1 plan
allows a Fund to pay distribution and service fees to Invesco
Distributors, Inc. (Invesco Distributors) to compensate or
reimburse, as applicable, Invesco Distributors for its efforts
in connection with the sale and distribution of the Funds
shares and for services provided to shareholders, 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:
|
|
n
|
Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund, Class A2 shares.
|
n
|
Invesco Money Market Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
n
|
Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Investor Class shares.
|
n
|
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
n
|
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class
shares.
|
n
|
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares.
|
n
|
All Funds, Class Y shares
|
Under the applicable distribution plan or distribution plan and
service plan, the Funds may pay distribution and service fees up
to the following amounts with respect to each Funds
average daily net assets with respect to such class:
|
|
n
|
Class A shares: 0.25%
|
n
|
Class B shares: 1.00%
|
n
|
Class C shares: 1.00%
|
n
|
Class P shares: 0.10%
|
n
|
Class R shares: 0.50%
|
n
|
Class S shares: 0.15%
|
n
|
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares: 0.15%
|
n
|
Investor Class shares: 0.25%
|
Please refer to the prospectus fee table for more information on
a particular Funds
12b-1 fees.
Initial
Sales Charges (Class A Shares Only)
The Funds are grouped into four categories for determining
initial sales charges. The Other Information section
of each Funds prospectus will tell you the sales charge
category in which the Fund is classified. As used below, the
term offering price with respect to all categories
of Class A shares includes the initial sales charge.

Class A
Shares Sold Without an Initial Sales Charge
Certain categories of investors are permitted to purchase and
certain intermediaries are permitted to sell Class A shares
of the Funds without an initial sales charge because their
transactions involve little or no expense. The investors who may
purchase Class A shares without paying an initial sales
charge include the following:
|
|
n
|
Investors who purchase shares through a fee-based advisory
account with an approved financial intermediary or any current
or retired trustee, director, officer or employee of any Invesco
Fund or of Invesco Ltd. or any of its subsidiaries. In a fee
based advisory program, a financial intermediary typically
charges each investor a fee based on the value of the
investors account in exchange for servicing that account.
|
n
|
Any investor who purchases their shares with the proceeds of a
rollover, transfer or distribution from a retirement plan or
individual retirement account for which Invesco Distributors
acts as the prototype sponsor to another eligible retirement
plan or individual retirement account for which Invesco
Distributors acts as the prototype sponsor, to the extent that
such proceeds are attributable to the redemption of shares of a
Fund held through the plan or account.
|
n
|
Certain retirement plans (the Plan or
Plans); provided, however, that such Plans:
|
|
|
|
|
n
|
have assets of at least $1 million; or
|
|
n
|
have at least 100 employees eligible to participate in the Plan;
or
|
|
n
|
execute multiple-plan transactions through a single omnibus
account per Fund.
|
|
|
n
|
Any investor who maintains an account in Investor Class shares
of a Fund (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).
|
n
|
Qualified Tuition Programs created and maintained in accordance
with Section 529 of the Code.
|
n
|
Insurance company separate accounts.
|
No investor will pay an initial sales charge in the following
circumstances:
|
|
n
|
When buying Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund
and Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity
Treasury Fund or Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
|
n
|
When reinvesting dividends and distributions.
|
n
|
When exchanging shares of one Fund, that were previously
assessed a sales charge, for shares of another Fund.
|
n
|
As a result of a Funds merger, consolidation, or
acquisition of the assets of another Fund.
|
n
|
Unit investment trusts sponsored by Invesco Distributors or its
affiliates.
|
n
|
Unitholders of Invesco Van Kampen unit investment trusts that
enrolled in the reinvestment program prior to December 3,
2007 to reinvest

distributions from such trusts in Class A shares of the
Funds. The Funds reserve the right to modify or terminate this
program at any time.
|
Reduced Sales
Charges and Sales Charge Exceptions
You may qualify for reduced sales charges or sales charge
exceptions. Qualifying types of accounts for you and your
Immediate Family as described in a Funds SAI
include individual, joint, certain trusts, 529 college savings
plan and Coverdell Education Savings, certain retirement plans
established for the benefit of an individual, and Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minor Acts accounts. To qualify for these
reductions or exceptions, you or your financial adviser must
notify the transfer agent and provide the necessary
documentation at the time of purchase that your purchase
qualifies for such treatment. Certain individuals and
employer-sponsored retirement plans may link accounts for the
purpose of qualifying for lower initial sales charges.
Purchases of Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund
or Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund 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 Rights of Accumulation
or Letters of Intent.
Rights of
Accumulation
You may combine your new purchases of Class A shares of a
Fund with other Fund shares currently owned (Class A, B, C,
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 is based on
the total of your current purchase and the value of other shares
owned based on their current public offering price. The 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 Letter of Intent (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 be assessed the higher initial sales
charge that would normally be applicable to the total amount
actually invested.
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 in the same
share class of any Fund in the same Category within
180 days of the redemption without paying an initial sales
charge. Class B, P and S redemptions may be reinvested only
into Class A shares with no initial sales charge.
Class Y redemptions may be reinvested into either
Class Y shares or Class A shares with no 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.
In order to take advantage of this reinstatement privilege, you
must inform your financial adviser or the transfer agent that
you wish to do so at the time of your investment.
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charges (CDSCs)
CDSCs on
Class A Shares and Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco
Money Market Fund
You can purchase $1,000,000 or more (a Large Purchase) of
Class A shares of Category I, II and IV Funds without
paying an initial sales charge. However, if you redeem these
shares prior to 18 months after the date of purchase, they
will be subject to a CDSC of 1%.
If you currently own Class A shares of a Category I, II or
IV Fund, and make additional purchases without paying an initial
sales charge that result in account balances of $1,000,000 or
more, the additional shares purchased will be subject to an
18-month, 1%
CDSC.
If Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of
record in connection with a Large Purchase of Class A
shares by an employee benefit plan, the Class A shares may
be subject to a 1% CDSC if all of the plans shares are
redeemed within one year from the date of the plans
initial purchase.
If you acquire Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money
Market Fund or Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash
Fund through an exchange involving Class A shares that were
subject to a CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the
exchange will continue to be subject to that same CDSC.
CDSCs on
Class B Shares
Class B shares are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your
shares during the CDSC period, you will be assessed a CDSC as
follows, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC exceptions
outlined below. The Funds are grouped into seven categories for
determining CDSCs. The Other Information section of
each Funds prospectus will tell you the CDSC category in
which the Fund is classified.

CDSCs on
Class C Shares
Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge.
However, they are subject to a CDSC. If you redeem your shares
during the first year since purchase has been made you will be
assessed a 1% CDSC, unless you qualify for one of the CDSC
exceptions outlined below.
CDSCs on
Class C SharesEmployee Benefit Plan
Invesco Distributors pays a concession to the dealer of record
in connection with a purchase of Class C shares by an
employee benefit plan; the Class C shares are subject to a
1.00% CDSC at the time of redemption if all of the plans
shares are redeemed within one year from the date of the
plans initial purchase.
CDSCs on
Class C Shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund
Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha Fund and Invesco
Short Term Bond Fund are not normally subject to a CDSC.
However, if you acquired shares of those Funds through an
exchange, and the shares originally purchased were subject to a
CDSC, the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will
continue to be subject to that same CDSC. Conversely, if you
acquire Class C shares of any other Fund as a result of an
exchange involving Class C shares of Invesco LIBOR Alpha
Fund or Invesco Short Term Bond Fund that were not subject to a
CDSC, then the shares acquired as a result of the exchange will
not be subject to a CDSC.
Computing a
CDSC
The CDSC on redemptions of shares is computed based on the lower
of their original purchase price or current net asset value, net
of reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions. In
determining whether to charge a CDSC, shares are accounted for
on a
first-in,
first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares on
which there is no CDSC first, and then shares in the order of
their purchase.
CDSC
Exceptions
Investors who own shares that are otherwise subject to a CDSC
will not pay a CDSC in the following circumstances:
|
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
If you redeem shares to pay account fees.
|
n
|
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.
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions are not subject to CDSCs.
The following share classes are sold with no CDSC:
|
|
n
|
Class A shares of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund.
|
n
|
Class A shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury
Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund purchased on or
after October 21, 2002, and prior to February 1, 2010.
|
n
|
Class A2 shares of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury
Fund and Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund.
|
n
|
Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market Fund.
|
n
|
Investor Class shares of any Fund.
|
n
|
Class P shares of Invesco Summit Fund.
|
n
|
Class S shares of Invesco Charter Fund, Invesco
Conservative Allocation Fund, Invesco Growth Allocation Fund,
Invesco Moderate Allocation Fund, Invesco Moderately
Conservative Allocation Fund and Invesco Summit Fund.
|
n
|
Class Y shares of any Fund.
|
CDSCs Upon
Converting to Class Y Shares
If shares that are subject to a CDSC are converted to
Class Y shares, the applicable CDSC will be assessed prior
to conversion.
Redemption
Fees
Certain Funds impose a 2% redemption fee (on redemption
proceeds) if you redeem or exchange shares within 31 days
of purchase. Please refer to the applicable Funds
prospectus to determine whether that Fund
A-5 The
Invesco Funds
imposes a redemption fee. As of the date of this prospectus, the
following Funds impose redemption fees:
|
|

|

Invesco Emerging Markets Equity Fund
Invesco European Growth Fund

|
The redemption fee will be retained by the Fund from which you
are redeeming or exchanging shares, and is intended to offset
the trading costs, market impact and other costs associated with
short-term money movements in and out of the Fund. The
redemption fee is imposed on a
first-in,
first-out basis, which means that you will redeem shares in the
order of their purchase.
Redemption fees generally will not be charged in the following
circumstances:
|
|
n
|
Redemptions and exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained
by intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to
assess the redemption fees.
|
n
|
Redemptions and exchanges of shares held by funds of funds,
qualified tuition plans maintained pursuant to Section 529
of the Code, variable insurance contracts or separately managed
qualified default investment alternative vehicles maintained
pursuant to Section 404(c)(5) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA), which use the Funds as
underlying investments.
|
n
|
Redemptions and exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic
investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs or
systematic withdrawal plans.
|
n
|
Redemptions requested within 31 days following the death or
post-purchase disability of an account owner.
|
n
|
Redemptions or exchanges initiated by a Fund.
|
The following shares are not subject to redemption fees,
irrespective of whether they are redeemed in accordance with any
of the exceptions set forth above:
|
|
n
|
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and
distributions.
|
n
|
Shares acquired through systematic purchase plans.
|
n
|
Shares acquired in connection with a rollover or transfer of
assets from the trustee or custodian of an employee benefit plan
to the trustee or custodian of another employee benefit plan.
|
Shares held by employee benefit plans will only be subject to
redemption fees if the shares were acquired by exchange and are
redeemed by exchange within 31 days of purchase.
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are
maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds
transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through
products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as
employee 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 names
of individual investors), the intermediary account or conduit
investment vehicle may be considered an individual shareholder
of the Funds for purposes of assessing redemption fees. In these
cases, the Funds are likely to be limited in their ability to
assess redemption fees on transactions initiated by individual
investors, and the applicability of redemption fees will be
determined based on the aggregate holdings and redemptions of
the intermediary account or the conduit investment vehicle.
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 names of individual investors), the intermediary or
conduit investment vehicle may impose rules intended to limit
short-term money movements in and out of the Funds which differ
from those described in this prospectus. In such cases, there
may be redemption fees imposed by the intermediary or conduit
investment vehicle on different terms (and subject to different
exceptions) than those set forth above. Please consult your
financial adviser or other financial intermediary for details.
The Funds have the discretion to waive the 2% redemption fee if
a Fund is in jeopardy of losing its registered investment
company qualification for tax purposes.
Your financial adviser or other financial intermediary may
charge service fees for handling redemption transactions. Your
shares also may be subject to a CDSC in addition to the
redemption fee.
Purchasing
Shares
If you hold your shares through a financial intermediary, your
eligibility to purchase shares and the terms by which you may
purchase, redeem and exchange shares may differ depending on
that institutions policies.
Minimum
Investments
There are no minimum investments for Class P, R or S shares
for fund accounts. The minimum investments for Class A, C,

Purchase orders will not be processed unless the account
application and purchase payment are received in good order. In
accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, if you fail to provide all
the required information requested in the current account
application, your purchase order will not be processed.
Additionally, federal law requires that the Fund verify and
record your identifying information.
Systematic
Purchase Plan
You can arrange for periodic investments in any of the Funds by
authorizing the 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, Roth 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 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
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. Certain financial advisers and other financial
intermediaries may also offer dollar cost averaging programs. If
you participate in one of these programs and it is the same or
similar to Invescos Dollar Cost Averaging program,
exchanges made under the program generally will not be counted
toward the limitation of four exchanges out of a Fund per
calendar year, discussed below.
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. If you elect to receive your distributions by
check, and the distribution amount is $10 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 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 unless you own shares in both Class A and Class B of the
same Fund, in which case the check may be reinvested into the
Class A shares. You should contact the transfer agent to
change your distribution option, and your request to do so must
be received by the 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.
You must comply with the following requirements to be eligible
to invest your dividends and distributions in shares of another
Fund:
|
|
n
|
Your account balance in the Fund paying the dividend or
distribution must be at least $5,000; and
|
n
|
Your account balance in the Fund receiving the dividend or
distribution must be at least $500.
|
Portfolio
Rebalancing Program
If you have at least $5,000 in your account, you may participate
in the Portfolio Rebalancing Program. Under this Program, you
can designate how the total value of your Fund holdings should
be rebalanced, on a percentage basis, between two and ten of
your Funds on a quarterly, semiannual or annual basis. Your
portfolio will be rebalanced through the exchange of shares in
one or more of your Funds for shares of the same class of one or
more other Funds in your portfolio. Rebalancing will not occur
if your portfolio is within 2% of your stated allocation. If you
wish to participate in the Program, make changes or cancel the
Program, the transfer agent must receive your request to
participate, changes, or cancellation in good order at least
five business days prior to the next rebalancing date, which is
normally the 28th day of the last month of the period you
choose. We may modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any
time on 60 days prior written notice to participating
investors. Certain financial advisers and other financial
intermediaries may also offer portfolio rebalancing programs. If
you participate in one of these programs and it is the same as
or similar to Invescos program, exchanges made under the
program generally will not be counted toward the limitation of
four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar year, discussed below.
Redeeming
Shares
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the
transfer agent or authorized intermediary, if applicable, must
receive your call during the hours of the customary trading
session of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in order to effect
the redemption at that days net asset value. For Premier
Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, the transfer agent or
authorized intermediary, if
A-7 The
Invesco Funds
applicable, must receive your call before the Funds net
asset value determination in order to effect the redemption that
day.

n The dollar value or number of shares that you wish to redeem;
|
|
|
n The name of the Fund(s) and your account number; and
|

|
|
|
The transfer agent may require that you provide additional

powers of attorney, if applicable. If you are redeeming from an
IRA or other type of retirement account, you must complete the
appropriate distribution form, as well as employer authorization.
|
By Telephone
|
|
Call the transfer agent at
1-800-959-4246.
You will be allowed to redeem by telephone if:
|
|
|
n Your redemption proceeds are to be mailed to your address on record (and there has been no change in your address of record within the last 30 days) or transferred electronically to a pre-authorized checking account;
|
|
|
n You do not hold physical share certificates;
|
|
|
n You can provide proper identification information;
|
|
|
n Your redemption proceeds do not exceed $250,000 per Fund; and
|
|
|
n You have not previously declined the telephone redemption privilege.
|
|
|
You may, in limited circumstances, initiate a redemption from an
Invesco IRA account by telephone. Redemptions from other types
of retirement plan accounts may be initiated only in writing and
require the completion of the appropriate distribution form, as
well as employer authorization.

|
|
Timing and Method
of Payment
We normally will send out payments within one business day, and
in any event no more than seven days, after your redemption
request is received in good order (meaning that all necessary
information and documentation related to the redemption request
have been provided to the transfer agent or authorized
intermediary, if applicable). If you redeem shares recently
purchased by check or ACH, you may be required to wait up to ten
business days before we send your redemption proceeds. This
delay is necessary to ensure that the purchase has cleared.
Payment may be postponed under unusual circumstances, as allowed
by the SEC, such as when the NYSE restricts or suspends trading.
Redemption checks are mailed to your address of record, via
first class U.S. mail, unless you make other
arrangements with the transfer agent.
We use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions
communicated via telephone and the Internet are genuine, and we
are not liable for losses arising from actions taken in
accordance with instructions that are reasonably believed to be
genuine.
Expedited
Redemptions (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money Market
Fund only)
If you place your redemption order by telephone, before
11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and request an expedited
redemption, we will transmit payment of redemption proceeds on
that same day via federal wire to a bank of record on your
account. If we receive your redemption order after
11:30 a.m. Eastern Time and before the close of the
customary trading session of the NYSE, we will transmit payment
on the next business day.
Systematic
Withdrawals
You may arrange for regular periodic withdrawals from your
account in amounts equal to or greater than $50 per Fund. We
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
plan. You can stop this plan at any time by giving ten
days prior notice to the transfer agent.
Check
Writing
The transfer agent provides check writing privileges for
accounts in the following Funds and share classes:
|
|
n
|
Invesco Money Market Fund, Invesco Cash Reserve Shares,
Class A5 shares, Class Y shares and Investor Class
shares
|
n
|
Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Class A shares, Class Y
shares and Investor Class shares
|
n
|
Premier Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
n
|
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio, Investor Class shares
|
n
|
Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, Investor Class
shares
|
You may redeem shares of these Funds by writing checks in
amounts of $250 or more if you have subscribed to the service by
completing a Check Writing authorization form.
Redemption by check is not available for retirement accounts.
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.
Signature
Guarantees
We require a signature guarantee in the following circumstances:
|
|
n
|
When your redemption proceeds will equal or exceed $250,000 per
Fund.
|
n
|
When you request that redemption proceeds be paid to someone
other than the registered owner of the account.
|
n
|
When you request that redemption proceeds be sent somewhere
other than the address of record or bank of record on the
account.
|
n
|
When you request that redemption proceeds be sent to a new
address or an address that changed in the last 30 days.
|
The transfer agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by
a number of different types of financial institutions. Call the
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
Initiated by the Funds
If your account (Class A, B, C, P, S and Investor Class
shares only) has been open at least one year, you have not made
an additional purchase in the account during the past six
calendar months, and the value of your account falls below $500
for three consecutive months, the Funds have
A-8 The
Invesco Funds
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.
If the 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.
Minimum Account
Balance
A low balance fee of $12 per year will be deducted in the fourth
quarter of each year from all Class A share, Class C
share and Investor Class share accounts held in the Fund (each a
Fund Account) with a value less than the low balance amount
(the Low Balance Amount) as determined from time to time by the
Fund and the Adviser. The Fund and the Adviser generally expect
the Low Balance Amount to be $750, but such amount may be
adjusted for any year depending on various factors, including
market conditions. The Low Balance Amount and the date on which
it will be deducted from any Fund Account will be posted on
our web site, www.invesco.com/us, on or about November 15 of
each year. This fee will be payable to the transfer agent by
redeeming from a Fund Account sufficient shares owned by a
shareholder and will be used by the transfer agent to offset
amounts that would otherwise be payable by the Fund to the
transfer agent under the transfer agency agreement. The low
balance fee is not applicable to Fund Accounts
comprised of: (i) fund of funds accounts,
(ii) escheated accounts, (iii) accounts participating
in a Systematic Purchase Plan established directly with the
Fund, (iv) accounts with Dollar Cost Averaging,
(v) accounts in which Class B Shares are immediately
involved in the automatic conversion to Class A Shares, and
those corresponding Class A Shares immediately involved in
such conversion, (vi) accounts in which all shares are
evidenced by share certificates, (vii) certain retirement
plan accounts, (viii) forfeiture accounts in connection
with certain retirement plans, (ix) investments in
Class B, Class P, Class R, Class S or
Class Y Shares, (x) certain money market funds
(Investor Class of Premier U.S. Government Money, Premier
Tax-Exempt and Premier Portfolios; all classes of Invesco Money
Market Fund; and all classes of Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund),
or (xi) accounts in Class A shares established
pursuant to an advisory fee program.
Some investments in the Funds are made through accounts that are
maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds
transfer agent) and some investments are made indirectly through
products that use the Funds as underlying investments, such as
employee 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 names
of individual investors), the intermediary or conduit investment
vehicle may impose rules which differ from those described in
this prospectus. In such cases, there may be low balance fees
imposed by the intermediary or conduit investment vehicle on
different terms (and subject to different exceptions) than those
set forth above. Please consult your financial adviser or other
financial intermediary for details.
Exchanging
Shares
You may, under certain circumstances, exchange shares in one
Fund for those of another Fund. An exchange is the purchase of
shares in one Fund which is paid for with the proceeds from a
redemption of shares of another Fund effectuated on the same
day. Any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal
income tax. Accordingly, the procedures and processes applicable
to redemptions of Fund shares, as discussed under the heading
Redeeming Shares above, will apply. Before
requesting an exchange, review the prospectus of the Fund you
wish to acquire.
All exchanges are subject to the limitations set forth in the
prospectuses of the Funds. If you wish to exchange shares of one
Fund for those of another Fund, you must consult the prospectus
of the Fund whose shares you wish to acquire to determine
whether the Fund is offering shares to new investors and whether
you are eligible to acquire shares of that Fund.
Permitted

Fund. The following below shows permitted exchanges:

Exchanges into
Invesco Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund
Invesco Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund is a closed-end fund that
continuously offers its shares pursuant to the terms and
conditions of its prospectus. The Adviser is the investment
adviser for the Invesco Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund. As with the
Invesco Funds, you generally may exchange your shares of
Class A (Invesco Cash Reserve Shares of Invesco Money
Market Fund), Class B or Class C of any Invesco Fund
for shares of Class A, Class B or Class C,
respectively, of Invesco Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund. Please
refer to the prospectus for the Invesco Van Kampen Senior Loan
Fund for more information, including limitations on exchanges
out of Invesco Van Kampen Senior Loan Fund.

All existing systematic exchanges and reallocations will cease

|
Exchange
Conditions
The following conditions apply to all exchanges:
|
|
n
|
Shares must have been held for at least one day prior to the
exchange with the exception of dividends and distributions that
are reinvested; and
|
n
|
If you have physical share certificates, you must return them to
the transfer agent in order to effect the exchange.
|
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.
Limit on the
Number of Exchanges
You will generally be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund
per calendar year (other than the money market funds and Invesco
Limited Maturity Treasury Fund); provided, however, that the
following transactions will not count toward the exchange
limitation:
|
|
n
|
Exchanges of shares held in accounts maintained by
intermediaries that do not have the systematic capability to
apply the exchange limitation.
|
n
|
Exchanges of shares held by Funds of Funds, qualified tuition
plans maintained pursuant to Section 529 of the Code, and
insurance company separate accounts which use the Funds as
underlying investments.
|
n
|
Generally, exchanges effectuated pursuant to automatic
investment rebalancing or dollar cost averaging programs.
|
n
|
Generally, exchanges on fee-based advisory accounts which
involve a periodic rebalancing feature.
|
n
|
Exchanges initiated by a Fund or by the trustee, administrator
or other fiduciary of an employee benefit plan (not in response
to distribution or exchange instructions received from a plan
participant).
|
Each Fund reserves the discretion to accept exchanges in excess
of these guidelines on a
case-by-case
basis if the Fund, or its designated agent, believes that
granting such exceptions would be consistent with the best
interests of shareholders.
There is no limit on the number of exchanges out of Invesco
Limited Maturity Treasury Fund, Invesco Money Market Fund,
Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio.
If you exchange shares of one Fund for shares of multiple other
Funds as part of a single transaction, that transaction is
counted as one exchange out of a Fund.
Initial Sales
Charges, CDSCs and 12b-1 Fees on Applicable to
Exchanges
You may be required to pay an initial sales charge when
exchanging from a Fund with a lower initial sales charge than
the one into which you are exchanging. If you exchange into
shares that are subject to a CDSC, we 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 and distribution plans and service plans
among the Funds, certain exchanges of Class A shares,
Class B 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 statement of
additional information for more information on the fees and
expenses, including applicable 12b-1 fees, of the Fund you wish
to acquire.
Rights
Reserved by the Funds
Each Fund and its agents reserve the right at any time to:
|
|
n
|
Reject or cancel all or any part of any purchase or exchange
order.
|
n
|
Modify any terms or conditions related to the purchase,
redemption or exchange of shares of any Fund.
|
n
|
Reject or cancel any request to establish a Systematic Purchase
Plan, Systematic Redemption Plan or Portfolio Rebalancing
Program.
|
n

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 Boards of Trustees of the Funds
(collectively, the Board) has adopted policies and procedures
designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of Fund
shares for all Funds except the money market funds and the
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury 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:
|
|
n
|
Trade activity monitoring.
|
n
|
Trading guidelines.
|
n
|
Redemption fees on trades in certain Funds.
|
n
|
The use of fair value pricing consistent with procedures
approved by the Board.
|
Each of these tools is described in more detail below. Although
these tools are designed to discourage excessive short-term
trading, you should understand that none of these tools alone
nor all of them taken together eliminate the possibility that
excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds will occur.
Moreover, each of these tools involves judgments that are
inherently subjective. Invesco Affiliates seek to make these
judgments to the best of their abilities in a manner that they
believe is consistent with long-term shareholder interests.
Money Market Funds. The Board of Invesco Money
Market Fund, Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio,
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio (the money market funds) has not adopted any
policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and
redemptions of such Funds shares. The Board 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 funds yield could be negatively impacted.
A-10 The
Invesco Funds
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any
such policies and procedures for the money market funds for the
following reasons:
|
|
n
|
The money market funds are offered to investors as cash
management vehicles; investors must perceive an investment in
such Funds as an alternative to cash, and must be able to
purchase and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
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, there are no price
arbitrage opportunities.
|
n
|
Because the money market funds seek to maintain a constant net
asset value, investors expect to receive upon redemption the
amount they originally invested in such Funds. Imposition of
redemption fees would run contrary to investor expectations.
|
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund. The Board of
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund has not adopted any
policies and procedures that would limit frequent purchases and
redemptions of such Funds shares. The Board 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 Invesco Limited
Maturity Treasury 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,
Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Funds yield could be
negatively impacted.
The Board does not believe that it is appropriate to adopt any
such policies and procedures for the Fund for the following
reasons:
|
|
n
|
Many investors use Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund as a
short-term investment alternative and should be able to purchase
and redeem shares regularly and frequently.
|
n
|
One of the advantages of Invesco Limited Maturity Treasury Fund
as compared to other investment options is liquidity. Any policy
that diminishes the liquidity of Invesco Limited Maturity
Treasury Fund will be detrimental to the continuing operations
of such Fund.

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 shareholders 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.
Trading
Guidelines
You will be limited to four exchanges out of a Fund per calendar
year (other than the money market funds and Invesco Limited
Maturity Treasury Fund). If you meet the four exchange limit
within a Fund in a calendar year, or a Fund or an Invesco
Affiliate determines, in its sole discretion, that your
short-term trading activity is excessive (regardless of whether
or not you exceed such guidelines), it may, in its sole
discretion, reject any additional purchase and exchange orders.
Redemption Fees
You may be charged a 2% redemption fee if you redeem, including
redeeming by exchange, shares of certain Funds within
31 days of purchase. The ability of a Fund to assess a
redemption fee on redemptions effectuated through accounts that
are maintained by intermediaries (rather than the Funds
transfer agent) and through conduit investment vehicles may be
limited.
Fair Value
Pricing
Securities owned by a Fund are to be valued at current market
value if market quotations are readily available. All other
securities and assets of a Fund for which market quotations are
not readily available are to be valued at fair value determined
in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. An effect
of fair value pricing may be to reduce the ability of frequent
traders to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting
from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings.
However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading.
Pricing
of Shares
Determination of
Net Asset Value
The price of each Funds shares is the Funds net
asset value per share. The Funds value portfolio securities for
which market quotations are readily available at market value.
The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market
quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in
good faith using procedures approved by the Board. The Board has
delegated the daily determination of good faith fair value
methodologies to Invescos Valuation Committee, which acts
in accordance with Board approved policies. On a quarterly
basis, Invesco provides the Board various reports indicating the
quality and effectiveness of its fair value decisions on
portfolio holdings. Securities and other assets quoted in
foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on the
prevailing exchange rates on that day.
Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or
unreliable because the security is not traded frequently,
trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading
market or issuer specific events occurred after the security
ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the
close of the market on which the security trades and the close
of the NYSE and when the Fund calculates its net asset value.
Issuer specific events may cause the last market quotation to be
unreliable. Such events may include a merger or insolvency,
events which 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
market quotations are not readily available, including where
Invesco determines that the closing price of the security is
unreliable, Invesco will value the security at fair value in
good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value
pricing may 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.
Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect
to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value
requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including
indications of fair value available from pricing services. A
fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the
prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net asset
values.
Invesco may use indications of fair value from pricing services
approved by the Board. In other circumstances, the Invesco
Valuation Committee may fair value securities in good faith
using procedures approved by the Board. As a means of evaluating
its fair value process, Invesco routinely compares closing
market prices, the next days opening prices for the
security in its primary market if available, and indications of
fair value from other sources. Fair value pricing methods and
pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the
Board.
A-11 The
Invesco Funds
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, Invesco will value the security at
fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board.
Foreign Securities. If market quotations are
available and reliable for foreign exchange traded equity
securities, the securities will be valued at the market
quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities
end before the close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may
become unreliable. If between the time trading ends on a
particular security and the close of the customary trading
session on the NYSE events occur that are significant and may
make the closing price unreliable, the Fund may fair value the
security. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Invesco
determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the
closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security
at fair value. Invesco 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
Invesco believes, at the approved degree of certainty, that the
price is not reflective of current market value, Invesco 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. Government, corporate,
asset-backed and municipal bonds, convertible securities,
including high yield or junk bonds, and loans, normally are
valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing
services. Prices provided by the pricing services may be
determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may
reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in
similar groups of securities, developments related to special
securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data.
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 Invesco valuation
committee will fair value the security using procedures approved
by the Board.
Short-term Securities. The Funds short-term
investments are valued at amortized cost when the security has
60 days or less to maturity. Invesco Money Market Fund,
Invesco Tax-Exempt Cash Fund, Premier Portfolio, Premier
Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money
Portfolio value all their securities at amortized cost. Invesco
High Income Municipal Fund, Invesco Municipal Bond Fund and
Invesco Tax-Free Intermediate Fund 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.
Futures and Options. Futures contracts are valued at
the final settlement price set by the exchange on which they are
principally traded. Options are valued on the basis of market
quotations, if available.
Swap Agreements. Swap Agreements are fair valued
using an evaluated quote provided by an independent pricing
service. Evaluated quotes provided by the pricing service are
based on a model that may include end of day net present values,
spreads, ratings, industry and company performance.
Open-end Funds. To the extent 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 Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio,
determines the net asset value of its shares on each day the
NYSE is open for business (a business day), as of the close of
the customary trading session, or earlier NYSE closing time that
day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio open for business at
8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Premier Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio will generally determine
the net asset value of their shares at 5:30 p.m. Eastern
Time. Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio will generally determine the
net asset value of its shares at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio are authorized not to open
for trading on a day that is otherwise a business day if the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York and The Bank of New York
Mellon, the Funds custodian, are not open for business or
the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association
(SIFMA) recommends that government securities dealers not open
for trading and any such day will not be considered a business
day. Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio also may close early on a
business day if SIFMA recommends that government securities
dealers close early. If Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio or 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.
From time to time and in circumstances deemed appropriate by
Invesco in its sole discretion, each of Premier Portfolio,
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio may remain open for business, during customary
business day hours, on a day that the NYSE is closed for
business. In such event, on such day you will be permitted to
purchase or redeem shares of such Funds and net asset values
will be calculated for such Funds.
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
Funds portfolio securities transactions are recorded no
later than the first business day following the trade date.
The Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk
Commodity Strategy Fund and Invesco Commodities 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 Subsidiarys 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.
Timing of
Orders
For Funds other than Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt
Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you
can purchase or redeem shares on each business day prior to the
close of the customary trading session or any earlier NYSE
closing time that day. For Funds other than Premier Portfolio,
Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier U.S. Government
Money Portfolio, purchase orders that are received and accepted
A-12 The
Invesco Funds
before the close of the customary trading session or any earlier
NYSE closing time on a business day generally are processed that
day and settled on the next business day.
For Premier Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio, you can purchase or redeem
shares on each business day, prior to the Funds net asset
value determination on such business day; however, if your order
is received and accepted after the close of the customary
trading session or any earlier NYSE closing time that day, your
order generally will be processed on the next business day and
settled on the second business day following the receipt and
acceptance of your order.
For all Funds, you can exchange shares on each business day,
prior to the close of the customary trading session or any
earlier NYSE closing time that day. Shareholders of Premier
Portfolio, Premier Tax-Exempt Portfolio and Premier
U.S. Government Money Portfolio therefore cannot exchange
their shares after the close of the customary trading session or
any earlier NYSE closing time on a particular day, even though
these Funds remain open after such closing time.
The Funds price purchase, exchange and redemption orders at the
net asset value calculated after the transfer agent receives an
order in good order. Any applicable sales charges are applied at
the time an order is processed. A Fund may postpone the right of
redemption only under unusual circumstances, as allowed by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such as when the NYSE
restricts or suspends trading.
Taxes
A Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company 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
|
|
n
|
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 Funds 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.
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
If you are an individual and meet certain holding period
requirements, a portion of income dividends paid to you by a
Fund may be designated as qualified dividend income eligible for
taxation at long-term capital gain rates. These reduced rates
generally are available (through 2012) for dividends
derived from a Funds 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.
|
n
|
Distributions declared to shareholders with a record date in
Decemberif paid to you by the end of Januaryare
taxable for federal income tax purposes as if received in
December.
|
n
|
Any long-term or short-term capital gains realized from
redemptions of 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.
|
n
|
At the time you purchase your Fund shares, the Funds net
asset value may reflect undistributed income, undistributed
capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation in value of
portfolio securities held by the Fund. A subsequent distribution
to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your
investment, would be taxable. This is sometimes referred to as
buying a dividend.
|
n
|
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 28% of any
distributions or proceeds paid.
|
n
|
You will not be required to include the portion of dividends
paid by the 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.
|
n
|
Fund distributions and gains from sale or exchange of your Fund
shares generally are subject to state and local income taxes.
|
n
|
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 as a foreign tax credit. 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.
|
n
|
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.
|
The above discussion concerning the taxability of Fund dividends
and distributions and of redemptions and exchanges of Fund
shares is inapplicable to investors that generally are exempt
from federal income tax, such as retirement plans that are
qualified under Section 401 and 403 of the Code and
individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
Tax-Exempt and
Municipal Funds
|
|
n
|
You will not be required to include the
exempt-interest portion of dividends paid by the
Fund in your gross income for federal income tax purposes. 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.
|
n
|
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 you. However,
under recently enacted provisions of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, tax exempt interest on such municipal
securities issued in 2009 and 2010 is not an item of tax
preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.
|
n
|
Exempt-interest dividends from interest earned on municipal
securities of a state, or its political subdivisions, generally
are exempt from that states personal income tax. Most
states, however, do not grant tax-free treatment to interest
from municipal securities of other states.
|
n
|
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
|
A-13 The
Invesco Funds
|
|
|
derived from taxable investments or realized capital gains, they
will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains.
|
|
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
There are risks that: (a) a security issued as tax-exempt
may be reclassified by the Internal Revenue Service 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
Funds shares, to decline.
|
Money Market
Funds
|
|
n
|
A Fund does not anticipate realizing any long-term capital gains.
|
n
|
Because 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.
|
Real Estate
Funds
|
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
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.
|
n
|
The Funds foreign shareholders should see the SAI for a
discussion of the risks and special tax consequences to them
from a sale of a U.S. real property interest by a REIT in which
the Fund invests.
|
Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund, Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity
Strategy Fund and Invesco Commodities Strategy Fund
|
|
n
|
The Funds strategies of investing in derivatives and
financially-linked instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to the fixed income, equity and 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 debt instruments, stocks and
commodities.
|
n
|
The Funds must meet certain requirements under the Code for
favorable tax treatment as a regulated investment company,
including asset diversification and income requirements. The
Funds intend to treat the income each derives from
commodity-linked notes and their respective Subsidiary as
qualifying income. If, contrary to a number of private letter
rulings (PLRs) issued by the IRS, the IRS were to determine such
income 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
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010. The
Funds intend to limit their investments in their respective
Subsidiary to no more than 25% of the value of each Funds
total assets in order to satisfy the asset diversification
requirement.
|
|
n
|
Additionally, the Invesco Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund and the
Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund have received a
PLR from the IRS holding that the Funds income from a form
of commodity-linked note is qualifying income. The Invesco
Balanced-Risk Allocation Fund has also received a PLR from the
IRS holding that its income derived from its Subsidiarys
investments in commodity-linked derivatives is qualifying income.
|
Invesco Emerging
Market Local Currency Debt Fund
|
|
n |
The Fund 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 Fund. If
such regulations are issued, the Fund may not qualify as a
regulated investment company 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 the Fund,
resulting in the Funds failure to qualify as a regulated
investment company. In lieu of disqualification, the 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
for taxable years of the Fund with respect to which the extended
due date of the return is after December 22, 2010.

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
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.
Invesco Affiliates make payments as incentives to certain
financial intermediaries to promote and sell shares of the
Funds. The benefits Invesco Affiliates receive when they make
these payments include, among other things, placing the Funds on
the financial intermediarys funds sales
A-14 The
Invesco Funds
system, and access (in some cases on a preferential basis over
other competitors) to individual members of the financial
intermediarys sales force or to the financial
intermediarys 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% of
the public offering price of all shares sold by the financial
intermediary during the particular period. Payments may also be
calculated based on the average daily net assets of the
applicable Funds attributable to that particular financial
intermediary (Asset-Based Payments), in which case the total
amount of such cash payments shall not exceed 0.25% per annum of
those assets during a defined period. Sales-Based Payments
primarily create incentives to make new sales of shares of the
Funds and Asset-Based Payments primarily create incentives to
retain previously sold shares of the Funds in investor accounts.
Invesco Affiliates may pay a financial intermediary either or
both Sales-Based Payments and Asset-Based Payments.
Invesco Affiliates are motivated to make these payments as they
promote the sale of Fund shares and the retention of those
investments by clients of financial intermediary. 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.
Invesco Affiliates also 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 Funds SAI about these
payments and the services provided by financial intermediaries.
In certain cases these payments could be significant to the
financial intermediary. 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 Invesco Investment Services, Inc. at
800-959-4246
or contact your financial institution. We will begin sending you
individual copies for each account within thirty days after
receiving your request.
A-15 The
Invesco Funds
Obtaining
Additional Information
More information may be obtained free of charge upon request.
The SAI, a current version of which is on file with the SEC,
contains more details about the Fund and is incorporated by
reference into the prospectus (is legally a part of the
prospectus). Annual and semiannual reports to shareholders
contain additional information about the Funds
investments. The Funds annual report discusses the market
conditions and investment strategies that significantly affected
the Funds performance during its last fiscal year. The
Fund will also file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings
